"""Example script for post-training quantization (PTQ) of a GPT / Mamba model using ModelOpt on a
Megatron-Bridge model (loaded from HF).

The process is as follows:
  1. Load a pretrained HuggingFace model into a Megatron-Core model via Megatron-Bridge.
  2. Apply ModelOpt quantization (fake-quant) with calibration on a few samples from a dataset.
     The quantization format is specified either by a short --quant_cfg alias or a --recipe YAML.
  3. (Optional) Compress weights to a real low-bit representation.
  4. Save the quantized model as a Megatron checkpoint (with ModelOpt state). The checkpoint can be
     reloaded for further training (QAT / distillation) or converted to a HuggingFace (unified)
     checkpoint for deployment with `export.py` (see that script for TensorRT-LLM / vLLM / SGLang).

Tensor / pipeline / expert parallelism are all supported here — the Megatron checkpoint is saved
sharded and can be re-sharded on load (e.g. `export.py` reloads it at TP=1 for the HF export).

Example usage to quantize Qwen3-8B to FP8 on 2 GPUs (Tensor Parallelism = 2):
    1024 samples from nemotron-post-training-dataset-v2 are used for calibration.

    torchrun --nproc_per_node 2 quantize.py \
        --hf_model_name_or_path Qwen/Qwen3-8B \
        --quant_cfg fp8 \
        --tp_size 2 \
        --export_megatron_path /tmp/Qwen3-8B-FP8-megatron

Equivalent run using a YAML recipe (authoritative for quant_cfg + algorithm + KV-cache config):

    torchrun --nproc_per_node 2 quantize.py \
        --hf_model_name_or_path Qwen/Qwen3-8B \
        --recipe general/ptq/fp8_default-kv_fp8 \
        --tp_size 2 \
        --export_megatron_path /tmp/Qwen3-8B-FP8-megatron

To convert the saved Megatron checkpoint to a deployable HuggingFace checkpoint, run `export.py`.

To see the full usage for advanced configurations, run:
    torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 quantize.py --help

See `README.md` in this directory for more details.
