[TRTLLM-15404][fix] VisualGen: refuse static quant recipes against unquantized checkpoints (silent weight corruption) - #17699
Conversation
…quantized checkpoints (silent weight corruption) Static quant recipes (dynamic:false) against a BF16 checkpoint built quantized Linears but skipped load-time quantization, casting bf16 weights into fp8/fp4 buffers with default (FP8-QDQ: 1.0) or uninitialized (BLOCK_SCALES/NVFP4) scales — broken outputs with no error. Fail fast in load_linear_weights when a static recipe meets a high-precision weight without the expected scale tensors. Evidence: reproduced on Wan2.2-TI2V-5B (B200, 1.3.0rc24): dynamic:false vs BF16 ckpt = garbage output, no exception; dynamic:true works (fp8-bw -13.3%, LPIPS 0.125); ModelOpt FP8/NVFP4 static ckpts verified not to trip the guard.

LGTM for infra part
…atic load The static-quant guard added in NVIDIA#17699 resolves quant_algo by name: a module without its own quant_config falls back to the *global* recipe. That claims FP8 for modules which cannot be quantized at all -- Embedding reaches the quantized linear loader because it subclasses LMHead -> Linear, yet its __init__ never exposes quant_config, so it always keeps a high-precision buffer. ModelOpt does not list it in 'ignore' either, since only Linear targets were ever candidates, so the exclusion check does not rescue it. The result was that any static-FP8 VisualGen checkpoint failed to load on 'language_model.embed_tokens' with a bf16 weight refused as would-be silent corruption, when the destination buffer was bf16 too and there was nothing to corrupt. Static FP8 is the only pre-quantized recipe in the tree, so this was latent until now: BF16 and the dynamic recipes return before the check. Consult the destination buffer instead, which is the condition the guard's own docstring describes ('a module was built for a quantized recipe'). A module built for FP8 holds a float8 buffer and still raises; where the destination is unknown the check proceeds, keeping the fail-closed behaviour. Both directions are pinned by tests.

Problem
In the VisualGen (diffusion) weight-loading path, requesting a static quant
recipe (
quant_configwithdynamic: false, i.e.dynamic_weight_quant=False)against a plain BF16/FP16 checkpoint silently corrupts the model instead of
failing:
(
FP8QDQLinearMethod/FP8BlockScalesLinearMethod/NVFP4LinearMethod).DynamicLinearWeightLoaderskips load-time quantization because the recipeis static (
_should_dynamic_quantizereturnsFalse).Linear.load_weightsthen casts the high-precision checkpoint weight intothe quantized buffer while the scale parameters keep their
create_weightsdefaults:
weight_scale = 1.0for FP8-QDQ (silent precision loss), andtorch.emptygarbage for FP8_BLOCK_SCALES / NVFP4 (NaN outputs).No exception is raised anywhere; the pipeline runs to completion and produces
broken frames. Reproduced on Wan2.2-TI2V-5B (see Evidence).
The change
Add a fail-fast guard in
tensorrt_llm/_torch/visual_gen/quantization/loader.py(
DynamicLinearWeightLoader.load_linear_weights), the chokepoint everyVisualGen model family (Wan, Flux, Cosmos, LTX2, Qwen-Image) loads its Linear
weights through. When a static FP8 / FP8_BLOCK_SCALES / NVFP4 recipe is in
effect and the checkpoint provides a high-precision (
bf16/fp16/fp32)weight without the scale tensors the static loader expects
(
weight_scale, plusweight_scale_2for NVFP4), raise aValueErrorthatnames the module, the missing tensors, and the two remedies (use a quantized
checkpoint, or set
'dynamic': true).The guard deliberately checks the actual per-module tensors, not
config-level metadata, so it cannot trip legitimate static checkpoints:
carry
weight(float8_e4m3fn) +weight_scale/input_scale(f32);NVFP4 layers carry packed
weight(u8) +weight_scale(
float8_e4m3fn) +weight_scale_2(f32) — the guard passes both(weight dtype is not high-precision).
ignorelist (e.g. ModelOpt'scondition_embedder*,patch_embedding,proj_outfor Wan) are skippedusing the same
is_module_excluded_from_quantizationwalk the dynamic pathalready uses.
dynamic: true) and unquantized runs are unaffected.Evidence
Measured with an internal study harness on 1x B200, TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc24
