[CRITICAL ModeState] Exact type(module).__name__ matching breaks composition with ModelOpt's own DynamicModule class swap.
modelopt/torch/nas/plugins/megatron.py:660 registers Megatron's GDN into the NAS/pruning registry:
@DMRegistry.register({GatedDeltaNet: "megatron.core.ssm.gated_delta_net.GatedDeltaNet"})
class _DynamicGatedDeltaNet(_DynamicAttention):_DMRegistryCls.convert performs an in-place class swap (modelopt/torch/opt/dynamic.py:639, module.__class__ = cls) to a synthesized class named f"{prefix}{nn_cls.__name__}" (dynamic.py:921). So once a NAS/pruning mode converts a Megatron hybrid model, type(module).__name__ is _DynamicGatedDeltaNet, not GatedDeltaNet.
Why it matters — the previous normalized-substring match ("gateddeltanet" in class_name) did match _DynamicGatedDeltaNet, so this is a regression in two directions:
dasc→mtn.convert/mtp.prune→mto.save(model):update_dasc_metadata→validate_dasc_model_structure→_get_gdn_modulesraisesApplyModeError("DASC found no supported GDN modules"). Because that call sits outside the new try/except, the whole save fails and the pruning state is lost too — exactly the "save must stay non-fatal" failure this PR set out to fix.mtn.convert→calibrate(...): fails with the same misleading "found no supported GDN modules" on a model that plainly has them.
Nothing in next_modes/next_prohibited_modes prevents either ordering.
Suggested fix — keep fail-closed semantics but resolve through the MRO so dynamic subclasses of a supported base still match, e.g.:
def _is_gdn_module(module: nn.Module) -> bool:
"""Return whether a module has one of the explicitly supported GDN implementations."""
return (
any(base.__name__ in _SUPPORTED_GDN_CLASS_NAMES for base in type(module).__mro__)
and isinstance(getattr(module, "A_log", None), torch.Tensor)
and isinstance(getattr(module, "dt_bias", None), torch.Tensor)
)This still rejects unrelated implementations that merely expose similarly named decay tensors (the documented goal), while accepting _DynamicGatedDeltaNet. Note the existing test UnsupportedGatedDeltaNet(GatedDeltaNet) asserts the opposite; if hand-written subclasses must stay rejected, the DM-generated classes need an explicit allowance instead (e.g. also accept names produced by DMRegistry.prefix).
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in signed commit cfd7053 via #2379. Supported implementations are now recognized through the class MRO, which accepts ModelOpt synthesized _DynamicGatedDeltaNet classes because their MRO includes the registered GatedDeltaNet base. An unrelated lookalike with A_log and dt_bias remains rejected. The regression test swaps in a dynamic-style subclass and verifies strict export still succeeds.

[IMPORTANT ModeState] validate_dasc_model_structure still raises here, so save/compose is only partly non-fatal.
The docstring now promises to "refresh metadata without making unrelated ModelOpt save or compose paths unusable", and the decay-parameter check was correctly demoted to a warning. But the structure check on this line is outside the try/except and still raises ApplyModeError, which propagates out of mto.save() / mto.modelopt_state() / any subsequent apply_mode() (via update_last_state_before_new_mode).
Why it matters — the raise is reachable without the user doing anything wrong:
_get_gdn_modulesraises "no supported GDN modules" whenever the GDN class no longer matches exactly (see the_DynamicGatedDeltaNetcase onpolicy.py:66).- Any structural edit to the GDN stack (layer count / head count) makes the model unsavable for every mode in the state, not just DASC.
A stale policy should never be able to destroy a checkpoint containing other modes' state.
Suggested fix — treat structure staleness the same way as decay staleness: warn on save, stay strict on export.
def update_dasc_metadata(model: nn.Module, config: DASCConfig, metadata: MetadataDict) -> None:
"""Refresh metadata without making unrelated ModelOpt save or compose paths unusable."""

f"{error}. The saved DASC policy is stale; re-run calibrate() before deployment",
stacklevel=2,
)
metadata.clear()
metadata["policy"] = copy.deepcopy(policy.model_dump(mode="json"))export_policy() already calls both validators directly, so deployment export stays fail-closed. Worth adding a negative test that mto.save() still succeeds when the GDN structure changed after calibration.

Addressed in signed commit cfd7053 via #2379. Both structure and decay validation now run inside the non-fatal stale-policy handler used by save and composition; export_policy() still calls both validators directly and remains strict. A new test changes the GDN head count, verifies mto.save() succeeds with a stale-policy warning, and verifies export rejects the structure.

[IMPORTANT ModeState] Dropping next_prohibited_modes makes dasc stack without bound in modelopt_state.
calibrate() goes through apply_mode(model, mode=[("dasc", cfg)], ...), and ModeloptStateManager.add_mode unconditionally appends (modelopt/torch/opt/conversion.py:296, self._state.append(...)). With the guard removed, nothing collapses a re-application, so calling calibrate() N times leaves N ("dasc", ...) entries in modelopt_state_dict.
Why it matters:
- Checkpoint growth is linear in recalibration count. Each entry embeds a full
DASCPolicy— everyDASCCalibrationMeasurementplusstatic_horizonsfor every head of every GDN layer. On a real Qwen3-Next this is not small, and it is duplicated per recalibration. - Stale policies are persisted permanently. Only the last entry is refreshed on save (
update_last_state_before_savetouchesself._state[-1]only,conversion.py:306-312). Earlier entries keep the pre-recalibration policy forever, andrestore_dasc_modelwill happily attach each one in turn during replay before the final entry overwrites it — so mid-restore the model transiently carries a policy that does not describe its weights. mto.modelopt_state(model)now reportsdascseveral times, which is surprising for anything that inspects applied modes.
The test only recalibrates once with an identical config, so none of this shows up.
Suggested fix — supersede in place rather than append. Keep the guard and have calibrate() handle re-calibration explicitly, e.g. detect an existing dasc entry via ModeloptStateManager and rewrite that entry's config + metadata (this also gives a natural place to drop the now-stale policy). If appending really is the intended semantics, please say so in the docstring for calibrate() and in docs/source/guides/6_sparsity.rst — the guide's "Re-running calibrate supersedes a stale policy" wording reads as replacement, which is not what happens to the serialized state.

Addressed in signed commit cfd7053 via #2379. The repeat-mode prohibition is restored. Public calibrate() now detects existing DASC state and replaces that entry in place through ModeloptStateManager, updating both config and policy metadata and collapsing any provisional duplicates. The test changes provenance during recalibration and asserts the serialized mode list contains exactly one updated dasc entry.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] BF16 canonicalization only stabilizes the hash for BF16/FP32 — an FP16 model still gets a false "does not match" rejection.
The canonicalization works because fp32 → bf16 is idempotent, so a model.to(torch.bfloat16) cast hashes identically (which the new test_dtype_cast_preserves_policy_... covers). It does not hold for FP16: fp32 → fp16 → bf16 is a double rounding (11 significand bits, then 8) and differs from fp32 → bf16 whenever the FP16 step carries a value across BF16's round-to-nearest-even boundary. Over a real A_log/dt_bias pair with dozens of heads, at least one element differing is likely, not exotic.
Why it matters — FP16 is a first-class inference dtype (from_pretrained(..., torch_dtype=torch.float16)). Calibrating an FP32/BF16 checkpoint and then .half()-ing it before export_policy() raises "DASC policy does not match the model's GDN decay parameters" with no parameter having actually changed, and the recommended remedy (re-run calibrate()) requires re-running the caller's whole paired evaluation. Same for mto.save(), which now emits a spurious "policy is stale" warning.
Suggested fix — canonicalize onto a grid that is independent of the storage dtype rather than onto one specific float format. The cheapest version, given compute_gdn_decay_horizons already upcasts to float64:
_DECAY_HASH_DECIMALS = 3 # coarser than bf16 unit roundoff (2**-9 ~= 2e-3)

](Rounding on a decimal grid has its own tie-boundary caveat, but it is dtype-agnostic, so BF16, FP16 and FP32 all land on the same value.) Either way, the safety here really comes from the new horizon-equivalence and retained-mask checks in validate_dasc_decay_parameters — the exact hash is the brittle part. Please extend test_dtype_cast_preserves_policy_when_the_selected_mask_is_unchanged to parametrize over torch.bfloat16 and torch.float16.

Addressed in signed commit cfd7053 via #2379. The exact BF16 digest is now explicitly calibration provenance, not the deployment-validity gate. Export re-derives numerical horizons with cast tolerance and exact-compares the selected retained-head mask, which is the runtime-relevant contract. The dtype regression is parameterized over both BF16 and FP16.

[SUGGESTION] extra="forbid" and validate_assignment=True are already inherited — only protected_namespaces=() is new.
ModeloptBaseConfig sets exactly those two (modelopt/torch/opt/config.py:74):
model_config = PyDanticConfigDict(extra="forbid", validate_assignment=True)Pydantic v2 merges a subclass's model_config into the parent's, so re-stating them here is a no-op today but silently pins DASC to the current values — if the base class ever changes one, DASCConfig/DASCPolicy won't follow, and the divergence is invisible at the call site. Narrowing it to just the new setting keeps the inheritance intact and makes the Pydantic-compat intent obvious:

| model_config = ConfigDict(protected_namespaces=()) |

[SUGGESTION] The name _HORIZON_DTYPE_CAST_RTOL overstates what this 5% window can absorb.
validate_dasc_decay_parameters raises on the exact decay_parameters_sha256 mismatch before reaching the torch.allclose on line 294, so by the time the tolerance is applied the BF16-canonicalized parameters are already bit-identical. The only residual difference the tolerance can ever see is sub-BF16-roundoff (≤ 2⁻⁹ ≈ 0.2%, amplified through softplus), which makes 5% roughly 25× wider than needed — and it can't widen the gate either, since the hash gate dominates.
That's not a correctness hole, but the constant reads as though a 5% horizon drift were tolerated, which is misleading for anyone tuning it later. Consider deriving it from the canonicalization dtype and saying so, e.g.:
# Residual slack after the exact BF16-canonicalized parameter hash matches: only
# sub-roundoff differences from the caller's storage dtype can reach the comparison.
_HORIZON_DTYPE_CAST_RTOL = 8 * torch.finfo(torch.bfloat16).epsThe genuinely load-bearing check in this function is the retained mask comparison right below it (a head whose horizon straddles selected_wmax), which is a good addition — a brief comment saying the allclose is a redundant guard and the mask comparison is the real gate would help future readers.

Addressed by the validation change in signed commit cfd7053 via #2379. The exact BF16 digest no longer dominates export validation, so the 5 percent horizon tolerance now genuinely absorbs ordinary FP16/BF16 storage casts. The constant comment states that the exact retained-head mask is the semantic gate, and both dtype paths are covered by tests.

Findings
| Severity | Count |
|---|---|
| CRITICAL | 1 |
| IMPORTANT | 3 |
| SUGGESTION | 2 |
Most impactful
1. [CRITICAL ModeState] Exact GDN class-name matching regresses mode composition — policy.py:66
Switching from the normalized-substring match to type(module).__name__ in _SUPPORTED_GDN_CLASS_NAMES is a genuine regression, not just a tightening. modelopt/torch/nas/plugins/megatron.py:660 registers Megatron's GatedDeltaNet into DMRegistry, and _DMRegistryCls.convert swaps the class in place (opt/dynamic.py:639) to a synthesized f"{prefix}{nn_cls.__name__}" name (dynamic.py:921). The old substring match accepted _DynamicGatedDeltaNet; the new exact match does not. Consequences, neither of which any next_modes/next_prohibited_modes declaration prevents:
dasc→mtn.convert/mtp.prune→mto.save(model)raises"DASC found no supported GDN modules"fromupdate_dasc_metadata, failing the entire save and taking the pruning state with it.mtn.convert→calibrate(...)fails with the same misleading message on a model that plainly has GDN layers.
Resolving through type(module).__mro__ keeps the documented fail-closed behavior for unrelated implementations while accepting DM-generated subclasses.
2. [IMPORTANT ModeState] update_dasc_metadata is only half non-fatal — conversion.py:101
The decay-parameter check was correctly demoted to a warning, but validate_dasc_model_structure on the line above the try block still raises out of mto.save() / mto.modelopt_state() / any later apply_mode(). That is the trigger for finding 1's save failure, and it also means any structural edit to the GDN stack makes the checkpoint unsavable for every mode in the state. Moving it inside the same try matches the PR's stated goal; export_policy() calls both validators directly, so deployment export stays strict.
3. [IMPORTANT ModeState] Removing next_prohibited_modes lets dasc stack without bound — mode.py
add_mode unconditionally appends (opt/conversion.py:296), so N calibrate() calls leave N ("dasc", ...) entries, each embedding a full DASCPolicy (all measurements + per-head horizons for every layer). Only the last entry is refreshed on save (update_last_state_before_save touches _state[-1] only), so earlier entries persist pre-recalibration policies indefinitely and restore_dasc_model attaches each in turn during replay. I traced the restore path end to end — it does converge on the correct final policy, including when configs differ between calibrations — so this is checkpoint bloat and stale-metadata hygiene rather than state corruption, but it is a real regression from the guard that was deliberately removed. Superseding the existing entry in place would be preferable; if appending is intended, the guide's "supersedes a stale policy" wording should be qualified.
4. [IMPORTANT Compatibility] BF16 canonicalization doesn't cover FP16 — policy.py:124-137
fp32 → bf16 is idempotent, so the BF16 cast case works (and is tested). fp32 → fp16 → bf16 is a double rounding (11 then 8 significand bits) and diverges from fp32 → bf16 at BF16's round-to-nearest-even boundaries, so calibrating an FP32/BF16 checkpoint and then .half()-ing it before export_policy() still yields a false "does not match the model's GDN decay parameters" — with the remedy being a full re-run of the caller's paired evaluation. A dtype-independent grid (e.g. round(value, 3) on the float64 values) fixes all three dtypes uniformly. Worth parametrizing the new dtype-cast test over float16 as well.
Two SUGGESTIONs are posted inline: the re-declared extra="forbid", validate_assignment=True in the new model_config blocks is already inherited from ModeloptBaseConfig (opt/config.py:74) and only protected_namespaces=() is new; and _HORIZON_DTYPE_CAST_RTOL = 0.05 is ~25× wider than the residual it can actually see, since the exact hash gate runs first.
Verified correct (no action needed)
- The
__init__.pyswitch from star-imports to an explicit__all__drops nothing — all entries ofapi.__all__,config.__all__andpolicy.__all__are present. - The new structure comparison in
validate_dasc_model_structureis well-formed:_get_gdn_modulesreturns a name-sorted dict andpolicy_structureusessorted(policy.layers.items()), with matching key sets. - The retained-head rule
horizon > selected_wmaxis consistent acrossbuild_dasc_policy,DASCPolicy.validate_policy, and the new check invalidate_dasc_decay_parameters— the mask comparison is the load-bearing gate here and is a good addition. test_perplexity_retention_accepts_parity_improvementsis meaningful despite assigning to a nested model:ModeloptBaseConfigsetsvalidate_assignment=True, so the relaxedgt=0.0bound is genuinely exercised.- The
measurements=Noneguard inconvert_dasc_modelgives genericapply_modecallers an actionable error without affecting the restore path.
Risk assessment
Medium-high. The individual changes are well-scoped and the fail-closed intent is right, but the class-matching tightening and the partial non-fatal save combine into a concrete composition failure with Megatron NAS/pruning that costs users a whole checkpoint save. Findings 1 and 2 should be fixed together; 3 and 4 are narrower but both live in the state/deployment contract this PR is trying to harden.
