## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added a public backend-specific calibrator registration API to support
FP8 scale-sweep calibration, allowing backends to supply custom
calibrators used during FP8 tuning.

* **Tests**
* Added unit tests confirming registry insertion/overwrite, that
registered calibrators are invoked when FP8 scale-sweep is enabled, are
not invoked when disabled, and that calibration falls back to defaults
when no backend is registered.

kinjalpatel27 010b220dc0 vLLM fakequant export update for AWQ checkpoint (#1242)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug

Enables end-to-end AWQ checkpoint export and reload in the vLLM
fake-quant serving path (`MODELOPT_STATE_PATH`). Previously, the
`input_quantizer` was using incorrect `pre_quant_scale` especially with
grouped quantizers like `qkv_proj`, using simply the first
`input_quantizer.pre_quant_scale`. This MR adds
`_resmooth_experts_for_export` that non-mutatively averages
`pre_quant_scale` across MoE experts and unifies input `_amax`, required
because vLLM uses a single input quantizer per expert group. Adds
`merge_amax_tensors_for_group` (element-wise max for same-shape, `cat`
for GQA, scalar-max fallback) replacing the scalar-collapsing
`torch.stack().max()` that dropped per-channel `_amax` structure.

### Usage

```python
# Export AWQ checkpoint from HF model
  from modelopt.torch.export.plugins.vllm_fakequant_hf import export_hf_vllm_fq_checkpoint
  export_hf_vllm_fq_checkpoint(model, export_dir="./awq_vllm_checkpoint")      
```

### Testing
**Step 1 — Export the quantized checkpoint:**
  ```bash                    
  python examples/llm_ptq/hf_ptq.py \
--pyt_ckpt_path <MODEL_PATH> \
    --recipe <AWQ_RECIPE> \
--calib_size 512 \
--export_path <EXPORT_DIR> \
    --vllm_fakequant_export
```
  This produces `<EXPORT_DIR>/vllm_fq_modelopt_state.pth` with the averaged per-expert                                                                                                                           
  pre_quant_scale and unified _amax now included.                                                                                                                                                              
   

 Step 2 — Serve via vLLM fakequant worker:                                                                                                                                                                    
```bash
  MODELOPT_STATE_PATH=<EXPORT_DIR>/vllm_fq_modelopt_state.pth \
python examples/vllm_serve/vllm_serve_fakequant.py \
      <EXPORT_DIR> --tensor-parallel-size <TP>   
```

Tested for quantization configurations:
```

FP8_DEFAULT_CFG (input_q disabled)
INT8_SMOOTHQUANT_CFG
INT8_WEIGHT_ONLY_CFG
NVFP4_DEFAULT_CFG
NVFP4_AWQ_LITE_CFG

Keval MorabiaandClaude Sonnet 4.6 3d0f0db49e [CI] Replace tox with nox, use nemo:26.04 for megatron tests, and simplify CI workflows (#1286)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: New feature / infrastructure improvement

Follow-up to #1285 for correct CI test environment for megatron based
tests

Replaces `tox` + `tox-current-env` with `nox` for all test, lint, docs,
and wheel build sessions. The primary motivation was that
`tox-current-env` is incompatible with uv venvs in NGC containers (e.g.
NeMo's `/opt/venv`) — it picks the system Python via
`sys._base_executable` instead of the container's venv Python which has
megatron packages pre-installed.

Key changes:
- **`noxfile.py`** replaces `tox.ini` with GPU, CPU unit,
partial-install, pre-commit, docs, and wheel sessions
- **GPU sessions** use `venv_backend="none"` (run directly in container
env) and `python -m pip/pytest` to avoid PATH mismatches
- **uv** is set as the default venv backend (if available) for CPU
sessions (faster installs)

Also includes CI workflow simplifications:
- **`_pr_gate.yml`** new reusable workflow centralizing file-change
detection + linux-check wait logic (was duplicated across 3 workflow
files)
- **Collapsed pr/non-pr job pairs** into single jobs with conditional
`runs-on` in `gpu_tests.yml`, `example_tests.yml`,
`regression_tests.yml`
- **Collapsed `multi-py` / `multi-torch` / `multi-transformers`** into a
single `multi-version` matrix job in `unit_tests.yml`
- **PR path filtering** for unit test secondary jobs (multi-version,
launcher, partial-install) — skipped if no relevant files changed
- **Fixed schedule/workflow_dispatch skipping** — jobs with `needs:
[pr-gate]` were incorrectly skipped when all pr-gate internal jobs were
skipped; fixed by making the gate job always run
- **multi-version, launcher, partial-install** now also run on
`schedule` / `workflow_dispatch`

### Usage

```bash
python -m pip install nox uv                                                    # install nox and uv (once)
nox -l                                                                          # list all sessions
nox -s gpu_megatron                                                             # run a GPU session (inside container)
nox -s "unit-3.12(torch_211, tf_latest)"                                        # run a specific unit test combination
nox -s "unit-3.12(torch_211, tf_latest)" -R                                     # force-recreate venv (e.g. after dep changes)
COVERAGE_PROCESS_START=pyproject.toml nox -s "unit-3.12(torch_211, tf_latest)"  # with coverage
```

### Testing
- Ran `nox -l` to verify all session names
- Ran `gpu_megatron` session locally inside NeMo container — confirmed
it uses `/opt/venv/bin/python` correctly
- Manually triggered nightly-runs:
- Unit:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/actions/runs/24608013657
- GPU:

760c980727 Add ResNet50 support for torch_onnx quantization workflow (#1263)
## Summary
- Add end-to-end ResNet50 support in the torch_onnx quantization → ONNX
export → TRT engine pipeline
- Fix multiple Conv2d-related export issues that blocked Conv2d-heavy
models from working with FP8/INT8/MXFP8/NVFP4/auto quantization modes
- Fix `configure_linear_module_onnx_quantizers` to handle all modules
with block quantization (not just `nn.Linear`), fixing NVFP4/MXFP8
export for models with quantized non-Linear modules
- Add `--trt_build` flag to `torch_quant_to_onnx.py` and simplify test
infrastructure

### Files Changed
- `modelopt/torch/_deploy/utils/torch_onnx.py` — Disable FP8 Conv2d
weight quantizers and autocast during ONNX export
- `modelopt/torch/quantization/export_onnx.py` — Fix
`configure_linear_module_onnx_quantizers` for all module types with
block quantization
- `examples/torch_onnx/torch_quant_to_onnx.py` — Add `--trt_build` flag,
calibration for FP8 override quantizers, Conv2d→FP8 override for auto
mode, filter_func updates
- `examples/torch_onnx/README.md` — Add ResNet50 to supported models
table
- `tests/examples/torch_onnx/test_torch_quant_to_onnx.py` — Add ResNet50
test entry, simplify using `--trt_build`
- `tests/_test_utils/torch/vision_models.py` — Add ResNet50 to timm
model registry

### Quantization modes passing
- ✅ FP8, INT8, MXFP8, NVFP4, Auto (all 5 modes pass export + TRT build)
- INT4_AWQ excluded (pre-existing limitation for all models)

## Test plan
- [x] All 5 resnet50 test modes pass: `pytest
tests/examples/torch_onnx/test_torch_quant_to_onnx.py -k resnet50` (5/5
passed)
- [x] Full regression: 18 passed, 2 failed (pre-existing swinv2_tiny
fp8/int8 failures)

jingyu-ml feec81ad2b Add the Skip softmax for diffusion (#1166)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature, new example <!-- Use one of the following:
Bug fix, new feature, new example, new tests, documentation. -->

<!-- Details about the change. -->

## Summary

- Add skip-softmax sparse attention (BLASST) for diffusion models via
dedicated Triton kernels — an inference kernel with tile skipping and a
calibration kernel with vectorized multi-threshold sparsity measurement
- Add `triton_skip_softmax` method with exponential model calibration
(`scale_factor = a * exp(b * sparsity)`) and log-space fitting for
diffusion models
- Add Triton kernel backends for diffusers and LTX attention dispatch
- Fix calibration to skip RULER dataset generation when user provides
their own `forward_loop` (required for non-LLM models)

## Changes

### Triton kernels (`modelopt/torch/kernels/triton_fa.py`)
- **`_attn_fwd`**: Forward kernel with optional tile skipping — tiles
whose max attention score is far below the running softmax max are
skipped entirely (no V load, no softmax, no accumulation). Runtime
sparsity measurement via atomic counters.
- **`_attn_fwd_calibrate`**: Calibration kernel that computes full
attention while measuring how many tiles would be skipped at each of N
thresholds simultaneously. Uses per-program output buffers (zero atomic
contention) and vectorized multi-threshold comparison.
- **`attention()`** / **`attention_calibrate()`**: Python wrappers for
inference and calibration kernels.

### Kernel backends
(`modelopt/torch/sparsity/attention_sparsity/kernels/`)
- **`diffusers_triton_attention.py`**: Registers `modelopt_triton`
backend in diffusers' attention dispatch. Handles [B, S, H, D] → varlen
layout conversion, calibration/inference mode switching, thread-local
configuration, and counter accumulation.
- **`ltx_triton_attention.py`**: Patches `ltx_core.Attention` modules
for Triton dispatch with the same calibration/inference modes.

### Method
(`modelopt/torch/sparsity/attention_sparsity/methods/triton_skip_softmax.py`)
- `TritonSkipSoftmaxMethod`: Context managers for calibration (→
calibration kernel) and inference (→ forward kernel with tile skipping).
Three threshold priority levels: raw threshold > calibrated scale_factor
> static threshold.

### Calibration
(`modelopt/torch/sparsity/attention_sparsity/calibration/`)
- **`calibrator.py`**: `DynamicThresholdCalibrator` with `fit_logspace`
option — fits exponential model in log space (minimizes relative error)
for diffusion models where scale_factors span many orders of magnitude.
Records observed sparsity range for extrapolation warnings.
- **`calibrate.py`**: Skips RULER dataset when `forward_loop` is
provided; passes `fit_logspace` through from config.

### Config & conversion
- **`config.py`**: `CalibrationConfig.fit_logspace` field (default
False, recommended True for diffusion models).
`skip_softmax_raw_threshold` field for direct threshold mode.
- **`conversion.py`**: Auto-registers diffusers/LTX Triton backends on
`sparsify()`. Updated summary display.

### Example
- **`wan22_skip_softmax.py`**: End-to-end example for WAN 2.2 5B/14B
with baseline, raw-threshold, and calibrated modes. Supports runtime
sparsity reporting.

## Threshold modes

| Mode | How it works | Use case |
|------|-------------|----------|
| **Raw threshold** (`--raw-threshold -0.7`) | Passed directly to kernel
as `skip_threshold_log2` | Quick testing, sweeps |
| **Calibrated** (`--calibrate --target-sparsity 0.5`) | `scale_factor =
a * exp(b * target)`, then `threshold = scale_factor / seq_k` at runtime
| Production use with seqlen adaptation |
| **Static** (default `skip_softmax_threshold=0.1`) | `log2(lambda) *
sm_scale` | Fallback |

## Usage

```bash
# Fixed raw threshold (no calibration)
python examples/diffusers/sparsity/wan22_skip_softmax.py \
    --model-path /path/to/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
    --raw-threshold -0.7 \
    --prompt "A cat playing piano" --output out.mp4

# With calibration (log-space fit for diffusion models)
python examples/diffusers/sparsity/wan22_skip_softmax.py \
    --model-path /path/to/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
    --calibrate --target-sparsity 0.5 \
    --prompt "A cat playing piano" --output out.mp4

# Dense baseline for comparison
python examples/diffusers/sparsity/wan22_skip_softmax.py \
    --model-path /path/to/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
    --baseline \
    --prompt "A cat playing piano" --output baseline.mp4

realAsma 2d868d3f1f Performant layerwise calibration for large models (#1251)
## Summary

Adds **performant layerwise calibration** for quantizing large models
(e.g. DeepSeek-R1 671B) that don't fit entirely on GPU. ([Example
commands](#example-commands))

1. **Performant calibration for large models** — Each decoder layer is
moved from CPU/disk to GPU (accelerate) or unsharded (FSDP2) **only
once** and kept on GPU for the entire calibration step. Previously,
every calibration batch triggered weight transfer for every layer —
O(num_batches) weight movements per layer. Now it is O(1) per layer.
This also means you can **increase batch size** since only one layer's
weights occupy GPU at a time — e.g. DeepSeek-R1 on a single node
(8×80GB) with `batch_size=16` and `gpu_max_mem_percentage=0.5`.
2. **Checkpoint save/resume** — Saves progress after each layer, so jobs
that exceed cluster time limits (e.g. 4-hour Slurm windows for 100+
layer MoE models) can resume from the last completed layer.
3. **Rename** `sequential_calibrate` → `layerwise_calibrate` for
clarity.

### Design details

The existing layerwise state machine (skip/run/capture) already
processes one layer at a time, but skip-mode layers still kept their
parameters in the ModuleList — so frameworks transferred all weights
every forward pass. This PR adds:
- **`_SkipLayer`**: replaces fully-calibrated layers with a
parameter-free dummy in the ModuleList, so framework hooks have nothing
to transfer
- **`persistent_materialization`**: keeps the active layer on GPU for
the entire calibration step, avoiding repeated offload/reload cycles

Checkpoint save is per-layer; restore is bulk — quantizer state and
weights for layers 0..K-1 are restored once at the end of calibration,
keeping the hot path fast.

### Example commands

**Qwen3-8B** (NVFP4+GPTQ, single GPU):
```bash
python hf_ptq.py \
    --pyt_ckpt_path Qwen/Qwen3-8B \
    --recipe nvfp4_gptq_sequential.yaml \
    --calib_size 64 \

Keval MorabiaandClaude Sonnet 4.6 e4b054bf32 Fix and Speedup megatron_mmlu by >10x via prefill scoring and global batching (#1280)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature + bug fix

Two improvements to Megatron inference utilities:

**1. Pipeline Parallel (PP) correctness fixes**

PP inference was producing garbage output (MMLU ~0.24, random chance).
Two root causes:

- `megatron_generate` / `megatron_prefill` used
`get_forward_backward_func()` (the training pipeline scheduler), which
is not designed for inference. Rewrote both functions to use explicit
P2P communication via `recv_from_prev_pipeline_rank_` /
`send_to_next_pipeline_rank`, matching the `run_mcore_inference`
pattern.
- `import_mcore_gpt_from_hf` loads HF weights into stage 0's embedding
but never updates the output_layer on the last PP stage when
`share_embeddings_and_output_weights=True`. At model init,
`setup_embeddings_and_output_layer()` all-reduces from stage 0 to sync
the output layer; after importing HF weights that all-reduce is stale.
Fix: call `model.setup_embeddings_and_output_layer()` again after
import.

**2. `megatron_mmlu` speedup (~6x)**

Replaces the `megatron_mmlu` implementation with a significantly faster
approach that matches how `lm-evaluation-harness` scores multiple-choice
questions.

**Before:** autoregressive generation (`megatron_generate`, `osl=2`) per
example, 114 separate `load_dataset` calls, batch_size=1 — 260s for 5%
data.

**After:** single prefill forward pass + argmax over {A,B,C,D} logits, 2
`load_dataset` calls, configurable batch_size — 18s for 5% data (~6x
faster).

### Changes

**PP fixes:**
- `megatron_generate` / `megatron_prefill`: replace
`get_forward_backward_func` with explicit P2P
(`recv_from_prev_pipeline_rank_` / `send_to_next_pipeline_rank`)
- `import_mcore_gpt_from_hf`: call
`model.setup_embeddings_and_output_layer()` after HF weight import when
PP>1 and `share_embeddings_and_output_weights=True`
- `megatron_prefill`: add `skip_return_logits` param and VLM support
(needed for PP non-last stages)

**MMLU speedup:**
- **Log-likelihood scoring**: replace `megatron_generate` with
`megatron_prefill` — one forward pass per batch, no autoregressive
decode loop
- **Global batching**: collect all examples across all subjects, sort by
descending sequence length, run in `batch_size` chunks
- **2 dataset loads** instead of 114: use `load_dataset("cais/mmlu",
"all")` with per-subject grouping; skip dev load when `few_shots=0`
- **`percentage` → `fraction`** parameter rename for clarity
- **tqdm progress bar** (rank-0 only)

### Testing

- `test_megatron_generate_and_mmlu` parametrized over `tp` and `pp`.
Accuracy assertion: `0.36 < score < 0.39`. Manually checked generated
text is coherent.
- Re-ran M-Bridge Minitron MMLU based pruning for Nano v2 9B -> 7B and
all top 10 candidate's MMLU numbers are ballpark similar as before

### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"

Keval MorabiaandClaude Sonnet 4.6 7e82a5cb03 [Serialization]: remove explicit weights_only default from safe_load to allow user to bypass if needed (#1279)
## Summary

- Remove the `kwargs.setdefault("weights_only", True)` call from
`safe_load`, deferring to torch's built-in default (which is `True` for
torch>=2.6)
- This allows users to override via the
`TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1` env var when they trust a
checkpoint but hit `pickle.UnpicklingError`
- Add a test that verifies the default fails on unsafe objects and the
env var bypass works

## Test plan

yeyu-nvidiaandClaude Opus 4.6 07ae8e7128 Add LoRA co-training support for HF EAGLE speculative decoding (#1060)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: New feature + bug fixes

Adds **LoRA co-training** support for HF EAGLE speculative decoding.
When `eagle_base_lora=True`, HF PEFT LoRA adapters are injected into the
base model and co-trained alongside the EAGLE draft module in a single
online training pass. A preservation loss (KL divergence between the
original frozen base model output and the LoRA-adapted output) prevents
base model drift. LoRA adapter weights are exported in standard peft
format alongside EAGLE draft artifacts.

### Key features

- **LoRA injection**: `peft.inject_adapter_in_model` applied in-place
(no wrapper), keeping the existing `HFEagleModel` structure intact.
- **Preservation loss**: Cross-entropy `H(ref, lora)` — equivalent
gradient to `KL(ref || lora)` since `H(ref)` is constant w.r.t. LoRA
params.
- **Warmup schedule**: `eagle_base_lora_warmup_steps` freezes LoRA for N
steps while the EAGLE head stabilizes, then enables co-training via a
`LoRAWarmupCallback`.
- **Logits detach regularization**: `eagle_base_lora_logits_detach_prob`
stochastically detaches base logits from the EAGLE loss path, preventing
LoRA from degenerating to maximize EAGLE accuracy at the cost of base
model quality.
- **Export**: Standard peft format (`adapter_model.safetensors` +
`adapter_config.json`) alongside EAGLE draft model.
- **Merge script**: `scripts/merge_lora.py` merges LoRA weights into the
base model and restores the original `config.json` (avoids transformers
5.x rewriting `rope_theta` → `rope_parameters` which breaks
vLLM/TRT-LLM).
- **Multinode fix**: `dp_shard_size` now uses `WORLD_SIZE` instead of
local GPU count.

### Config options

```python
mtsp.convert(model, mode=[("eagle", {
    "eagle_base_lora": True,                          # enable LoRA co-training
    "eagle_base_lora_rank": 64,                       # LoRA rank
    "eagle_base_lora_alpha": 16.0,                    # LoRA scaling
    "eagle_base_lora_target_modules": ["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj"],
    "eagle_base_lora_preservation_loss_weight": 0.1,  # preservation loss weight
    "eagle_base_lora_warmup_steps": 0,                # freeze LoRA for N steps
    "eagle_base_lora_logits_detach_prob": 0.5,        # detach prob (0=never, 1=always)
})])
```

### Experimental results (Qwen3-8B, checkpoint-60000)

Base model quality preserved across detach_prob sweep (lm_eval: IFEval,
ARC-C, Winogrande — results pending final collection).

**Acceptance rate** (mt_bench, draft_length=3, output_length=4096,
temperature=0):

| detach_prob | vLLM AR | TRT-LLM AR |
|---|---|---|
| baseline (no LoRA) | 2.14 | 2.15 |
| 0.5 | 1.45 | 1.44 |
| 0.8 | **3.06** | **3.01** |
| 0.85 | 2.90 | 2.90 |
| 0.9 | 2.76 | 2.77 |
| 0.95 | 2.51 | 2.58 |
| 0.99 | 2.37 | 2.37 |
| 0.999 | 2.30 | 2.27 |
| 0.9999 | 2.31 | 2.26 |

Best AR at `detach_prob=0.8`: ~40% improvement over baseline.

### Testing

`tests/unit/torch/speculative/plugins/test_hf_speculative_lora.py` (5
tests):
- `test_lora_layers_injected` — LoRA layers present after conversion
- `test_trainable_params` — only `lora_*` and `eagle_module` params are
trainable
- `test_forward_returns_loss` — forward returns non-zero scalar loss
- `test_eagle_offline_incompatible` — `eagle_base_lora=True` +
`eagle_offline=True` raises `ValueError`
- `test_export_lora_artifacts` — export produces standard peft adapter
files

### Bug fixes (included in this PR)

1. **`launch_train.sh` case pattern ordering**: glob
`--eagle_base_lora*` was before specific patterns
(`--eagle_base_lora_rank*`, etc.), silently swallowing LoRA args.
2. **LoRA optimizer exclusion during warmup**: warmup freezing excluded
LoRA from the optimizer entirely; fixed with `add_param_group` in the
callback.
3. **`merge_lora.py` config.json**: `save_pretrained()` with
transformers >=5.x rewrites `rope_theta` → `rope_parameters`, breaking
vLLM positional embeddings. Fixed by copying the original base model
config.
4. **Multinode `dp_shard_size`**: used local GPU count instead of
`WORLD_SIZE`.

### Checklist

- [x] Backward compatible (all new config fields have defaults)
- [x] Uses `peft` via lazy imports (no hard dependency)
- [x] Unit tests added
- [x] Online HF training only (`eagle_offline=True` blocked)

Shengliang Xu c9b11559f1 Normalize .yml to .yaml in modelopt_recipes (#1260)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Chore

Standardize YAML file extensions in `modelopt_recipes/` to `.yaml` for
consistency. The existing recipes used a mix of `.yml` (PTQ recipes) and
`.yaml` (speculative decoding, model-specific recipes).

#### Changes

**Renamed files:**
- `modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/fp8_default-fp8_kv.yml` → `.yaml`
- `modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/nvfp4_default-fp8_kv.yml` → `.yaml`
- `modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only-fp8_kv.yml` → `.yaml`
- `modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only-fp8_kv.yml` → `.yaml`
- `modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/nvfp4_omlp_only-fp8_kv.yml` → `.yaml`

**New pre-commit hook:** `normalize-yaml-ext`
- `tools/precommit/normalize_yaml_ext.py` — auto-renames `.yml` to
`.yaml`
  for any staged file under `modelopt_recipes/`. Runs before recipe
  validation so future contributions are caught automatically.

**Updated references:**
- `tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py` — built-in recipe paths updated to
  `.yaml`

Note: `load_recipe()` and `load_config()` probe both `.yml` and `.yaml`
suffixes, so callers using paths without extensions (e.g.,
`load_recipe("general/ptq/fp8_default-fp8_kv")`) are unaffected.

### Testing

Existing recipe loader tests pass with updated paths.

Shengliang Xu b6c6ec342c use typed quantize config instead of a raw dict (#1249)
### What does this PR do?

But fix:

Use typed QuantizeConfig instead using raw dict for formal typed
ModelOpt configs.

The dict typing was accidental.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Refactor**
* Quantization recipe configuration is now implemented with a
strongly-typed, structured schema that enforces type safety and provides
enhanced validation with comprehensive error detection capabilities.

* **Tests**
* Updated recipe loading tests to correctly validate quantization
configurations when recipes are loaded from directories, fully
supporting the new structured object-based configuration format.

Ajinkya RasaneandClaude Opus 4.6 202c3d3894 Add SwinTransformer support for torch_onnx quantization workflow (#1235)
## Summary
- Enable end-to-end quantize → ONNX export → TRT engine pipeline for
SwinTransformer models (v1 and v2) across FP8, INT8, MXFP8, NVFP4, and
auto precision modes
- Add Conv2d quantization overrides for TRT compatibility (TRT only
supports FP8/INT8 for convolutions)
- Fix FP8 LayerNorm type mismatch in TRT stronglyTyped mode by adding
`LayerNormalization` to `change_casts_to_fp16`
- Fix `cast_initializer_to_dtype` crash when node has no initializer
inputs
- Simplify `download_example_onnx.py` to a single `--timm_model_name`
(required) flag, removing redundant `--vit` and `--llama` flags
- Add vision model support matrix to README (ViT, Swin, SwinV2)
- Rewrite tests: parametrize over (ViT, Swin, SwinV2) × (fp8, int8,
mxfp8, nvfp4, auto) with TRT engine build verification

## Test plan
- [ ] `python -m pytest
tests/examples/torch_onnx/test_torch_quant_to_onnx.py -v` — 15 tests (3
models × 5 modes), all pass
- [ ] Verified Swin accuracy on ImageNet-1k across all precisions (FP8:
81.29%, INT8: 81.12%, MXFP8: 81.32%, NVFP4: 80.79%, Auto: 80.84% TRT
top-1 vs 81.37% base)
- [ ] INT4_AWQ deferred (TODO in test file) — requires INT4 exporter
changes for non-MatMul/Gemm consumer patterns

h-guo18 6403389eb0 Feat: Configurable Eagle ROPE scaling during export (#1238)
### What does this PR do?

JIRA ticket: https://jirasw.nvidia.com/browse/OMNIML-3469

Type of change: New feature

Decouple EAGLE training rope configuration from export rope
configuration, enabling separate YaRN rope scaling injection at export
time for long-context inference.

#### Changes

**Configurable export rope scaling (`EagleConfig`)**
- Add `eagle_export_rope_scaling` field to `EagleConfig` with default
YaRN config (`factor=32.0`, `original_max_position_embeddings=2048`)
- Set to `{}` to disable rope scaling injection at export

**Simplified training defaults (`default_config.py`)**
- Change default training rope from `llama3` (theta=500k) to `default`
(theta=10k) — models now train with simple positional embeddings; rope
scaling is applied only at export
- Add `rope_theta` inside `rope_scaling` dict for transformers 5.x
cross-version compatibility

**Move config validation/rewriting into `EagleConfig` (`config.py`)**
- `_derive_eagle_offline`: derives `eagle_offline` from
`data_args.offline_data_path` via validation context, removing manual
assignment in `main.py`
- `_check_rope_scaling_consistency`: rejects configs where
`eagle_export_rope_scaling` is set but training `rope_type` is not
`"default"`
- `_warn_rope_vs_training_seq_len`: warns when
`original_max_position_embeddings` differs from `training_seq_len`

**Export rope injection (`hf_spec_export.py`)**
- Inject `eagle_export_rope_scaling` into the exported HF config when
training rope_type is `"default"`
- Fall back `rope_theta` from `rope_scaling` dict for transformers 5.x
compatibility

**Fix Megatron RotaryEmbedding crash (`megatron_eagle.py`)**
- `dict_to_config()` set `rope_scaling=True` whenever the `rope_scaling`
key existed, even without a `"factor"` — causing `RotaryEmbedding` to
divide by `None`
- Now only enables `rope_scaling` when the dict actually contains a
`"factor"` key

### Usage

Configure in YAML config (or use defaults from `eagle3.yaml`):
```yaml
eagle:
  eagle_export_rope_scaling:
    rope_type: yarn
    factor: 32.0
    original_max_position_embeddings: 2048
```

Set to empty dict to disable export rope injection:
```yaml
eagle:
  eagle_export_rope_scaling: {}
```

### Testing

- New unit tests: `tests/unit/torch/speculative/test_eagle_config.py` —
rope consistency validator, seq_len warning, context-derived
`eagle_offline`
- New unit tests: `tests/unit/torch/export/test_hf_spec_rope_export.py`
— export rope injection, fallback, and empty-config cases

yeyu-nvidiaandClaude Sonnet 4.6 9050188034 Fix test_collect_hidden_states: use synthetic short conversations (#1234)
## Summary

- `test_collect_hidden_states` was using real daring-anteater
conversations (typically 1000+ tokens) but the tiny test model has
`max_position_embeddings=32`. Both sampled conversations exceeded the
default `--max-seq-len 3072` filter, producing zero `.pt` files and
failing the assertion.
- Added a `tiny_conversations_path` fixture with synthetic short
single-turn conversations that tokenize within
`max_position_embeddings=32`.
- Changed `test_collect_hidden_states` to use this fixture with
`--max-seq-len 32`.
- Added a `None` guard for `tokenizer.chat_template.replace(...)` to
avoid `AttributeError` when the tokenizer has no chat template.

## Test plan
- [ ] `pytest
tests/examples/speculative_decoding/test_eagle_offline_ptq.py::test_collect_hidden_states`
passes
- [ ] CI `speculative_decoding` job passes

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Resolved compatibility issues when tokenizers do not have a chat
template configuration by adding proper error handling.
* Standardized tokenization input extraction logic across different
transformer library versions for consistent behavior.

* **Tests**

Shengliang Xu da0e8ff132 Validate non-empty cfg when enabling quantizers in quant_cfg (#1192)
### What does this PR do?

An entry with enable=True and an empty or invalid cfg (e.g., cfg={},
cfg=[], or cfg=42) would pass normalize_quant_cfg_list but later crash
in set_quantizer_by_cfg when QuantizerAttributeConfig(enable=True) was
constructed with no actual quantizer attributes.

Add early validation in normalize_quant_cfg_list to reject such entries
at config time rather than surfacing a confusing Pydantic
ValidationError deep in the conversion pipeline.


### Testing

new unit tests added

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Stricter validation for quantizer entries: enabled quantizers must
have a non-empty dict or non-empty list of non-empty dicts; empty or
invalid cfg values now raise a clearer error. Normalization still
preserves explicit enable/disable flags.
* **Tests**
* Added unit tests covering rejection of empty/invalid configs when
enabled and acceptance when disabled, and ensuring normalized output
preserves disabled state.

Ajinkya RasaneandClaude Opus 4.6 3baa2da62e Upgrade ONNX from 1.19 to 1.21 (#1207)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Upgrade ONNX dependency from `~=1.19.0` to `~=1.21.0`. ONNX 1.20+
removed several deprecated
helper functions (`float32_to_bfloat16`, `float32_to_float8e4m3`,
`pack_float32_to_4bit`) that
`onnx_graphsurgeon` 0.5.x still references at import time. This PR adds
a compatibility shim
(`modelopt/onnx/_onnx_compat.py`) that restores these functions using
`ml_dtypes` before any
`onnx_graphsurgeon` import occurs. This supersedes the partial inline
fix from #1204 by also
handling `float32_to_float8e4m3`.

Changes:
- Bump `onnx~=1.19.0` to `onnx~=1.21.0` in `pyproject.toml`
- Add `modelopt/onnx/_onnx_compat.py` compatibility shim for removed
ONNX APIs
- Import shim in `modelopt/onnx/__init__.py` and
`tests/unit/onnx/conftest.py`
- Remove usage of removed `onnx.helper.pack_float32_to_4bit` in
`test_quant_utils.py`
- Update example requirements (`genai_llm`, `whisper`) to `onnx==1.21.0`

**TensorRT Compatibility:** TRT 10.16-GA supports opsets 9–24. ModelOpt
quantization modes
use opsets 19–23, all within range. ONNX 1.21 does not force opset 26.

### Usage

```python
# No API changes — the upgrade is transparent to users.
# The compatibility shim is applied automatically on import.
import modelopt.onnx
```

### Testing

- 469/470 ONNX unit tests pass inside
`nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorrt:25.06-py3` (1 pre-existing ORT
`CopyTensorAsync` EP issue, not ONNX-related)
- 6/6 `torch_onnx` integration tests pass (fp8, int8, nvfp4, mxfp8,
int4_awq, auto)
- ViT FP8 quantization via `torch_onnx` → TRT engine build → ImageNet
eval: **85.3% top-1, 97.8% top-5**
- ViT FP8 quantization via `onnx_ptq` → TRT engine build succeeds
- All pre-commit hooks pass (ruff, mypy, bandit, license headers)

ZhiyuandClaude Opus 4.6 d4279920e0 Generic Fused MoE Quantization + Export for transformers 5.0+ (#1187)
## What does this PR do?

Add generic quantization and export support for **fused MoE expert
modules** in HuggingFace transformers 5.0+.

In transformers 5.0+, all major MoE models switched from sequential
per-expert `nn.ModuleList` to **fused 3D tensor parameters**
(`gate_up_proj`, `down_proj`). This breaks ModelOpt's existing
per-expert quantization and export pipeline, which assumes iterable
expert submodules.

**Affected models (verified against transformers v5.5.0 source):**
- `MixtralExperts` (Mixtral)
- `Qwen2MoeExperts` (Qwen2-MoE)
- `Qwen3MoeExperts` (Qwen3-MoE)
- `Qwen3_5MoeExperts` (Qwen3.5-MoE)
- `DeepseekV3NaiveMoe` (DeepSeek-V3)
- `JambaExperts`, `OlmoeExperts`, and any future model following the
same HF standard pattern

**Key insight:** All these models share an identical fused expert
structure and forward pattern. A single generic solution replaces N
model-specific implementations.

### Context: relationship to PR #975 and PR #1170

- **PR #975** (`kmorabi/bump-transformers-5.0`): Adds experimental
transformers 5.0 support but explicitly skips batched MoE experts. This
PR fills that gap.
- **PR #1170** (`chenjiel/refactor_qwen35`): Handles only Qwen3.5 using
`_QuantFunctionalMixin`. This PR generalizes that approach to all fused
MoE models.

### Changes

**Quantization** (`modelopt/torch/quantization/plugins/huggingface.py`):
- `_QuantFusedExperts(_QuantFunctionalMixin)` -- Generic wrapper that
intercepts `F.linear` calls and applies per-expert quantization via
storage-offset-based expert index recovery. Each expert gets its own
weight and input quantizers (`nn.ModuleList`).
- `_is_fused_experts_module()` -- Structural detector: `gate_up_proj`
(3D) + `down_proj` (3D) + `num_experts` + `act_fn`.
- `register_fused_experts_on_the_fly()` -- Auto-registration callback,
added to `CUSTOM_MODEL_PLUGINS` before `register_sparse_moe_on_the_fly`
so explicit registrations (Llama4, GptOss, etc.) take priority.
- `_get_fused_expert_intermediate_dim()` -- Helper for cross-version
attribute name resolution (`intermediate_dim` / `intermediate_size` /
fallback to shape).

**Export** (`modelopt/torch/export/moe_utils.py`,
`unified_export_hf.py`, `layer_utils.py`):
- `_export_fused_experts()` -- Splits fused 3D weights into per-expert
2D projections (`gate_proj`, `up_proj`, `down_proj`), handles amax
fallback for uncalibrated experts, proportionally slices per-channel
amax, and registers results under the standard
`experts.{E}.gate_proj.weight` naming convention.
- Integration in `_process_quantized_modules` and
`_export_transformers_checkpoint` to dispatch to `_export_fused_experts`
for fused expert modules.
- Structural detection in `get_expert_linear_names` for fused experts.
Added `MixtralSparseMoeBlock` to the `gate_proj`/`down_proj`/`up_proj`
group (transformers 5.0 naming).

**Tests**
(`tests/unit/torch/quantization/plugins/test_fused_experts.py`):
- Synthetic fused expert model matching the exact HF 5.0+ pattern.
- Tests for structural detection, auto-registration, two-level
registration (block + expert), quantizer creation, forward pass-through
correctness, expert index recovery, and export output structure.

### Two-level registration design

SparseMoeBlock --> _QuantSparseMoe (calibration control, token counting,
top_k override) .experts --> _QuantFusedExperts (per-expert F.linear
interception + quantization)


`register_fused_experts_on_the_fly` runs first to register the inner
expert module; `register_sparse_moe_on_the_fly` then registers the outer
block. `_QuantSparseMoe.layer_sync_moe_local_experts_amax` skips fused
experts (they are not iterable), as per-expert amax is managed
internally by `_QuantFusedExperts`.
### Known limitations
- **`@use_experts_implementation` backends**: The `F.linear`
interception only works with `experts_implementation="eager"` (default).
`batched_mm` / `grouped_mm` use `torch.bmm` / `torch._grouped_mm`
instead and are not intercepted.
- **Storage offset fragility**: Expert index recovery via
`storage_offset()` breaks under `.contiguous()`, FSDP2 redistribution,
or `torch.compile` materialization. Runtime assertions are included.
- **Toggle state machine**: Assumes exactly 2 `F.linear` calls per
expert. Documented in docstrings.
- **Non-standard MoE models**: DBRX, GptOss, Llama4, Step3p5 have
different layouts and are already explicitly handled. The generic
solution does not attempt to cover these.
### Testing
- [x] Unit tests with synthetic fused expert model: detection,
registration, quantization, export
- [x] Verify existing sequential MoE tests still pass
(`test_sparse_moe.py`)
- [ ] GPU test with a real MoE model on transformers 5.x
### Before your PR is "Ready for review"
- Is this change backward compatible?: Yes -- existing explicit
registrations take priority; sequential MoE models are unaffected.
- Did you write any new necessary tests?: Yes
- Did you update Changelog?: No (pending)

Ajinkya RasaneandClaude Opus 4.6 b3feebfe02 Replace in-repo LLM ONNX export with TensorRT-Edge-LLM (#1210)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Documentation, Cleanup

This PR removes the in-repo LLM ONNX export pipeline (`llm_export.py`
and `modelopt.onnx.llm_export_utils` package) and updates the
`examples/torch_onnx/README.md` to direct users to
[TensorRT-Edge-LLM](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-Edge-LLM), which
provides a more complete and actively maintained pipeline for quantizing
LLMs/VLMs with ModelOpt and exporting them to optimized ONNX for edge
deployment (Jetson, DRIVE).

**Removed:**
- `examples/torch_onnx/llm_export.py` — standalone LLM export script
- `modelopt/onnx/llm_export_utils/` — supporting package
(`export_utils.py`, `quantization_utils.py`, `surgeon_utils.py`)
- `tests/examples/torch_onnx/test_llm_export.py` — associated tests

**Updated:**
- `examples/torch_onnx/README.md` — rewrote the LLM section with
TensorRT-Edge-LLM installation, CLI tools, usage examples (LLM, VLM,
EAGLE speculative decoding), supported model matrix, quantization
methods, and troubleshooting guidance

### Usage

Users should now use TensorRT-Edge-LLM CLI tools instead of the removed
`llm_export.py`:

```bash
# Quantize a model with ModelOpt
tensorrt-edgellm-quantize-llm \
    --model_dir Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct \
    --quantization fp8 \
    --output_dir quantized/qwen2.5-3b-fp8

# Export to ONNX
tensorrt-edgellm-export-llm \
    --model_dir quantized/qwen2.5-3b-fp8 \
    --output_dir onnx_models/qwen2.5-3b
```

### Testing

- No functional code changes — this is a removal of deprecated code and
documentation update.
- Vision model quantization/export (`torch_quant_to_onnx.py`) and mixed
precision examples are unaffected.

assistant messages
- **No intermediate JSONL** for HuggingFace datasets — load directly
from Arrow cache via `_iter_hf_as_json` + `process_hf_split`
- **Return output prefixes** (`list[str]`) from the Python API so
callers can build `--data_paths` without hardcoding paths; also printed
at end of run
- **Gzip input support** — `.jsonl.gz` files accepted directly;
`--input_dir` globs both `*.jsonl` and `*.jsonl.gz`
- **`--strip_newlines`** flag (opt-in) to replace newlines with spaces
in plain-text values; default preserves newlines (no breaking change for
code/structured-text datasets)
- **`--hf_streaming`** flag for very large datasets — only consumed rows
are downloaded; automatically falls back to non-streaming (with a
warning) if `--hf_max_samples_per_split` is not set, since streaming
without a cap is slower than cached non-streaming
- **Auto-shuffle** when `--hf_max_samples_per_split` is set — reservoir
sampling (buffer=10,000, seed=42) applied before capping to avoid biased
prefix sampling
- Remove `_document` suffix from output filenames (`_text.bin` instead
of `_text_document.bin`)
- Fix duplicate BOS token for chat-template data
(`add_special_tokens=False`)
- Fix `TypeError` in `process_hf_split` (`sum(list)` not `sum(int)`)
- Suppress duplicate prints across pool workers via
`_is_main_or_first_worker()`
- Raise `KeyError` instead of warning for missing JSON keys
- Default `hf_split=None` (all splits) instead of `"train"`

### Usage

```python
from modelopt.torch.utils.plugins.megatron_preprocess_data import megatron_preprocess_data

# Nemotron v3 with reasoning content preserved inline as <think>...</think>
prefixes = megatron_preprocess_data(
    hf_dataset="nvidia/Nemotron-Post-Training-Dataset-v3",
    json_keys=["messages"],
    tokenizer_name_or_path="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",
    output_dir="tokenized/",
    workers=32,
    reasoning_content="inline",
)
# prefixes == ["tokenized/nvidia--Nemotron-Post-Training-Dataset-v3_..._messages"]
data_paths = [x for p in prefixes for x in ("1.0", p)]

# Large pretraining dataset — stream + cap (auto-shuffled before capping)
prefixes = megatron_preprocess_data(
    hf_dataset="nvidia/Nemotron-CC-v2.1",
    hf_name="High-Quality",
    hf_max_samples_per_split=5_000_000,
    hf_streaming=True,
    json_keys=["text"],
    tokenizer_name_or_path="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",
    output_dir="tokenized/",
    workers=32,
    append_eod=True,
    strip_newlines=True,
)
```

### Testing

- New unit tests
- Tested tokenization on Nemotron Pretraining and Post-training v3
datasets

Keval Morabia 04cd596d79 Add experimental support for transformers>=5.0 + min torch 2.8 (#975)
### What does this PR do?

- Add experimental support for transformers >=5.0 and remove deprecated
usages:
https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/MIGRATION_GUIDE_V5.md
- ⚠️ For accelerate examples that used `--warmup-ratio: float`
(deprecated in 5.x), we now change it to `--warmup-steps: float | int`
which works as ratio if float but only for 5.x. For 4.x, it will error
out if float and prompt user to change back to `--warmup-ratio` or pass
an int absolute step count.
- ⚠️ Unified Hugging Face checkpoint export for quantized checkpoints
may not work for some models with transformers>=5.0 yet as it requires a
lot of fixes (e.g. change in how MoE experts are organized)
- ~Add Workaround for TRT-LLM's import of deprecated transformers
functions so trt-llm based gpu unit tests work fine. Still deployment
for models needs proper fixes directly in TRT-LLM hence llm/vlm ptq
example tests still run with transformers 4.57~
- Everything except PTQ and Export (mainly MoE) should work fine with
transformers>=5.0
- Bump min torch to 2.8 and enable 2.11 cicd testing
- NOTE: Upcoming Nemo:26.04 container comes with transformers 5.3

### Testing
<!-- Mention how have you tested your change if applicable. -->

- [x] CI/CD tests passing
- [x] Manually tested unit tests, gpu tests with transformers 4.56 and
5.4
- [x] Manually tested example tests (except trt-llm container tests)
with transformers 4.56 and 5.4
- [x] 2-gpu nightly CICD tests manually triggered and passing: [gpu
tests](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/actions/runs/23867257540),

Keval MorabiaandClaude Sonnet 4.6 8428f0610a fix: megatron export correctness for TP>1 GQA, single-file MTP, and Hub remote code (#1209)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix

Three correctness fixes for the Megatron Core GPT export pipeline:

**1. `_qkv_slicing`: reshape failure with TP>1 on GQA models**

When tensor parallelism is enabled, the `linear_qkv` weight tensor
arriving in `_qkv_slicing` is already TP-sharded, so `weight.shape[0]`
equals `per_rank_qkv_dim * head_size`, not `qkv_total_dim * head_size`.
All five reshape/`arange` operations were using the global
`qkv_total_dim`, causing a runtime shape mismatch for any GQA model with
TP > 1. The fix derives `per_rank_qkv_dim` and `num_query_groups_local`
from the actual tensor shape, making the logic correct for any TP degree
(a no-op for TP=1).

**2. `_get_mtp_state_dict`: `EntryNotFoundError` for non-sharded
models**

`hf_hub_download("model.safetensors.index.json")` raises
`EntryNotFoundError` for small models that ship a single
`model.safetensors` rather than a sharded index. The function now
catches this and falls back to downloading/reading `model.safetensors`
directly, scanning its keys with `safe_open`. The same two-path logic
applies to local directories.

**3. `copy_remote_code`: `ValueError` for Hub model IDs**

`copy_remote_code` only accepted local directory paths and raised
`ValueError` for HuggingFace Hub model IDs (e.g.
`"meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B"`). The function now falls back to
`list_repo_files` + `hf_hub_download` to fetch and copy top-level `.py`
files (custom modeling code) when the path is not a local directory.

### Usage

```python
# TP>1 GQA export now works (previously raised RuntimeError on reshape)
export_mcore_gpt_to_hf(gqa_model, "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B", export_dir="./out", dtype=torch.bfloat16)

# Models with a single model.safetensors now have their MTP weights exported
export_mcore_gpt_to_hf(model, "./small_model_dir", export_dir="./out", dtype=torch.bfloat16)

# Hub model IDs no longer raise ValueError in copy_remote_code
export_mcore_gpt_to_hf(model, "org/custom-model-with-remote-code", export_dir="./out", dtype=torch.bfloat16)
```

### Testing

New tests added in `tests/gpu_megatron/torch/export/`:

- `test_unified_export_megatron.py::test_qkv_slicing_gqa_tp2` —
FP8-quantized GQA model export with TP=2 (`num_query_groups=2 <
num_attention_heads=8`), exercises both the weight reshape and
per-channel weight-scale reshape paths.
-
`test_unified_export_megatron.py::test_mtp_state_dict_single_safetensors`
— unit test verifying MTP weights are collected from a single
`model.safetensors` file.
- `test_unified_export_megatron.py::test_mtp_state_dict_index_file` —
unit test verifying MTP weights are collected from a sharded checkpoint.
- `test_unified_export_megatron.py::test_mtp_state_dict_no_mtp_keys` —
edge case: no MTP keys → empty dict, no side effects.
- `test_hf_checkpoint_utils.py` — four tests covering `copy_remote_code`
for local directories and Hub model IDs (with and without `.py` files).

Chenhan D. Yu 0246041b01 feat(speculative): add vLLM data synthesis pipeline and Nemotron dataset preparation scripts (#1176)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: New feature, new example, bug fix

Adds a vLLM-based synthetic data generation pipeline for speculative
decoding draft model training, along with dataset preparation scripts
for NVIDIA's Nemotron Post-Training dataset collections.

**Data synthesis pipeline** (`tools/launcher/common/vllm/query.sh` +
`common/query.py`):
- Launch a vLLM server and run multi-turn inference to synthesize
training data from input conversation skeletons
- Fork-safe OpenAI client: reinitializes HTTP connection pool after
`datasets.map()` forks worker processes, preventing 400 errors from
corrupted connections
- Clear Docker `ENTRYPOINT` so vLLM containers (which default to `vllm
serve`) work correctly under NeMo Run's executor
- `--max-tokens` argument to bound generation length
- Local file loading support (`--data /path/to/file.jsonl`)
- Re-raise connection errors so `datasets.map()` halts the shard instead
of silently producing empty rows
- Map `developer` role to `system` (OpenAI format compatibility)

**Multi-turn reasoning trace handling** (`common/query.py`):
- Strip `<think>...</think>` blocks from intermediate assistant turns
before re-feeding to the model; preserve the full trace only on the
final turn

**Nemotron dataset preparation** (`examples/dataset/`):
- `make_nemotron_ptv2_dataset.py` — prepares
[nvidia/Nemotron-Post-Training-Dataset-v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/Nemotron-Post-Training-Dataset-v2)
(~3.3M rows generate, ~1.9M rows train)
- `make_nemotron_ptv3_dataset.py` — prepares the [Nemotron PTv3
collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/nemotron-post-training-v3)
of 16 datasets (~3.4M rows generate, ~3.9M rows train)
- Both support `generate` mode (strips assistant turns for synthesis
input) and `train` mode (normalizes to clean OpenAI format for SFT)
- `conversation_utils.py` — shared utilities: `strip_assistant_turns`,
`normalize_messages`, `make_augment_fn`, `AugmentationSpec`
- `augmentations.yaml` — 12 language-redirect variants + style/format
hints, cycled across dataset rows
- Scripts live in `examples/dataset/` (not under
`speculative_decoding/`) to signal reusability beyond speculative
decoding

**Bug fixes**:
- `strip_assistant_turns()`: return `{"messages": []}` when no user
turns remain (system-only rows were previously passed through instead of
being filtered)
- `concatenate_datasets()`: guard against empty parts list
- SSH tunnel user precedence: explicit `user` arg now correctly
overrides `slurm_config.user`

### Usage

```bash
# Prepare PTv3 input conversations for synthesis (~3.4M rows):
python examples/dataset/make_nemotron_ptv3_dataset.py --output-dir /tmp/ptv3_gen

# Launch vLLM server + synthesize responses:
bash tools/launcher/common/vllm/query.sh \
    --model /path/to/model \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    -- \
    --data /tmp/ptv3_gen/default.jsonl \
    --save /tmp/ptv3_responses \
    --num-shards 10 --num-proc 4 --max-tokens 4096

# Prepare PTv2 for direct SFT training (~1.9M rows):
python examples/dataset/make_nemotron_ptv2_dataset.py --mode train --output-dir /tmp/ptv2_train
```

### Testing

Tested end-to-end on an NVIDIA GB10 node (119 GiB GPU memory) with
`vllm/vllm-openai:qwen3_5-cu130` container and `Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B`:
- vLLM server starts correctly with cleared Docker entrypoint
- `datasets.map(num_proc=4)` runs without connection errors (fork-safe
client)
- Multi-turn synthesis produces correct assistant responses with
thinking traces handled

h-guo18 82d96a635f [Speculative Decoding] Refactor EAGLE3 training to YAML-based config and recipe system (#1134)
## What does this PR do?

Refactors EAGLE3 training to use a single base YAML config with
OmegaConf dotlist overrides.

**Type of change:** Refactor

## Changes

- Single base config
`modelopt_recipes/speculative_decoding/_base_eagle3.yaml` for all EAGLE3
training; removed per-model child YAMLs.
- `launch_train.sh` accepts `--config <yaml>` plus dotlist overrides
(e.g. `model.model_name_or_path=xxx`).
- Removed `__base__` YAML inheritance logic from `main.py`.
- `dp_shard_size` default changed from `0` sentinel to `None` for
clarity.
- Removed `eagle_config.json` and `fsdp_config.json`; architecture
config is now nested under `eagle.eagle_architecture_config` in YAML.
- `train_eagle3_and_export.sh` now uses base YAML + dotlist instead of
generating a temporary YAML.
- Updated README and tests accordingly.

## Usage

```bash
# Online training
./launch_train.sh \
    --config ../../modelopt_recipes/speculative_decoding/_base_eagle3.yaml \
    model.model_name_or_path=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B \
    data.data_path=input_conversations/train.jsonl \
    training.output_dir=ckpts/llama-3.2-1b-online

# Offline training
./launch_train.sh \
    --config ../../modelopt_recipes/speculative_decoding/_base_eagle3.yaml \
    model.model_name_or_path=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B \
    data.offline_data_path=$HIDDEN_STATES_DIR \
    training.output_dir=ckpts/llama-3.2-1b-offline

Gwena Cunha bdc04f174d [6056809] Fix TRT dependency in ModelOpt ONNX quantization (#1189)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix

Regression bug introduced by the Autotune integration into ModelOpt ONNX
quantization (https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/pull/951),
making ModelOpt dependent on TensorRT in all scenarios. This PR fixes
this issue by requiring TensorRT only when `--autotune` is enabled.

### Usage

```python
$ python -m modelopt.onnx.quantization --onnx_path=${MODEL_NAME}.onnx
```

### Testing
See bug 6056809.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Autotune dependency failures now surface as clearer runtime errors
instead of only logging warnings.

* **Chores**
* Centralized autotune presets and numeric defaults into a shared
configuration.
* Core autotune components are conditionally exposed so initialization
succeeds when optional acceleration libraries are absent.
  * Deferred autotune imports to runtime to improve failure handling.

* **Tests**
* Added a test ensuring the quantization CLI/parser initializes
correctly without optional acceleration libraries.

Jenny ChenandClaude Opus 4.6 4255bc6a0c Fix MoE quantization tests and add sync_expert_weight_amax option (#1158)
Fix MOE quantization tests to ensure QuantSequentialMLP and
QuantTEGroupedMLP produce identical outputs when SequentialMLP has
weight & input quantizer sync both enabled.

By default SequentialMLP does not sync weight scales (but does sync
input quantizer scales) so the outputs of QuantSequentialMLP and
QuantTEGroupedMLP are not the same. However when weight scales are
synced the amax values and outputs of both modules should be identical


### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix

- Add sync_expert_weight_amax flag to MaxCalibConfig to optionally sync
weight quantizer amax across SequentialMLP experts (matches
TEGroupedMLP)
- Update layer_sync_moe_local_experts_amax to accept sync_weight_amax
param


## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added a calibration option (default: off) to optionally synchronize
weight-quantizer amax values across local experts in MoE models,
aligning sequential-expert calibration with grouped-expert behavior.

* **Documentation**
* Calibration and layer synchronization docs updated to describe the new
option and its semantics.

* **Tests**
* Updated and expanded quantization tests to cover grouped vs sequential
MoE calibration, the new expert-weight synchronization option, and
adjusted parametrizations and skip logic.

Shengliang Xu 1cceb950d6 [OMNIML-3689] PTQ quant_cfg semantic correction. Design in doc _quant_cfg.rst (#1094)
### What does this PR do?

#### Summary

Redesigns the `quant_cfg` configuration format in ModelOpt's PyTorch
quantization stack, replacing the previous dict-based format with an
**ordered list of typed `QuantizerCfgEntry` dicts**.

##### Motivation

The old `quant_cfg` dict had several pain points:
- **Ambiguous precedence**: no explicit way to reason about which entry
wins when multiple keys match a quantizer
- **Mixed key namespaces**: wildcard paths and PyTorch class names lived
in the same dict level, requiring ad-hoc dispatch
- **Magic `"default"` key**: an implicit, undocumented catch-all that
was easy to misuse
- **Poor composability**: merging two configs required dict updates that
silently discarded keys
- **No YAML round-trip fidelity**: the nested structure couldn't be
expressed cleanly in YAML

##### New format

`quant_cfg` is now an ordered list of `QuantizerCfgEntry` TypedDicts.
Each entry has:
- `quantizer_name` *(required)*: `fnmatch` wildcard matched against
quantizer module names
- `cfg` *(optional)*: dict (or list of dicts) of
`QuantizerAttributeConfig` fields
- `enable` *(optional)*: toggles quantizer on/off independently of `cfg`
- `parent_class` *(optional)*: restricts match to quantizers whose
parent module is of the given PyTorch class (e.g. `"nn.BatchNorm2d"`)

Entries are applied in list order; later entries override earlier ones.
The canonical pattern is deny-all first (`_base_disable_all`), then
selectively re-enable and configure, then apply standard exclusions
(`_default_disabled_quantizer_cfg`).

##### Changes

**Core library (`modelopt/torch/quantization/`)**

- **`config.py`**:
- Added `QuantizerCfgEntry` TypedDict (line 163) and
`find_quant_cfg_entry_by_path()` helper for exact-match lookup of
entries by path.
- Added `normalize_quant_cfg_list()` (line 1539) that converts legacy
formats (flat dict, single-key dicts, `nn.*`-scoped dicts, `"default"`
key) to canonical `QuantizerCfgEntry` lists. After normalization every
entry is guaranteed to have explicit `quantizer_name`, `enable`, and
`cfg` keys.
- Converted `_default_disabled_quantizer_cfg` and
`_mamba_moe_disabled_quantizer_cfg` from dicts to lists of
`QuantizerCfgEntry`.
- Added `_base_disable_all` (line 205): canonical deny-all entry
(`[{"quantizer_name": "*", "enable": False}]`).
- Converted all ~30 built-in config constants (`INT8_DEFAULT_CFG`,
`FP8_DEFAULT_CFG`, `NVFP4_DEFAULT_CFG`, etc.) to list format using
`*_base_disable_all` and `*_default_disabled_quantizer_cfg` unpacking.
- KV-cache configs (`FP8_KV_CFG`, `NVFP4_KV_CFG`, etc.) are now minimal
lists designed to be concatenated with a primary config — they
intentionally omit `_base_disable_all` and `"algorithm"`.
- Added two `QuantizeConfig` Pydantic field validators: a
`mode="before"` validator that calls `normalize_quant_cfg_list()`, and a
`mode="after"` validator that validates `cfg` dicts against
`QuantizerAttributeConfig`.
- Updated `need_calibration()` to iterate the normalized list instead of
the old dict.
- Changed `QuantizeQuantCfgType` alias from `dict[str | Callable, ...]`
to `list[QuantizerCfgEntry]`.

- **`conversion.py`**:
- Rewrote `set_quantizer_by_cfg()` (line 217) to iterate the list
directly. Each entry's `parent_class` is resolved via
`QuantModuleRegistry[parent_class_name]` (the existing `_DMRegistryCls`
registry).
- Added `set_quantizer_attributes_full()` (line 314): full replacement
of quantizer attributes from a `QuantizerAttributeConfig`. Unspecified
fields revert to defaults, enforcing entry atomicity. Can also upgrade
`TensorQuantizer` → `SequentialQuantizer` or downgrade the reverse.
- Added `set_quantizer_attributes_partial()` (line 384): merges a
partial `dict` of attributes into existing quantizer state. Does NOT
change quantizer structure. Used for enable-only entries.
- Added `set_quantizer_by_cfg_context()` context manager (line 447) that
temporarily applies a `quant_cfg` list and restores original quantizer
state on exit.
- Deprecated `set_quantizer_attribute()` (line 525) with a
`DeprecationWarning` pointing to the new functions.

- **`tensor_quantizer.py`**:
- `TensorQuantizer.set_from_attribute_config()`: narrowed type hint from
`dict` to `dict[str, Any]`.
- Added `_axis_setter` and `_block_sizes_setter` custom setters so that
`axis` and `block_sizes` changes properly propagate to the calibrator
and maintain mutual exclusivity.
- `SequentialQuantizer.set_from_attribute_config()`: narrowed signature
to `list[QuantizerAttributeConfig] | list[dict[str, Any]]` (removed the
old union with single values).

- **`algorithms.py`**:
- Updated `_match_quantizer_cfg()` to iterate the list and return
`(matched_cfg, matched_enable)` tuple with last-match-wins.
- Updated `_cfg_to_dict()`, `estimate_quant_compression()`, and
`QuantRecipe` to work with the list-based format.
- Updated `get_auto_quantize_config()` to emit list-format `quant_cfg`.

- **`model_quant.py`**: `disable_quantizer()` / `enable_quantizer()` now
call `set_quantizer_attributes_partial()` directly instead of the
deprecated `set_quantizer_attribute()`. Updated docstrings and code
examples to show the list format.

- **`utils/core_utils.py`**: `disable_lora_quantizers_in_config()` and
`update_quant_cfg_with_kv_cache_quant()` updated to append
`QuantizerCfgEntry` dicts to the list.

- **Other**: minor updates to `backends/fp8_per_tensor_gemm.py`,
`backends/nvfp4_gemm.py`, `compress.py`, `model_calib.py`,
`export/unified_export_hf.py`, and
`sparsity/attention_sparsity/conversion.py` to use the list format.

- **`onnx/llm_export_utils/quantization_utils.py`**: Updated
quantization config construction to use list format.

**YAML recipes (`modelopt_recipes/`)**

- Converted all 5 general PTQ recipes to the new list format:
  - `general/ptq/fp8_default-fp8_kv.yml`
  - `general/ptq/nvfp4_default-fp8_kv.yml`
  - `general/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only-fp8_kv.yml`
  - `general/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only-fp8_kv.yml`
  - `general/ptq/nvfp4_omlp_only-fp8_kv.yml`
- Converted model-specific recipe:
`models/Step3.5-Flash/nvfp4-mlp-only.yaml`

**Documentation (`docs/`)**

- New guide: `docs/source/guides/_quant_cfg.rst` — comprehensive
reference covering entry format, ordering semantics, entry atomicity,
`enable` vs `cfg` independence, `parent_class` filtering, and common
patterns (deny-all-then-enable, customizing a built-in config, building
from scratch).
- Updated `_pytorch_quantization.rst` code examples to show the list
format with `copy.deepcopy` and `.append()`.
- Added `_quant_cfg.rst` to the quantization guide table of contents.

**Examples**

- Updated all quantization examples to use the list format:
`deepseek/ptq.py`, `diffusers/quantization/config.py`,
`llm_ptq/hf_ptq.py`, `llm_qat/main.py`, `vllm_serve/vllm_ptq_utils.py`,
`llm_autodeploy/run_auto_quantize.py`, `llm_eval/quantization_utils.py`,
`llm_ptq/example_utils.py`,
`windows/torch_onnx/diffusers/qad_example/sample_example_qad_diffusers.py`,
and 2 notebooks.

**Tests**

- New test file:
`tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_config_validation.py` — unit tests
for `need_calibration()`, `normalize_quant_cfg_list()` (new format,
legacy format conversions, error cases),
`find_quant_cfg_entry_by_path()`, `_match_quantizer_cfg()`, and
`QuantizeConfig` Pydantic validators.
- Extended `tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_quantize_cpu.py` with
tests for `set_quantizer_attributes_full()` (atomicity, parent_class
filtering, SequentialQuantizer creation), list ordering, enable-only
entry behavior, and end-to-end legacy dict format.
- Updated 20+ existing test files across `tests/unit/`, `tests/gpu/`,
`tests/gpu_megatron/`, and `tests/_test_utils/` to use the list format.

##### Backward compatibility

`normalize_quant_cfg_list()` is called automatically by the
`QuantizeConfig` Pydantic `mode="before"` validator, so existing code
passing the old dict-based format (flat dict like `{"*weight_quantizer":
{"num_bits": 8}}`, single-key dict lists, or `nn.*`-scoped dicts with
`parent_class` semantics) continues to work without modification. The
legacy `"default"` key is converted to `quantizer_name: "*"`.

`set_quantizer_attribute()` is preserved as a deprecated wrapper around
`set_quantizer_attributes_partial()`.

#### Test coverage

- **Unit tests**: new `test_config_validation.py` with tests for
normalization, validation, path lookup, and cfg matching. Extended
`test_quantize_cpu.py` with tests for full/partial attribute setting,
ordering, atomicity, and legacy backward compatibility.
- **System testing**:

```
python examples/llm_ptq/hf_ptq.py \
      --model Qwen/Qwen3-8B  \
      --recipe general/ptq/fp8_default-fp8_kv \

kaix-nv df80a0f7b2 [5/n] Add VSA for Video Diffusion (#1053)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: ? <!-- Use one of the following: Bug fix, new feature,
new example, new tests, documentation. -->

<!-- Details about the change. -->
New feature. Adds Video Sparse Attention (VSA) as a new sparse attention
method in ModelOpt. VSA implements a two-branch architecture
(compression + sparse) using 3D block tiling for video diffusion model.

VSA integrates with HuggingFace models by registering as
attn_implementation="modelopt_vsa" in HF's ALL_ATTENTION_FUNCTIONS,
which is the same pattern used by the existing Triton FA backend. After
`sparsify()`, HF dispatches Q, K, V directly to the VSA kernel with no
monkey-patching needed.

### Usage

```python
# Load any HuggingFace model
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B")

# Define VSA config
vsa_config = {
  "sparse_cfg": {
      "*attn*": {
          "method": "vsa",
          "block_size_3d": (4, 4, 4),   # 3D tile dimensions (T, H, W)
          "top_k_ratio": 0.5,            # keep top 50% of blocks
          "video_shape": (8, 16, 16),    # video dims after patchification
          "enable": True,
      },
      "default": {"enable": False},
  },
}

# Apply — registers modelopt_vsa with HF automatically
model = mtsa.sparsify(model, vsa_config)
```

Rohan Joshi d397caea5a Remove --skip-softmax option from hf_sa (only allow calibration option) (#1123)
### What does this PR do?

The `hf_sa.py` script applies an attention sparsity method to a model
and exports a "sparsified" checkpoint. The SKIP_SOFTMAX_DEFAULT sparse
attention config doesn't run calibration or make any change to the
checkpoint. If we use this method with `hf_sa.py` the exported
checkpoint is identical to the original checkpoint. This could cause
confusion so it's best to remove the option altogether. This PR removes
the option and switches to SKIP_SOFTMAX_CALIB as the default config.


<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Chores**
* Updated sparse-attention options: removed the legacy "skip_softmax"
choice and set the default to "skip_softmax_calib", so the old
configuration path is no longer available.
* **Tests**
* Aligned tests with the new default sparse-attention setting to reflect
the calibration-enabled choice.

Ajinkya Rasane 7c1f33c2f8 [BugFix][5271237][ONNX] Add Q/DQ placement for Conv->LayerNorm patterns (#1117)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: BugFix

- ModelOpt was not placing Q/DQ nodes between Conv and
LayerNormalization, causing TensorRT to select slower i8f16 kernels
instead of faster i8i8 kernels for Conv layers whose output feeds into
LayerNorm (e.g., ConvNext models).

### Changes:
  - Register LayerNormalization in ORT's QDQ registry (ort_utils.py)
- Add find_conv_to_layernorm_nodes() to detect Conv→(copy ops)→LayerNorm
patterns (graph_utils.py)
- Add detected LayerNorm nodes to quantizable nodes list so Q/DQ pairs
are inserted on Conv output (int8.py)

### Usage

```python
  # No API change — existing quantize() call now automatically handles Conv->LayerNorm patterns
  import modelopt.onnx.quantization as moq

  moq.quantize("convnext.onnx", quantize_mode="int8")
  # Output model will now have: Conv -> Transpose -> Q -> DQ -> LayerNorm
````

### Testing

- Added unit test test_conv_layernorm_quantization with a ConvNext-like
test model (Conv→Transpose→LayerNorm→Transpose→Conv)

h-guo18 7f5fd65003 [Feat]FakeBaseModel for offline eagle; Kimi-K2.5 fixes; (#1052)
### What does this PR do?

Adds `FakeBaseModel` for offline EAGLE training and several Kimi-K2.5
compatibility fixes.

- **New**: `FakeBaseModel` — lightweight model that loads only `lm_head`
and `embed_tokens` from a local checkpoint, avoiding full model weight
loading during offline training. Configured via `FakeBaseArguments` and
integrated into `load_vlm_or_llm`.
- **Fix**: `_find_base_model_parts` — support Kimi-K2.5 VLM layout
(`language_model.model` path)
- **Fix**: offline mode lm_head access and CompressedTensors ignore path
- **Fix**: Kimi-K2.5 decoder `past_key_value`/`past_key_values` argument
mismatch
- **Fix**: `rglob` for `.pt` discovery in nested offline data dirs;
single-node GPU count respects `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`

Type of change: Bug fix, new feature

### Testing
Tested offline EAGLE training for Kimi-K2.5 end-to-end.

kaix-nv b1f9f0121b [2/n] Add sparse softmax to the Triton flash attention kernel (#1078)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: ? <!-- Use one of the following: Bug fix, new feature,
new example, new tests, documentation. -->

Type of change: New feature

Add N:M structured sparsity support to the Triton flash attention kernel
(`modelopt/torch/kernels/triton_fa.py`). For every M consecutive key
positions in the attention score tile, keeps the top-N values and sets
the rest to -inf before softmax. This is applied during prefill only.

**Supported patterns:** Any N:M where M=4 (N=1,2,3) or M=8 (N=1..4).

- Sink tokens and dense window blocks for preserving local attention and
attention sinks

 **Performance (TFLOPS at seq_len=16384, RTX 6000):**
  | Pattern | TFLOPS | % of Dense |
  |---------|--------|------------|
  | Dense | 89.3 | 100% |
  | 2:4 (M=4) | 69.5 | 78% |
  | 4:8 (M=8) | 57.3 | 64% |

### Usage

```python
# Add a code snippet demonstrating how to use this
from modelopt.torch.kernels import attention

# 2:4 sparsity (keep top 2 of every 4 K positions)
out = attention(q, k, v, b_start_loc, b_seq_len, max_len,
                sparsity_n=2, sparsity_m=4)

# 4:8 sparsity with sink tokens and dense window
out = attention(q, k, v, b_start_loc, b_seq_len, max_len,
                sparsity_n=4, sparsity_m=8,
                num_sink_tokens=4, dense_window_blocks=2)

# Dense (default, zero overhead)
out = attention(q, k, v, b_start_loc, b_seq_len, max_len)

# Via mtsa.sparsify() on HuggingFace models
import modelopt.torch.sparsity.attention_sparsity as mtsa
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B",
                                              torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
                                              device_map="cuda")

Daniel KorzekwaandKeval Morabia 714dbd2c0d Activation hooks redesign (reuse hooks component across both minitron and puzzletron) (#1022)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Redesign of existing feature

This PR introduces a shared activation hooks infrastructure for minitron
and puzzletron. The activation hooks framework provides a reusable
component for collecting and analyzing activations during forward
passes, which is used by both minitron pruning and puzzletron
algorithms.


Note! Minitron megatron.py/mcore_minitron.py:ImportanceEstimatorRegistry
code does not use this component yet - will be refactored in a separate
MR.

**Key changes:**
- Added `modelopt/torch/prune/importance_hooks` module with base hooks
framework:
- `base_hooks.py`: Core hook infrastructure for registering and managing
forward hooks
- `base_hooks_analysis.py`: Analysis utilities for processing collected
activations
  - `megatron_hooks.py`: Megatron-specific hook implementations
  - `compare_module_outputs.py`: Utilities for comparing module outputs

- Added unit tests in `tests/gpu/torch/prune/importance_hooks`:
  - `test_base_hooks.py`: Tests for base hooks functionality
- `test_base_hooks_analysis.py`: Tests for activation analysis utilities
- Updated `test_mcore_gpt_minitron_pruning.py` to validate activation
collection
- Updated test utilities for distributed testing support

### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"

- Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ Yes - This is a new module that
doesn't affect existing functionality
- If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP
dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: ✅ No
- Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ Yes - Added comprehensive
tests for the activation hooks infrastructure
- Did you update
[Changelog](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?:
✅ N/A - This is infrastructure code that will be used by subsequent PRs

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Robust JSON utilities for complex objects.
  * Flushed-print helper for synchronized output.
* Activation-based importance estimation framework with multiple hook
implementations, Megatron plugin support, and layer-output comparison
tools.
  * Project-root test fixture for test suites.

* **Tests**
* Many new end-to-end tests validating hooks, evaluation metrics, and
multi-layer output comparisons.
* Improved pruning tests with deterministic initialization and
additional statistical assertions.

* **Chores**
* Tests: mirror rank/size into environment for test init and disable
external telemetry.

        self.data_list = [{"input": input_data.numpy()}]
        self.iter = iter(self.data_list)

    def get_next(self):
        return next(self.iter, None)

    def get_first(self):
        return self.data_list[0]

    def rewind(self):
        self.iter = iter(self.data_list)

calibration_reader = ExampleCalibrationDataReader(input_tensor)
moq.quantize(
    onnx_path,

Keval Morabia f22f4f5522 Add Full TE Spec support for Megatron Pruning DynamicModules + MoE bug fixes (#1024)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Improvement + Bug Fix <!-- Use one of the following: Bug
fix, new feature, new example, new tests, documentation. -->

Quantization recently added support for Full TE spec. Adding same for
Pruning as well so we can retire ModelOpt spec and just use standard TE
spec.
**NOTE: We still dont support TEGroupedGemm and instead use TE
SequentialMLP for now (but this can be configured in standard TE Spec so
we dont need modelopt spec)**

Note that this does not affect the usage of the pruning workflow but
makes pruning slightly faster and may result in slightly different
pruned model because of different kernel and numerics.

[Bug fix]: Previously NAS-based pruning for MoE models would hang when
evaluating MMLU for pruned candidate models because of a bug. Fixed in
this PR as well

[Bug fix]: Previously hidden size importance hooks were not applied to
pre_mlp_layernorm for MoE layers. Fixed in this PR as well resulting in
a significant improvement in MMLU for Qwen3-30B-A3B


### Testing
<!-- Mention how have you tested your change if applicable. -->

- [x] Unit tests updated and passing
- [x] Compare pruning results for Qwen3-8B -> 6B. ⚠️ Difference in MMLU
scores resulting in a different best picked model. But scores more or
less in similar range - difference may be because of different kernel
for TE layers
```

Chenjie Luo 1dc890d971 Remove _moe_count_expert_calib_tokens flag; tie token counting to moe_calib_experts_ratio (#1062)
Cherry-pick for 0.43.0

## Summary

- **Remove `moe_count_expert_calib_tokens`** config field and the
`_moe_count_expert_calib_tokens` internal flag. Token counting is now
implicitly enabled when `moe_calib_experts_ratio` is set, removing a
redundant knob.
- **Change `--moe_calib_experts_ratio` default to `None`** in
`hf_ptq.py` (was `1.0`). Previously all experts were force-calibrated by
default; now the feature is opt-in and non-MoE models are unaffected
without any flag.
- **Disable `layer_sync_moe_local_experts_amax`** when
`moe_calib_experts_ratio` is set, since each expert is calibrated
independently with sufficient token coverage in that mode.
- **Simplify `_QuantSparseMoe.forward`**: remove redundant truthy checks
on `_moe_calib_experts_ratio` inside the branch that already assumes it
is set.

## Changed files

| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `modelopt/torch/quantization/config.py` | Remove
`moe_count_expert_calib_tokens` field; update `moe_calib_experts_ratio`
description to document amax sync behavior |
| `modelopt/torch/quantization/mode.py` | Remove
`moe_count_expert_calib_tokens` propagation in `wrapped_calib_func` |
| `modelopt/torch/quantization/plugins/huggingface.py` | Remove
`_moe_count_expert_calib_tokens` from `_QuantSparseMoe`; simplify
`forward`; skip `layer_sync_moe_local_experts_amax` when ratio is set |
| `examples/llm_ptq/hf_ptq.py` | Default `--moe_calib_experts_ratio` to
`None`; guard validation |
| `tests/unit/.../test_sparse_moe.py` | Update tests to use
`_moe_calib_experts_ratio` instead of removed flag |

## Test plan

- [x] Verify `hf_ptq.py` works without `--moe_calib_experts_ratio`
(non-MoE model, default `None`)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Configuration Changes**
* moe_calib_experts_ratio now defaults to None (disabled) instead of
1.0; validation only occurs when a value is provided.

* **Refactor**
* Simplified MoE calibration flow and token-counting behavior; removed a
deprecated expert-calibration configuration field.

* **Documentation**
* Changelog and docstrings updated to reflect the new default and
calibration behavior.
