Routes CPU MoE on AMD Zen through a zentorch-backed fused MoE path in CPUFusedMOE, ahead of the existing AMX grouped-GEMM / OneDNN / per-expert PyTorch fallbacks:

  • forward_zentorch — MoE FFN via torch.ops.zentorch.zentorch_fused_moe (standard [E, ...] expert weights; no cpu_prepack_moe_weight).
  • is_zentorch_moe_supported() — capability check at CPUFusedMOE init: op registered, moe_config.is_act_and_mul when present, and activation in {silu, gelu, gelu_tanh, swigluoai}.

Dispatch gates on current_platform.is_zen_cpu() plus has_zentorch_op(["zentorch_fused_moe"]). When supported, __init__ sets forward_method = forward_zentorch and isa = "none" and returns early (no weight prepack). On Zen CPU when zentorch is unavailable or the layer is unsupported, init logs once and falls through to forward_grouped_gemm / forward_torch as today. No behaviour change on non-Zen CPUs, GPUs, or XPU.

Also adds _gelu_tanh_and_mul to _CPU_MOE_ACT_FN so the native CPU MoE path supports gelu_tanh when the zentorch fast path is not taken (e.g. Gemma 4).

Hi @Priyjain-amd, the pre-commit checks have failed. Please run:

uv pip install pre-commit>=4.5.1
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-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

- Drop `_moe_activation_to_str`; normalize activation inline via `str(...).lower()`
- Move `is_zentorch_moe_supported` skip logs from info to debug with clearer messages
- Remove redundant info_once log in `CPUFusedMOE.__init__`
- Add tests for zentorch MoE dispatch selection and the `forward_zentorch` path

Rebase onto main after cpu_fused_moe.py was removed (vllm-project#50133) and port
the zentorch MoE path into CPUUnquantizedExperts:

- Gate dispatch via is_zentorch_moe_supported() in
  process_weights_after_loading() (skip weight prepack when active)
- Call torch.ops.zentorch.zentorch_fused_moe from apply() when enabled
- Allow zentorch-eligible configs in is_supported_config() (including
  X86/Arm overrides) without grouped-gemm alignment requirements
- Add is_zentorch_moe_config_supported() and debug skip logs in
  zentorch_utils.py
- Add tests/kernels/moe/test_zen_cpu_fused_moe.py for dispatch,
  unaligned shapes, forward correctness, and fallback behavior

The zen extra pinned zentorch 2.11.0.0, which predates the fused MoE ops
the CPU MoE path now dispatches to. Update the pin so a fresh
`pip install -e .[zen]` pulls a version that provides them.
