Fuse native FP8 shared-expert weights with MXFP4 routed experts for guarded gfx950 TP8 decode shapes. Preserve the native I384 width, retain the separate fallback for unsupported token buckets, and extend the AITER custom-op contract.

Derive the shared-expert width from its native weight. select_deepseek_v4_mxfp4_moe_backend can fall back from AITER_MXFP4_BF16 to another AITER backend. That backend can round the per-partition width from 384 to 512. _prepare_native_fp8_shared_expert then rejects the native (768, 7168) weight. Use shared_expert.gate_up_proj.weight.shape[0] // 2 instead of self.moe_config.intermediate_size_per_partition.

we can just use is_fusion_moe_shared_experts_enabled from rocm_aiter_ops https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/vllm/_aiter_ops.py#L1758 as this feature is aiter exclusive and rocm exclusive.

Done in 05dd626. Switched the gate to rocm_aiter_ops.is_fusion_moe_shared_experts_enabled() — @if_aiter_supported already covers ROCm/gfx9/AITER-installed and _MOE_SHARED_EXPERTS_ENABLED is exactly VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_FUSION_SHARED_EXPERTS, so the raw platform+env check was redundant. Also dropped the duplicate is_fusion_moe_shared_experts_enabled() reason further down, since it is now unreachable.
Replace the raw platform/env check with rocm_aiter_ops.is_fusion_moe_shared_experts_enabled(), which already covers ROCm, gfx9 and the AITER install, and drop the now-redundant duplicate check further down. Co-authored-by: Cursor Agent <agent@cursor.com> Signed-off-by: fai <fangzhouai@gmail.com>

Fuse the DeepSeek-V4 native-FP8 shared expert into the MXFP4 routed-expert AITER kernel by moving the 8K/1K STP, 8K/1K MTP, and AgentX entries onto the first ROCm nightly containing vllm-project/vllm#53161 (vllm@de69e821). VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_FUSION_SHARED_EXPERTS=1 was already requested by the AgentX script, but every earlier nightly rejected this mixed FP4+FP8 checkpoint in vLLM's eligibility check and self-disabled the fusion.

vLLM clamps torch threads itself, but only after weight loading completes: "Reducing Torch threads from 16 to 1 for serving" is logged after "Model loading took", so the 805 GiB checkpoint is read with 16 torch threads per worker across 8 workers. Setting it externally caps threads from process start, which is what that log line recommends. Weight loading currently costs 96-99 min per job on this runner, about half of each ~3h job. It does not affect any measured number, since loading completes before warmup and the profiling phase. Also drop the now-stale note that the FHMoE flag needs a build with vllm-project/vllm#53161; the pinned nightly ships it.

vllm-project/vllm#53161 is merged and current :nightly images carry it, so write the note from the standpoint that the fusion is available rather than pending. Keep the older-build caveat for the immutable tag pinned in the reproduction table, and document the per-invocation tuned-config coverage check that sends large prefill chunks down the unfused path.

Summary
Enable AITER heterogeneous fused MoE (FHMoE) for the DeepSeek V4 ROCm path.
The guarded path combines native-FP8 shared-expert weights with MXFP4 routed
experts for model-visible MoE input rows covered continuously by AITER's
active FHMoE CSV on gfx950/TP8. The currently shipped table covers
1 <= M <= 2048; unsupported M retains the existing separate routed/sharedpath.
The implementation keeps the native per-rank intermediate width at 384:
[1, 768, 7168][1, 7168, 384][M, 7, 384]It does not restore the old 384-to-512 weight or activation padding. Only
the W2 E8M0 scale descriptor is neutral-aligned from 12 to 16 columns.
The feature remains opt-in through
VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_FUSION_SHARED_EXPERTS=1. It fails closed unless theexact gfx950, TP8/DP1/PCP1, BF16, no-EP/EPLB/offload,
noaux_tc, DSV4quantization, routed-tensor, and AITER capability contracts pass.
Dependency / merge blocker
Do not merge until ROCm/aiter#4891
lands and vLLM consumes a revision or release containing it.
Stock AITER v0.1.20 exposes the heterogeneous tensor API but is insufficient
for this widened policy. AITER #4891 adds the dedicated physical-I384 FHMoE
configuration and the public
supports_dsv4_i384_fhmoe(max_tokens)capability query.That query derives continuous padded-bucket coverage from the active resolved
FHMoE CSV. vLLM requires the result to be literal
Truefor the actual M andseparately validates the shared-tensor API. Missing, older, malformed,
incomplete, or unreadable AITER configurations therefore preserve the
separate fallback.
PR #52826 is only a baseline v0.1.20 bump, not the complete dependency.
Related work / duplicate check
This PR supersedes closed #48728, submitted by the same author. That draft was
based on the older I384-to-I512 padded implementation and had become stale and
conflicted. This replacement is rebuilt from current
main, retains nativeI384, adds bounded/fail-closed dispatch, and includes matched performance,
accuracy, trace, and KV-capacity evidence.
This is distinct from #51918 (expert-parallel MegaMoEV2), #53097
(homogeneous block-FP8 compatibility), and merged #53040 (NVIDIA MegaMoE).
Open-PR searches for the predecessor and DeepSeek-V4 FHMoE found no other PR
implementing this native-FP8-shared/MXFP4-routed TP8 path.
Token-range policy
The selector uses model-visible MoE rows
M = x.shape[0], not clientconcurrency. AITER metadata is power-of-two bucketed: for example, actual
M=1536selects thetoken=2048CSV row while the kernel still receives a1536-row tensor. This is config selection, not tensor padding.
With the current table, coverage includes no-speculation through 512
sequences, MTP2 through 512 sequences (
M=1536), and MTP3 through 512sequences (
M=2048). MTP4 at the full 512-sequence limit reaches M=2560 andcurrently uses the separate fallback. At B<=64, even MTP4 reaches only M=320.
The range is not duplicated in vLLM code. Adding one valid
token=4096rowto AITER's already-complete 1..2048 table automatically enables every actual
M<=4096;M=4097then requires an 8192 row. Capability results are cached,and changing the active CSV requires a server restart.
Performance
Isolated FHMoE A/B at concurrency 8
Configuration: 8x gfx950, TP8, 80 identical random 8K/1K requests, no MTP,
max_model_len=9472,max_num_seqs=512, andmax_num_batched_tokens=16384. Only the fusion flag changed.The decode trace showed steady step wall time
21.201 -> 18.926 ms(-10.73%), classified MoE time -27.34%, and kernel launches -15.57%.
Expanded token range
Matched feature-on runs comparing the former M=2..8 guard with M=1..2048:
Exact production-composed operator comparisons at the upper boundary:
The M2049 result is why the current CSV intentionally stops at 2048. A future
4096 row should only be added after a better kernel is tuned and validated.
Final combined-stack validation
The final AITER dedicated-table path was rerun in a clean TP8/no-MTP server
with this change, fused mHC, and the local C4A top-k enabled. All request
length arrays matched the earlier prototype exactly.
All 1270 accepted C1-C64 requests completed. The final implementation was
within 0.7% of the prototype at every point. Against the prior matched
feature-off/new-top-k C8 reference, output throughput improved
354.133 -> 395.523 tok/s(+11.69%) and TPOT improved21.576 -> 19.250 ms(-10.78%).This combined-stack sweep is integration evidence; the isolated flag A/B
above remains the attribution measurement for FHMoE itself.
Accuracy
Full 5-shot GSM8K, greedy, thinking disabled, max output 2048, concurrency 64:
This exceeds the 0.94 acceptance floor and replaces the earlier 64-sample
smoke result.
Memory / KV capacity
The final dedicated-table run exactly matched the prototype's 12.25-GiB peak
activation, 7.05-GiB graph pool, 106.49-GiB KV memory, and 193894-token KV
capacity. The additional persistent storage is the shuffled native shared
copy plus one dummy routed row, not I512 padding.
Validation
git diff --check: passed.checks passed at representative low/high M including 1536 and 2048.
C1-C64 intervals.
