Conversation
…: Keep DeepSeek-V4 TP decode all-reduces off NCCL DeepSeek-V4 TP decoder layers issued two NCCL all-reduces per layer that NCCL 2.31.2 (pulled in by the PyTorch 26.09 base image) no longer runs on its symmetric kernel for small, unregistered inputs. The 57 KB decode messages fell back to 1-channel RING/LL, which regressed GB300 DSv4 TEP8 gen_only device step time by ~18% on main. - Drop the pre-MoE fused all-reduce. The attention output projection (o_b_proj) already reduces across TP, so this all-reduce only scaled a replicated tensor by tp_size ahead of an RMSNorm that cancels the scale. - Pass the model dtype to the MoE output AllReduce so AUTO can select MNNVL AllReduce on multi-node TP, as o_b_proj already does. The unit test is adapted to release/1.3, whose decoder layer builds DeepseekV4Attention and mHC directly instead of through the attention_cls / _make_mhc hooks.

Decoder fusion settings no longer depend on the environment variable or attention-DP mode, and pre-MoE fusion is disabled. Tests cover all-reduce configuration and decoder reduction behavior.

…n reduction and AUTO MNNVL selection Address review feedback on the DeepSeek-V4 all-reduce fix: - Run DeepseekV4DecoderLayer.forward with a recording attention stub and check the runtime reduction request: attention reduces its output exactly once under TP, and the MoE input is not reduced again. - Rename the forward_MoE test to what it checks. - Check at the AllReduce level that AUTO on a multi-node TP mapping builds MNNVLAllReduce when given a dtype, and does not without one. Against the unfixed model file the decoder-forward and MoE tests fail (redundant pre-MoE all-reduce, missing MoE dtype); with the fix all pass.

Thanks @coderabbitai. Both nitpicks were valid and are addressed in 288ee5a (test-only, no change to the model code):

Description
This cherry-picks #20233 to release/1.3 for https://nvbugs/6919428. The fix makes DeepSeek-V4 tensor-parallel decode stop issuing two NCCL all-reduces per decoder layer.
Why release/1.3 needs it. release/1.3 is still on the PyTorch 26.08 image (NCCL 2.30.7), so the 18% GB300 DSv4-Pro TEP8 regression seen on main has not landed here yet. It will land with #20146, which backports the 26.09 image and brings NCCL 2.31.2. NCCL 2.31.2 no longer runs small unregistered-input all-reduces on its symmetric kernel and falls back to 1-channel RING/LL instead. Each DSv4 decode message is 57 KB, and across all decoder layers the fallback adds about 2.2 ms per decode step. Main has the full root-cause analysis in #20233.
On release/1.3 the change also removes a redundant collective that exists independently of NCCL:
o_b_proj, becauseproject_sparse_attn_outputignoresall_reduce_params. The pre-MoE all-reduce therefore summed a tensor that was already replicated, which scales it bytp_sizejust ahead of an RMSNorm that cancels the scale.dtype=config.torch_dtypeto theDeepseekV4MoEAllReduce. Under AUTO, a multi-node TP group can then useMNNVLAllReduce, aso_b_projalready does.The model-code change is line-for-line identical to #20233. The unit test differs only where release/1.3's decoder layer differs from main: it builds
DeepseekV4AttentionandmHCdirectly instead of through theattention_cls/_make_mhchooks, so the test patches those names.Test Coverage

L0_MergeRequest_PRpipeline failed at build 204. No current review findings were supplied.QA Engineer Review
The modified unit-test file adds decoder-forward coverage for attention’s reduction request, MoE output reduction, and the absence of other all-reduces across TP1, TP4, and TP4+ADP, with eager fusion on and off. It also tests AUTO’s MNNVL selection when dtype is supplied and its behavior when dtype is absent. The test file is listed in CI test lists for B200 and DGX B200. A DeepSeek-V4 sanity selector is listed for RTX Pro 6000.
The author reports that 60 tests passed on the release/1.3 CI wheel, excluding GPU
test_deepseek_v4_sanitycases. The author also reports that the accuracy test passed with and without the change. These results are author-reported; the reported release/1.3 pipeline failed. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the targeted reduction and all-reduce behavior.Per-File QA Perspective
