Purpose

FlashInfer modified the CuteDSL NVFP4 MoE kernel to support the SwiGLU-OAI activation (flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#3737). The CuteDSL NVFP4 MoE kernel now also supports ReLU² non-gated activation. This PR achieves compatibility with both new activations by passing the activation type and related parameters into the CuteDSL MoE kernel.

Test Plan

I think we want to set these args at None and don't apply them if the parameter in quant_config is None, otherwise there will be other model use this file which has these value in default, causing accuracy bug.

Good point! It won't affect accuracy unless the activation type is swiglu-oai for flashinfer, but it's indeed a little confusing. Modify done.

@mergify mergify Bot added the needs-rebase label Jul 29, 2026
Upstream vllm-project#49580 landed CuTeDSL NVFP4 MoE for ReLU2 and now passes
activation_type unconditionally, so the version probe this branch added
(has_flashinfer_cutedsl_moe_nvfp4_activation_type) is obsolete: an older
FlashInfer already fails on upstream's own relu2 path. Drop the probe and
keep only the SwiGLU-OAI work layered on upstream's implementation.

- experts/flashinfer_cutedsl_moe.py: take upstream's unconditional
  activation_type, add SWIGLUOAI/SWIGLUOAI_UNINTERLEAVE to the supported
  activations, and forward only the SwiGLU params the model actually sets.
  The kernel defaults swiglu_{alpha,beta,limit} to floats (1.0/0.0/FLT_MAX),
  so None must not be passed through.
- oracle/nvfp4.py: register FLASHINFER_CUTEDSL in NVFP4_BACKENDS_WITH_CLAMP
  unconditionally and list it in the clamp error message, which upstream
  had extended with cutlass/marlin/humming.
- flashinfer_fp4_moe.py: keep the SWIGLUOAI interleaved-w13 handling as
  reorder_w13_to_w31_for_flashinfer_cutedsl() on top of upstream's is_gated
  guard.
- flashinfer_utils.py: drop the duplicate SWIGLUOAI entries the auto-merge
  left in ACTIVATION_TO_FI_ACTIVATION; upstream already maps both.
- tests: rebase onto upstream's test file, parametrized over
  SILU/RELU2_NO_MUL/SWIGLUOAI.

Tested on B200 (SM100): test_flashinfer_cutedsl_nvfp4_moe.py 3 passed,
test_flashinfer_cutedsl_layout.py 3 passed, test_cutedsl_moe.py 11 passed,
test_nvfp4_moe.py 84 passed.

The test inherited atol=rtol=2e-1 from the upstream relu2 test, but the
outputs here are O(1e-2) while NVFP4 noise is O(1e-3): for SILU and
RELU2_NO_MUL the tolerance exceeded the reference tensor's full dynamic
range, so a kernel returning zeros would have passed. Two of the four
activations the backend advertises had no coverage at all.

- Parametrize over (activation, alpha, beta, limit) and add cases for
  SWIGLUOAI_UNINTERLEAVE and SILU-with-clamp. The latter exercises the
  NVFP4_BACKENDS_WITH_CLAMP entry this branch adds, which was untested.
- Drop swiglu_limit from 7.0 to 0.3: the GEMM1 output is O(0.5) at these
  tensor scales, so the OAI default never clamped anything.
- Build the reference from vLLM's own SiluAndMul / SiluAndMulWithClamp /
  SwigluOAIAndMul ops instead of torch_moe, which cannot parametrize the
  activation (it calls the registered op with default constructor args).
- Tighten to atol=3e-2 (worst measured error 1.8e-2) and add a cosine
  check, which catches structural errors an absolute tolerance cannot.

Mutation-tested: removing **swiglu_kwargs fails silu-clamp, swigluoai and
swigluoai_uninterleave while leaving silu and relu2_no_mul passing;
disabling the SWIGLUOAI interleaved-w13 branch fails swigluoai. Full run:
100 passed across the four cutedsl/nvfp4 MoE suites on B200.
