[None][fix] layer-wise calibrator: resolve the decoder stack instead of assuming model.model.layers - #19122
Calibrator._wrap_layer_forward reaches straight for model.model.layers, which holds for the plain causal-LM wrappers and for nothing else. A vision-language checkpoint serving text only exposes no .model:
py_executor_creator.py:616 calibrator.maybe_wrap_model(model_engine.model)
calibrator.py:365 for idx, layer in enumerate(model.model.layers)
AttributeError: 'Qwen3_5VLModel' object has no attribute 'model'
The weights load first, so this surfaces during executor creation as a worker crash rather than an unsupported-model message, and it makes COLLECT — and therefore every replay derived from a pack — unavailable for those architectures.
Qwen3.5-9B registers as Qwen3_5VLModel, which keeps the causal LM under llm (Qwen3VLModelBase.__init__ does self.llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_config(...)), so its stack is at model.llm.model.layers — two unwraps down, under a name a one-level lookup never tries. The Gemma-style *ForConditionalGeneration classes use language_model the same way.
Approach
_decoder_layers searches supported wrapper branches (model, llm, language_model) in priority order with a depth-first traversal. Each path permits up to four unwraps, including the object reached by the fourth unwrap. Per-path ancestor tracking stops cycles while allowing a shared subtree to be retried through a shorter path.
_layer_list considers layers, block, blocks, and h in order. It rejects collections.abc.Mapping instances, including integer-keyed mappings whose values look like layers, and accepts non-empty, indexable layer containers such as PyTorch ModuleList when the first item has a callable forward.
The length/index probe skips candidates that raise TypeError, KeyError, or IndexError. If no supported decoder stack resolves, NoDecoderLayers names the model and searched wrapper types.
Test Coverage
tests/unittest/tools/test_layer_wise_benchmarks_calibrator.py is CPU-only and covers:
all four layer-list attribute names, direct stacks, and nested llm/language_model layouts
alternate wrapper branches after empty or cyclic model branches, with wrapper priority preserved
zero through four unwraps, rejection beyond the budget, and shared subtrees reached with different path budgets
rejection and fallback for integer-keyed dict and UserDict candidates, plus valid PyTorch ModuleList acceptance
decoy and empty candidates, self-references, resolution errors, and observable MARK-mode delegation through maybe_wrap_model
replay-window and replay-shape validation
Targeted CPU validation: 47 tests passed using real PyTorch/NVTX with TRT_LLM_NO_LIB_INIT=1 and the PR's calibrator/test sources loaded from an isolated temporary directory. All configured pre-commit hooks passed on both changed files. Full host unit-suite collection is blocked by the host Python environment lacking torch.
Verified on hardware, not only in unit tests. With this change patched into the installed 1.3.0rc25 calibrator, COLLECT on Qwen3.5-9B (B200) writes calibration_data.json with 26 iterations covering the profile window; before it aborted during executor creation.
Current CI status (2026-11-12)
Current head: fd525f2c29d0, merging upstream main at 762a8dc2a2e2. The previous-head L0 #69111 failure is now attributed: six idle-cancellation fixture cases and their suite wrapper fail on each CPU architecture because stale SimpleNamespace fixtures lack guided_failures. This merge includes upstream #21994 (0c6ac5f6060c), which uses BatchState/SampleStateTorch and initializes the guided-decoder field. The failure is an upstream test-fixture defect, not an unproven infrastructure issue. Both PR-specific files are byte-for-byte unchanged. Selected-file pre-commit, whitespace and independent merge review passed. No PR-specific waiver or dependency pin was added. The exact merged calibrator and regression-test sources passed 47 CPU tests in an isolated harness using real PyTorch/NVTX. The advisory Pyrefly check was unavailable because Pyrefly is not installed; no successful type check is claimed. L0 #69111 also records the nested-wrapper public-entry-point regression and the tools wrapper as PASSED. A standard new-head CI run is requested; its outcome is pending.

Dev Engineer Review
_decoder_layers searches the root model and up to four wrapper levels through model, llm, and language_model. It checks layers, block, blocks, and h in that order.
_layer_list rejects mappings, empty or non-indexable candidates, and candidates whose first item lacks a callable forward. It skips candidates that raise TypeError, KeyError, or IndexError during length or index checks.
NoDecoderLayers reports the model type and inspected wrapper types when resolution fails. _wrap_layer_forward now uses the resolver instead of requiring model.model.layers.
The author reports 47 CPU tests passed and reports a Qwen3.5-9B B200 collection run completed with 26 iterations. Full current-head L0 success is not available; the supplied report describes failures in two L0 runs without establishing their causes.
QA Engineer Review
Modified tests/unittest/tools/test_layer_wise_benchmarks_calibrator.py. New tests cover supported layer names and wrapper layouts, search priority and depth, cycles, shared branches, invalid candidates, error messages, and layer wrapping through maybe_wrap_model.
The modified unit test file is not listed in the searched CI or manual-QA lists. The CI lists include separate integration tests from test_layer_wise_benchmarks.py.
The author reports 47 CPU tests passed. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the resolver paths and wrapping behavior changed here.
Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/tools/layer_wise_benchmarks/calibrator.py: Verify that supported wrapper paths resolve the intended decoder stack and that invalid candidates produce NoDecoderLayers. Confirm the selected layers remain wrapped and delegate to their original forward methods.
tests/unittest/tools/test_layer_wise_benchmarks_calibrator.py: Tests resolver success and failure paths, traversal boundaries, and wrapping behavior. The file is not listed in the searched CI or manual-QA test lists.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The calibrator now searches supported attributes and bounded wrapper paths for decoder layers. It validates candidate stacks, raises NoDecoderLayers when discovery fails, and uses the discovered layers for wrapping. Tests cover nested models, invalid candidates, traversal limits, and delegation.

Decoder-layer discovery and validation tensorrt_llm/tools/layer_wise_benchmarks/calibrator.py, tests/unittest/tools/test_layer_wise_benchmarks_calibrator.py
The calibrator searches supported layer attributes through bounded wrapper paths. It validates candidates and raises NoDecoderLayers when no valid stack exists. Tests cover supported structures, invalid candidates, and traversal limits.
Layer wrapping now uses _decoder_layers(model) instead of assuming model.model.layers. A MARK-mode test checks nested wrapping and delegation to the original forward method.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in substance. It states the problem (model.model.layers lookup fails for VLM wrappers such as Qwen3.5 with llm and language_model layouts), the approach (priority-ordered resolver with depth-limited traversal, layer-container validation, and a NoDecoderLayers error), test coverage (the calibrator test module, 47 CPU tests, and hardware verification on Qwen3.5-9B), and a checklist. The template's Description, Test Coverage, and PR Checklist sections are all present and filled. Gaps: the title is not given in the description, and the checklist items are partly unchecked template items. The CI status section is long and mixes unresolved L0 failures with the change itself, which makes the merge readiness unclear. It does not mention the template's API-compatibility label decision, though the change is internal. The description is substantive and specific, so it passes.

…of assuming model.model.layers
`Calibrator._wrap_layer_forward` reaches straight for `model.model.layers`,
which holds for the plain causal-LM wrappers and for nothing else. A
vision-language checkpoint serving text only exposes no `.model`:
py_executor_creator.py:616 calibrator.maybe_wrap_model(model_engine.model)
calibrator.py:365 for idx, layer in enumerate(model.model.layers)
AttributeError: 'Qwen3_5VLModel' object has no attribute 'model'
The weights load first, so this surfaces during executor creation as a worker
crash rather than as an unsupported-model message, and it makes COLLECT -- and
therefore every replay derived from a pack -- unavailable for those
architectures.
Qwen3.5-9B registers as `Qwen3_5VLModel`, which keeps the causal LM under `llm`
(`Qwen3VLModelBase.__init__` does `self.llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_config(...)`),
so its stack is at `model.llm.model.layers` -- two unwraps down, under a name a
one-level lookup never tries. The Gemma-style `*ForConditionalGeneration`
classes use `language_model` the same way.
`_decoder_layers` walks the wrapper chain (`model`, `llm`, `language_model`) up
to four levels, bounded and cycle-safe, and `_layer_list` accepts a candidate
only when it is non-empty and its first item has a callable `forward` -- the
attribute `_wrap_layer_forward` goes on to assign. A sized, indexable decoy such
as a list of config dicts would otherwise be wrapped, measure nothing, and still
report a number. The `len`/index probe catches TypeError, KeyError and
IndexError, because a mapping named `h` passes both the `__getitem__` and
`len()` checks and then raises KeyError on `[0]`, which would abort the search
for the remaining names. When nothing resolves, the error names the chain it
walked so the next unknown wrapper says where it gave up.
Verified on hardware, not only in unit tests: with this change patched into the
installed 1.3.0rc25 calibrator, COLLECT on Qwen3.5-9B (B200) writes
`calibration_data.json` with 26 iterations covering the profile window, where
before it aborted during executor creation.

The budget counts unwraps, so the object reached by the last one has to be
examined: range(_MAX_UNWRAP_DEPTH) looked at the root and three levels while the
name promised four. Parametrised over 0..4 unwraps, with a fifth that refuses.
The existing tests all call _decoder_layers directly, so a regression leaving
nested llm/language_model layers unwrapped would pass every one of them and
measure nothing at run time. Added a test through maybe_wrap_model in MARK mode,
which reaches _wrap_layer_forward without touching CUDA.
__wrapped__ is compared with == and not is: attribute access builds a fresh
bound method each time, so the object captured before wrapping is never
identical to the one functools.wraps recorded.

Current-head CI (51d6a31aee94): L0 #67848 failed in the unrelated tests/unittest/others/test_tracing.py assertions. The failure analysis reports two OpenTelemetry scope spans (fastapi and trt.llm) where the test expects one. This PR changes only the calibrator and its tests. The one-scope assertion also remains on main at 47cd51b11b; this is a tracing-test incompatibility, not evidence of a calibrator regression or a Jenkins infrastructure outage. One fresh standard CI run is requested. If the same tracing assertion reproduces, it needs a tracing-test fix rather than repeated identical reruns. Full current-head L0 success remains unverified.
Updated this branch with upstream main (d782229575f9) in 6c99eb505df0 to address the repeated CI blocker with the upstream fix already available.
The previous head's L0 #68217 failed in test_ptp_quickstart_advanced_mixed_precision. Primary stderr confirms the local absolute model path was sent to snapshot_download() and rejected as an invalid HF repo ID, before calibrator/model execution. The failure is outside the changed calibrator files; Jenkins classified it as a test failure. A missing or inaccessible local model directory is inferred from _ModelWrapper path detection, not directly checked on the worker.
Upstream #18654 / 24c76d7a2312 already pruned this test and its B200 list entry. The old head lacked that commit, and CI checked the head directly, so another unchanged-head retry would still schedule the obsolete test. The new merge includes the removal and preserves both calibrator/test files byte-for-byte.
Validation: 47 CPU tests passed against the merged sources with real PyTorch/NVTX, all configured pre-commit hooks passed on both PR files, the merged tree matches independent git merge-tree, and git diff --check against merged main is clean. The diff against merged main remains the original two files. Requesting a fresh standard CI run on 6c99eb505df0; full L0 success is still pending.

L0 #69111 also records the nested-wrapper public-entry-point regression and the tools wrapper as PASSED. A standard new-head CI run is requested; its outcome is pending.PR Checklist
[JIRA/NVBugs ID][type] SummaryDev Engineer Review
_decoder_layerssearches the root model and up to four wrapper levels throughmodel,llm, andlanguage_model. It checkslayers,block,blocks, andhin that order._layer_listrejects mappings, empty or non-indexable candidates, and candidates whose first item lacks a callableforward. It skips candidates that raiseTypeError,KeyError, orIndexErrorduring length or index checks.NoDecoderLayersreports the model type and inspected wrapper types when resolution fails._wrap_layer_forwardnow uses the resolver instead of requiringmodel.model.layers.QA Engineer Review
tests/unittest/tools/test_layer_wise_benchmarks_calibrator.py. New tests cover supported layer names and wrapper layouts, search priority and depth, cycles, shared branches, invalid candidates, error messages, and layer wrapping throughmaybe_wrap_model.test_layer_wise_benchmarks.py.Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/tools/layer_wise_benchmarks/calibrator.py: Verify that supported wrapper paths resolve the intended decoder stack and that invalid candidates produceNoDecoderLayers. Confirm the selected layers remain wrapped and delegate to their originalforwardmethods.tests/unittest/tools/test_layer_wise_benchmarks_calibrator.py: Tests resolver success and failure paths, traversal boundaries, and wrapping behavior.
