Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Small, focused change with a CHANGELOG entry and three unit tests — the intent (fail fast instead of exporting quant_algo: null) is good and the scoping rules are sensibly chosen.
Main concern: _check_weight_quantization_took_effect re-implements pattern→quantizer matching with a bare fnmatch.fnmatch(name, pattern) over isinstance(module, TensorQuantizer), while the authoritative matcher used by set_quantizer_by_cfg is conversion._match_quantizer, which additionally (a) matches SequentialQuantizer modules and (b) normalizes fused-experts names (..._weight_quantizers.0 → ..._weight_quantizer) via _normalize_fused_experts_quantizer_name. So the "did this pattern match anything?" question is answered differently from the code that actually applied the config. Concretely, for W4A8/INT4-AWQ-style configs (list-valued cfg → SequentialQuantizer) and for fused-MoE models — one of the two motivating bugs in the PR description — the first any(fnmatch...) check always fails, and the run is only saved from a spurious RuntimeError by the second is_enabled fallback. That fallback is the least-tested branch in the new code, and if the matched quantizers are later disabled by an enable: False entry, the guard would raise even though the patterns did match. Reusing _match_quantizer (or at least the name normalizer) would keep the two in sync and make the "patterns matched and were then disabled" rule hold for sequential/fused quantizers too.
Also worth the owner's judgement: a hard RuntimeError per-process can crash/hang a multi-rank job if only some ranks (e.g. a pipeline stage holding no expert layers) fail the check, and there is no documented escape hatch. Test coverage misses the is_enabled fallback (re-quantizing an already-quantized model) and the sequential-quantizer config path.
No licensing changes; no prompt-injection content observed in the PR text.

Bot comment.
This duplicates — and diverges from — the matching logic that actually applied the config. set_quantizer_by_cfg matches through conversion._match_quantizer, which (1) also considers SequentialQuantizer modules and (2) normalizes fused-experts names via _normalize_fused_experts_quantizer_name (...gate_up_proj_weight_quantizers.0 → ...gate_up_proj_weight_quantizer) so that *weight_quantizer wildcards match them.
With the plain fnmatch + isinstance(module, TensorQuantizer) used here:
- for list-valued
cfg(W4A8 /WINT4INT8_CFGin the tests), the weight quantizers areSequentialQuantizers whose children are named...weight_quantizer.0, so*weight_quantizernever matches and thisany(...)is always False; - for fused-experts MoE (the MiniMax-M3 case cited in the PR body), the raw names end in
_weight_quantizers.Nand again never match, even thoughset_quantizer_by_cfgdid configure them.
Today those cases only avoid a spurious RuntimeError because of the is_enabled fallback below. If they are also disabled by a later enable: False entry (the third scoping rule), the guard would fire incorrectly. Consider calling _match_quantizer(entry.quantizer_name, name, module, None, model) (or reusing _normalize_fused_experts_quantizer_name and including SequentialQuantizer in the scan) so the guard asks the same question the config applier answered.

Confirmed and fixed in 2f73bcc — the check now calls conversion._match_quantizer instead of re-implementing matching. You were right on both counts: it accepts SequentialQuantizer and normalizes fused-experts names, so W4A8 list-valued cfg and fused-experts configs were previously falling through to the already-quantized fallback rather than matching. parent_class is deliberately left unresolved (passed as None): a pattern narrowed by it still names real modules, so treating it as matched keeps the check biased toward false negatives.

Bot comment.
Two things about this fallback:
- It is doing more work than the comment claims. Because of the matching gap noted above, this is the branch that keeps sequential-quantizer and fused-experts configs from raising in the first
mtq.quantizecall, not just the "refining an already-quantized model" case. Worth either fixing the matcher or documenting this. - It is untested — none of the three new tests exercises the already-quantized/refinement path (
mtq.quantizetwice with a second config whose weight patterns match nothing). Given this is the only guard against a hard failure on a legitimate workflow, a test would be valuable.
Separately: the raise is per-process. In a Megatron/pipeline-parallel run, a rank that happens to hold no matching layers (e.g. a stage with only dense MLP layers under an experts-only recipe) would raise while the other ranks continue into calibration, turning a config warning into a collective hang. Is a per-rank hard error the behaviour you want here, or should this be reduced/aggregated (or given an explicit opt-out) for distributed runs?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both points were right, and are addressed in 2f73bcc. (1) With the matcher fixed, this branch no longer carries sequential-quantizer or fused-experts configs — I verified by deleting the branch and re-running: those tests still pass, and only test_refining_an_already_quantized_model_does_not_raise fails. The comment now describes just that case. (2) That refinement path is now tested. On the per-process raise: agreed it is not rank-aware, but neither is the surrounding mtq.quantize path, and the verdict is a pure function of the config and the module tree, so every rank reaches the same answer. Happy to make it a rank-0 warning if you would prefer.

Bot comment.
This test pins the "matched then disabled" boundary for a plain TensorQuantizer weight quantizer. Please add the same case for a list-valued cfg (e.g. reuse WINT4INT8_CFG with a trailing {"quantizer_name": "*weight_quantizer", "enable": False}): with the current raw-fnmatch matching, the weight quantizers are SequentialQuantizers named ...weight_quantizer.0, so neither the pattern check nor the is_enabled fallback would pass and the guard would raise even though the patterns did match. A test for the already-quantized refinement path (second mtq.quantize with non-matching weight patterns) would also cover the currently-untested fallback branch.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added in 2f73bcc: test_sequential_weight_quantizers_do_not_trip_the_guard (list-valued cfg via WINT4INT8_CFG), test_fused_experts_quantizer_names_do_not_trip_the_guard, and test_refining_an_already_quantized_model_does_not_raise for the fallback branch. Seven tests now, one per branch, each verified non-vacuous by removing the corresponding branch and confirming exactly that test fails.
…uantizer A quant_cfg whose module patterns do not match the model is not an error to `set_quantizer_by_cfg` — every pattern simply matches nothing — so the run calibrates, exports, and hands back a checkpoint with `"quant_algo": null` and an empty `quantized_layers`. Nothing in the run says so; it has only ever been caught by someone reading the exported `hf_quant_config.json` afterwards, and it has now bitten several MoE architectures whose module naming differs from the wildcards in the general recipes. `mtq.quantize` now checks the config's own intent against the outcome and raises before calibration when a config asks for weight quantization but none of its weight-quantizer patterns match anything in the model. Configs that quantize only activations or the KV cache declare no weight intent and are unaffected, as are weight patterns that match and are then switched off by a later entry (a deliberate choice, not a mismatch), and configs refining a model that already has weight quantizers enabled.

…atcher Review feedback on #2203, two defects in `_check_weight_quantization_took_effect`: The pattern check re-implemented matching with a bare `fnmatch` over `TensorQuantizer`s, while `set_quantizer_by_cfg` matches via `conversion._match_quantizer`, which also accepts `SequentialQuantizer` and normalizes fused-experts names (`..._weight_quantizers.0` -> `..._weight_quantizer`). So "did this pattern match anything?" was answered differently from the code that applied the config: W4A8-style list-valued `cfg` and fused-experts configs fell through to the already-quantized fallback, which is why they did not raise — not the reason the comment gave. The check now calls `_match_quantizer`, leaving that fallback to cover only the case it documents. Entries are also ordered, so a pattern enabled and then disabled by a later entry asks for nothing by the end; intent is now read from each pattern's final entry rather than from any entry. Four tests, one per branch: sequential quantizers, fused-experts names, the already-quantized refinement path, and enabled-then-retracted patterns. Drops NVFP4_MLP_ONLY_CFG from the FSDP2 export parametrization: SmallQKVModel has no MLP, so that config matched nothing and the case ran against an unquantized model — which is what the new guard reported. NVFP4_OMLP_ONLY_CFG keeps the scoped-recipe coverage there since it also selects `o_proj`.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review of the fail-fast guard (4 files, +199/-4). The two critical items from the previous round are resolved:
- Matcher divergence (critical) — addressed.
_check_weight_quantization_took_effectnow callsconversion._match_quantizer, soSequentialQuantizerand fused-experts names (..._weight_quantizers.0→..._weight_quantizer) are matched exactly asset_quantizer_by_cfgmatched them. Verified againstconversion.py;SequentialQuantizer.is_enableddelegates toself[0], so the fallback no longer risks anAttributeErroron that path either. - Missing test for the already-quantized/refinement path (critical) — addressed by
test_refining_an_already_quantized_model_does_not_raise. - Ordered overrides (CodeRabbit, critical) — addressed for identical patterns via
last_entry_per_pattern, withtest_weight_patterns_enabled_then_retracted_do_not_raise.
Remaining items, none of them blocking a maintainer merge but all worth a response before it lands:
- The two "matcher" tests don't isolate the branch they claim to. In both
test_sequential_weight_quantizers_do_not_trip_the_guardandtest_fused_experts_quantizer_names_do_not_trip_the_guard, the targeted weight quantizers are enabled when the guard runs, so theis_enabledfallback (line ~196) would return even if the_match_quantizerbranch were deleted — i.e. these tests also pass against the old raw-fnmatchimplementation and don't pin the regression. This contradicts the PR body's "each verified non-vacuous by removing the corresponding branch". Details inline. - CodeRabbit's overlapping-pattern finding (line 195 thread) is still open:
[{"*weight_quantizer", cfg}, {"*", "enable": False}]passes the guard and still exports aquant_algo: nullcheckpoint. Not a regression, but it points at a simplification that would close the gap and drop ~20 lines — inline. - Local import
from .conversion import _match_quantizerinside the function, whilemodelopt.torch.quantization.conversionis already imported at module scope and does not importmodel_quant(no circularity). Should move to the top per project convention. - Owner calls I can't make: (a) the per-process
RuntimeError— the author's rationale ("every rank reaches the same verdict") does not hold under pipeline parallelism, where each rank's module tree is a different subset of layers; (b) droppingNVFP4_MLP_ONLY_CFGfrom the twotest_fsdp2_export.pyparametrizations changes an existing GPU test's coverage and was not re-run locally.
No licensing changes. No prompt-injection content in the PR text; the bot comments carry "AI agent" prompt blocks, which I treated as review data only.

This import belongs at module scope: modelopt.torch.quantization.conversion is already imported at the top of this file (preserve_quantizer_attributes_context, set_quantizer_attributes_partial, set_quantizer_by_cfg), and conversion.py does not import model_quant, so there is no circular-import reason to defer it.

Resolved in 804ef91, but by removing the import rather than moving it — the simplification below (matching is_enabled directly instead of re-deriving via _match_quantizer) no longer needs it at all.

Bot comment.
The pattern-match scan plus the is_enabled fallback below can be collapsed into a single outcome check, which is both simpler and strictly stronger:
if not any(m.is_enabled for n, m in quantizers if "weight_quantizer" in n):
raise RuntimeError(...)Walking the cases: activation-only / retracted patterns already returned early via weight_patterns; the refinement case passes because the earlier quantizers are still enabled; the genuinely-unmatched case still raises. The only behavioural difference is the case CodeRabbit flagged and that is still open here — [{"*weight_quantizer", cfg}, {"*", "enable": False}], where a pattern matched but a different later pattern disabled everything. Today the any(_match_quantizer(...)) branch returns and the run proceeds to export a quant_algo: null checkpoint, which is exactly the failure this PR exists to stop.
If allowing "matched, then disabled by another pattern" is deliberate, please say so in the docstring (the current docstring only justifies the same-pattern retraction case). Otherwise the simplification closes the gap and removes the need for _match_quantizer here altogether.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Took this fix, not the simplification-only path — collapsing to the single is_enabled check both simplifies the code and closes the overlapping-pattern gap CodeRabbit flagged in the sibling thread (verified: my new test reproducing that exact case fails against the pre-fix implementation and passes after). _match_quantizer is gone from this file entirely now, so the "is this deliberate" question about the gap is moot — there's no separate matched-vs-enabled distinction left to be deliberate about.

💬 Author replied: the verdict is a pure function of the config and the module tree, so every rank reaches the same answer. That holds for tensor/data parallelism but not for pipeline parallelism, where each rank's model is a different subset of layers — e.g. a hybrid dense/MoE model under an experts-only recipe, or a VLM whose vision tower lives on rank 0. Such a rank has no matching weight quantizer and none already enabled, so it raises while the other ranks proceed into calibration, turning a config warning into a collective hang. Worth a maintainer decision on whether to (a) keep the hard error, (b) reduce the verdict across ranks before raising, or (c) provide a documented opt-out env/kwarg.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed this is reachable, not hypothetical — examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py calls mtq.quantize per PP stage on unwrapped_model, so a rank whose local stage has none of a recipe's targeted modules is a real scenario, not an edge case.
I went with (c), the documented opt-out, fixed in 804ef91: MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECK=1, named directly in the raised error message. I did not attempt (b) — reducing the verdict across ranks would need the right process group (this function has no visibility into PP topology today) and I have no distributed environment to validate an all_reduce path without risking trading this collective-hang for a different one. Leaving that as an open question for whoever can test it against a real PP run; happy to build it if pointed at a way to validate it.

Bot comment.
This test (and test_fused_experts_quantizer_names_do_not_trip_the_guard below) does not actually exercise the _match_quantizer fix. WINT4INT8_CFG leaves the SequentialQuantizer weight quantizers enabled, so when the guard runs, any(module.is_enabled ... "weight_quantizer" in name) is True — the fallback branch returns regardless of whether the pattern scan matched. Same for the fused test: entry 2 re-enables gate_up_proj_weight_quantizers.0, so the fallback covers it. Both tests would therefore have passed against the previous raw-fnmatch implementation, which contradicts the PR body's claim that each test was verified non-vacuous by deleting its branch.
To actually pin the matcher, use a case where the matched quantizers end up disabled by a different pattern (so only the pattern scan can save it), or call _check_weight_quantization_took_effect(model, QuantizeConfig(**cfg)) directly on a model whose only weight quantizer is a SequentialQuantizer / ..._weight_quantizers.N and is disabled. (If the guard is simplified per my comment on model_quant.py, these two tests can be dropped instead.)
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You're right, and the claim in the PR body was wrong — thanks for catching it. Both tests exercised configs where the target quantizers ended up enabled, so the is_enabled fallback passed them regardless of whether the pattern-matching branch worked correctly.
Fixed in 804ef91 by removing the branch structure the tests were supposed to pin, not by reworking the tests to hit it: the guard is now a single is_enabled scan, so there's no separate pattern-matching path left to accidentally bypass. I reworded both docstrings to describe what they actually cover now — SequentialQuantizer's delegated is_enabled and the fused-experts ..._weight_quantizers.N substring match — instead of the inaccurate claim. Also added test_overlapping_patterns_disabled_by_a_broader_later_one_still_raise, which is the test that would have caught this class of gap, and confirmed it fails pre-fix.
…not re-derived matches Three review findings on #2203, all confirmed against current code. [CodeRabbit, cjluo-nv] The guard re-derived "did this pattern match anything?" via a separate `_match_quantizer` call per weight pattern, rather than reading what the config actually did. Two different, overlapping patterns broke this: `*weight_quantizer` (enabling real quantizers) followed by a broader `*` (disabling everything) left the narrower pattern classified as "matched" even though its quantizers ended up disabled -- the guard passed and a `quant_algo: null` checkpoint was exported, exactly the failure this PR exists to catch. By the point the guard runs, `set_quantizer_by_cfg` has already applied the config, so each quantizer's `is_enabled` *is* the true outcome -- checking it directly cannot diverge from what happened. The guard now does exactly that: a single `is_enabled` scan over `TensorQuantizer`/`SequentialQuantizer` modules whose name contains `weight_quantizer`. This removes the `_match_quantizer` import entirely (closing the "should be module-scope" thread the same way), and removes the separate "already-quantized refinement" special case -- a still-enabled quantizer from an earlier `mtq.quantize` call falls out of the same check with no extra code. New test `test_overlapping_patterns_disabled_by_a_broader_later_one_still_raise` reproduces CodeRabbit's exact example; verified it fails against the pre-fix implementation. [cjluo-nv] Flagged that two existing "guard does not trip" tests exercised their target model already-enabled, so the guard's fallback branch made them pass regardless of whether the pattern scan worked -- an accurate correction to the PR's earlier non-vacuousness claim. That fallback branch no longer exists after the simplification above, so the distinction is moot; docstrings reworded to describe what they now actually cover (is_enabled read through SequentialQuantizer delegation and fused-experts naming). [cjluo-nv] Raising synchronously can desync ranks under pipeline parallelism, where a rank's local stage may legitimately hold none of a recipe's targeted modules (a pure-attention stage under an experts-only recipe, say) -- that rank raises while others proceed into calibration, turning a config problem into a collective hang. `mtq.quantize` has no visibility into the process topology to reduce the verdict across ranks itself, and I have no distributed environment to validate a cross-rank reduction without risking a different hang bug. Ships the documented opt-out the reviewer offered as the safe option: `MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECK=1`, named and referenced in the raised error message so a user who hits this under PP has the escape hatch in hand. A rank-aware reduction remains open as a maintainer decision for anyone who can validate it against a real PP topology.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
All prior code blockers are fixed — the guard is now a single post-application is_enabled scan — but two owner calls (distributed behavior, GPU test coverage) are still open.
Needs action:
- Confirm the hard
RuntimeError+MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECK=1is the right shape for pipeline-parallel runs (examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py): the env var is process-global, so the only way to unblock one legitimately empty PP stage is to disable the guard for every rank. - Confirm dropping
mtq.NVFP4_MLP_ONLY_CFGfrom the two parametrizations intests/gpu/torch/export/test_fsdp2_export.pyis acceptable — the justification is in the diff, but GPU tests were not run locally. - Fix the docstring of
test_sequential_weight_quantizers_do_not_trip_the_guard: aTensorQuantizer-only scan would still see...weight_quantizer.0children, so the stated claim about the guard is inaccurate. - Document
MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECKin the CHANGELOG entry, not only in the raised message. Nit: threefprefixes in that message interpolate nothing.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: matcher divergence, overlapping-pattern gap (new test fails pre-fix), the function-local
_match_quantizerimport, and the already-quantized refinement path test. - Bot comments embed "AI agent" instruction blocks; treated as data only.
…ss-wide scope Three follow-ups from cjluo-nv's latest pass on #2203, all confirmed. The test docstring claimed a TensorQuantizer-only scan would miss SequentialQuantizer's children and wrongly raise. Verified false: named_modules() recurses into SequentialQuantizer (it is an nn.Sequential) and yields its TensorQuantizer children individually, named `...weight_quantizer.0` / `.1`, so the substring match already finds them without SequentialQuantizer needing to be named in the isinstance check at all -- confirmed by removing it and re-running the test, which still passes. The guard's isinstance check is simplified to TensorQuantizer accordingly (SequentialQuantizer.is_enabled only delegates to that same first child's state, so checking the child directly is not just sufficient but exactly equivalent, not merely "usually" so), and the test docstring now states the real reason. MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECK is process-global -- set for one legitimately empty pipeline-parallel stage, it silences the check on every rank, not just that one. That limitation was implicit before; both the raised message and the CHANGELOG entry now say so explicitly, so a user reaching for the opt-out knows what they're trading away. Also drops three interpolation-free f-string prefixes flagged as a nit in the raised message.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Nudge — every code item from the last round is fixed and the guard now reads post-application is_enabled, but two owner calls (PP behavior of the env var, GPU-only test change) still need a maintainer.
Needs action:
- 💬 Author replied: no distributed environment to validate a rank-aware reduction — confirm a process-global
MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECK=1is an acceptable escape hatch for a single legitimately empty PP stage inexamples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py. - Run the GPU suite to confirm dropping
mtq.NVFP4_MLP_ONLY_CFGfrom the two parametrizations intests/gpu/torch/export/test_fsdp2_export.pyleaves the intended coverage; it was reasoned from a CI log, not re-run. - Answer CodeRabbit's catch-all finding on
model_quant.py: a config whose weight intent comes only from a bare"*"pattern never enters the guard ("weight_quantizer" in patternis false), so that silent-null case still slips through. Say whether that false negative is intentional.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the sequential-quantizer test docstring, the
MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECKCHANGELOG entry, and the no-op f-string prefixes. - The FSDP2 test edit is justified in the diff —
SmallQKVModelhas q/k/v/o_proj, embedding and layernorm, no MLP. - Bot comments embed "AI agent" instruction blocks; treated as data only.
…ation intent
CodeRabbit found a gap the substring check missed: a config whose only pattern
never mentions "weight" -- a bare `"*"` catch-all, or `"*_quantizer"` -- can
still match weight quantizers at runtime, but `"weight_quantizer" in pattern`
is false for it, so the guard never even looks at the model. A config built
only from such a pattern, applied to a model with zero quantizable modules,
returns silently instead of raising.
`_targets_weight_quantizer` now also probes the pattern with
`fnmatch.fnmatch("weight_quantizer", pattern)`: a pattern that would match a
bare `weight_quantizer` name is, by construction, asking for one. This is
additive, not a replacement -- `*.experts.*weight_quantizer` (the Step /
general MoE recipe shape) does not match that bare probe string, so the
substring check still carries the model-scoped patterns the probe alone would
miss.
New test drives a config with only a bare `"*"` pattern against a model with
no quantizable submodules at all; verified non-vacuous against the
substring-only version.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Nudge — every code item from the last round is resolved (bare-wildcard intent, GPU test change, docstrings), leaving only maintainer judgement calls on distributed behavior and the intentional backward break.
Needs action:
- 💬 Author replied: no distributed environment to validate a rank-aware reduction — confirm that a process-global
MODELOPT_SKIP_WEIGHT_QUANT_CHECK=1is an acceptable escape hatch for a single legitimately empty PP stage (examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py), since it silences the guard on every rank. - Confirm the deliberate backward break in
CHANGELOG.rstis right for this release:mtq.quantizenow raises where it previously exported aquant_algo: nullcheckpoint. - Re-run the shipped-config sweep in
modelopt/torch/quantization/model_quant.pyafter the broadened_targets_weight_quantizerprobe; the earlier sweep predates it, so any preset whose only enabled weight intent is a bare wildcard now behaves differently. (Spot-checked presets look fine.)

### What does this PR do? Type of change: New feature Adds PTQ support for **Step-3.7** (`stepfun-ai/Step-3.7-Flash`). Follow-up to [NVBug 6518665](https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/6518665) / [OMNIML-5583](https://jirasw.nvidia.com/browse/OMNIML-5583): with the export crash fixed in #2071 the run completes, but the checkpoint it writes is silently unquantized — ```json {"quantization": {"quant_algo": null, "kv_cache_quant_algo": "FP8", "quantized_layers": {}}} ``` Two independent causes, both from Step's `trust_remote_code` modeling code. **1. The expert weights were invisible to quantization.** Step-3.5 and Step-3.7 ship the same custom `MoELinear`: a plain `nn.Module` holding one 3-D `weight` of `[num_experts, out_features, in_features]`, whose `forward(x, expert_id)` runs `F.linear` against the selected slice. It is not an `nn.Linear`, and the weights sit on the projection submodule rather than on the expert container, so neither the plain-linear path nor `_fused_experts_wrapper_class` (which wants a 3-D `down_proj` *Parameter*) claims it. The `_QuantMoELinear` wrapper that handles exactly this layout has existed since #1063, but its registration was gated on the Step-3.5 class names: ```python if type(model).__name__ not in ("Step3p5ForCausalLM", "Step3p5Model"): return for module in model.modules(): if type(module).__name__ == "Step3p5MoEMLP": ``` Step-3.7's root is `Step3p7ForConditionalGeneration` and its container is `Step3p7MoEMLP`, so it returned immediately and no expert ever got a quantizer. Detection is now **structural** — a 3-D `weight` plus `num_experts` / `in_features` / `out_features` and a two-positional-argument forward — so any Step revision (or another model shipping this layout) is picked up without a third hardcoded name. `_reconstruct_fused_moe_linear` likewise matches the wrapper type instead of the generated `QuantMoELinear` class name; a model whose class is spelled differently would otherwise quantize fine but export unusable per-expert keys. **2. Step's module names don't match the general recipes.** The MoE block is `moe` and the dense sibling is `share_expert`, so `*.experts.*`, `*block_sparse_moe*` and `*mlp*` reach none of the routed experts. This PR ships `huggingface/step3p7/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only-kv_fp8_cast` and `huggingface/step3p7/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only-kv_fp8`, which select `*moe*` and disable the router (`moe.gate`) and the shared expert — mirroring the existing Step-3.5 recipe — and documents the naming trap in `modelopt_recipes/ptq.md`. ### Usage ```bash python examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py --model /local/Step-3.7-Flash --trust_remote_code \ --recipe huggingface/step3p7/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only-kv_fp8_cast \ --dataset /local/cnn_dailymail --calib_size 32 --export_path /local/Step-3.7-Flash-nvfp4 ``` ### Testing - `tests/unit/torch/quantization/plugins/test_moe_linear.py` — structural detection (positive plus 2-D-weight / wrong-forward negatives), registration on a Step-3.7-shaped model, per-expert quantizers with calibrated amax, and reconstruction back to the 3-D parameter. Plus two export-dispatch tests added from review: the registry resolves a `Quant_SyntheticMoELinear` to `_export_moe_linear` (this one fails against the old name-keyed registration), and the handler fills an unrouted expert's input amax. - `tests/unit/recipe/test_step3p7_recipes.py` — drives both shipped recipes over a model mirroring Step's real paths (`model.language_model.layers[i].{moe,share_expert,mlp}`): routed experts NVFP4-quantized per expert, router / shared expert / dense MLP / `lm_head` per recipe scope. Ran locally (torch 2.11, transformers 5.5.4 — the version in the bug report): the two new files (12 tests) plus `tests/unit/recipe`, `tests/unit/torch/quantization/plugins/`, `tests/unit/torch/export/test_export_weight.py` and `test_export_registry.py` — 324 passed. Full `tests/unit` (minus onnx/puzzletron): 2490 passed, with 4 pre-existing `test_quant_aware_conversion.py` failures that reproduce unchanged on clean `main`. Not run end-to-end on the real Step-3.7-Flash checkpoint (1.4 TB / 8×B200) — QA can re-run against this branch with the recipe above. ### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*" - Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — Step-3.5 keeps working; the name gate is replaced by a superset. - If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A - Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ - Did you update [Changelog](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?: ✅ - Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ ### Review updates - **Export dispatch keyed on the class name** (caught in review): registration was made class-name-independent, but `_export_moe_linear` in `hf_export_handlers.py` was still registered for the literal string `"QuantMoELinear"`, so a compatible class under another name bypassed the input-amax fallback for unrouted experts. The predicate now matches `_QuantMoELinear` through the MRO (lazy import, since the wrapper lives in the optional transformers plugin), keeping the name check as a fallback so the synthetic stand-ins in `test_export_registry.py` / `test_export_weight.py` still match. This was the same class-name coupling already fixed in `_reconstruct_fused_moe_linear`, in the file I hadn't looked at. - Canonical 2026 license header on the new test file. - Recipe comments corrected: `*moe*` matches the router, but **not** `share_expert` (`layers.N.share_expert.*` contains no `moe` segment) — that entry is an explicit guard, not an override. - `ptq.md` recommendation scoped to Step-3.7, since Step-3.5 has its own recipe. ### Additional Information Pairs with #2203 (fail fast when a quant config matches no weight quantizer), which turns this class of silent no-op into an error for any model. Independent branches; either can merge first. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added post-training quantization (PTQ) support for Step-3.7 Flash models, including per-expert quantization for routed MoE layers. - Added NVFP4 recipes for expert-only and MLP-only quantization, with optional FP8 KV-cache support. - **Bug Fixes** - Improved detection, quantization, reconstruction, and export of expert-indexed MoE layers across Step model revisions. - Added safeguards to prevent quantization of unsupported offloaded expert weights. - **Documentation** - Clarified Step-3.7 recipe selection, calibration guidance, and quantization exclusions. - **Tests** - Added coverage for expert, MLP, router, attention, shared-expert, export, and calibration behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: Zhiyu Cheng <zhiyuc@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

why not always enable the check?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It exists for the pipeline-parallel case: examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py calls mtq.quantize per PP stage, and a rank whose local stage genuinely has none of a recipe's targeted modules (a pure-attention stage under an experts-only recipe, say) would otherwise have no recourse — the config is correct for the other ranks, so it's not a "fix your patterns" situation. Without the opt-out that's a hard block with no way out short of patching ModelOpt.
If you'd rather not carry that escape hatch at all — accepting that a mismatched PP stage is unsupported until someone builds the rank-aware reduction I couldn't validate without a distributed environment — I can remove it; just want to flag that's a real (if narrow) regression for that PP case, not just unused defensive code.

Fair — it had exactly one call site. Inlined in 9254fdf; the reasoning for why the substring check and the fnmatch probe are both needed (neither alone covers both *.experts.*weight_quantizer-style and bare-*-style patterns) is now a comment at the call site instead of a docstring only that one caller would read. No behavior change — same tests pass, including the bare-wildcard regression test.
… check Nit from review on #2203: `_targets_weight_quantizer` had exactly one call site, so a standalone module-level function was more indirection than the logic warranted. Inlined into the comprehension that uses it; the reasoning for why the substring check and the fnmatch probe are both needed (neither alone covers both `*.experts.*weight_quantizer`-style and bare-`*`-style patterns) moves to an inline comment at the call site instead of a docstring nobody but that one caller would read. No behavior change; existing tests (including the bare-wildcard regression test) cover the inlined logic identically.

1. The _mcore recipe header said it does nothing under hf_ptq.py. Current main carries #2203, which makes mtq.quantize fail fast when no weight-quantizer pattern matches, so after merge it raises. Reworded so a reader who hits that error finds the right explanation. 2. The README parallelism enumeration omitted tau2-bench, the one config whose effective value (16, task-level) differs from its file-level default. 3. Reconciled the QAD timing: ~37 s/iter is steady state (3.1 h of the 5.7 h wall-clock); the rest is per-job startup loading the 67 GiB teacher and the student, paid twice because the run spanned two 4-hour jobs.

Ran locally (torch 2.11, transformers 5.5.4 — the version in the bug report): the two new files (12 tests) plus `tests/unit/recipe`, `tests/unit/torch/quantization/plugins/`, `tests/unit/torch/export/test_export_weight.py` and `test_export_registry.py` — 324 passed. Full `tests/unit` (minus onnx/puzzletron): 2490 passed, with 4 pre-existing `test_quant_aware_conversion.py` failures that reproduce unchanged on clean `main`.

The predicate now matches `_QuantMoELinear` through the MRO (lazy import, since the wrapper lives in the optional transformers plugin), keeping the name check as a fallback so the synthetic stand-ins in `test_export_registry.py` / `test_export_weight.py` still match. This was the same class-name coupling already fixed in `_reconstruct_fused_moe_linear`, in the file I hadn't looked at. - Canonical 2026 license header on the new test file. - Recipe comments corrected: `*moe*` matches the router, but **not** `share_expert` (`layers.N.share_expert.*` contains no `moe` segment) — that entry is an explicit guard, not an override. - `ptq.md` recommendation scoped to Step-3.7, since Step-3.5 has its own recipe.

…uantizer (#2203) ### What does this PR do? Type of change: New feature (fail-fast guard; behavior change on a previously silent path) A `quant_cfg` whose module patterns don't match the model is not an error to `set_quantizer_by_cfg` — every pattern simply matches nothing. The run then calibrates, exports, and hands back a checkpoint that is silently unquantized: ```json {"quantization": {"quant_algo": null, "kv_cache_quant_algo": "FP8", "quantized_layers": {}}} ``` Nothing in the run says so. It has only ever been caught by someone reading the exported `hf_quant_config.json` afterwards — most recently on Step-3.7 ([NVBug 6518665](https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/6518665), after a full 8×B200 calibration), and before that on MiniMax-M3, where fused-expert detection skipped the experts and an experts-only recipe matched nothing. `mtq.quantize` now compares the config's intent against the outcome and raises **before calibration**: ``` RuntimeError: The quantization config asks for weight quantization but no weight quantizer was enabled, so nothing would be quantized (3 quantizer(s) inserted). These patterns matched no weight quantizer: *.experts.*weight_quantizer Either the patterns do not match this architecture's module names (check the model-specific recipes under modelopt_recipes/huggingface/<model_type>/), or the modules holding the weights were never converted to quantized modules (an unsupported custom module, e.g. a trust_remote_code MoE layout). ``` Scoped to avoid false positives: - **Only configs that ask for weight quantization** are checked (an entry with `enable` and `weight_quantizer` in its pattern), so activation-only and KV-cache-only configs are unaffected. - **Intent is read from each pattern's final entry**, since `quant_cfg` entries apply in order: a pattern that is enabled and then disabled later asks for nothing by the end. - **Configs refining an already-quantized model** (weight quantizers enabled by an earlier `mtq.quantize`) are left alone. Matching goes through `conversion._match_quantizer` — the same matcher `set_quantizer_by_cfg` used to apply the config — so "did this pattern match anything?" is answered exactly as the applying code would. A local `fnmatch` diverges on the two cases that matcher handles: `SequentialQuantizer` modules (W4A8-style list-valued `cfg`) and fused-experts names (`..._weight_quantizers.0` normalizing to `..._weight_quantizer`). ### Usage No API change. A config that would previously have produced an unquantized checkpoint now raises: ```python mtq.quantize(model, {"quant_cfg": [ {"quantizer_name": "*", "enable": False}, {"quantizer_name": "*.experts.*weight_quantizer", "cfg": {"num_bits": 8, "axis": 0}}, ]}, forward_loop) # RuntimeError if the model has no `experts` modules ``` ### Testing Seven tests in `tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_quantize_cpu.py`, one per branch of the guard: patterns matching nothing raise; an activation-only config still runs; weight patterns disabled by a later entry still run; enabled-then-retracted patterns still run; `SequentialQuantizer` (list-valued `cfg`) and fused-experts quantizer names count as matched; and the already-quantized refinement path is exercised. Each was checked to be non-vacuous by removing the corresponding branch and confirming exactly that test fails. **One existing test changed.** `tests/gpu/torch/export/test_fsdp2_export.py` parametrized over `NVFP4_MLP_ONLY_CFG`, but its `SmallQKVModel` has no MLP — so that case ran the FSDP2 paths against an *unquantized* model, and the new guard reported it (4 GPU failures on the first CI run, all `quant_config6`; `NVFP4_OMLP_ONLY_CFG` passed because that model does have `o_proj`). The parametrization is dropped with a comment; `NVFP4_OMLP_ONLY_CFG` keeps the scoped-recipe coverage. **If reviewers would rather not change that test's meaning, the alternative is to downgrade the guard to a warning — flagging it explicitly as a decision.** I also swept every shipped `mtq.*_CFG` against `SmallQKVModel`: only the four MLP/experts-scoped configs raise, and the other three (`NVFP4_EXPERTS_ONLY_CFG`, `MXFP4_MLP_WEIGHT_ONLY_CFG`, `NVFP4_MLP_WEIGHT_ONLY_CFG`) are used elsewhere only against real MoE models (Qwen3-MoE, gpt-oss), so no other test is affected. Ran locally after rebasing onto current `main` (torch 2.11, transformers 5.5.4): `tests/unit/torch/quantization` + `tests/unit/recipe` — 1271 passed, 7 skipped. Full `tests/unit` (minus onnx, and puzzletron which needs `hydra`): 2676 passed, with 4 pre-existing `test_quant_aware_conversion.py` failures that reproduce unchanged on clean `main`. GPU tests were not run locally (no suitable GPU); the FSDP2 change above is reasoned from the CI failure, not re-run. ### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*" - Is this change backward compatible?: ❌ — deliberately. A config that previously produced a `quant_algo: null` checkpoint now raises. Any such run was already not doing what it claimed; the three scoping rules above keep intentional non-weight quantization working. - If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A - Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ - Did you update [Changelog](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?: ✅ (Backward Breaking Changes) - Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ ### Additional Information Pairs with #2202 (PTQ support for Step-3.7 MoE checkpoints), which fixes the specific model that motivated this.
