QKV and cos/sin tensors must be on the same CUDA device

Error message

QKV and cos/sin tensors must be on the same CUDA device

What it means

All QKV tensors and the cos/sin RoPE tables must live on the same CUDA device. The kernel launches on img_q's device and cross-device pointers would be invalid.

Solutions

  1. Move cos/sin to img_q.device before the call.
  2. Create per-rank RoPE tables using the local device in TP code.
  3. Set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES or torch.cuda.set_device consistently.

Example fix

// before
cos = cos.to('cuda:0')  # while img_q is on cuda:1
// after
cos = cos.to(img_q.device)
sin = sin.to(img_q.device)
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

assert cos.device == img_q.device and sin.device == img_q.device

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: img_q on cuda:1 while cos was created on cuda:0 (or vice versa) in multi-GPU / tensor-parallel Hunyuan inference.

Common situations: Tensor-parallel or pipeline-parallel setups where RoPE tables are cached on device 0 but projections run on another rank's device.
