📌 Description

Consolidates the CuTe-DSL fused MoE implementation behind dtype-agnostic APIs

  • Routes W4A4 and W4A8 through the same blockscaled GEMM dispatch path in fused_moe.py.
  • Consolidates the public API into cute_dsl_fused_moe and CuteDslMoEWrapper, selected with quant_mode="w4a4", "w4a8", or "w4a16".
  • Replaces dtype-suffixed low-level entry points with unsuffixed blockscaled APIs.
  • Preserves deprecated NVFP4 and MXFP8/MXFP4 APIs through compatibility aliases/adapters that emit actionable DeprecationWarnings.
  • Preserves SM107/Rubin support for W4A4 and W4A16 while explicitly rejecting W4A8.
  • Removes the duplicate MXFP8/MXFP4 fused-MoE implementation, tuner, split backend, and redundant tests.
  • Retains activation, bias, routing, wrapper, functional API, and dtype-specific coverage in the consolidated tests.

Overall diff versus main: approximately 1,800 net lines removed.

Reviewer Notes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Unified CuTe DSL fused MoE support across W4A4, W4A8, and W4A16 quantization modes.
    • Added optional MXFP8 pre-dispatch packing for supported distributed MoE workflows.
    • Added W4A8 tactic selection, validation, and tuning support.
  • API Updates

    • Introduced unified cute_dsl_fused_moe and CuteDslRunner APIs.
    • Previous API names remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases with warnings.
  • Documentation

    • Updated API and architecture documentation for unified block-scaled MoE support.

Consolidate W4A4 and W4A8 on the dtype-agnostic blockscaled API and fused_moe backend while retaining warning aliases for deprecated dtype-specific APIs.

BREAKING CHANGE: use cute_dsl_fused_moe, CuteDslMoEWrapper, and quant_mode="w4a4" or "w4a8" instead of dtype-specific APIs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CuTe DSL fused MoE support is unified across W4A4, W4A8, and W4A16 modes. The change adds MXFP4 weight preparation and MXFP8 dispatch packing, renames APIs and backend keys, preserves compatibility aliases, removes the dedicated SM100 split path, and updates tests and documentation.

Changes

Unified CuTe DSL MoE support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unified API and kernel execution
flashinfer/fused_moe/cute_dsl/..., flashinfer/fused_moe/api.py, flashinfer/fused_moe/__init__.py
The unified API supports W4A4, W4A8, and W4A16. W4A8 validation, dtype selection, fused-finalize checks, and compatibility aliases are added.
Quantization, runners, and tuning
flashinfer/fused_moe/prepare.py, flashinfer/fused_moe/runners.py, flashinfer/fused_moe/cute_dsl/tuner.py, flashinfer/fused_moe/layer.py
Weight preparation uses variant-specific layouts and the cute_dsl backend key. Unified runners support MXFP4 and W4A8 tactics.
MXFP8 dispatch and split-kernel consolidation
flashinfer/moe_ep/backends/split/kernel/fused_moe/*, flashinfer/moe_ep/backends/split/kernel/sm100/*
The split bridge packs and unpacks MXFP8 dispatch payloads. The dedicated SM100 MXFP8 CuTe DSL split backend and exports are removed.
Trace, documentation, and integrations
flashinfer/trace/templates/moe.py, docs/api/fused_moe.rst, docs/design_docs/*, benchmarks/*
Trace templates, documentation, benchmarks, and API checks use the unified names and quantization modes.
Validation coverage
tests/moe/test_cute_dsl_fused_moe.py, tests/moe/test_cute_dsl_moe_can_implement.py, tests/moe/test_unified_moe.py, tests/moe_ep/*
Tests cover W4A8 contracts, tactic separation, MXFP4 packing, runner behavior, numerical output, and MXFP8 dispatch validation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 53fb4

The PR consolidates dtype-agnostic MoE dispatch and compatibility APIs; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

bare decorator. Include the constructor’s relevant parameters so fi_trace() and
benchmark-definition dumping work for this public API.

- Around line 157-173: Update the W4A8 validation around x_sf, w1_weight_sf, and
w2_weight_sf to require torch.uint8 dtype in addition to the existing shape and
stride checks. Raise a clear TypeError for any invalid scale tensor before the
generic GEMM executes, while preserving the current validation for
token_final_scales and tensor layouts.

- Around line 3637-3639: Update the W4A8 scale tensor descriptors in
cute_dsl_fused_moe_trace, including w1_weight_sf and its corresponding scale
tensor, to match the six-dimensional MMA layout emitted by
convert_sf_to_mma_layout, ensuring axis extraction uses the MMA block dimensions
rather than the current three-dimensional logical shape.

In `@tests/moe/test_unified_moe.py`:
- Line 1105: Update the pytest.raises assertion’s match argument to use a raw
regular-expression literal, preserving the existing W4A8.*SM107 pattern and
NotImplementedError expectation.

PR Review Screening

CI verdict: ✅ auto-run ok
Review category: live (rule fired: C3.2 durable — the PR reshapes the CuTe-DSL MoE dispatch convention and the runner backend_key registry, and retires a whole moe_ep split backend; that is a design decision embedded in code)
Blocking checks: none
Release blocker: no
Early stop: no

Security

Q Answer Evidence
S1 injection/supply-chain no
S2 template overwritten no all 5 template headers present
S3 template obligations met 8/9 boxes checked; the unchecked one ("full suite not run") is an honest disclosure, and tests/ is non-empty
S4 agent-directing text no

Packaging

Q Answer Evidence
C1.1 external dependency bump no no requirements/pyproject/submodule/action changes
C1.2 public API changes yes — extension of existing shape (+ one breaking removal) see signatures below
C1.3 AOT/trace registration no gap no new gen_*_module(); cute_dsl_fused_moe_trace renamed in flashinfer/trace/templates/moe.py and tests/trace/template_registry.py updated

C1.2 signatures (before → after)

  • flashinfer/fused_moe/runners.py: class CuteDslNvfp4Runner(MoERunner) (backend_key="cute_dsl_nvfp4") → class CuteDslRunner(MoERunner) (backend_key="cute_dsl", supported_quant_variants += QuantVariant.MXFP4) — extension; old name via module __getattr__ deprecation shim.
  • flashinfer/fused_moe/prepare.py / api.py: prepare_cute_dsl_nvfp4_weights(w1_bf16, w2_bf16, *, num_local_experts, hidden_size, intermediate_size, activation=None, device=None)prepare_cute_dsl_weights(…, *, variant: QuantVariant = QuantVariant.NVFP4, …) — extension; CuteDslConfig.prepare_weights gains the same variant kwarg.
  • flashinfer/moe_ep/__init__.py: Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig and the moe_ep.backends.split.kernel.sm100 subpackage removed with no alias — the one non-back-compatible public change.

Implementation

Q Answer Evidence

C3.4 critical fix / release blocker no no hang/crash/corruption/regression claim

Notes for the maintainer

  • The deprecation shims are thorough (functional API, wrapper, runner, weight prep), so the migration cost lands almost entirely on the removed Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig / kernel.sm100 path — worth confirming no downstream serving stack imports it.
  • Four test files are deleted, including tests/moe_ep/test_moe_ep_mxfp8_dispatch_multirank.py; the multi-rank EP dispatch scenario does not obviously reappear in the consolidated tests. Worth asking where that coverage went.
  • scripts/pr_checks/check_api_docs.py drops its DOC_IGNORE entry entirely — a small hygiene tightening bundled into a large refactor.

This is the one rename in the PR that lands as a hard break. Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig was in __all__ here (88 entries) and in moe_ep/modes/__init__.py (13 entries), so from flashinfer.moe_ep import Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig now raises ImportError rather than warning — while CuteDslNvfp4Runner, cute_dsl_fused_moe_nvfp4, cute_dsl_fused_moe_mxfp8_mxfp4, CuteDslMxfp8Mxfp4MoEWrapper, prepare_cute_dsl_nvfp4_weights and even quant_mode="nvfp4" all kept a DeprecationWarning shim. Was the asymmetry deliberate?

Restoring the __all__ entry, for compatibility:

Suggested change
"Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp8_Bf16_Cutedsl_MegaMoeConfig",
"Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp8_Bf16_Cutedsl_MegaMoeConfig",
"Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig",

backed by a module-level __getattr__, matching the pattern this PR already uses at flashinfer/fused_moe/runners.py:4032 (PEP 562 lets __all__ name an attribute served this way, so import * keeps working):

def __getattr__(name: str):
    # Retained for compatibility: exported in __all__ prior to the CuTe-DSL
    # MoE consolidation. Superseded by FusedMoeKernelConfig.
    if name == "Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig":
        import warnings

        warnings.warn(
            "Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig is deprecated; use "
            "FusedMoeKernelConfig(moe_config=..., mxfp8_dispatch=...) instead.",
            DeprecationWarning,
            stacklevel=2,
        )
        return FusedMoeKernelConfig
    raise AttributeError(f"module {__name__!r} has no attribute {name!r}")

FusedMoeKernelConfig is already imported at line 138 and warnings is imported locally elsewhere in this file (line 352), so no new top-level imports are needed.

One caveat worth deciding on explicitly: this is import-compatible, not call-compatible. The old dataclass defaulted every field (kernel_name, enable_pdl, tactic, mxfp8_dispatch), so Sm100_Mxfp8_Mxfp4_Bf16_Cutedsl_SplitConfig() was valid; FusedMoeKernelConfig requires moe_config. Callers therefore get a DeprecationWarning naming the replacement instead of a bare ImportError, but still have to supply a moe_config. If you'd rather not imply more compatibility than exists, a __getattr__ that raises with the same migration text is the honest alternative — either beats the current silent removal.

The likeliest external importer is the vLLM integration described in docs/design_docs/vllm_moe_ep_integration.md; docs/design_docs/moe_ep_architecture.md also documents this config by name and would need updating either way.

Resolves two conflicts introduced by flashinfer-ai#4793 ("Unify MoE CuTe DSL dispatch to be
dtype agnostic") and flashinfer-ai#4646.

flashinfer/fused_moe/runners.py
  flashinfer-ai#4793 replaced CuteDslNvfp4Runner with the dtype-agnostic CuteDslRunner
  (NVFP4 + MXFP4/W4A8 + W4A16) and added three W4A8 checks to _check_support().
  Kept both sides: upstream's checks stay, and _assert_rubin_cute_dsl_available()
  is called after them.

  Because the probe now lives on a runner serving three quant variants rather
  than on the NVFP4-only class, it is explicitly scoped to NVFP4 to preserve its
  original blast radius. MXFP4/W4A8 is already declined on SM107 by upstream's
  new check, and W4A16 gates itself through require_cute_dsl_arch(); widening
  the rubin_helpers probe to those paths would be a behaviour change this branch
  never intended.

tests/moe/test_cute_dsl_fused_moe.py
  flashinfer-ai#4793 renamed cute_dsl_fused_moe_nvfp4 -> cute_dsl_fused_moe at this call
  site. Kept our SM107 SiTU skip and took upstream's new name. The three
  remaining cute_dsl_fused_moe_nvfp4 references are upstream's own deprecation
  test and are unchanged.

No functional change to either side's intent.

…on main) (#4903)

## 📌 Description


`tests/moe/test_unified_moe_activation_matrix.py::test_documented_activation_matrix_matches_runner_registry`
is failing on `main`, which blocks CI for **every open PR**:

```
AssertionError: docs/design_docs/flashinfer_moe_api.md is stale;
run: python scripts/generate_moe_activation_matrix.py --write
```

This is a **semantic merge conflict**, not a defect in any single PR.
#4805 added the generator, its check test, and a matrix block rendered
from `_BACKEND_RUNNERS` as it stood on that PR's base. Two changes
landed on `main` in between, and neither could have known to re-render
the block:

| Change | Effect on the matrix |
|---|---|
| #4793 (`f7d4b167`) | renamed `CuteDslRunner.backend_key`
`cute_dsl_nvfp4` → `cute_dsl` and added `QuantVariant.MXFP4` to its
supported variants |
| #4646 (`0cbace05`) | registered `CuTileBf16Runner` /
`CuTileNvfp4Runner` in `_BACKEND_RUNNERS` |

Each PR was green on its own base; the merged tree is what is stale.
Because the check compares the committed block against the live
registry, it has been red for everyone since #4805 merged.

## 🔍 Change

Only the generated block changes — this commit is the mechanical output
of the documented regeneration command:

```
python scripts/generate_moe_activation_matrix.py --write
```

- adds `cutile_bf16` (`BF16`) and `cutile_nvfp4` (`NVFP4`), both
`SwiGLU`, `ReLU2`
- replaces the two `cute_dsl_nvfp4` rows with three `cute_dsl` rows
(`MXFP4`, `NVFP4`, `W4A16`)

No source, test, or prose changes.

## 🧪 Testing

The authoritative check is
`test_documented_activation_matrix_matches_runner_registry`, which runs
in this PR's own CI.

## 🔗 Related

Surfaced while triaging CI on #4387, whose H100 job ran the full suite
with 221,273 passing and this as the sole failure.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Updated the MoE activation matrix table to document MXFP4, NVFP4, and
W4A16 support across additional activation functions.
* Added documented BF16 and NVFP4 configuration entries for CuTile
implementations.
