Conversation
…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>
…ings Replace file:line references in the W4A16 comments with symbol names. Several had rotted or were never right: tensorrt_llm/quantization/functional.py is 184 lines but was cited at :1020, interface.py at :1005-1007, and the moeOp.cpp references were several hundred lines off. Symbol names do not rot. Drop an incorrect claim that INT8WoqPerChannelFusedMoEMethod hardcodes intermediate_size_per_partition * 2; it has used expand_intermediate_size_per_partition since NVIDIA#15550. Make the alignment diagnostic accurate for both tensors: the 64-row constraint falls on the per-partition intermediate size for w2_weight, but on the hidden size for w3_w1_weight, which tensor parallelism does not change.

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.

runGemmProfile derives group_size from isInt4Quant() alone (L1001-1005), without consulting mUseWoqPerChannel. Plain per-channel W4A16 now reaches this path with mInnerDimMultiplier = 2, so group_size becomes 128: GemmProfilerBackend then classifies it as is_int_groupwise_w_quant (moe_kernels.cu L5199-5202), sizes the scale workspace by hidden_size / mGroupSize, and builds QuantParams::GroupWise instead of QuantParams::Int (L5467). Since the GEMM picks its scale pointer at runtime on groupwise.group_size > 0 (L3835/3864/3964), the profiling run feeds groupwise scales and group_size = 128 into a runner instantiated with use_w4_groupwise = false, i.e. a configuration the real runMoe never uses. Should this be isInt4Quant() && !mUseWoqPerChannel?

Confirmed and fixed in de766ac. Until this change isInt4Quant() implied mUseW4GroupScaling, since the only INT4 caller was WInt4AFP8FusedMoEMethod and fused_moe_cutlass.py sets use_w4_group_scaling=self.has_w4afp8 or self.has_w4a16_mxfp4, so per-channel W4A16 is the first INT4 config without group scaling and the first to reach this. I went with isInt4Quant() && mUseW4GroupScaling rather than !mUseWoqPerChannel, since that positive form is already the predicate used for the runner selection in the constructor and in getQuantParams(), so the profiler and runtime agree by construction instead of through two separately spelled rules. Could do it your way as well, if you think it is better.

Now that the flag is no longer INT8-specific by name, nothing ties use_woq_per_channel to an integer weight dtype, yet it unconditionally swaps the hidden/inter interpretation in runMoe, runMoeMinLantency and runGemmProfile. A caller passing it with, say, an FP8 weight dtype would get silently transposed dimensions with no error. Worth a constructor check next to the use_mxfp8_weight_scaling one: TORCH_CHECK(!mUseWoqPerChannel || isIntWeightOnlyQuant(), ...).

Agreed, added in de766ac next to the use_mxfp8_weight_scaling check:
TORCH_CHECK(!mUseWoqPerChannel || isIntWeightOnlyQuant(), "use_woq_per_channel requires an INT8 or INT4 weight dtype.");. After the rename the flag name was the only thing implying an integer weight dtype, and it swaps the hidden/inter interpretation in all three call sites.
Resolves the MoE tree relocation from NVIDIA#17952: quantization.py and fused_moe_cutlass.py now live under tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/, and the MoE unit tests under tests/unittest/_torch/moe/. The three standalone W4A16 test-list entries are re-added at the new path in l0_h100.yml and l0_b200.yml. Signed-off-by: Dorian Magasic <dorian.magasic@turintech.ai>
…nnel runGemmProfile derived the INT4 group size from isInt4Quant() alone, so plain per-channel W4A16 profiled as a groupwise configuration: the profiler sized the scale workspace by hidden_size / group_size and built QuantParams::GroupWise, while runMoe builds QuantParams::Int. Until this change isInt4Quant() implied use_w4_group_scaling, so the two agreed by accident; per-channel W4A16 is the first INT4 caller without group scaling. Derive the group size from isInt4Quant() && mUseW4GroupScaling instead, matching getQuantParams() and the runner selected in the constructor. Also reject use_woq_per_channel with a non-integer weight dtype at construction. The flag unconditionally swaps the hidden and intermediate dimensions in runMoe, runMoeMinLantency and runGemmProfile, which is only meaningful for INT8 or INT4 weights; previously the INT8-specific flag name was the only thing implying it.

I think this needs a new test-db entry like:
unittest/_torch/moe/test_moe_module.py::test_configurable_moe_multi_gpu -k "CUTLASS and W8A16"

Added in 612897f for both l0_dgx_h100.yml and l0_dgx_b200.yml. I used -k "CUTLASS and W4A16 and not MXFP4" since -k matches substrings and a bare W4A16 would also pull in the W4A16_MXFP4 cases. Note these cover expert-parallel loading rather than MoE TP, as test_configurable_moe_multi_gpu runs DEP/TEP which both set moe_tp_size=1, and I could not run them locally on a single-GPU box (Spark).

QuantAlgo.W4A16 in QUANT_ALGOS generates test_configurable_moe_multi_gpu cases, but no test-db entry selected them, so they were never run. Add a CUTLASS W4A16 entry beside the existing W8A16 one in both DGX lists. The filter excludes MXFP4 because pytest -k matches substrings: a bare "W4A16" would also select the W4A16_MXFP4 cases, which are listed separately on H100 and are deliberately not run on the CUTLASS backend on B200.

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
use_int8_woq_per_channeltouse_woq_per_channelacross the Python bindings andmoeOp.cpp, so INT4 reaches the runner.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.quint4x2at the quantized op call site. Without this,isInt8Quant()matched andCutlassMoeFCRunnerwas instantiated atuint8_t, producing incorrect output rather than an error.torch.compile.unpadded_hidden_sizeafter the per-channel layout swap in bothrunMoeandrunMoeMinLantency. It was previously read fromfc2_expert_weights.sizes()[1], which isinter_sizeunder that layout.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.

#16198 is open against the same two files (
quantization.pyandmoeOp.cpp) and adds 64-row padding for INT8-woq under tensor parallelism. Since that one will land sooner, this PR will need a rebase. That padding approach is also 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
