Frida HouandClaude Opus 5 0688761ce9 feat(export): support multimodal and MTP models in layerwise export (#2303)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: New feature

**Layerwise export now supports multimodal and MTP models.** Both were
refused outright, and
both were refused for the same reason: `finalize()` was called from
inside
`layerwise_calibrate`, which is the wrong scope for it.

**1. Calibration does not know which model the checkpoint describes.**
It only sees the
module it was handed. A VLM calibrates its *language model*, so the
shards, the exclusions
and `config.json` all came out describing that submodel rather than the
whole VLM. Moving the
call out lets the caller root the exporter at the parent — and without
the key prefixing,
tower collection or ambient parent handle an earlier attempt needed,
because the decoder
layers are the same objects from either root.

**2. Calibration runs before things the export needs exist.** Orphaned
MTP weights are loaded
*after* calibration, by which point every shard had already been
written, so they could not
be passed at all. After the move they are an ordinary argument to
`finalize()`, with no
staging attribute stashed on the model.

### How it works

The exporter is created by whoever owns the export and **announced on
the model** that
`mtq.quantize` is given. Calibration picks it up, binds it, and drives
it per layer; the
export that follows reads it back and finishes the checkpoint:

```python
LayerwiseExporter(full_model, export_path).announce(language_model)
mtq.quantize(language_model, quant_cfg, forward_loop=loop)
...
getattr(full_model, LAYERWISE_EXPORTER_ATTR).finalize(extra_state_dict=mtp_state_dict)
```

Calibration and export are handed *different* models, so `announce()`
publishes the exporter
on each end separately: the caller announces on the model being
calibrated, and `bind()`
announces on the export root. Neither side has to know where the other
looked, and the lookup
stays an O(1) `getattr` rather than a `named_modules()` scan — worth
avoiding at roughly
1.65 µs/module, or ~500 ms on a Kimi-K3-sized model. For a non-VLM both
roots are the same
object and the second announcement is a no-op. `finalize()` clears every
attachment it
recorded, so the module graph does not retain a live exporter
afterwards.

`mtq.quantize` and `mtq.calibrate` are **unchanged** — a layerwise-only
feature does not
belong in the public quantization API. The attribute follows
`_mtp_layer_prefixes`, which
crosses the same calibration→export boundary the same way
(`hf_ptq.py:538` sets it,
`unified_export_hf.py:870` reads it back).

Construction is inert: `__init__` records only the export root and the
directory, because the
caller builds it before `mtq.quantize`, when there are no quantizers yet
to validate or read
a config from. `bind()` does that, called from calibration after
quantizer insertion and
before any layer is converted — the only window where both hold, and the
same instant the
exporter used to be constructed, so unsupported models still fail in
seconds rather than
hours. Only the calibration pass that sets `export_dir` drives the
exporter: a list-form
algorithm runs one pass per entry, and an earlier one must not convert
layers a later one
still has to calibrate.

### Usage

Nothing changes for a plain layerwise-export recipe:
`layerwise.export_dir` still drives it.
Pre-attaching an exporter is the opt-in for the two cases that need it —
a checkpoint whose
root is wider than the calibrated model, and orphaned tensors to merge
at the end.

The one behaviour change for a config-only caller is that `mtq.quantize`
now writes the layer
shards but no longer finishes the checkpoint. Both exit paths warn with
what is still owed,
and `LayerwiseConfig.export_dir`'s description has been corrected — it
previously promised "a
complete, loadable checkpoint when the last layer lands" and still
listed multimodal and MTP
as raising `NotImplementedError`.

### Testing

`tests/gpu/torch/export/test_layerwise_export.py` — **29 passed**.
Beyond the 24 inherited
from #2136, five new ones, each with a negative control confirming it
fails without its fix:

- orphaned MTP tensors reach the tail shard *and* the index
- an exporter rooted at the parent widens the checkpoint's namespace
- the config-only path announces an exporter that can be finished, and
finalize clears it
- only the pass that sets `export_dir` drives the exporter
- an exporter whose root holds a different number of layers is refused
at `bind()`

Full suites: `tests/gpu/torch/export` + `tests/gpu/torch/quantization`
**1012 passed / 55
skipped**, `tests/unit` **3318 passed / 15 skipped**, pre-commit clean.
Both suites also
report failures in `test_implicit_gemm.py` (FP4 conv kernels),
`test_triton_fa_p_qdq.py`,
`test_autocast_quantize_int8` and `test_engine_builder.py` collection;
all reproduce unchanged
on `main` and none touch the paths in this diff.

Measured against the whole-model exporter on a tiny Gemma3-VL, towers
prepared exactly as
`hf_ptq` does:

```
keys: baseline=80  layerwise=80   only-baseline=[]  only-layerwise=[]
differing values: 0
vision tower present: True     VLM namespace: True
config.json is the VLM: True   hf_quant_config match: True
exclude_modules: ['language_model.lm_head', 'vision_tower.vision_model*']   (both sides)
```

#### End-to-end through `hf_ptq.py`

Same FP8 recipe both sides; the baseline drops `layerwise.export_dir`
and is exported by
`main`, so the diff isolates this PR. Every tensor matches in key,
dtype, shape and value,
and `config.json` / `hf_quant_config.json` match too.

| Model | Covers | Keys | Differing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct | multimodal | 1254 = 1254 | 0 |
| GLM-4.7-Flash | MoE + MTP | 28119 = 28119 | 0 |

The VLM checkpoint keeps the vision tower unquantized (351
`model.visual.*` keys, no
`weight_scale` among them) while the language model is FP8. The MTP run
reports 212 orphaned
tensors; all 212 land in `model-tail.safetensors` and in the index, with
`model.layers.47*` in
`exclude_modules`.

**Not yet validated:** an accelerate-offloaded run, and a serving canary
on the exported
checkpoints.

### Refusals

`export_dir` without `enable`, and an exporting algorithm entry with no
calibration method,
are both refused before calibration starts — neither reaches the
per-layer pass, so both
would otherwise export nothing. The early gate is a heuristic on the
recipe, so `hf_ptq` also
raises a plain `RuntimeError` at export time if calibration turned out
not to have run; that
backstop, not the gate, is what makes the failure legible on paths the
recipe check cannot
predict.

`bind()` requires the layers calibration will drive and refuses a root
that discovers a
different number of them. Only the count is checked here: `export_layer`
already rejects a
reordering or a substituted module on its first call, and a length
difference is the one
mismatch it structurally cannot catch — every call would pass and
`_write_index` would then
open a shard that was never written, at the very end of the run.

Orphan tensors are merged into the tail with no collision check,
matching the whole-model path
(`unified_export_hf.py:1623`). `load_mtp_weights` returns exactly the
keys absent from
`model.state_dict()`, so a collision with an exported tensor is not
reachable through the only
producer, and a guard would only make the two export paths diverge.

### Why not reuse `export_hf_checkpoint`

It was the first idea and it is the most expensive one. Its transformers
path is whole-model
at every step — `_prepare_moe_inputs`,
`requantize_resmooth_fused_llm_layers` (which runs a
dummy forward that would fail on already-converted layers),
`_process_quantized_modules`, a
full `model.state_dict()` in host RAM, then `save_pretrained` rewriting
shards already on disk
— and it raises outright under `has_accelerate_offload`.
`save_pretrained(state_dict={})` is
not an escape either: safetensors' shared-storage check fires on MoE
even with an empty dict.

The natural consolidation target is the **streaming** exporter, which is
already most of
`finalize()`: 122 lines vs 74, sharing `decoder_owned_ids`,
`enable_weight_access_and_writeback`, `_dispatch_export_handler`,
`_reconstruct_fused_moe_linear`, `_add_mtp_exclusions`,
`_postprocess_single_tensor`,
`requires_weight_materialization` and `save_non_weight_artifacts`.
Folding them together needs
roughly four knobs: skip the whole-model prep, skip layers already
written, seed the index
with the existing shards, and inject the quant config. That is a
separate change and
deliberately not in this one.

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

- Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ —
`mtq.quantize`/`mtq.calibrate` signatures are
unchanged, and a recipe that only sets `layerwise.export_dir` behaves as
before. The one
behaviour change is that `mtq.quantize` no longer finishes the
checkpoint on its own:
callers must now call `finalize()` on the exporter, which calibration
leaves on the model.
- 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?: ❌ — pending.
- Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ — the last review's
findings are all addressed;
  needs a re-run.

### Additional Information

Follow-ups this enables: #2259 (MTP) reduces to close to nothing, and
the multimodal work in
#2218 no longer needs `export_parent`, the key prefixing, or the tower
collection.

"""This document lists the quantization formats supported by Model Optimizer and example quantization configs.
.. _quantization-formats:
Quantization Formats
==========================================
The following table lists the quantization formats supported by Model Optimizer and the corresponding quantization
config. See :ref:`Quantization Configs <example-quantization-configs>` for the
specific quantization config definitions.
Please see :doc:`choosing the right quantization formats <../../guides/_choosing_quant_methods>` to
learn more about the formats and their use-cases.
.. note::
The recommended configs given below are for LLM models. For CNN models, only INT8 quantization
is supported. Please use quantization config ``INT8_DEFAULT_CFG`` for CNN models.
================================= =======================================================
Quantization Format Model Optimizer config
================================= =======================================================
INT8 ``INT8_SMOOTHQUANT_CFG``
FP8 ``FP8_DEFAULT_CFG``
INT4 Weights only AWQ (W4A16) ``INT4_AWQ_CFG``
INT4-FP8 AWQ (W4A8) ``W4A8_AWQ_BETA_CFG``
================================= =======================================================
.. _quantization-configs:
Quantization Configs
================================
Quantization config is a dictionary with two top-level keys:
- ``"quant_cfg"``: an ordered list of :class:`QuantizerCfgEntry` dicts that specify which
quantizers to configure and how.
- ``"algorithm"``: the calibration algorithm passed to
:meth:`calibrate <modelopt.torch.quantization.model_calib.calibrate>`.
Please see :class:`QuantizeConfig` for the full config schema.
``quant_cfg`` — Entry Format
-----------------------------
Each entry in the ``quant_cfg`` list is a :class:`QuantizerCfgEntry` with the following fields:
- ``quantizer_name`` *(required)*: a wildcard string matched against quantizer module names.
Quantizer modules are instances of
:class:`TensorQuantizer <modelopt.torch.quantization.nn.modules.tensor_quantizer.TensorQuantizer>`
and have names ending with ``weight_quantizer``, ``input_quantizer``, etc.
- ``parent_class`` *(optional)*: restricts matching to quantizers whose immediate parent module is
of this PyTorch class (e.g. ``"nn.Linear"``). If omitted, all matching quantizers are targeted
regardless of their parent class.
- ``cfg`` *(optional)*: a dict of quantizer attributes as defined by
:class:`QuantizerAttributeConfig`, or a list of such dicts. When a list is given, the matched
:class:`TensorQuantizer <modelopt.torch.quantization.nn.modules.tensor_quantizer.TensorQuantizer>`
is replaced with a
:class:`SequentialQuantizer <modelopt.torch.quantization.nn.modules.tensor_quantizer.SequentialQuantizer>`
that applies each format in sequence. This is used for example in W4A8 quantization where weights
are quantized first in INT4 and then in FP8.
- ``enable`` *(optional)*: toggles matched quantizers on (``True``) or off (``False``),
independently of ``cfg``. When ``cfg`` is present and ``enable`` is absent, the quantizer is
implicitly enabled. When ``enable`` is the only field (no ``cfg``), it only flips the on/off
state — all other attributes remain unchanged.
``quant_cfg`` — Ordering and Precedence
-----------------------------------------
Entries are applied **in list order**; later entries override earlier ones for any quantizer they
match. The recommended pattern is:
1. Start with a deny-all entry ``{"quantizer_name": "*", "enable": False}`` (provided as
:data:`_base_disable_all`) to disable every quantizer by default.
2. Follow with format-specific entries that selectively enable and configure the desired quantizers.
3. Append :data:`_default_disabled_quantizer_cfg` to enforce standard exclusions (e.g. BatchNorm
layers, LM head, MoE routers).
To get the string representation of a module class for use in ``parent_class``, do:
.. code-block::
from modelopt.torch.quantization import QuantModuleRegistry
# Get the class name for nn.Conv2d
class_name = QuantModuleRegistry.get_key(nn.Conv2d)
Here is an example of a quantization config:
.. code-block::
MY_QUANT_CFG = {
"quant_cfg": [
# Deny all quantizers by default
{"quantizer_name": "*", "enable": False},
# Enable and configure weight and input quantizers
{"quantizer_name": "*weight_quantizer", "cfg": {"num_bits": 8, "axis": 0}},
{"quantizer_name": "*input_quantizer", "cfg": {"num_bits": 8, "axis": None}},
# Disable input quantizers specifically for LeakyReLU layers
{"quantizer_name": "*input_quantizer", "parent_class": "nn.LeakyReLU", "enable": False},
]
}
.. _example-quantization-configs:
Example Quantization Configurations
==========================================
These example configs can be accessed as attributes of ``modelopt.torch.quantization`` and can be given as
input to :meth:`mtq.quantize() <modelopt.torch.quantization.model_quant.quantize>`. For example:
.. code-block::
import modelopt.torch.quantization as mtq
model = mtq.quantize(model, mtq.INT8_DEFAULT_CFG, forward_loop)
You can also create your own config by following these examples.
For instance, if you want to quantize a model with int4 AWQ algorithm, but need to skip quantizing
the layer named ``lm_head``, you can create a custom config and quantize your model as following:
.. code-block::
# Create custom config
CUSTOM_INT4_AWQ_CFG = copy.deepcopy(mtq.INT4_AWQ_CFG)
CUSTOM_INT4_AWQ_CFG["quant_cfg"].append({"quantizer_name": "*lm_head*", "enable": False})
# quantize model
model = mtq.quantize(model, CUSTOM_INT4_AWQ_CFG, forward_loop)

You should set block_sizes if you want fixed number of elements to share every scale factor.
The keys are the axes for block quantization and the
values are block sizes for quantization along the respective axes. Keys must be in the
range ``[-tensor.dim(), tensor.dim())``. Values, which are the block sizes for quantization must be
positive integers or ``None``. A positive block size specifies the block size for quantization along that
axis. ``None`` means that the block size will be the maximum possible size in that dimension - this is
useful for specifying certain quantization formats such per-token dynamic quantization which has the `amax`
shared along the last dimension.
In addition, there can be special string keys ``"type"``, ``"scale_bits"`` and ``"scale_block_sizes"``.
Key ``"type"`` should map to ``"dynamic"`` or ``"static"`` where ``"dynamic"``
indicates dynamic block quantization and "static"
indicates static calibrated block quantization. By default, the type is ``"static"``.
Key ``"scale_bits"`` specify the quantization bits for the per-block quantization scale factor
(i.e a double quantization scheme).
Key ``"scale_block_sizes"`` specify the block size for double quantization.
By default per-block quantization scale is not quantized.
For example, ``block_sizes = {-1: 32}`` will quantize the last axis of the input tensor in
blocks of size 32 with static calibration, with a total of ``numel(tensor) / 32`` scale factors.
``block_sizes = {-1: 32, "type": "dynamic"}`` will perform dynamic block quantization.
``block_sizes = {-1: None, "type": "dynamic"}`` can be used to
specify per-token dynamic quantization.

In LSQ, the scale used for quantization is learnt. ModelOpt's LSQ is similar to the
original `Learned Step Size Quantization paper <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.08153>`_.
Its forward pass is ``w_q = Q_STE(w / s) * s``, where ``s`` is learnt.
Dual-LSQ learns separate pre-quantization and post-quantization scales. Its forward
pass is ``w_q = Q_STE(w / s_pre) * s_post``, where ``s_pre`` and ``s_post`` are
learnt. Dual-LSQ generally performs better than LSQ for learning NVFP4 per-block
weight scales.
Currently, only NVFP4 per-block weight-scale learning is supported. Both LSQ and
Dual-LSQ use a reparameterization that learns ``amax`` instead of scale directly,
where ``scale = amax / max_bound``.
``learnable_amax`` controls which amax parameters are learnable vs frozen:
- ``["pre", "post"]``: both learnable
- ``"post"`` or ``["post"]``: only post learnable, pre frozen
- ``"pre"`` or ``["pre"]``: only pre learnable, post frozen
- ``[]``: both frozen (static scales)
``tied_amax`` makes pre and post share a single tensor (requires both to
have the same learnable state, i.e. ``learnable_amax`` must be
``["pre", "post"]`` or ``[]``).
``quantize_pre_scale=False`` leaves the pre-quantization scale unquantized
