What does this PR do?

DeepseekV4Model.load_weights in both vllm/models/deepseek_v4/nvidia/model.py and vllm/models/deepseek_v4/amd/model.py walks expert_mapping and assigns name_mapped inside the loop. When no entry matches (e.g. a quantization-specific layout like .tq_packed outside the standard gate_proj / up_proj / down_proj set), the loop falls through without binding name_mapped, and loaded_params.add(name_mapped) raises UnboundLocalError.

Track a success = False flag initialized before the loop and skip the add when no mapping succeeded. This also covers the silent-failure paths where a mapping does match but is_pp_missing_parameter or weight_loader returns False; those were previously appending a stale name_mapped from a different iteration. Shape matches the sibling deepseek_v4_mtp.py expert-loading path, which adds to loaded_params only inside the if success: branch.

After #43004 ([Model Refactoring] Migrate DeepSeek V4 to vllm/models/ [1/N]) the single vllm/model_executor/models/deepseek_v4.py file split into per-backend forks under vllm/models/deepseek_v4/{amd,nvidia}/model.py, and both forks carry the same buggy expert-loading block. The same fix is applied to both.

Replaces #42804 (against the pre-migration vllm/model_executor/models/deepseek_v4.py).

Closes #42769

Test Plan

  • Existing DeepSeek V4 load_weights coverage via CI.

Duplicate-work check

gh pr list --repo vllm-project/vllm --state open --search "deepseek_v4 expert mapping name_mapped" returns nothing else for #42769. Pre-migration sibling #42804 is being closed in favor of this PR.

AI Assistance Disclosure

Drafted with Claude assistance. I am the human contributor accountable for this PR; I read every changed line, confirmed the AMD and NVIDIA forks carry byte-identical buggy blocks in the relevant region, and verified the if success: pattern matches the precedent in deepseek_v4_mtp.py.

…D + NVIDIA)

When a tensor name contains `.experts.` but no entry in `expert_mapping`
matches its weight_name suffix (e.g. a quantization-specific layout like
`.tq_packed` outside the standard gate_proj/up_proj/down_proj set), the
for loop falls through without ever binding `name_mapped`, and the next
line `loaded_params.add(name_mapped)` raises `UnboundLocalError`.

Track a `success` flag initialized before the loop and skip the add
when no mapping succeeded. This also covers the silent-failure
scenarios where a mapping does match but `is_pp_missing_parameter` or
`weight_loader` returns False; those were previously appending a stale
`name_mapped` to `loaded_params`. The shape matches the sibling
`deepseek_v4_mtp.py` expert-loading path, which adds to `loaded_params`
only inside the `if success:` branch.

After vllm-project#43004 ([Model Refactoring] Migrate DeepSeek V4 to vllm/models/)
the single `vllm/model_executor/models/deepseek_v4.py` file split into
per-backend forks under `vllm/models/deepseek_v4/{amd,nvidia}/model.py`,
and both forks carry the same buggy expert-loading block. The same fix
is applied to both files.

Then, commit the changes and push to your branch.

For future commits, pre-commit will run automatically on changed files before each commit.

Tip

Is mypy failing?
mypy is run differently in CI. If the failure is related to this check, please use the following command to run it locally:
# For mypy (substitute "3.10" with the failing version if needed)
pre-commit run --hook-stage manual mypy-3.10
