Follow-ups to #21787 (GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 Modeling V2 targets on SM100), from review comments that were not posted before it merged.
Image and video requests. The checkpoint is the vision-language wrapper (Glm5NextForConditionalGeneration), but both targets are text only: they build no vision tower, and their forward ignores multimodal_params. modeling_v2 defaults to auto, so on B200 a deployment of the NVFP4 checkpoint that keeps the multimodal encoder (the default) built a target, and a request with an image was served as its text alone. route now takes a deployment only when it serves the checkpoint text only (disable_mm_encoder=True); with the encoder enabled, auto falls back to the built-in model, which runs the vision tower. Both targets also refuse a request that carries multimodal input at admission (validate_multimodal_request_data), which fails that request alone rather than its batch.
Behavior change:disable_mm_encoder defaults to false, and trtllm-serve does not set it. A text-only deployment that should keep building these targets must now set disable_mm_encoder: true, which also skips loading the vision tower. Without it, auto builds the built-in model and logs the reason at INFO.
Draft trees on the split target._split_refused admitted one-model MTP with a dynamic draft tree. The split target verifies the drafts as a linear chain: KDA advances its recurrent state through the verify tokens in order, and the sparse layers place them at consecutive positions without reading a tree mask. It now declines dynamic trees and max_total_draft_tokens != max_draft_len. The built-in model has the same limitation, so under auto such a deployment still falls back to it; under require it is now an explicit NoTarget.
Drafter options the fused target ignored. The fused target builds its own drafter on the target's LM head and MoE backend, so draft_lm_head_dtype="mxfp8" and speculative_config.moe_backend had no effect, and under DWDP the MTP layer, which runs once per draft step, was not declared a repeated layer (add_repeated_layer). These deployments now go to the split target, whose stock drafter applies them. The fused target's constructor also refuses the two speculative options.
Metadata save in the fused step.Glm5NextMtpStep saved the attention metadata before its try/finally. A save that fails partway, such as an out-of-memory copy during the engine's warmup, left the prepare_for_spec_dec state saved, and every later step then failed at its pairing assert. The save now runs inside the try, as SpecWorkerBase.forward guards the stock worker.
UNCERTIFIED_GENERIC_CALLS check.test_modeling_v2_claims.py, which checked these lists, was removed in [None][chore] Relax Modeling V2 naming and select Modeling V2 tests by change scope #21603. A source-reading check modelled on the Kimi K3 one (_glm5_next_generic_calls.py) now runs per target and fails when a list misses a stock import of its module or names something the module does not import.
Not in this PR: the fused step's target and draft argmax use torch.argmax rather than the stock worker's Triton greedy_argmax. Switching needs a measurement, and #21019 replaces the fused step.
Test Coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/models/glm5_next/test_glm5_next_routing.py (CPU, l0_cpu): the multimodal encoder enabled → no target; an MXFP8 draft head, a draft MoE backend or DWDP → split target; a dynamic draft tree → NoTarget. The routing cases now pass disable_mm_encoder=True, as the accuracy tests do.
tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/models/glm5_next/glm_5_3_flash_nvfp4__sm_100__default_mtp_fused/spec/test_modeling_v2_mtp_step.py (GPU, l0_b200): a metadata save that fails partway leaves no saved state, and the next step matches a clean run; the constructor refuses an MXFP8 draft head and a draft MoE backend.
test_glm53_flash_default_text_only.py and test_glm53_flash_default_mtp_fused_text_only.py, one in each target's unit test directory (CPU, added to l0_cpu): the target defines the admission hook under the name MultimodalModelMixin declares, and the hook refuses image and video input.
test_glm53_flash_default_uncertified_generic_calls.py and test_glm53_flash_default_mtp_fused_uncertified_generic_calls.py, one in each target's unit test directory (CPU, added to l0_cpu).
The GSM8K gates in tests/integration/defs/accuracy/modeling_v2/glm5_next/ and TestGLM53FlashNVFP4 already set disable_mm_encoder=True, so they build the same targets as before.
Local results, with the CI wheel of #21787's pipeline and this PR's three modules copied over it, in the CI image (pytorch-26.09-py3-x86_64-ubuntu24.04-skip-tritondevel-202611030656-21516):
glm5_next cpu_only tests: 46 passed. The 9 new routing cases fail against the routing before this PR.
test_modeling_v2_mtp_step.py on one B200: 21 passed. test_failed_metadata_save_leaves_no_saved_state fails when the save is moved back before the try.
tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/test_modeling_v2_ci_selection.py: the glm5_next checks pass; its two failures are on paths this PR does not touch (qwen4_exp, kimi_k3_vl, minimax_m3).

Walkthrough
GLM-5.3-Flash routing now limits target selection to supported text-only and linear-chain configurations. Both targets reject multimodal request data. The fused MTP step restores metadata after partial-save failures. Tests cover routing, admission, metadata restoration, and generic-import declarations.

GLM-5.3-Flash routing and target behavior

Summary
Target routing and speculation eligibility tensorrt_llm/_torch/_experimental/modeling_v2/models/glm5_next/routing.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/_experimental/modeling_v2/models/glm5_next/.../modeling.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/models/glm5_next/test_glm5_next_routing.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/models/glm5_next/.../spec/test_modeling_v2_mtp_step.py
Routing rejects configurations with the multimodal encoder enabled. It also rejects unsupported speculation settings, including DWDP for the fused target and draft trees for the split target. Tests cover these conditions and other unsupported draft options.
Both targets define an admission hook that raises ValueError for multimodal request data. CPU tests cover image and video input. The CPU test list includes the target tests.
Metadata saving now occurs inside the try block, so the finally restoration path also runs if saving fails partway. A test simulates a packed-mask copy failure, checks state after failure, and retries the step.
A source-based helper compares declared uncertified generic imports with stock TensorRT-LLM imports. Target tests check that declarations match the discovered imports.
NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM#21787: Introduced the GLM-5.3-Flash split and fused targets, their routing, and the fused MTP step.
Suggested reviewers: litaotju, wanli-jiang
Merge Risk: Low · up to bb0de
The routing, admission and metadata-restoration changes look sound. The import-audit test helper can still miss some stock imports and undeclared modules, so it may give a false pass. This is a limited follow-up and does not block merge.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to bb0de
The change narrows accepted configurations and rejects unsupported inputs before execution. No introduced security flaw was established, but exceptional recovery paths and some input representations remain only partially verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — For requests reaching the inspected admission path, hook failures are caught and reported against that request alone. Validation occurs before multimodal encoder initialization and before insertion into active_requests, containing the newly introduced rejection behavior to the offending request.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The change adds complementary deployment-time and request-time controls: encoder-enabled deployments cannot select these text-only targets, and admitted targets reject payloads presented through the multimodal admission hook. Neither control grants additional request authority.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — The inspected serving path provides counterevidence to a new cross-request snapshot race: one executor worker runs the selected loop, and both normal single-stage loop variants invoke forward synchronously. The PR changes cleanup coverage, not the existing instance-scoped snapshot ownership design. This does not establish safety for custom concurrent direct invocation.

Explanation
The title names the main change: tightening GLM-5.3-Flash modeling_v2 routing and the fused MTP step. The changeset covers both areas: routing rules for multimodal, draft trees, and drafter options, plus the fused step's metadata save. The title follows the repository template with the [None][fix] prefix and a clear summary. It omits the new admission checks and the UNCERTIFIED_GENERIC_CALLS test, which is acceptable because a title need not cover every detail.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It explains the problem and the fix for each change: multimodal routing, draft trees, drafter options, the metadata save, and the generic-call check. It lists test coverage with file paths and reported local results. It also includes a behavior change note for operators who must set disable_mm_encoder: true. The PR checklist is present and checked. The title is not in the template format for ticket ID, since it uses [None] and the type [fix], which is valid. The description's Description section does not use the template's brief wording, but it is clear and complete.

Detect ordinary stock imports.
A target can add import tensorrt_llm._torch.modules.gated_mlp as mlp and use mlp.GatedMLP without changing the declaration. This check ignores the import, so the audit still passes. Detect these imports and their used names, or reject this import form. Add a source-fixture test for the chosen behavior.
As per path instructions, flag “tests that can silently pass.”

Audit generic modules that lack a declaration.
A new target helper can import stock code without defining UNCERTIFIED_GENERIC_CALLS. Discovery excludes that helper, and the modeling-specific assertion still passes. Scan relevant generic-path modules for stock imports even when they lack a declaration. Add a fixture with an undeclared helper to prevent this false pass.

#21019's glm_5_3_flash_nvfp4__sm_10x__tp4 target is text only too, but its _tp4_refused does not check disable_mm_encoder and it has no validate_multimodal_request_data. Whichever of the two lands second, could this check move ahead of every target, with the same admission hook on the tp4 target?
* Route to the text-only targets only when the deployment serves the
checkpoint text only (disable_mm_encoder); with the multimodal encoder
enabled, the built-in model serves image and video input. Both targets
refuse a request that carries multimodal input at admission
(validate_multimodal_request_data) instead of serving its text alone.
* Decline dynamic and static draft trees for the split target, which
verifies the drafts as a linear chain.
* Send deployments with an MXFP8 draft LM head, a draft MoE backend or
DWDP to the split target: the fused target's own drafter does not apply
them.
* Save the attention metadata inside the fused step's try block, so a
save that fails partway is restored.
* Check each target's UNCERTIFIED_GENERIC_CALLS against its imports again,
and test each target's text-only admission hook (cpu_only tests, listed
in l0_cpu).
