Dev Engineer Review

  • Added fail-fast validation for static quantization recipes when high-precision checkpoint weights lack required scale tensors.
  • Registered static algorithms validate their expected scale layouts.
  • Unregistered static algorithms fail closed instead of bypassing validation.
  • Error handling identifies the affected module and recommends a quantized checkpoint or dynamic: true.
  • Excluded modules, dynamic recipes, valid static checkpoints, and unquantized runs remain unaffected.
  • Added the guard test file to the l0_cpu test list.
  • The changes introduce no public API changes and no configuration scope issues.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added test_unregistered_static_algo_fails_closed.
  • Extended coverage for:
    • Invalid unquantized checkpoints.
    • Valid quantized checkpoints.
    • Excluded modules.
    • Dynamic recipes.
    • Unquantized recipes.
    • Unregistered static algorithms.
  • The test file is covered by tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml.
  • The guard tests use device-independent stubs and were moved to the CPU CI lane.
  • Eleven guard tests passed in the staging container.
  • Verdict: sufficient

Description

Problem

In the VisualGen (diffusion) weight-loading path, requesting a static quant
recipe (quant_config with dynamic: false, i.e. dynamic_weight_quant=False)
against a plain BF16/FP16 checkpoint silently corrupts the model instead of
failing
:

  • The Linear modules are built with quantized buffers
    (FP8QDQLinearMethod / FP8BlockScalesLinearMethod / NVFP4LinearMethod).
  • DynamicLinearWeightLoader skips load-time quantization because the recipe
    is static (_should_dynamic_quantize returns False).
  • Linear.load_weights then casts the high-precision checkpoint weight into
    the quantized buffer while the scale parameters keep their create_weights
    defaults: weight_scale = 1.0 for FP8-QDQ (silent precision loss), and
    torch.empty garbage 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 every
VisualGen 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, plus weight_scale_2 for NVFP4), raise a ValueError that
names 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:

  • Verified against real ModelOpt static exports of Wan2.2-TI2V-5B: FP8 layers
    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).
  • Modules excluded via the recipe/checkpoint ignore list (e.g. ModelOpt's
    condition_embedder*, patch_embedding, proj_out for Wan) are skipped
    using the same is_module_excluded_from_quantization walk the dynamic path
    already uses.
  • Dynamic recipes (dynamic: true) and unquantized runs are unaffected.

Evidence

Measured with an internal study harness on 1x B200, TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc24
container (numbers are from that baseline; this guard only adds an error
path, no perf impact):

Recipe on Wan2.2-TI2V-5B Checkpoint Result at rc24
FP8/FP8_BLOCK_SCALES/NVFP4, dynamic: false BF16 Garbage/NaN output, no error (this bug; now a clear ValueError)
FP8_BLOCK_SCALES, dynamic: true BF16 Works: −13.3% denoise latency, LPIPS 0.125 (gate ≤ 0.25), 242/242 eligible Linears quantized
NVFP4, dynamic: true BF16 Works: −15.4% denoise latency, LPIPS 0.211 (gate ≤ 0.25)
Static (from ckpt metadata) ModelOpt FP8 / NVFP4 exports Works; 300 pre-quantized Linears with scale tensors per export — guard verified not to trip

Test Coverage

  • New CPU-only unit test
    tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_quant_static_guard.py
    (pytest.mark.cpu_only):
    • static FP8 / FP8_BLOCK_SCALES / NVFP4 recipe vs BF16 weights raises
      ValueError before Linear.load_weights is reached;
    • static FP8 and NVFP4 weight dicts mirroring the real ModelOpt export
      layout load through untouched;
    • ignore-excluded modules and unquantized/dynamic recipes are unaffected.
  • Existing GPU tests tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_quant_ops.py
    cover the dynamic quantization path, which is unchanged.

…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.

Walkthrough

The loader now fails closed for unregistered static quantization algorithms with high-precision weights. Registered algorithms validate required scales. CPU tests cover rejection, successful loading, bypasses, and test-list registration.

Changes

Static quantization guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Static scale validation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/visual_gen/quantization/loader.py
Static validation now covers all configured non-dynamic algorithms. Registered algorithms check required scales. Unregistered algorithms reject high-precision weights before loading.
Validation and bypass coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_quant_static_guard.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml
CPU tests cover rejected high-precision checkpoints, valid FP8 and NVFP4 checkpoints, bypass conditions, and test-suite registration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a4114

Static quantization requests can still bypass validation in some checkpoint layouts, allowing invalid weights or missing scale data to reach loading and produce corrupted or unusable outputs. Merge should wait for the guard logic and corresponding regression coverage to reject these cases reliably.

… scale layout

Review r3809965203: W4A16_AWQ / W4A8_AWQ (and W8A8_SQ_PER_CHANNEL) are
accepted by the config algo_map but had no _STATIC_SCALE_KEYS entry, so the
guard returned early and the uninitialized-scale corruption still applied
(their LinearMethods allocate weight_scale with torch.empty). Restructure
the guard so any static recipe seeing a high-precision weight on a
non-excluded module raises: with the missing-scale detail when the algo's
checkpoint layout is registered, or a fails-closed message when it is not.
Verified: 11 unit tests green in the staging release container.

Review r3809922300: the test uses a stub Linear and never touches a device,
so run it in the CPU-Generic stages (which select with -m cpu_only) instead
of spending B200 time. Restores the cpu_only pytestmark and moves the list
entry from l0_b200.yml to l0_cpu.yml. Verified in the staging container:
-m cpu_only selects and passes all 11 tests.

175-199: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate static scale requirements independently of weight dtype.

Line 176 returns before checking scales for already-quantized weights. A torch.float8_e4m3fn or torch.uint8 checkpoint can therefore reach module.load_weights without required scale tensors.

The opposite case also bypasses the guard. A BF16, FP16, or FP32 weight with all registered scale keys returns at Line 182, although static loading requires pre-quantized weights.

Check registered scale keys before the dtype gate. Reject high-precision weights even when scale keys are present. Add regression tests for both cases and use an error detail that matches the actual failure.

…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.
