is it possible to expand this cover general model types that we just want to do weight casting?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, the closed-form MXFP4-to-NVFP4 numerics can be reused and already live in shared numeric utilities used by this converter and the GPT-OSS cast. I would keep this script Kimi-K3-specific in this PR because its tensor paths, fused w1/w3 scale contract, manifest aliases and exclusions, attention policy, and config rewrite are model-specific. A general weight-only checkpoint caster would be better introduced as a focused follow-up.

Still open:
- The cross-rank "conversion fingerprint" comment (ranks can disagree on
--attn_*/--cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4/ source path; onlyrun_idandworld_sizeare validated). Given this is a multi-node example script writing a 2.8T checkpoint, a mismatched rank produces a silently inconsistent output that rank 0 happily finalizes. Not necessarily blocking, but it hasn't been answered. - 💬 @cjluo-nv asked whether this could be generalized to weight-only casting for other models; the author replied that the shared numerics already live in
numeric_utilsand proposed a follow-up for a general caster. That answers the numerics half, but not the larger duplication: this file re-implementsexamples/deepseek/deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.pyalmost verbatim for_dequantize_mxfp4_to_bf16,_kmax_from_mxfp4_scale,_build_w13_kmax_overrides,_quantize_weight_nvfp4_lossless,_link_or_copy/_hard_link_aux,_validate_paths,_prepare_output_dir,_log, and the shard-streaming/index-rewrite skeleton — ~200+ lines of copy-paste, including the identical w1/w3 fused-GEMM1 contract. The design gate fired on this PR and the PR body doesn't discuss why the DS-V4 streaming converter (or a sharedexamples/_shard_cast_utils.py) wasn't extended. That's a maintainer call, but it should be made explicitly rather than deferred implicitly.
New finding (correctness): the cast=False expert path derives weight_scale_2 independently per tensor, so w1 and w3 do not share one scale_2 — exactly the contract the module docstring says must hold for the fused GEMM1, and the contract the cast=True path now hard-fails to protect. DS-V4 solves this with _build_w13_weight_amax_overrides; here there is no equivalent and no test. Since --cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4 is a store_true defaulting to off, a bare python quantize_to_nvfp4.py --source_ckpt ... --output_ckpt ... silently emits a wrong checkpoint.
Other notes: the recipe→converter translation (_conversion_settings_from_recipe) only extracts 5 fields, so any added/edited quantizer entry in the shipped recipe (e.g. enabling shared experts) is silently ignored while the recipe is presented as the authoritative quant map; and the test file for an examples/kimi/ script lives under tests/examples/hf_ptq/. Size (1765 lines, one 1170-line script) is on the large side — splitting the nvfp4_tensor.py short-circuit fix + its unit test from the example would make both easier to land.

Bot comment.
w1/w3 do not share scale_2 on the non-cast path.
else:
bf16 = _dequantize_mxfp4_to_bf16(w, s, device)
weight_scale_2 = (bf16.abs().max().float() / (E2M1_MAX * E4M3_MAX)).reshape(())w13_kmax is only built if cast, so with --cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4 off every projection gets its own per-tensor weight_scale_2. The module docstring ("w1/w3 feed one fused GEMM1 and therefore must share a single scale_2") and the new hard failure in _build_w13_kmax_overrides both assert the opposite invariant, so the default flag combination silently produces the exact checkpoint the cast path refuses to emit. examples/deepseek/deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.py handles this with _build_w13_weight_amax_overrides (shared torch.maximum amax per pair).
Either share the amax across the pair here as DS-V4 does, or drop the non-cast branch entirely if the only supported entry point is the recipe (which always sets cast=True). Whichever way, the existing test_convert_shard_casts_experts_and_quantizes_attention assertion on equal weight_scale_2 should be mirrored for cast=False — right now no test exercises that branch at all.

Addressed in 575c27a. I kept the non-cast path supported and now build a shared w1/w3 weight amax with the common pair helper before requantization, so both projections receive the same weight_scale_2 while w2 remains independent. test_convert_shard_requantizes_w1_w3_with_shared_scale exercises cast=False end to end and checks that invariant.

Bot comment.
Duplication with the DeepSeek-V4 converter.
_dequantize_mxfp4_to_bf16, _kmax_from_mxfp4_scale, _build_w13_kmax_overrides, _quantize_weight_nvfp4_lossless, _link_or_copy/_hard_link_aux, _validate_paths, _prepare_output_dir and _log are near-verbatim copies of examples/deepseek/deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.py, down to the docstrings and the w1/w3 fused-GEMM1 rationale. Only the tensor-name regexes, the attention policy and the manifest/alias logic are genuinely Kimi-specific.
numeric_utils already exists precisely because the GPT-OSS and DS-V4 casts shared math; the shard-streaming/aux-linking/index-rewrite skeleton is the next obvious extraction (an examples/_mxfp4_cast_utils.py or similar). Please either factor the shared half out in this PR or state in the PR body why a third independent copy is preferable — that's the question @cjluo-nv raised above, and the follow-up-PR answer leaves the duplication in main in the meantime.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in 575c27a. I extracted the common MXFP4 dequant/requant and closed-form cast numerics, w1/w3 pair-scale helpers, path validation/output preparation, progress logging, and recursive auxiliary-file linking into examples/_shard_cast_utils.py; both the DS-V4 and Kimi converters now use that module. I kept the shard/index rewrite portions model-specific because DS-V4 consumes calibrated amax and explicit index deltas, while Kimi handles multiple attention formats plus partial/distributed shard reports and total-size reconstruction. I also added coverage for the shared auxiliary-file filtering.

Bot comment.
_conversion_settings_from_recipe validates the routed-expert and attention entries it knows about and derives five settings, but everything else in the recipe (base_disable_all, default_disabled_quantizers, the algorithm block, any future entry) is ignored. So a recipe edit that, say, enables *shared_experts*weight_quantizer would pass validation and be silently dropped by the converter while modelopt_recipes/ptq.md advertises the YAML as the checkpoint's quant map.
Consider asserting that no quantizer entry outside the known set is enabled, so recipe drift fails loudly instead of producing a checkpoint that doesn't match the recipe.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in d9ec9e7. Recipe validation now requires the expected algorithm and wildcard disable entry, requires every known enabled quantizer, and rejects any unexpected enabled quantizer. Tests cover both an enabled shared-expert entry and algorithm drift.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review of PR #2206 (15 files, +2248/-269). Every previously-flagged critical item is now resolved and verified in the diff, but I'd like a human sign-off before merge because this round introduced a new hard-fail in shared code that now also governs the existing DeepSeek-V4 converter.
Resolved since the last review (no further action needed): cross-rank conversion fingerprint (_conversion_fingerprint / _validate_fingerprint published in ready.json and every rank report, with mismatch tests); recipe drift (_conversion_settings_from_quantize_config now requires the algorithm block, the wildcard disable entry, every expected quantizer, and rejects unexpected enabled ones, with tests for a shared-expert entry and algorithm drift); tests moved to tests/examples/kimi/; and the shared cast helpers moved out of examples/ into modelopt/torch/export/shard_cast_utils.py with a unit-test file, per @cjluo-nv's request. The design-gate question (third copy of the DS-V4 streaming cast) is answered — DS-V4 now consumes the shared module (-265 lines) and the extraction looks numerically faithful. Licensing: standard NVIDIA Apache-2.0 headers only, no third-party code.
Still worth an owner look:
- New, and the reason I'm not approving:
link_aux_files(shard_cast_utils.py) raisesValueErrorfor any symlinked sidecar and for any file whose resolved target is not undersource_ckpt.huggingface_hub.snapshot_downloadmaterializes every file insnapshots/<rev>/as a symlink into../../blobs/, so pointing--source_ckptat an HF cache snapshot now aborts withsource must be a regular file— and it aborts at the last step, after all 96 shards have already been converted. This is also a behavior regression for the shipped DS-V4 converter, whose previous_hard_link_auxlinked/copied through symlinks fine. Consider resolving-and-allowing links that stay inside the model repo (snapshot + siblingblobs/), orshutil.copy2with a warning, rather than a terminal error. modelopt/torch/export/__init__.pydoesfrom .shard_cast_utils import *, which promoteslog(a bareprint(..., flush=True)wrapper),validate_paths,prepare_output_dir, andlink_or_copyinto the publicmodelopt.torch.exportnamespace.login particular is collision-prone with the wildcard imports that follow it. Narrowing__all__to the cast helpers, or not re-exporting from__init__, would be safer for a core-library surface._conversion_settings_from_quantize_configcomparesquantize["algorithm"]by exact dict equality with_RECIPE_ALGORITHM; any future default-valued field added to the algorithm schema will make the shipped recipe fail validation. A key-subset check would be less brittle.- Kimi passes
skip_file=lambda path: path.suffix == ".safetensors", so a nestedmodel.safetensors.index.jsoninside a subdirectory is linked into the output (DS-V4 explicitly skips it at every level). Low risk, but a stale index in the output is confusing. - Size is still on the large side (~1.15k-line example script); the
nvfp4_tensor.pyshort-circuit fix plus its unit test would land cleanly on its own.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: new example
Adds the calibration-free conversion pipeline and checkpoint-mirror PTQ recipe used for
nvidia/Kimi-K3-NVFP4:input_scale=1.0;lm_head, and KV cache unquantized;modelopt_recipes/huggingface/models/moonshotai/Kimi-K3/that directly configures the streaming converter.It also fixes
NVFP4QTensor.quantize()probing CUDA/Blackwell capability before checking whether the tensor is on CUDA and whether the optional TensorRT-LLM fast path was requested. That probe broke the converter's supported CPU path on hosts without a compatible GPU.Usage
python examples/kimi/kimi_k3/quantize_to_nvfp4.py \ --source_ckpt /models/moonshotai/Kimi-K3 \ --output_ckpt /models/Kimi-K3-NVFP4 \ --recipe huggingface/models/moonshotai/Kimi-K3/ptq/nvfp4_experts-fp8_pb_attention \ --jobs 8The conversion requires no calibration dataset, forward pass, or GPU. Multi-node shard conversion is also supported through
--rank,--world_size, and--run_id.Testing
uv run --frozen --extra dev python -m pytest -q \ tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_nvfp4_tensor.py \ tests/unit/recipe/test_kimi_k3_recipe.py \ tests/unit/recipe/test_recipe_docs.py \ tests/examples/hf_ptq/test_kimi_k3_quantize_to_nvfp4.pyResult: 17 passed.
All pre-commit hooks pass for the changed files, including recipe validation, Ruff, mypy, Bandit, YAML formatting, and markdownlint.
