Summary

Pre-merge tier of the MX Model Family Testing Proposal (Lever 1). Today CI never checks that ModelExpress (MX) P2P-loaded weights equal HF-loaded weights on real models: the unit harness proves exact-value equality on tiny CPU fixtures, and the E2E test compares 8 greedy tokens on 2 prompts of TinyLlama. Staged-hook ordering bugs are deterministic weight corruption, so this PR adds a byte-exact detector where it is cheapest and widens the behavioral probe.

  • Weight manifest (tensorrt_llm/_torch/weight_sharing/weight_manifest.py): SHA-256 per registered parameter/buffer over canonical bytes (t.detach().reshape(-1).contiguous().cpu().view(torch.uint8)), plus dtype/shape/stride/storage_offset metadata, storage-alias partitions, skipped-tensor records, a whole-manifest digest, and manifest_format_version. Strictly stronger than assert_close(rtol=0, atol=0, equal_nan=True) (distinguishes signed zeros and NaN payloads). Inert unless MX_WEIGHT_MANIFEST_DIR + MX_WEIGHT_MANIFEST_ROLE are set; when active, every problem raises.
  • Two capture points: the final manifest at the single return of ModelLoader.load (after all post-load hooks and MoE load-balancer finalization, before warmup — the one path every role shares; cost recorded as weight_manifest_seconds), and the transfer manifest inside MXCheckpointLoader at receiver P2P success (now CUDA-synchronized first) and donor publish (outside the best-effort publish try).
  • E2E harness: helpers move to mx_harness.py + stdlib-only mx_evidence.py (model_express/ becomes a package). test_mx_donor_receiver now enforces the transfer tier (donor@publish == receiver@receive, parameters) and the final tier (baseline/donor/receiver pairwise byte-identical incl. buffers, skipped sets, alias partitions), with only a per-row documented final_manifest_exempt_patterns escape hatch (never a tolerance). The behavioral probe grows from 2×8 to 8 prompts × 32 greedy tokens (max_seq_len 64→128, max_num_tokens 64→256). Payloads, logs, manifests, and timing.json are archived under --output-dir (always set in CI), including on failure.
  • Unit tests: test_weight_manifest.py (contract + corruption-injection trio + non-contiguous/alias/meta/version/round-trip/env-gating), hook tests in test_model_loader_mx.py and test_mx_checkpoint_loader.py, test_mx_evidence.py, and a byte-level tightening of tests/unittest/utils/post_transform_qualification.py.

Design decisions worth a look: the transfer tier compares parameters only (TRANSFER_TIER_KINDS) because the receiver's cache_derived_state() runs after the P2P boundary, so derived buffers are enforced at the final tier; flip the constant if the first H100 run shows buffers are also identical at the boundary.

Test Coverage

Unit (CPU): tests/unittest/_torch/weight_sharing/test_weight_manifest.py, tests/unittest/_torch/weight_sharing/test_mx_evidence.py, additions in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_model_loader_mx.py and tests/unittest/_torch/models/checkpoints/mx/test_mx_checkpoint_loader.py; existing lifecycle tests now also assert byte equality.

E2E: model_express/test_model_express.py::test_mx_donor_receiver[*] on DGX_H100-2_GPUs-PyTorch-ModelExpress-1 (TP1) and DGX_H100-4_GPUs-PyTorch-ModelExpress-OnDemand-1 (TP2).

Measured on the H100 stage (to fill in): per role/rank manifest_final_seconds, manifest_transfer_seconds, bytes_hashed; load_seconds/generate_seconds before vs after the widening; per-test wall time before (.test_durations: llama tp1 149 s, tp2 157 s) vs after.

PR Checklist

  • Follows CODING_GUIDELINES.md; NVIDIA header on new files; git commit -s
  • Unit tests added; E2E test updated
  • Docs updated (docs/source/features/model-express.md)
  • JIRA number to be added to the title
  • Rebase onto main after [TRTLLM-14881][feat] qualify Mistral dense for MX #18558 (Mistral MX) merges; only _MX_CASES tail and the docs paragraph can conflict

Stacked follow-up: post-merge accuracy canaries (Lever 2/3 of the design doc).

Dev Engineer Review

  • Updated ModelLoader manifest handling and loading metrics.
  • No configuration or test-list files changed.
  • Review focus: validate manifest timing, lifecycle behavior, error handling, and compatibility with model reload behavior.

QA Engineer Review

Test code was not changed in the current change set.

The existing test-db entries cover the ModelExpress test:

  • tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_model_express.yml
    • test_mx_donor_receiver for Llama, Qwen2, and Qwen3 with TP1 and TP2.

Verdict: sufficient.

Add tensorrt_llm/_torch/weight_sharing/weight_manifest.py: a SHA-256 per-tensor
manifest of a root module's registered parameters and buffers with layout
metadata, storage-alias partitions, skipped-tensor records, a whole-manifest
digest, and a format version. It is env-gated by MX_WEIGHT_MANIFEST_DIR and
MX_WEIGHT_MANIFEST_ROLE so production loads never hash or write anything.

The comparison is byte-for-byte, deliberately stronger than the exact-value
equality of torch.testing.assert_close(rtol=0, atol=0, equal_nan=True): it
distinguishes signed zeros and NaN payloads. Unit tests pin the contract,
including a corruption-injection trio (single bit flip, +0.0 -> -0.0, NaN
payload change).

…aries

ModelLoader.load writes the final-state manifest once per rank at its single
return point, after every post-load hook and MoE load-balancer finalization
and before engine warmup, and records the cost as the weight_manifest_seconds
metric. MXCheckpointLoader writes the transfer-boundary manifest at the
receiver's full P2P success (now CUDA-synchronized first) and at the donor's
publish point, outside the best-effort publish guard so a manifest problem is
loud. Both hooks are no-ops unless MX_WEIGHT_MANIFEST_DIR is set.

The unit lifecycle harness additionally compares canonical tensor bytes so the
staged receiver is held to the same byte-level contract.

… probe

Move the reusable pieces of the ModelExpress E2E test into
tests/integration/defs/model_express/mx_harness.py and the stdlib-only
mx_evidence.py (transfer-log rules shared with the worker script), and make
tests/integration/defs/model_express a package.

test_mx_donor_receiver now also collects per-rank weight manifests from all
three roles and enforces two tiers: donor-at-publish and receiver-at-receive
parameters must be byte-identical, and the final manifests of baseline,
donor, and receiver must be pairwise byte-identical (parameters and buffers,
skipped sets, alias partitions), with only a per-row, documented exemption
mechanism and no numeric tolerance. The behavioral probe grows from 2 prompts
x 8 tokens to 8 prompts x 32 greedy tokens with engine limits raised to fit.
Payloads, logs, manifests, and timing are archived under --output-dir.

Worker evidence and validation
tests/integration/defs/model_express/mx_e2e_worker.py, tests/integration/defs/model_express/mx_evidence.py, tests/unittest/_torch/weight_sharing/test_mx_evidence.py
Adds deterministic prompt metadata, transfer-log parsing, rank coverage checks, failure detection, and parameter-count validation.
Qualification documentation
docs/source/features/model-express.md
Documents per-rank manifest matching, token checks, manifest contents, smoke-test artifacts, and timing metrics.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c5b8f

The PR adds opt-in byte-level weight manifests and broader ModelExpress checks while leaving normal runs unchanged. Reused output directories or retries could associate stale evidence with a later qualification run, weakening confidence in test conclusions; the change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to scope artifacts per attempt and address the remaining digest-validation and typing concerns.

Validate manifest_sha256 before you trust the comparison fast path.

WeightManifest.from_dict copies manifest_sha256 from the JSON payload without recomputing it from entries. The fast path here then returns an empty diff whenever the two stored digests are equal. If a manifest file on disk carries a stale or hand-edited digest, two manifests with different entries compare as identical and the qualification run reports a false match.

Recompute the digest at the parse boundary so the field cannot lie.

- Register the dynamically loaded mx_evidence module in sys.modules before
  executing it; dataclasses with postponed annotations fail otherwise.
- Count only entry lines (" expected=") in the describe() test; the counts line
  also contains "expected=" substrings.
- Mark CPU tests individually with cpu_only so the CUDA synchronization test
  is selected by GPU stages, which run with -m "not cpu_only".
- Validate manifest_sha256 against the entries when loading a manifest and
  stop trusting a stored digest in the compare fast path; add tests for a
  tampered file and a stale in-memory digest.
- Google-style docstrings for the public mx_evidence interfaces, nn.Module
  annotation for the MX transfer-manifest helper, and return annotations on
  the new tests and helpers.

Overall LGTM. Thanks!

Just a heads up: #17029 will be merged soon.

The new receiver-side _synchronize_cuda_for_mx_publish() is outside the manifest environment gate, so every successful production MX receiver load pays a device-wide synchronization even when MX_WEIGHT_MANIFEST_DIR is unset. That contradicts the no-op contract, and enabled qualification runs synchronize twice because build_weight_manifest() already synchronizes all CUDA devices before hashing.

We could remove or gate the receiver-only sync and rely on the manifest builder while capture is active.

SkippedTensor records kind, dtype, and shape, but the comparator drops all three and compares only (fqn, reason). Two roles can therefore skip the same FQN for the same reason while disagreeing on whether it is a parameter or buffer, its dtype, or its shape, and the qualification still passes.

Please compare the complete skipped records, or at least FQN/kind/reason/dtype/shape, and add a same-reason/different-metadata regression test.

nit: The docs promise that timing.json is archived even when the qualification fails, but report_timings() runs only after every token, transfer-evidence, and manifest assertion succeeds. A failure therefore archives no timing file. Let's try to emit best-effort partial timing data from the cleanup path.
