What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Splits the calibrated ONNX graph utilities into four cohesive capability owners:

  • graph_indexing.py owns read-only graph indexing and pattern matching.
  • graph_selection.py owns calibrated placement decisions and the runtime probes needed to make those decisions; get_extended_model_outputs stays with selection for that reason.
  • graph_rewrites.py owns graph transformations that are independent of Q/DQ policy.
  • qdq_graph.py owns graph-level Q/DQ analysis and policy, including policy-specific rewrites such as remove_partial_input_qdq; qdq_utils.py remains the lower-level Q/DQ node, tensor, and format utility layer.

This four-way split is the intended long-term layout. All production and test callers now import the owning modules directly, and the former graph_utils.py catch-all module is removed. The extraction preserves the existing graph-selection and rewrite algorithms; all 43 moved functions were verified to have identical ASTs before and after the split.

Usage

# N/A: behavior-preserving internal refactor.

Testing

  • pytest -q tests/unit/onnx/quantization
    • 376 passed, 13 intentionally xfailed
  • Focused tests after rebasing onto latest main
    • 47 passed, 6 intentionally xfailed
  • GPU ONNX quantization suite, excluding the existing AutoTune integration test
    • 46 passed, 3 skipped
  • Broader ONNX unit suite
    • 658 passed, 1 skipped, 13 intentionally xfailed
    • One ONNX Runtime CopyTensorAsync is not implemented failure was reproduced unchanged on the base revision.
  • Review-feedback validation
    • Public insert_matmul_casts star-import assertion passed.
    • pytest -q tests/unit/onnx/quantization/test_graph_selection.py tests/unit/onnx/test_partitioning.py: 42 passed.
  • Changed-file pre-commit hooks passed, including Ruff, formatting, mypy, Bandit, RST checks, and license checks.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

Make sure you read and follow Contributor guidelines and your commits are signed (git commit -s -S).

Make sure you read and follow the Security Best Practices (e.g. avoiding hardcoded trust_remote_code=True, torch.load(..., weights_only=False), pickle, etc.).

  • Is this change backward compatible?: No -- direct imports from modelopt.onnx.quantization.graph_utils must migrate to the new capability modules. No shim is retained because removing the catch-all path is the purpose of this ownership split; the package-level quantization entry points are unchanged.
  • 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?: Yes
  • Did you update Changelog?: Yes -- the backward-breaking section contains a symbol-level migration map.
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: N/A

Additional Information

Follows #2457, which added focused characterization coverage for the calibrated ONNX quantization paths.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ONNX quantization utilities were split from graph_utils.py into dedicated graph indexing, selection, rewrite, and QDQ modules. Callers, tests, and the changelog now use the new module locations, and tests verify removal of the legacy module.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: the code moves look faithful and every caller I checked is updated, but this deletes the public modelopt.onnx.quantization.graph_utils module with no shim, no CHANGELOG entry, and an unanswered "backward compatible?" box.

Needs action:

  • Add a CHANGELOG.rst "Backward Breaking Changes" entry for the removal of modelopt.onnx.quantization.graph_utils, naming the new home of each moved symbol (precedent: the 0.45 modelopt.torch.kernels reorg), or keep a re-export shim for one release.
  • Answer the "Is this change backward compatible?" item in the PR body and say why no deprecation shim is warranted for an importable module.
  • Explain the boundary choice in the PR body: qdq_graph.py sits next to the existing qdq_utils.py and also holds rewrites (remove_partial_input_qdq), while graph_selection.py holds a runtime probe (get_extended_model_outputs) — confirm the four-way split is the intended long-term layout.
  • Add insert_matmul_casts to __all__ in modelopt/onnx/quantization/graph_rewrites.py, or rename it private.

No action needed:

  • The graph-utils-module param removal in test_calibrated_quantization.py is justified: it was under xfail(strict=True) and would now XPASS; it is replaced by a direct find_spec is None assertion.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not remove graph outputs during iteration.

graph.outputs.remove(output_tensor) changes the collection that the loop is traversing. If two adjacent outputs are initializers, the second output shifts into the current position and the loop skips it. The remaining initializer output can still cause the runtime or conversion error that this function must prevent.

Iterate over a copy of graph.outputs.

Thanks. This is a valid issue in the pre-existing implementation, but it is not introduced by this PR: the same loop is present in graph_utils.py on the base commit. This PR intentionally performs a mechanical extraction with unchanged rewrite behavior, so I am deferring this behavior change to a focused follow-up with a regression test for adjacent initializer outputs.

@ajrasane, thank you for the clarification. The defect predates this pull request, and the extraction preserves the existing behavior.

A focused follow-up with a regression test for adjacent initializer outputs is appropriate. Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for that follow-up?

Learning: In the ONNX quantization graph utility split, `modelopt/onnx/quantization/graph_rewrites.py::remove_output_initializers` intentionally preserves the behavior from the pre-existing `modelopt/onnx/quantization/graph_utils.py`. Fixes to its graph-output iteration behavior should be made in a focused follow-up with a regression test for adjacent initializer outputs.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: the two code-level concerns from the last review are fixed, but the design question I raised — why this particular four-way boundary — is still unanswered in the PR body, and this is a 25-file public-API split.

Needs action:

  • Explain the module boundary in the PR body: qdq_graph.py sits beside the existing qdq_utils.py and also holds a rewrite (remove_partial_input_qdq), while the runtime probe get_extended_model_outputs lives in graph_selection.py. Confirm this is the intended long-term layout.
  • Answer the "Is this change backward compatible?" checkbox in the PR body and state that the CHANGELOG.rst migration map is the migration path, with no shim.
  • Confirm the three CodeRabbit findings in graph_rewrites.py (mutating graph.outputs during iteration, break in the consumer-input loop, initializer fused when it has other consumers) are pre-existing behaviour carried over verbatim, and file a follow-up rather than fixing them in this move-only PR.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the CHANGELOG.rst "Backward Breaking Changes" entry with a per-symbol migration map, and insert_matmul_casts added to graph_rewrites.__all__.
  • Callers all resolve; no remaining graph_utils imports in the tree.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

All prior concerns are now closed, so this is ready to merge pending a human sign-off on the size and public-API removal.

Needs action:

  • Sign off as a human owner: 25 files / +2326 −2159 and the removal of the public modelopt.onnx.quantization.graph_utils module put this above bot-approval; the justified test edit (dropping the graph-utils-module xfail param, replaced by a find_spec is None assertion) also wants a human eye.
  • Open the promised follow-up issue(s) for the three pre-existing graph_rewrites.py defects so they aren't lost after merge.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the three CodeRabbit graph_rewrites.py findings are confirmed verbatim carryovers (author linked the base-commit lines; CodeRabbit withdrew them), the four-way boundary rationale is now in the PR body, and the backward-compatibility answer names the CHANGELOG.rst migration map as the migration path with no shim.
