📌 Description

Fuse NVFP4 input quantization and route staging for Rubin MegaMoE, and use a fused checker for expert-ID bounds, duplicate routes and finite scores. Standard MegaMoE and GenPhase share these preparation paths.

The routing checker reuses compiled code across token counts and keeps separate assertion buffers for each captured shape. Unsupported layouts and dtypes retain the Torch path.

🚀 Pull Request Checklist

Thank you for contributing to FlashInfer! Before we review your pull request, please make sure the following items are complete.

✅ Pre-commit Checks

  • I have installed pre-commit by running pip install pre-commit (or used your preferred method).
  • I have installed the hooks with pre-commit install.
  • I have run the hooks manually with pre-commit run --all-files and fixed any reported issues.

If you are unsure about how to set up pre-commit, see the pre-commit documentation.

🧪 Tests

  • Tests have been added or updated as needed.
  • All tests are passing (unittest, etc.).

🔬 Experimental Track

  • This PR is experimental: it adds or changes code under flashinfer/experimental/ and/or an @flashinfer_experimental_api. Tracking issue: #
    • The tracking issue names an owner, the reason for the experimental path, and a graduation plan with a target release.
    • Core changes are limited to a thin entry point (signature, shared validation, feature-gate check, backend selection, handoff).
    • Tests live in tests/experimental/ and were validated on the intended hardware; a runnable example is included.
    • Nothing is registered in flashinfer/aot.py, and no experimental backend is reachable from backend="auto" without FLASHINFER_ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_AUTO_BACKENDS=1. (Calling an @flashinfer_experimental_api or naming a backend explicitly is itself the opt-in and needs no environment variable.)
    • Test scope declared below. The experimental CI lane runs exactly these targets, so keep them as narrow as the change allows.
# One target per line: a directory or a file. (A pytest ::selector is not
# supported -- the sharding runner cannot consume one.) Must be under
# tests/experimental/ and must exist. Delete these comment lines and add yours, e.g.
#
#   tests/experimental/test_my_backend.py
#   tests/experimental/my_backend/
#
# Declaring the whole tree (tests/experimental/) is allowed but means every
# experimental PR pays for every other feature's tests, in every matrix cell.

Reviewer Notes

The staging-helper changes are in a separate commit so they can be dropped when the kernel refresh includes them.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes add fused NVFP4 staging and cached routing validation for eligible inputs. They also restrict GenPhase scheduling to grouped policies, update tuning-cache revision handling, and add or adjust tests for these paths.

Changes: MoE input preparation

Layer / File(s) Summary
NVFP4 scale handling
flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm100/cutedsl_megamoe/shim/quant_stage.py, flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm100/cutedsl_megamoe/src/src/inputs_process.py, flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm100/cutedsl_megamoe/VENDOR.md
The staging interface accepts an optional NVFP4 scale multiplier and includes tensor layout and scale settings in its cache keys. The quantization kernel uses the multiplier for block-scale calculation when provided.
Fused NVFP4 staging
flashinfer/moe_ep/backends/mega/kernel/sm107/nvfp4_nvfp4_bf16_cutedsl/*, tests/moe_ep/test_sm107_preparation.py, tests/moe_ep/test_sm107_torch_staging.py, flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm107/next_cutedsl_megamoe/shim/block_scaled.py
The staging entry point selects fused quantization for eligible inputs and passes a normalization-derived scale multiplier. Tests compare fused and unfused outputs and check graph replay behavior. NVFP4 workspace destruction clears staged-token state.
Fused routing validation
flashinfer/moe_ep/backends/mega/kernel/sm107/{routing_validation.py,validation.py}, flashinfer/moe_ep/backends/mega/kernel/sm107/{mxfp8_mxfp8_bf16_cutedsl,nvfp4_nvfp4_bf16_cutedsl}/backend.py, flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm107/next_cutedsl_megamoe/shim/block_scaled.py, tests/moe_ep/test_sm107_{preparation.py,block_scaled_contracts.py}, CLAUDE.md
Eligible routing tensors use a cached CUDA checker. Backend calls pass the workspace, which stores and clears routing-check state. Tests cover validation and graph replay. The environment-variable reference documents the fused checker options.

GenPhase scheduling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grouped scheduling policy
flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm107/next_cutedsl_megamoe/shim/{block_scaled.py,autotune.py}, flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm107/next_cutedsl_megamoe/{SKILL.md,TUNING.md,VENDOR.md}, tests/moe_ep/test_sm107_{runtime_options.py,genphase_cga2_kernel.py,genphase_kernel.py}, tests/moe_ep/test_moe_ep_sm107_block_scaled_mega_multirank.py
GenPhase rejects phase-interleave schedules and uses grouped candidates with grid-stride or atomic-counter work IDs. Tests and scheduling guidance reflect the restriction. Inference candidates remain phase-interleaved.
Tuning-cache revisions
flashinfer/moe_ep/kernel_src/sm107/next_cutedsl_megamoe/{VENDOR.md,shim/knob_cache.py}, tests/moe_ep/test_sm107_block_scaled_contracts.py
Cache entries use separate revisions for inference and GenPhase. GenPhase lookup accepts compatible grouped entries from both revisions, skips unsupported schedules, and prefers the current revision when entries overlap.

<Retain the live-count memo across staging paths.

note_staged_tokens(topk_idx_out, capacity) resets the eager memo before every fused call. For repeated partial batches, _mask_tail_and_note then launches a full tail fill each time.

The prequantized branch already clears the full tail, but it updates only the workspace count. Update the shared quant-stage memo after every staging path, then remove the conservative capacity reset. Keep the graph-capture behavior unchanged: captured buffers intentionally perform the full fill on replay.

Make replay validation observable.

The test mutates ids to -1, which is a valid masked route. It does not mutate scores. The later validate_routing_values(ids.clone(), scores.clone(), ...) call validates different tensor objects and can pass independently.

Therefore, a replay that skips validation or reuses captured values can pass this test. Make the replay check observe the fused checker result with a mutation that produces a distinguishable result. Do not rely on the later eager validation.

…uster grid

Sm107BlockScaledMoeConfig rejects max_sm_count together with a
fallback_cluster_shape_mn, because mixed-CGA occupancy is resolved from
the hardware probe. Every tuned and heuristic NVFP4 EP4 knob set names
fallback (2, 1), so any SM budget failed when the workspace was built.
make_workspace_config now drops the fallback cluster, giving a uniform
cluster launch, whenever a budget is set. The budget itself is passed
through unchanged (an int, as before). The helper is shared by the SM107
backends, so an MXFP8 workspace with a budget is launched uniformly too
instead of raising.

Why: a persistent megakernel on all SMs leaves nothing for a concurrent
side-stream workload. vLLM runs the DSv4 shared-expert MLP on a side stream
next to the MegaMoE; capping the megakernel lets both run at once.

Measured (VR200, DSv4.1 NVFP4 checkpoint):
- one MoE layer at EP4 with the shared-expert MLP on a side stream
  (CUDA-graph replay, cold L2; budget points from one sweep run, serial
  points from a 3-rep run):
  - 1536 tokens/rank (capacity 2048): 263 us with 180 SMs vs 273 us with
    all SMs, and 304 us with the shared expert run serially;
  - 3072 tokens/rank (capacity 4096): 343 us with 148 SMs vs 365 us with
    all SMs, and 380 us serially;
- per step (EP4 layer times, cold, summed over 21 layers x 2046 + 19
  layers x 1260 tokens/rank; a later build of the original flashinfer-ai#6499 series,
  which also had the staging and reduce commits now covered by flashinfer-ai#6398 and
  flashinfer-ai#6447): 9.87 ms at 196 SMs, 9.93 ms at 180, 10.28 ms at 148;
- serving (4 GPUs, concurrency 1024) at 196 vs 180 SMs: +1.0 % TPS/GPU
  and +0.7 % interactivity on the same node.
That later build also added the shared-expert output inside a deferred
top-k reduce, which this series does not have (bit-identical to a
separate add and within about 1 us per layer of it at 1260 and 2046
tokens/rank).

Gate: only when max_sm_count is set. The default None is unchanged.

…vided buffers (out=)

Adds out=(fp4_out, sf_out) to nvfp4_quantize_cute_dsl, so callers can
quantize straight into preallocated buffers such as a symmetric-memory
workspace. With out=None the function allocates exactly as before. Given
buffers are checked against the dtype, contiguity, device and size the
selected kernel path writes; the returned tensors are views of them. The
empty-input early return honours out= the same way.

Why: a caller that stages into a workspace otherwise quantizes into
temporaries and copies both planes. In the original flashinfer-ai#6499 series the SM107
MegaMoE NVFP4 staging used it to remove 2 DtoD copies (about 3 us) per MoE
layer (VR200, EP4, 2304 tokens/rank). That staging is now covered by the
fused staging of flashinfer-ai#6398, so this commit adds only the API. The quantizer
kernels themselves are unchanged.

Gate: none; an additive keyword.

…h arguments

The per-call NVFP4 epilogue scalars (fc1_alpha, fc2_alpha, fc1_norm_const)
were copied into the workspace tensors on every call, which is 3 DtoD
launches per MoE layer. Contiguous fp32 [E_local] tensors on the workspace
device are now bound directly as launch arguments. Other values are still
copied, and an omitted scalar still resets the workspace tensor to ones; the
launch then uses the workspace tensor, so a pooled workspace never reuses a
stale value.

The bound pointers are part of the launch key (ahead of the stream), so a
different binding re-binds the launch arguments on the host, without a
recompile. Callers must keep the tensors alive while launches or captured
graphs use them; the qualification guide states this.

The offline autotuner and the sampled correctness oracle now read the
bound tensors too. Otherwise they would time and check against unit
scalars: the existing nvfp4 in-situ kernel-vs-reference test case fails
with rel error 2.38 without this.

Measured (VR200, EP4, 2304 tokens/rank, kineto): 3 copies removed, about
4 us per MoE layer in the graph; bound and copied scalars bit-identical
(max abs diff 0.0 at capacity:rows 128:6 to 3072:2520, non-unit
per-expert scalars).
Per MoE layer at EP4 on the original flashinfer-ai#6499 series (which also had the
staging and reduce commits now covered by flashinfer-ai#6398 and flashinfer-ai#6447), previous
commit -> this commit (one DSv4.1 MoE layer with checkpoint weights and
uniform random top-6 routes, shared-expert MLP overlapped under a 196-SM
budget, CUDA-graph replay with cold L2, p50 of the slowest of the 4
ranks, median of 2 runs):
237.9 -> 231.1 us at 1260 tokens/rank (capacity 3072), 268.2 -> 261.2 us
at 2046 (capacity 2048), -8.7 us at 2304 (capacity 3072) and -4.2 us at
4608 (capacity 6144); outputs bit-identical on all 4 ranks.
Both arms also added the shared-expert output inside a deferred top-k
reduce, which this series does not have (bit-identical to a separate
add and within 4.5 us per layer of it at these sizes).

Gate: none.

## 📌 Description

Rubin MegaMoE rejects NaN and infinite routing scores even when the
expert ID is `-1` and the slot is unused. Allow those scores for masked
slots and stage them as zero without modifying the caller’s tensors. By
default, active routes require finite scores, valid expert IDs and no
duplicates.

Use a route-staging kernel for prequantized NVFP4/MXFP8 inputs.
BF16-to-MXFP8 staging quantizes activations and writes routes directly
into the workspace, with the same scale rounding as the Torch path.
Unsupported layouts retain Torch staging.

Set `FLASHINFER_SM107_MEGA_CHECK_ROUTES=0` to skip routing value checks
when the caller guarantees valid routing. Metadata checks and
masked-score zeroing still run. Set it before warmup and CUDA graph
capture.

- [x] I have installed `pre-commit` by running `pip install pre-commit`
(or used your preferred method).
- [x] I have installed the hooks with `pre-commit install`.
- [x] I have run the hooks manually with `pre-commit run --all-files`
and fixed any reported issues.

> If you are unsure about how to set up `pre-commit`, see [the
pre-commit documentation](https://pre-commit.com/).

## 🧪 Tests

- [x] Tests have been added or updated as needed.
- [x] All tests are passing (`unittest`, etc.).

## 🔬 Experimental Track

<!-- Only for PRs submitted under the experimental policy
(CONTRIBUTING.md → "Experimental APIs and Backends").
     Leave this section untouched for normal PRs. -->

- [ ] This PR is **experimental**: it adds or changes code under
`flashinfer/experimental/` and/or an `@flashinfer_experimental_api`.
Tracking issue: #
- [ ] The tracking issue names an owner, the reason for the experimental
path, and a graduation plan with a target release.
- [ ] Core changes are limited to a thin entry point (signature, shared
validation, feature-gate check, backend selection, handoff).
- [ ] Tests live in `tests/experimental/` and were validated on the
intended hardware; a runnable example is included.
- [ ] Nothing is registered in `flashinfer/aot.py`, and no experimental
backend is reachable from `backend="auto"` without
`FLASHINFER_ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_AUTO_BACKENDS=1`. (Calling an
`@flashinfer_experimental_api` or naming a backend explicitly is itself
the opt-in and needs no environment variable.)
- [ ] **Test scope declared below.** The experimental CI lane runs
exactly these targets, so keep them as narrow as the change allows.

<!-- Required for experimental PRs. Replace the commented lines below
with your targets.
Do not delete the fence or change its `experimental-tests` tag — the
experimental-track
watcher reads it verbatim to decide which targets to ask CI for. -->

```experimental-tests
# One target per line: a directory or a file. (A pytest ::selector is not
# supported -- the sharding runner cannot consume one.) Must be under
# tests/experimental/ and must exist. Delete these comment lines and add yours, e.g.
#
#   tests/experimental/test_my_backend.py
#   tests/experimental/my_backend/
#
# Declaring the whole tree (tests/experimental/) is allowed but means every
# experimental PR pays for every other feature's tests, in every matrix cell.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Eligible BF16 inputs can use fused quantization and staging for NVFP4
or MXFP8. Unsupported layouts continue to use Torch staging, and fused
staging can be disabled with a setting.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Masked routes (expert ID `-1`) now accept NaN or infinite routing
scores, which are treated as zero during staging without modifying
caller tensors.
* Non-finite scores on active routes remain invalid when routing checks
are enabled. A setting can skip route-value checks while retaining
metadata checks and masked-score zeroing.
