Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Stacked composition PR (targets agent/kv-cache-autoquant-core, not main). The orchestration itself is small and readable, and the happy paths for both new shipped recipes are covered by tests. Three things I'd want resolved before this lands:
1. README now contradicts the shipped recipes and the new test. The diff rewrites the KV-AutoQuant paragraph to say "The shipped canary recipe searches calibrated FP8 K/V ... Each candidate uses max calibration so its persistent K/V scales are present in the unified HF checkpoint." All three shipped KV recipes (kv_fp8_nvfp4_cast_…, fp8_ptq_then_kv_…, nvfp4_fp8_gradient_then_kv_…) still use algorithm: (None) + constant_amax: 448.0, i.e. calibration-free cast candidates — which is exactly what the new loader test test_builtin_kv_autoquantize_recipes_use_calibration_free_cast_candidates asserts, and what kv_cache_auto_quant._validate_deployable_candidate treats as the constant-amax branch. Either revert this doc edit or change the recipes.
2. get_quant_config fail-closed guard removed with no replacement signal. The NotImplementedError for "uniform quantized weights + mixed-precision KV map" is dropped so the fixed-FP8-PTQ→mixed-KV flow can export. But the PR body itself says this combination "remains gated until the runtime's uniform-weight ModelOpt configuration consumes kv_cache_quantized_layers" — so the export now silently produces a checkpoint no released runtime can load. At minimum emit a warn() on that branch. Note this also affects non-AutoQuant flows: any uniform-weight PTQ run where only some KV-eligible layers are quantized (e.g. MTP layers excluded) now falls into the elif and exports kv_cache_quant_algo: MIXED_PRECISION + a per-layer map instead of the plain uniform algo; that path has no test.
3. Design gate (5 directories) is unaddressed in the PR body. The recipe schema already expresses stages as quantize (fixed PTQ) + auto_quantize; this adds a third special-cased field kv_auto_quantize plus three new cross-field validators, a second --kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint CLI flag, and a primary_is_kv / primary_uses_kv_checkpoint branch in the runner. The obvious in-repo alternative — a single ordered stage list (auto_quantize: list[AutoQuantizeConfig], or a generic stages:) with one checkpoint path per stage index — would collapse the validators and the checkpoint-attr branching and generalizes past two stages. The PR body explains what was built but not why the existing two-field shape couldn't be generalized. Please state the "why not a stage list / why not extend mtq.auto_quantize to both domains" rationale in the body.
Also: no negative tests for the three new ModelOptAutoQuantizeRecipe validators, and the checkpoint_attr string-indirection is worth simplifying (details inline).

Worth an explicit error rather than relying on the other validator."}]

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review of the composition PR (still stacked on #2272, targets agent/kv-cache-autoquant-core). Most of the previous round is genuinely fixed:
Resolved
- README contradicted the shipped recipes (critical) — fixed. The paragraph is back to "The shipped canary recipe searches FP8-cast K/V …" / "Each candidate uses an explicit constant scale, avoiding an additional calibration pass", which matches
algorithm: None+constant_amax: 448.0in all three recipes andtest_builtin_kv_autoquantize_recipes_use_calibration_free_cast_candidates. - Fail-closed guard dropped with no signal (critical) — fixed.
get_quant_confignowwarn()s on the uniform-weight + mixed-KV branch, and both new export tests (…exports_mixed_kv_cache_map,…partial_kv_map_with_warning) cover the branch, including the partial-coverage case I asked for. checkpoint_attrstring indirection (minor) — fixed:auto_quantize(..., checkpoint: str | None)is resolved once by the caller.- Flag inconsistency + late clean-input check (minor/critical mix) — fixed:
_resolve_kv_auto_quantize_checkpointgives one rule for every KV-domain search with a deprecated fallback, and_quantize_config_explicitly_enables_kvnow fails beforemono_quantizeruns (test assertsmono_quantizemust not start). - No negative tests for the new validators (critical) — fixed: four
pytest.raises(ValidationError, …)cases, including the new explicit "KV-primary + fixed baseline must not definemodule_search_spaces" error.
Still open
- Design gate (blocker #3) is unchanged. The PR body still explains what was built (an extra
kv_auto_quantizefield, three cross-field validators, a second CLI checkpoint flag, aprimary_is_kvbranch in the runner) but never says why the obvious generalization — one ordered stage list (stages:/auto_quantize: list[AutoQuantizeConfig]) with a checkpoint path per stage — was rejected, nor whymtq.auto_quantize/auto_quantize_kv_cachecouldn't be composed at the API level instead of inhf_ptq.py. Please add that rationale to the body; per the design protocol I can't approve while it's unaddressed. - Two small residuals inline (doc/behavior mismatch on the deprecated-flag scope; dead fallback in the KV pre-check), plus one thing worth a human eye: with
all_kv_layers_quantized(from #2272) plus this PR'swarn()branch, an existing plain-PTQ recipe that excludes some KV-eligible layers (e.g.*mtp*) now exportskv_cache_quant_algo: MIXED_PRECISION+ a per-layer map instead of the uniform algo. It's now tested and warned, but it's a deployment-visible metadata change for shipped recipes and the CHANGELOG is marked N/A here — make sure #2272's entry actually calls it out.

Is agent/kv-cache-autoquant-core the intended target branch? |
… forward KL (#2272) ### What does this PR do? Type of change: new feature. Adds standalone layer-wise KV-cache AutoQuantize through the existing public `mtq.auto_quantize` API: - dispatches KV search with `constraints={"effective_bits": ..., "cost_model": "kv_cache"}` and forward-KL sensitivity; - selects one supported K/V format for every eligible causal-attention layer; - supports persistent/exportable FP8 K/V, NVFP4 K/V, and FP8-K/NVFP4-V candidates; - solves a K/V-width- and scale-storage-aware additive recipe with the existing PuLP-backed constrained solver; - uses `BaseSearcher` lifecycle and safe checkpoint restore/save machinery; - preserves existing non-KV execution while isolating K/V candidate calibration; - returns standard AutoQuantize state that can be re-solved at another KV budget; - produces a complete KV-only replay config that disables every non-KV quantizer; - saves JSON-safe sensitivity metadata and the exact selected layer mapping; and - invokes the public API from `examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py` through a standalone calibration-free recipe. The implementation is architecture-driven. Plain and conditional-generation Qwen causal attention is supported, VLM vision attention is excluded through the existing language-model extraction boundary, hybrid full-attention mixers are discovered through their paired K/V quantizers, and nonattention/Mamba modules remain outside the search. Ambiguous language-model roots, unsupported distributed execution, structural algorithms, invalid storage declarations, nonpersistent scales, and unsupported K/V pairs fail closed. KV-only unified HF exports leave weight-quantization fields unset. Uniform all-FP8 or all-NVFP4 selections retain their legacy KV scheme while also carrying the complete `kv_cache_quantized_layers` map and schema version; genuinely layer-mixed selections use the KV-side `MIXED_PRECISION` marker plus the same map. This keeps weight-loader metadata accurate and prevents disabled vision attention from making uniform language-model KV quantization appear partially quantized. GEMM PTQ/AutoQuantize followed by KV AutoQuantize is intentionally excluded and proposed separately in stacked PR #2273. ### Why KV search has a dedicated backend The user-facing entry point remains `mtq.auto_quantize`; no separate public KV search API is introduced. `AutoQuantizeKVSearcher` extends `BaseSearcher` and reuses its reset, checkpoint load/save, and search lifecycle, along with existing Pydantic configuration, calibration, safe checkpoint I/O, and PuLP-backed selection utilities. The backend remains KV-specific because a decision owns paired K/V quantizers on one attention layer, its cost depends on separate K/V widths and data/scale storage, BF16 is a scoring reference but not a deployable solver choice, and the optimization objective is additive isolated forward KL under a KV-storage constraint. These contracts do not match the weight-domain hparam grouping, parameter-count cost, or threshold-selection behavior of the existing weight AutoQuant searchers. Keeping the specialization behind the shared API avoids changing established weight-search solver and scoring behavior. ### Usage ```bash python examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py \ --pyt_ckpt_path Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B \ --recipe general/auto_quantize/kv_fp8_nvfp4_cast_kl_div_at_5p4bits \ --auto_quantize_checkpoint /path/to/kv_autoquant.pth \ --export_path /path/to/qwen3.8-27b-mixed-kv ``` The search checkpoint is compatible only with the same model, eligible-layer geometry, candidate configurations, and scoring setup. Use a distinct checkpoint path after any of those inputs change. KV-cache AutoQuantize rejects `--use_fsdp2` before model loading because its sensitivity scoring, selection, and checkpoint writes are single-process. Existing weight AutoQuantize retains its previous experimental FSDP2 warning and behavior. ### Testing - Focused coverage exercises candidate validation/calibration, paired K/V scoring and storage accounting, solving, checkpoint resume, failure atomicity, disabled layers, fresh-model replay, Qwen/VLM/hybrid boundaries, JSON-safe reports, and unified export. - Uniform FP8/NVFP4 KV-only exports retain the legacy KV scheme and complete layer map without claiming a weight algorithm; disabled VLM vision attention is excluded from causal-KV eligibility. - The shipped recipe runs end to end on a tiny offline Qwen fixture and preserves exportable scale state. - After merging current `main`: 432 focused recipe/KV/export/hf_ptq tests passed, with one unrelated optional-dependency skip; changed-file pre-commit hooks passed. ### Deployment gate The producer schema is covered here. Runtime consumption of `kv_cache_quantized_layers` is tracked in vLLM PR vllm-project/vllm#52813. Do not treat a produced checkpoint as runtime-supported until that consumer lands and the target K/V kernels are available. ### Before your PR is "Ready for review" - Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ - If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A - Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ - Did you update Changelog?: ✅ ### Additional information - This is split from the combined ground-truth implementation in draft PR #2211 to reduce review scope; composition is isolated in #2273. - The standalone core tree contains no composed GEMM→KV recipe schema or orchestration. - No model-name checks, checkpoint-specific layer lists, campaign data contracts, cluster launch logic, or runtime-kernel implementations are included. --------- Signed-off-by: weimingc <17592131+meenchen@users.noreply.github.com>

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] This fail-closed pre-check fails open for the most likely way a user writes the offending config, because parent_class is ignored.
default_disabled_quantizers ends with five parent_class-scoped entries whose quantizer_name is '*':
- parent_class: 'nn.BatchNorm1d'
quantizer_name: '*'
enable: false
...
- parent_class: 'nn.Embedding'
quantizer_name: '*'
enable: falseThe loop only looks at quantizer_name, so each of those matches pattern == "*" and unconditionally resets enabled["k_bmm_quantizer"] = enabled["v_bmm_quantizer"] = False — even though they only apply to BatchNorm/LeakyReLU/Embedding parents and cannot touch a k_bmm_quantizer.
Every shipped PTQ recipe imports default_disabled_quantizers last, after the KV unit — e.g. modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/fp8_default-kv_fp8_cast.yaml:
quant_cfg:
- $import: base_disable_all
- $import: w8a8_fp8_fp8
- $import: kv_fp8_cast # enables *[kv]_bmm_quantizer
- $import: default_disabled_quantizers # trailing parent_class '*' entries reset the trackerSo a user who lifts that exact block into the quantize: stage of a KV-primary AutoQuantize recipe gets False here, mono_quantize runs the full max-calibration pass, and only then does _auto_quantize_kv_cache raise the backstop ValueError. That defeats the entire purpose of moving this check ahead of mono_quantize. The existing test uses a two-entry config with no parent_class rows, so it doesn't cover this.
Skip parent-class-scoped entries (they can never scope a BMM quantizer):
for entry in quant_cfg["quant_cfg"]:
if entry.get("parent_class") is not None:
continue
pattern = entry["quantizer_name"]
...Secondary, same function: suffix = pattern.rsplit(".", 1)[-1] only strips a dot-separated module prefix, so a pattern like *self_attn*k_bmm_quantizer (no dot before the quantizer name) keeps its *self_attn* prefix and fnmatch("k_bmm_quantizer", "*self_attn*k_bmm_quantizer") is False — another miss. Matching against f"*.{name}"-style candidates, or checking fnmatch(name, suffix) or pattern.endswith(name) or "bmm_quantizer" in pattern, would close that too. Please add a regression test with default_disabled_quantizers appended after a KV unit.

Addressed in fef442a. Parent-scoped entries are excluded from this static unscoped K/V check, while the converted-model guard remains the authoritative backstop. A regression appends an nn.Embedding deny-all rule after an enabled K/V rule and verifies the K/V rule is still detected.

[CRITICAL Algorithm] Allowing a preceding GEMM stage makes the KV search-checkpoint signature under-specified, so a stale checkpoint is silently accepted and stale KL-div sensitivities drive the selection.
Before this change, is_quantized(model) was a hard gate, so a KV checkpoint could only ever have been produced on a BF16 model — the preceding-quantization dimension didn't exist. _search_signature (kv_cache_auto_quant.py:433) therefore fingerprints only:
{"schema_version", "num_calib_steps", "num_score_steps",
"candidates": [...], "layers": [{"name", "k_width", "v_width"}]}and _checkpoint_state_is_compatible is a plain equality check against that. Nothing in it reflects the weight/activation quantizers that are now active during scoring.
Concretely, the two recipes this PR ships hit that hole with no user mistake beyond reusing a path:
fp8_ptq_then_kv_fp8_nvfp4_cast_kl_div_at_5p4bitsandnvfp4_fp8_gradient_then_kv_fp8_nvfp4_cast_kl_div_at_5p4bitshave byte-identical KVcandidate_formats(fp8/nvfp4,constant_amax: 448.0,effective_bits8.0/4.5), the samescore_size: 128, and the samedisabled_layers.- For a given model and calib settings,
layers,num_calib_steps(len(calib_dataloader)) andnum_score_stepsare identical too.
So running the FP8-PTQ recipe and then the NVFP4-gradient recipe against the same --kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint passes the compatibility check exactly, and the search restores KL-div scores measured under an FP8 GEMM baseline to pick per-layer KV formats for an NVFP4 baseline. Wrong selection, no error, no warning — and KV sensitivity genuinely depends on the GEMM state (that's why the PR gives the two searches separate checkpoints in the first place). The only mitigation today is the PR-body sentence "Use a new KV checkpoint path whenever the preceding GEMM configuration or selection changes," which is user discipline, not a fail-closed check.
Suggested fix: fold a fingerprint of the pre-existing (non-K/V) quantizer state into the signature, so a changed GEMM baseline invalidates the checkpoint automatically. Something like a sorted digest of enabled non-KV quantizers and their format-defining attributes, computed here and threaded into searcher.search(config=...):
preceding_quantizer_signature = None
if not converted_for_search:
preceding_quantizer_signature = sorted(
(name, str(module.num_bits), str(getattr(module, "block_sizes", None)))
for name, module in model.named_modules(remove_duplicate=False)
if isinstance(module, TensorQuantizer)
and module.is_enabled
and not name.endswith(("k_bmm_quantizer", "v_bmm_quantizer"))
)then add it to the dict returned by _search_signature. If you'd rather not touch _search_signature, the minimum acceptable alternative is to warn() loudly here whenever a checkpoint is restored on an already-quantized model, naming the risk.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in fef442a. The checkpoint signature now includes the sorted enabled non-K/V quantizer state: name, num_bits, and block_sizes. A regression writes scores under an FP8 weight baseline, attempts restore under NVFP4, and verifies rejection before scoring. Legacy signatures remain compatible only when the current model has no preceding enabled non-K/V quantizers.

[SUGGESTION] The deprecated-flag fallback is asymmetric between the two KV paths, and neither the helper's docstring nor the --kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint help text says so.
- KV-primary stage (line 985) →
_resolve_kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint(args), which falls back to--auto_quantize_checkpoint. - KV follow-up stage (line 999) → raw
args.kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint, no fallback.
The asymmetry is correct — in the follow-up case --auto_quantize_checkpoint is already owned by the weight search, so falling back would make both searches write the same file. But _resolve_kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint's docstring ("Resolve the dedicated KV checkpoint flag with a one-release legacy fallback") reads as though it is the one rule for every KV-domain search, which is how the README paragraph phrases it too. A one-line comment at line 999 stating why the follow-up deliberately skips the fallback (collision with the weight-search checkpoint) would keep the next reader from "fixing" it into a shared path — which would silently corrupt both search states.

Addressed in fef442a. The helper docstring now scopes the fallback to KV-primary searches, and the follow-up KV call explains that it deliberately cannot reuse the legacy flag because the weight search owns that checkpoint.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Third pass on the composition PR (now correctly targeting main). Scope: full review, all 11 changed files — modelopt/recipe/config.py, modelopt/torch/quantization/model_quant.py, modelopt/torch/export/quant_utils.py, examples/hf_ptq/{hf_ptq.py,README.md}, both new recipe YAMLs, and all four test files. (Note for anyone reproducing: a two-dot git diff origin/main HEAD also surfaces onnx_optimizer.py / torch_onnx.py / model_calib.py — that is main-tip drift, not this PR.)
Findings: CRITICAL 1, IMPORTANT 1, SUGGESTION 1
Confirmed resolved from prior rounds
- Design gate — the PR body now has the "Why a follow-up field instead of a generic stage list?" section explaining why the stage-list generalization and API-level composition were rejected. That was my previous blocker; it's addressed.
- Validator short-circuit residual —
not primary_is_kvgating the three fixed-baseline checks is safe:AutoQuantizeConfig._has_search_space(config.py:291,:296,:300) independently rejectsmodule_search_spaces,kv_cache, andcost_excluded_layersforcost_model: kv_cache. Negative tests now cover all three new cross-field validators. - Export metadata regression — I re-derived the branch and the earlier worry no longer applies.
needs_layerwise_kv_metadatarequiresweight_quant_algo is None or len(kv_cache_formats) > 1, so a uniform-weight PTQ run with partial-but-uniform KV coverage still falls to theelifand emits a plainkv_cache_quant_algo. No metadata flip for shipped recipes, and thewarn()fires exactly on the undeployable uniform-weight + mixed-KV case. - Shipped composed recipe actually clears the K/V precondition —
configs/ptq/presets/model/{fp8,nvfp4}.yamlonly enable*weight_quantizer/*input_quantizer, so the weight search leaves K/V disabled and the follow-up stage starts clean. Confirmed end-to-end bytest_public_kv_autoquant_preserves_preceding_weight_quantization. - Restore fidelity — skipping
apply_mode("auto_quantize")on the fixed-PTQ→KV path is fine:quantizer_state()persists each quantizer's fullget_modelopt_state()(num_bits, block_sizes, enable, amax), so the KV selection round-trips through the existingquantizemode entry. - FSDP2 now fails early — extending
_recipe_is_kv_auto_quantizeto the follow-up field makes the line-640 gate cover both composed recipes before the model loads.
Blocking
1. CRITICAL — KV search-checkpoint signature is under-specified now that a GEMM stage can precede it (model_quant.py:345). Removing the is_quantized(model) gate introduces a dimension _search_signature doesn't fingerprint: it covers only candidates, layer K/V widths, and step counts — nothing about the active weight/activation quantizers that shape the KL-div scores. The two recipes this PR ships have byte-identical KV candidates, score_size, and disabled_layers, so running fp8_ptq_then_kv_… and then nvfp4_fp8_gradient_then_kv_… against the same --kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint passes _checkpoint_state_is_compatible exactly and reuses FP8-baseline sensitivities to select KV formats for an NVFP4 baseline. Silently wrong per-layer selection, no error. The only guard today is a sentence in the PR body telling users to change the path by hand. Fold a digest of the enabled non-K/V quantizer state into the signature (sketch inline), or at minimum warn() when a checkpoint is restored on an already-quantized model.
2. IMPORTANT — the new pre-mono_quantize K/V check fails open (hf_ptq.py:445-453). _quantize_config_explicitly_enables_kv ignores parent_class, so the five trailing parent_class: nn.BatchNorm1d/… + quantizer_name: '*' + enable: false entries in default_disabled_quantizers reset the tracker to False even though they can't scope a BMM quantizer. Every shipped PTQ recipe imports that unit after the KV unit (general/ptq/fp8_default-kv_fp8_cast.yaml), so a user lifting that block into a KV-primary quantize: stage gets False, pays a full max-calibration pass, and only then hits the backstop ValueError in _auto_quantize_kv_cache — exactly the late failure this check was added to prevent. One-line fix (continue on entry.get("parent_class")) plus a regression test with default_disabled_quantizers appended after a KV unit. Same function also misses dotless patterns like *self_attn*k_bmm_quantizer; details inline.
Non-blocking
3. SUGGESTION — the deprecated --auto_quantize_checkpoint fallback applies to the KV-primary stage but not the follow-up. That asymmetry is correct (the follow-up would collide with the weight-search checkpoint), but the helper docstring and README both read as one universal rule; a one-line comment at the follow-up call site would stop someone "fixing" it into a shared path.
Not repeating CodeRabbit's point that the pre-check should also run for the quantize + weight-auto_quantize + kv_auto_quantize shape — I agree with it, and fixing finding 2 and that gate together is the natural single change.
Risk: moderate. The orchestration is well-factored and the happy paths for both shipped recipes are genuinely covered. Both blocking findings are on the fail-safe machinery rather than the search math, but finding 1 can silently produce a wrong KV selection with two recipes that ship in this same PR, so I'd want it closed before merge.

Commenting: the design gate and all of cjluo-nv's earlier findings are now resolved, but the two blocking findings from the last round (stale KV checkpoint reuse, fail-open K/V pre-check) are still present verbatim in the branch.
Needs action:
- Fingerprint the preceding non-K/V quantizer state in
_search_signature(kv_cache_auto_quant.py), orwarn()inmodel_quant.pywhen a KV checkpoint is restored on an already-quantized model — the two recipes shipped here have identical KV signatures, so one--kv_auto_quantize_checkpointpath silently reuses FP8-baseline scores for the NVFP4 run. See inline. - Skip
parent_class-scoped entries in_quantize_config_explicitly_enables_kv(examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py); the five trailingparent_class: nn.* / quantizer_name: '*'rows indefault_disabled_quantizersreset the tracker toFalse, so the pre-check fails open. Add a regression test with that unit imported last. - Run the K/V pre-check for the
quantize+ weightauto_quantize+kv_auto_quantizeshape too, not onlyprimary_is_kv(CodeRabbit's point, same change as above).
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the design-gate rationale in the PR body, the
entry["enable"]dead fallback, and the "KV-primary recipes" wording in CLI help + README. The renamedtest_public_kv_autoquant_preserves_preceding_weight_quantizationis a justified update to changed behavior.

Bot comment.
Still open from the previous round. Dropping the is_quantized(model) gate adds a dimension the KV checkpoint signature does not capture: _search_signature (kv_cache_auto_quant.py) fingerprints only schema version, calib/score step counts, candidate configs, and per-layer K/V widths — nothing about the weight/activation quantizers that shape the KL-div scores.
fp8_ptq_then_kv_fp8_nvfp4_cast_kl_div_at_5p4bits and nvfp4_fp8_gradient_then_kv_fp8_nvfp4_cast_kl_div_at_5p4bits ship identical KV candidates, score_size: 128, and disabled_layers, so for the same model and calib settings their signatures are byte-identical. Reusing one --kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint across both passes _checkpoint_state_is_compatible, skips _estimate_sensitivity_scores, and selects per-layer KV formats from FP8-baseline scores under an NVFP4 baseline — no error, no warning. The only mitigation today is a sentence in the PR body.
Either fold a digest of the enabled non-K/V quantizer state (name, num_bits, block_sizes) into the signature, or at minimum warn() loudly here when a checkpoint is restored on an already-quantized model.

Addressed in fef442a. KV checkpoint compatibility now fingerprints enabled non-K/V quantizers by name, num_bits, and block_sizes. The new regression proves an FP8-baseline checkpoint is rejected under an NVFP4 baseline before any scoring callback runs.

Bot comment.
Still open from the previous round: this pre-check fails open for the most likely way a user writes the offending config, because parent_class is ignored.
modelopt_recipes/configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers.yaml ends with five parent_class: nn.BatchNorm*/nn.LeakyReLU/nn.Embedding entries whose quantizer_name is '*' and enable: false. The loop reads only quantizer_name, so each of those matches pattern == "*" and resets enabled["k_bmm_quantizer"] = enabled["v_bmm_quantizer"] = False, even though they can never scope a BMM quantizer. Every shipped PTQ recipe imports that unit last (after the KV unit), so a user lifting such a block into a KV-primary quantize: stage gets False here, pays a full max-calibration pass, and only then hits the backstop ValueError — exactly the late failure this check was added to prevent.

if entry.get("parent_class") is not None:

...Secondary (CodeRabbit's point, same function): suffix = pattern.rsplit(".", 1)[-1] only strips a dot-separated prefix, so *self_attn*k_bmm_quantizer keeps its prefix and fnmatch("k_bmm_quantizer", ...) is False. Matching a representative qualified name against the original pattern closes both. Please add a regression test with default_disabled_quantizers appended after a KV unit.

Addressed in fef442a. The static check now ignores parent_class-scoped rules and matches both fully qualified and dotless cross-segment K/V patterns. The parameterized regression covers an appended nn.Embedding deny-all entry and self_attnk_bmm_quantizer; the converted-model guard is unchanged.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Nudge: both blocking findings from the last round are genuinely fixed with regression tests, but the third action item (running the K/V pre-check for the quantize + weight auto_quantize + kv_auto_quantize shape) is still unimplemented and unanswered.
Needs action:
- Run the K/V pre-check for the weight-primary follow-up shape in
_run_auto_quantize_recipe(examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py): it is still gated onprimary_is_kv and fixed_quantize_config is not None, so aquantizeblock that enables K/V quantizers survives the whole weight search and only trips the backstopValueErrorin the follow-up KV stage. Or state why the late failure is acceptable. - Confirm that omitting
constant_amax/calibrated_amaxfrom_preceding_quantizer_signature(modelopt/torch/quantization/kv_cache_auto_quant.py) is intentional — two preceding stages with equalnum_bits/block_sizesbut different scales still share a checkpoint signature. - Have a human review the agent-authored composition end to end (12 files, +820/-88, 7 directories).
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the stale-KV-checkpoint reuse (signature now fingerprints enabled non-K/V quantizers, with a rejection test) and the fail-open
parent_classpre-check (parent-scoped rows skipped, dotless-glob regression added). The renamedtest_public_kv_autoquant_preserves_preceding_weight_quantizationmatches the intentionally changed behavior.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] The preceding-baseline fingerprint captures only num_bits and block_sizes, which is too coarse to reject every baseline change that moves the KV sensitivity scores.
Two GEMM baselines that this signature considers identical:
- FP8 per-tensor (
num_bits=(4,3),axis=None) vs FP8 per-channel (num_bits=(4,3),axis=0) — same bits, same (absent) block sizes, materially different activations feeding the attention BMMs. - The same recipe recalibrated on a different
--calib_size/ dataset — differentamax, identical signature.
Because _checkpoint_state_is_compatible treats an equal signature as "safe to reuse", a run that changes the fixed GEMM stage in either of those ways and reuses --kv_auto_quantize_checkpoint silently replays sensitivity scores measured against the old baseline, and _solve then picks a per-layer K/V map for a model that no longer matches. That is exactly the failure this field was added to prevent, and it fails silently (no warning, valid-looking export) rather than loudly.
Suggest at minimum adding axis to each entry, and, since amax is the other input the scores depend on, folding in a cheap scalar digest of it (e.g. float(module.amax.float().sum()) when amax is present, guarded for None) rather than the tensor itself so dict equality stays well-defined:
{
"name": name,
"num_bits": copy.deepcopy(module.num_bits),
"axis": copy.deepcopy(module.axis),
"block_sizes": copy.deepcopy(module.block_sizes),
"amax_digest": (
None if getattr(module, "amax", None) is None
else float(module.amax.detach().float().abs().sum())
),
}If hashing amax is considered too strict for resume ergonomics, axis alone still closes the per-tensor/per-channel hole and the README's "use a new KV checkpoint path whenever the preceding GEMM configuration changes" becomes enforceable rather than advisory.

[SUGGESTION] Two gaps in this pre-check let a KV-enabling fixed stage slip past it:
entry.get("parent_class") is not None: continuedrops the entry wholesale. A rule like{"parent_class": "LlamaAttention", "quantizer_name": "*_bmm_quantizer", "cfg": {...}}genuinely enables K/V but is skipped. Theparent_classfilter only narrows which modules match — it never turns a K/V-targetingquantizer_nameinto a non-K/V rule.- The
qualified_name = f"model.layers.0.self_attn.{name}"probe hardcodes one attention path shape. A pattern anchored elsewhere —*.language_model.*.attention.*_bmm_quantizeron a VL model, or a Megatron-style*.core_attention.*— matches neitherfnmatcharm, andpattern.endswith(name)is also false because the pattern ends in*_bmm_quantizer, so it reads as "not enabled".
Neither is fail-open: _auto_quantize_kv_cache still raises on enabled K/V quantizers, so the run aborts correctly. But the whole point of this helper (per the pytest.fail("fixed PTQ must not start") assertion in the new test) is to fail before paying for a full calibration pass, and in both cases the user pays for it and then fails anyway.
Cheapest fix that removes both: stop skipping parent_class entries, and probe against a small set of shapes instead of one, e.g.
_KV_PROBE_PREFIXES = ("", "model.layers.0.self_attn.", "model.language_model.layers.0.attention.")
def _quantize_config_explicitly_enables_kv(quant_cfg: dict[str, Any]) -> bool:
"""Detect explicit K/V rules while preserving their ordered override semantics."""
enabled = dict.fromkeys(("k_bmm_quantizer", "v_bmm_quantizer"), False)

continue
for name in enabled:
if any(fnmatch(f"{prefix}{name}", pattern) for prefix in _KV_PROBE_PREFIXES):
enabled[name] = entry["enable"]
return any(enabled.values())Also consider entry.get("enable", True) instead of entry["enable"]: every value reaching here today comes from QuantizeConfig.model_dump() (where enable defaults to True), but _prepare_quant_cfg appends raw dicts into quant_cfg["quant_cfg"] and a future appender that omits enable would turn this into a KeyError.

[SUGGESTION] Downgrading this from NotImplementedError to a warning is the stated point of the PR, so no objection to the direction — but note what the emitted artifact now looks like to a runtime that does read the existing keys: quant_algo: "FP8" (supported today) alongside kv_cache_quant_algo: "MIXED_PRECISION" (not a value any released consumer knows). Before this change that pairing was unreachable; now it is producible from a single hf_ptq.py invocation, and the only signal is a UserWarning in the middle of a multi-minute PTQ log — which Python may also swallow entirely under -W ignore or a simplefilter set by an earlier import.
Two cheap ways to keep the new capability while making the artifact self-describing:
- Record the unsupported combination in the config itself (e.g. an explicit
kv_cache_export_only: truenext tokv_cache_schema_version) so a loader can refuse it instead of guessing, rather than relying on the human having read the warning. - Or gate it behind an explicit opt-in (an
--allow_unsupported_kv_export-style flag threaded down fromhf_ptq.py), keeping the hard error as the default for users who hit this combination accidentally.
Either preserves the composed workflow this PR enables without making "silently undeployable" the default outcome.

[SUGGESTION] This replaces hf_ptq.auto_quantize outright, so the test asserts only on the kwargs the orchestrator would pass — stage order, allow_uniform_kv, and checkpoint routing. That is useful wiring coverage, but it means the PR's headline composition (weight AutoQuantize → KV AutoQuantize) has no test that runs the real path anywhere in the suite:
test_hf_ptq_runs_fixed_ptq_before_kv_autoquantizeexercises fixed-PTQ → KV for real.test_public_kv_autoquant_preserves_preceding_weight_quantizationexercisesmtq.quantize→ KV for real.- Nothing exercises
mtq.auto_quantize(weight) →mtq.auto_quantize(KV) on an actual model.
That is the composition with the most state to get wrong: the second search relies on stage 1's conversion having created disabled k_bmm_quantizer/v_bmm_quantizer attributes (otherwise _eligible_layers raises), on stage 1 leaving them disabled (otherwise the new _auto_quantize_kv_cache guard raises), and on the leftover weight QuantRecipeHparams not perturbing KV scoring. All three hold as far as I can tell from reading, but none is asserted.
Per CONTRIBUTING's "Exercise the behavior a test claims to validate" / "Prefer the highest-level test that runs the real code path", consider one end-to-end test on the tiny fixture — a two-candidate weight search followed by the KV search on get_tiny_llama(num_hidden_layers=1), asserting the selected weight quantizers survive and the K/V map is populated — and keeping this mock-based test only for the checkpoint-routing assertions it uniquely covers.

Claude review — composed GEMM + KV-cache AutoQuantize
Scope: full review (the trigger comment carried no scoping instructions). 12 changed files; reviewed all of modelopt/ and examples/ plus the two new recipe YAMLs and the four touched test files. For composition reasoning I also read kv_cache_auto_quant.py (searcher lifecycle, _eligible_layers, _freeze_existing_quantizers), model_quant.py, opt/searcher.py (BaseSearcher), and the AutoQuantizeConfig validators.
Findings: CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 1 · SUGGESTION: 3
IMPORTANT — stale KV checkpoints can be silently accepted (kv_cache_auto_quant.py:483). _preceding_quantizer_signature fingerprints the preceding GEMM baseline with num_bits + block_sizes only. FP8 per-tensor and FP8 per-channel produce identical signatures, as does the same recipe recalibrated on different data. _checkpoint_state_is_compatible then reuses sensitivity scores measured against the old baseline and _solve picks a per-layer K/V map for a model that no longer matches — no warning, valid-looking export. Adding axis (and ideally a scalar amax digest) closes it and makes the README's "use a new KV checkpoint path whenever the preceding GEMM configuration changes" enforceable instead of advisory.
SUGGESTIONs (non-blocking): the _quantize_config_explicitly_enables_kv pre-check skips parent_class-scoped rules and probes a single hardcoded attention path, so some KV-enabling fixed stages pay for a full calibration pass before the _auto_quantize_kv_cache guard aborts them (fail-late, not fail-open); the uniform-weight + mixed-KV export downgrade now emits quant_algo: FP8 next to kv_cache_quant_algo: MIXED_PRECISION with only a UserWarning to mark it undeployable; and the headline weight-AutoQuantize to KV-AutoQuantize composition is covered only by a fully-mocked test.
What checks out
- Mode/state composition. Skipping
apply_mode("auto_quantize")whenis_quantized(model)is correct: the preceding stage's conversion already created the (disabled)k_bmm_quantizer/v_bmm_quantizerattributes_eligible_layersrequires, and_eligible_layersraises rather than silently selecting nothing if it did not.BaseSearcher.before_searchis a no-op andsearch()never samples the search space, so the leftover weightQuantRecipeHparams from stage 1 are not perturbed by the KV searcher. Restore fidelity holds because the quantize-mode metadata re-reads live quantizer state at save time, so_apply_layer_quantizers'setattrswap round-trips. - Fail-closed ordering. Dropping the blanket
is_quantizedrejection in favour of the enabled-K/V check is the right trade, and the check runs before any mutation. The deny-allset_quantizer_by_cfgis correctly gated onconverted_for_searchso the preceding weight quantizers survive. - Calibration freezing. With
algorithm: Noneon both built-in recipes' candidates no calibration loop runs at all; where a user suppliesalgorithm: max,_freeze_existing_quantizersdisables only the other quantizers' calibrators without changing their execution mode, so the scoring baseline is stable. - Export.
needs_layerwise_kv_metadatadegrades correctly to the uniformkv_cache_quant_algoschema when the KV search happens to select one format for every layer, so the deployable cases stay deployable. - Recipe validation. Gating the three structural checks on
not primary_is_kvdoes not open a hole —AutoQuantizeConfig._has_search_spaceindependently requirescandidate_formatsfor akv_cacheconfig and rejectsmodule_search_spaces. Thekv_auto_quantizefield is additive with aNonedefault, and_checkpoint_state_is_compatible's legacy fallback correctly accepts pre-composition checkpoints only for an unquantized baseline while rejecting the reverse direction. - Layerwise export is already refused for AutoQuantize recipes upstream, so the layerwise branches
_prepare_quant_cfginherits are unreachable from the composed path; the FSDP2 preload guard picks up the composed recipe via the widened_recipe_is_kv_auto_quantize.
Risk: low-to-moderate. The composition is additive and every new path is fail-closed at the mtq boundary; the extraction of _prepare_quant_cfg is behaviour-preserving. The one IMPORTANT finding is the only place where a wrong result can be produced silently rather than raised, and it needs a specific user action (reusing a KV checkpoint across a changed GEMM baseline) to trigger.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: new feature.
Follow-up to merged #2272. Adds composition of existing GEMM quantization with KV-cache AutoQuantize:
kv_auto_quantizerecipe stage with independent method, constraints, candidates, and checkpoint path;hf_ptq.pyorchestration that keeps selected weight/activation QDQ active while its calibration state remains frozen during KV candidate calibration;The KV search still uses the public
mtq.auto_quantize(..., constraints={"cost_model": "kv_cache", ...})API from #2272. On a converted model, the API preserves existing non-KV quantizers and requires K/V to be disabled before search. Fresh-model behavior is unchanged and starts from a deny-all quantizer baseline.Why a follow-up field instead of a generic stage list?
This PR deliberately supports the two composition forms required by
hf_ptq.pywithout replacing the stable recipe schema. Existing recipes already express a fixedquantizebaseline plus one primaryauto_quantizesearch. A generic orderedstageslist would require a broader recipe/API migration, indexed checkpoint semantics, and compatibility rules for arbitrary stage sequences. There is not yet a demonstrated third search stage that justifies that surface-area change.The two searches are not combined inside
mtq.auto_quantize: each invocation owns one search domain, constraint model, scoring method, and resumable checkpoint. Their ordering and independent checkpoint paths are orchestration concerns, while candidate calibration, scoring, selection, and state application remain in the shared public API. A general stage pipeline can be considered separately if more than this one optional KV follow-up is needed.This PR does not change either solver, scoring protocol, or checkpoint schema.
Usage
Fixed FP8 GEMM PTQ followed by KV AutoQuantize:
Weight AutoQuantize followed by KV AutoQuantize:
Use a new KV checkpoint path whenever the preceding GEMM configuration or selection changes.
