From 76d3f661af4acaebbf0c2f5464e6f236e356fb8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bong-water-water-bong Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 15:13:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] npu: check_q4nx_dir --against measures the q4_1 TILE ORDER, so a foreign-order dir is refused offline engine#1110's surviving hole: the repack measures the tile order (#1169/#1234) and the plan loader refuses a declared order it does not implement (#1130), but a directory that was never repacked here -- imported from a foreign converter, downloaded, copied off a board -- has no stamp and no plan, and every metadata check passes: the two orders share the chunk kind, the byte count and the tensor names. Only the weights can say which order the bytes are in. --against already decoded the first Q8 tile both ways against the source GGUF; it now does the same for q4_1 over all three orders this repo can name -- ours (npu/q4nx.cpp's), flm signed, flm unsigned -- with tools/q4nx_diff.py's own decoders imported rather than re-implemented, and refuses a container whose winner is not ours: tensor name, all three correlations, and the closest foreign reading in the message. Accepted when ours >= 0.99 and ours - best_other >= 0.5, both measured: a container packed from Q4_K_M reads +1.0000, one packed from BF16 +0.996, every foreign order |corr| < 0.05. The metadata-only path still imports no numpy and no gguf. Tests: tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py builds the case the issue describes -- one known 32x256 weight encoded as a single q4_1 tile in the engine's order and again in the foreign one, each encoder round-tripping through its own decoder first (4.17e-03) while the same bytes read as 'ours' are 1.31e-01 wrong -- then requires pass/refuse, the refusal to name the tensor, the foreign reading to be identified, and the verdict to survive a rename to another tensor. --- CMakeLists.txt | 6 + docs/npu.md | 10 ++ tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py | 188 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/check_q4nx_dir.py | 114 +++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 306 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt index 10e75af8..3436253b 100644 --- a/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/CMakeLists.txt @@ -595,6 +595,12 @@ if(Python3_Interpreter_FOUND) # plus the same bytes under the mapped name, which must be compared and refused. numpy + gguf-py, no model. add_test(NAME tile_check_no_shared_tensor COMMAND ${Python3_EXECUTABLE} ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/tile_check_no_shared_tensor_test.py) + # The offline half (engine#1110): a container whose q4_1 TILE ORDER is foreign has no metadata signature at + # all -- same chunk kind, same bytes, same names -- so the fixture encodes one known weight in the engine's + # order and in the foreign one and requires check_q4nx_dir.py --against to accept the first and refuse the + # second by name. numpy + gguf-py, no model, no device. + add_test(NAME check_q4nx_tile_order + COMMAND ${Python3_EXECUTABLE} ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py) # The other half of that gate: the plan's container.tile_order is a measurement read from the repack's # stamp, not a constant -- a plan written for a directory the repack refused would hand the loader the # one value it accepts, undoing that refusal.

My own run had printed that failure and I quoted "self-test ok" from its tail without reading its exit code -- the exact claim-before-check mistake this lane keeps writing down. Fixed, and the self-test now also covers the q4_1 selector and the sampler (pure python: a 5120-B I8 tensor is q4_1, 4736/8704 are not; spread() reaches both ends). 2. `ours >= 0.99` was a proximity cut on quantization error, and it refused the PR's own non-regression row: on a full sweep of the published FastFlowLM Qwen3-0.6B-NPU2 directory the outlier-heavy `layers.2.mlp.down_proj` reads corr +0.9890 (rel-rms 0.1477) with a margin of ~0.95 over every foreign reading -- unmistakably the engine's order -- yet the check refused it and then said "NOT in the order, best is ours", which contradicts itself. The order is now decided on the MARGIN -- ours wins and beats the runner-up by >= 0.5 -- with a 0.9 floor that only rules out "no reading matches at all". Measured: correct containers lead by >= 0.95, foreign ones by <= 0.05 (the d1d5232 container: ours +0.0477 vs flm-unsigned +0.9961). The refusal now says which of the three things happened instead of one message for all: no reading matches (wrong GGUF or an unnameable order), a foreign order it can name, or an ambiguous margin (a partly foreign container). Also, per the review's non-blocking note: samples are spread evenly across the table instead of the first N in table order, so a foreign order that varies tensor to tensor is not missed by sampling one layer. Tests: tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py grows to 14 checks. The new ones are the regression the floor caused (a correct container at corr +0.9827 must pass -- inside the band the old floor refused) and the wrong-source case (must say "no reading of these tiles matches", never claim a foreign order it cannot identify). Negative control: restoring `ours >= 0.99` makes exactly the new regression check fail and nothing else, so the test bites on this bug and not on a coincidence. --- tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py | 35 ++++++++++-- tools/check_q4nx_dir.py | 88 +++++++++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 103 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py b/tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py index 80d501b5..7d7eea93 100644 --- a/tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py +++ b/tests/check_q4nx_tile_order_test.py @@ -105,13 +105,13 @@ def encode_tile(w, order): return tile -def tiny_gguf(path, w): - """Two layer-0 weights holding the same values: q_proj and k_proj, so a tile can be renamed - between two tensors that DO have ground truth (the order must not depend on the name).""" +def tiny_gguf(path, w, k=None): + """Two layer-0 weights: q_proj = `w` and k_proj = `k` (default: the same values), so a tile can be + renamed between two tensors that DO have ground truth (the order must not depend on the name).""" from gguf import GGUFWriter wr = GGUFWriter(path, "qwen3") wr.add_tensor(NAME, w.astype(np.float32)) - wr.add_tensor("blk.0.attn_k.weight", w.astype(np.float32)) + wr.add_tensor("blk.0.attn_k.weight", (w if k is None else k).astype(np.float32)) wr.write_header_to_file() wr.write_kv_data_to_file() wr.write_tensors_to_file() @@ -184,5 +184,32 @@ def container(dir_path, tile, tensor="model.layers.0.self_attn.q_proj.weight"): "a container with no tensor in common is 'nothing was verified', not a pass", f"errors={errors} rows={rows}") + # A correct container can sit BELOW 0.99: q4_1 error is per-tensor, and a real published + # FastFlowLM directory reads corr +0.9890 on its outlier-heavy `layers.2.mlp.down_proj` with a + # margin of ~0.95 over every foreign reading.
