…sed MoE Adds INT4 weight-only per-channel (W4A16) support to the Cutlass fused MoE path, which previously failed with "Unsupported weight only quantization" for any non-INT8 per-channel quantization. Changes: - Generalise the per-channel flag from use_int8_woq_per_channel to use_woq_per_channel across the Python bindings and moeOp.cpp so INT4 reaches the runner. - Extend the non-gated inter-size handling added in NVIDIA#15550 to INT4: under the dim-swapped per-channel layout the sub-byte packing sits on fc1's inter dim, so mInnerDimMultiplier must multiply the fc1 side. The previous form is equivalent at INT8 (multiplier 1) but rejects every valid INT4 shape. Applied in both runMoe and runMoeMinLantency. - Add W4A16WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod with packed weight creation, per-output-channel scales, TP-aware loaders and a 64-row alignment diagnostic. - View expert weights as torch.quint4x2 at both op call sites. Without this, isInt8Quant() matched and the runner was instantiated at the wrong element width, producing incorrect output rather than an error. - Fix the meta kernel, which reported half the hidden size for packed INT4. - Add W4A16 to the parametrized MoE backend tests with a dequantized reference at the existing 0.99/0.96 tolerances.

… in module tests Mirror the non-gated harness handling that NVIDIA#15550 added for W8A16: W4A16QuantizeUtil emits empty w3 tensors when the activation is not gated, W4A16RefGatedMLPFusedMoE accepts Relu2/Silu and loads a single up-projection, and QuantAlgo.W4A16 joins the element-wise (Relu2) sweep so non-gated W4A16 runs against the dequantized reference on the CUTLASS path. Add QuantAlgo.W4A16 to test_moe_module's QUANT_ALGOS so test_configurable_moe_single_gpu exercises the method under the existing "CUTLASS and not None" pre-merge entries, and register the three standalone W4A16 tests in l0_b200 and l0_h100.

…nnel layout swap When unpadded_hidden_size is omitted, runMoe and runMoeMinLantency defaulted it from fc2_expert_weights.sizes()[1] before the per-channel weight-only dim swap. Under that layout sizes()[1] is inter_size, so the output width was wrong for INT8 and, with the packed trailing dim, for INT4 as well. Take the default after the swap so it is the logical hidden size in both overloads. The CutlassFusedMoE call sites always pass unpadded_hidden_size explicitly; this affects direct callers of the op only. Signed-off-by: Dorijan10 <dorian.magasic@turintech.ai>

Pushed three commits addressing the coderabbit's review. 3d0c78a non-gated coverage and test lists. W4A16QuantizeUtil now emits empty w3 tensors when the activation is not gated and W4A16RefGatedMLPFusedMoE accepts Relu2/Silu, mirroring the W8A16 pair. QuantAlgo.W4A16 joins the element-wise sweep, giving 20 act=Relu2 cases against the dequantized reference, matching the W8A16 count. The parametrized cases were already selected by the existing -k "CUTLASS" entries in l0_h100.yml and l0_b200.yml; the three standalone functions were not, so they are now listed explicitly. QuantAlgo.W4A16 was also missing from QUANT_ALGOS in test_moe_module.py, which left the method-class mapping unexercised. scripts/check_test_list.py --validate passes. 6002ec4 default unpadded hidden size. runMoe and runMoeMinLantency defaulted it from fc2_expert_weights.sizes()[1] before the per-channel branch restores the logical dimensions; under that layout the value is inter_size. Both overloads now take the default after the swap. This applies to INT8 weight-only too, not just W4A16, though it is unreachable from CutlassFusedMoE: both call sites pass unpadded_hidden_size explicitly, and every caller that omits it passes use_woq_per_channel=False. Same ordering as 70f5d9b in #16198, so the two resolve cleanly whichever lands first. 6d411d7 comment accuracy. Replaces file:line references with symbol names; several were wrong (functional.py is 184 lines but was cited at :1020). Also drops an incorrect claim that INT8WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod hardcodes intermediate_size_per_partition * 2, and adds missing docstrings. I have corrected the description accordingly: with mInnerDimMultiplier == 1 the inter-size change is a no-op for INT8 in both branches, so the earlier "non-gated INT8 now passes where it previously rejected" was wrong. Validation. GB10 (sm_121), release:1.3.0rc24 with a wheel built from this branch: test_moe_backend.py and test_moe_module.py on W4A16 or W8A16 give 125 passed, 159 skipped, 0 failed, up from 88 passed, with the W8A16 half unchanged. pre-commit is clean. Will review the new comments from coderabbit in due course. |
… activations Annotate every function this change adds, per CODING_GUIDELINES "Always annotate functions": the six W4A16WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod methods, the two CutlassFusedMoE properties, the W4A16 reference-module and quantize-util methods, and the three new tests. Replace the activation assert in W4A16RefGatedMLPFusedMoE with a ValueError so the constructor still rejects unsupported activations under python -O. has_int4_woq_per_channel now returns False rather than the quant_config object when no quant config is present, so the new -> bool annotations are accurate.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This only guards num_rows % 64, but preprocess_weights_for_mixed_gemm also bare-asserts num_cols % 8 (functional.py:122), so e.g. intermediate_size=1828, tp=2 or hidden_size % 16 != 0 still dies with an opaque AssertionError in the w3_w1 loader. Either validate both dims here, or give the asserts in functional.py messages so the INT8 class benefits too.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yeah agreed, fixed in 9f8c86d. _validate_alignment now takes both counts and checks num_cols % 8 as well. Also added test_cutlass_w4a16_unaligned_cols_raise_diagnostic and registered it in l0_h100.yml and l0_b200.yml.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is a near-verbatim copy of INT8WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod (L1462); the only deltas are torch.quint4x2 vs torch.int8 and // 2 on the packed dim. The dense path handles both with one class via get_weight_dtype_and_id; could the MoE method be parametrized the same way (or subclass INT8 overriding two attributes) so loader fixes don't have to land twice?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yeah, I think it can be done in same way. Implemented in a42bcce. The shared implementation moves to WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethodBase and both classes are now three attributes (preprocessor_weight_dtype, packed_elements_per_byte, quant_name) plus a _check_quant_mode hook. I kept both class names instead of subclassing INT8.
…d module Two function-local imports in the W4A16 shape and alignment tests still pointed at tensorrt_llm._torch.modules.fused_moe.quantization, which no longer exists after the MoE tree move, so both tests would fail on a clean build along with the l0_h100 and l0_b200 entries that select them. Signed-off-by: Dorijan10 <dorian.magasic@turintech.ai>
…heck preprocess_weights_for_mixed_gemm asserts num_cols % MMA_SHAPE_N == 0 with MMA_SHAPE_N == 8, unconditionally, alongside the row asserts, and _validate_alignment only covered rows. Because num_cols counts packed bytes, that assert is reachable whenever the logical width is not a multiple of 16: intermediate_size 1828 at tp=2 gives 914 logical and 457 packed, which fails with a bare AssertionError several frames below the loader. The existing 64-row check already subsumes the other row asserts (B_ROWS_PER_MMA = 32, elts_in_int32 = 8), so the column check is the only gap. Signed-off-by: Dorijan10 <dorian.magasic@turintech.ai>
…-only MoE methods INT8WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod and W4A16WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod differed only in the dtype handed to the mixed-GEMM preprocessor, in how many logical values share one int8 storage byte, and in the quant-mode predicate. The rest was duplicated, so loader fixes had to land twice. Move the shared implementation to WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethodBase and leave both concrete classes as three attributes and a _check_quant_mode hook. Both names are preserved, since fused_moe_cutlass.py and test_moe_module.py import them. Three fixes that had only been applied to the W4A16 copy now cover INT8 as well: the alignment diagnostics replace bare AssertionErrors from preprocess_weights_for_mixed_gemm, load_quant_scales rejects MoEWeightLoadingMode.FUSED_GATE_UP_PROJ instead of raising KeyError on the per-expert scale keys, and the activation-dtype check raises ValueError rather than using an assert.

Keeps both sides of the test_moe_backend.py collision: the W4A16 shape and alignment tests and main's new MegaMoE CuteDSL tests were inserted at the same point and share no symbols. Signed-off-by: Dorian Magasic <dorian.magasic@turintech.ai>

LGTM on MoE side.

Reviewers, thanks for all of the helpful comments. If there is nothing too out of the ordinary to address, I suggest we start triggering the blossom-ci runs and improve from there. |

Takes the AutoDeploy removal from NVIDIA#19028. The only change this branch made to trtllm_moe.py was keeping one fused_moe call site in step with the renamed use_woq_per_channel kwarg; with the file deleted upstream, that change goes too. Signed-off-by: Dorian Magasic <dorian.magasic@turintech.ai>

Description
Adds INT4 weight-only per-channel (W4A16) support to the Cutlass fused MoE path. Before this change, any non-INT8 per-channel quantization was refused outright in
moeOp.cppwithTORCH_CHECK(false, "Unsupported weight only quantization"), even though the layers beneath it already handled INT4.Changes
mInnerDimMultipliermust multiply the fc1 side. The previous form is equivalent at INT8, where the multiplier is 1, but rejects every valid INT4 shape. Applied in bothrunMoeandrunMoeMinLantency.W4A16WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod: packed weight creation, per-output-channel scales, TP-aware loaders, and a 64-row alignment diagnostic that names the offending tensor and TP size instead of surfacing a bareAssertionErrorfrom insidepreprocess_weights_for_mixed_gemm.torch.compile.Validation
Hardware: NVIDIA GB10, sm_121, single GPU. W4A16 takes the SM80 interleaved layout path.
Unit. W4A16 added to the parametrized MoE backend tests, comparing the Cutlass kernel against a dequantized reference at the existing 0.99 / 0.96 tolerances. 31 W4A16 cases pass across fp16 and bf16, sequence lengths 1 and 8, and six expert configurations up to 60 experts at hidden 2048. Running the W4A16 and W8A16 selections together gives 88 passed, 0 failed, so the shared per-channel path is not regressed.
Non-gated W4A16 is covered end to end: QuantAlgo.W4A16 is in the element-wise (Relu2) sweep with a non-gated reference, giving 20 cases matching the W8A16 arm. QuantAlgo.W4A16 was also added to test_moe_module.py's QUANT_ALGOS, so the CUTLASS single-GPU module tests exercise it. Running the W4A16 and W8A16 selections together now gives 125 passed, 0 failed.
Model level. Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B, routed experts quantized offline to symmetric per-output-channel INT4 with everything else left BF16.
Benchmark: 500 prompts, 512 input and 512 output tokens, concurrency 32, 500/500 completed with zero failures. The GSM8K difference is 1.2 sigma on the standard error of the difference and is not statistically significant at n=1319.
The model-level measurements were taken on 1.3.0rc17; the branch is rebased onto main and the unit tests rerun there, built against the
devel:1.3.0rc24image (PyTorch 2.12).Checkpoint format
Routed experts only (
*.mixer.experts.N.{up_proj,down_proj}.weight); every other tensor stays BF16 and is listed inexclude_modules. Weights are quantized symmetrically per output channel withscale = absmax / 7, then packed two INT4 per byte along dim 0, the output dim, even logical index in the low nibble. Scales are written alongside as{key}.weight_scaleat full unpacked width.hf_quant_config.jsoncarriesquant_algo: W4A16.Related work
#16198 has merged. Its 64-row INT8 padding now lives in the shared `WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethodBase` and applies to INT8 only, so W8A16 keeps main's behaviour. Extending that padding to INT4 is the natural fix for the TP limitation below, as a follow-up.
Known limitations
should_skip_cutlassgroups W4A16 with the 128-alignment quantizations although the real constraint is 64 rows. This is conservative rather than wrong. The multi-GPU module tests now run W4A16 on H100 and B200, buttest_configurable_moe_multi_gpuusesDEP/TEP, which both setmoe_tp_size = 1, so they cover expert parallelism; MoE tensor parallelism above one rank remains unexercised and is left to the 64-row padding follow-up. See Related work.mInnerDimMultiplier == 1the new form is algebraically identical to the previous one in both the gated and non-gated branches. Only INT4, where the multiplier is 2, changes behaviour.Dev Engineer Review
