What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Adds opt-in Dynamo ONNX export for ModelOpt-quantized PyTorch models through get_onnx_bytes_and_metadata(...).

  • Supports FP8, INT8, INT4 AWQ, MXFP8, NVFP4, and mixed AutoQuant.
  • Uses one private ONNXScript translation table for Dynamo capture and strict fallback.
  • Supports canonical Linear, MatMul, and Gemm weight paths with opset 21 or newer.
  • Preserves the legacy exporter and opset 20 defaults.
  • Adds example CLI options, documentation, changelog coverage, and focused tests.

Usage

from modelopt.torch._deploy.utils import OnnxBytes, get_onnx_bytes_and_metadata

onnx_bytes, metadata = get_onnx_bytes_and_metadata(
    model,
    (sample_input,),
    dynamo_export=True,
    onnx_opset=24,
)
OnnxBytes.from_bytes(onnx_bytes).write_to_disk("onnx_model")

Testing

  • CUDA-hidden focused Dynamo export tests: 21 passed, 1 skipped.
  • Quantizer CPU regression controls: 67 passed.
  • MXFP8 and NVFP4 postprocessing tests: 6 passed.
  • Focused cross-version coverage passed on PyTorch 2.8–2.11, 2.13, and 2.14.
  • GPU Dynamo exports passed for FP8, INT8, and MXFP8.
  • NVFP4 export and TensorRT build passed on Blackwell.
  • Reduced FP8 CLI export and TensorRT build passed.
  • Changed-file pre-commit checks and git diff --check passed.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

Make sure you read and follow Contributor guidelines and your commits are signed (git commit -s -S).

Make sure you read and follow the Security Best Practices.

  • Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — Dynamo export is opt-in.
  • 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?: ✅
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: N/A — draft PR; review has not been requested.

Additional Information

Supersedes #2321 with a smaller helper-only design using one Dynamo lowering path.

Direct torch.onnx.export(..., dynamo=True) is outside the supported interface. Dynamic axes, shared quantized weights, and arbitrary weight-view or fanout topologies are not supported.

Two correctness follow-ups remain before marking the PR ready: legacy FP4 converter opset registration and NVFP4 passthrough topology handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds opt-in Dynamo ONNX export for supported quantized PyTorch models. It adds TensorRT quantization translations, graph processing for multiple formats, CLI and documentation updates, and CPU export tests.

Changes

Dynamo ONNX export

Layer / File(s) Summary
Quantization translation contracts
modelopt/torch/quantization/_dynamo_onnx.py, modelopt/torch/quantization/tensor_quant.py, modelopt/torch/quantization/nn/modules/tensor_quantizer.py
Quantization operators now carry export metadata. ONNXScript translations support FP8, INT8, INT4, FP4, and MXFP8 paths.
Dynamo export orchestration
modelopt/torch/_deploy/utils/torch_onnx.py, modelopt/onnx/export/base_exporter.py, modelopt/onnx/export/fp8_exporter.py
Dynamo export validates opset and dynamic-axis settings, uses custom translations, disables fallback where supported, and synchronizes initializer metadata.
Quantized graph processing
modelopt/onnx/export/int4_exporter.py, modelopt/onnx/export/mxfp8_exporter.py, modelopt/onnx/export/nvfp4_exporter.py
Format exporters validate weight paths, materialize constants, update scales and weights, and emit required operator domains.
Export integration and guidance
examples/onnx_ptq/download_example_onnx.py, examples/torch_onnx/*, docs/source/guides/_pytorch_quantization.rst, CHANGELOG.rst
Examples and documentation expose Dynamo export, opset selection, supported formats, and INT4 AWQ build restrictions.
Dynamo export validation

Register the trt opset in fp4qdq_to_2dq.

When the input model lacks a trt opset import, fp4qdq_to_2dq calls _replace_fp4qdq_with_2dq, which emits a trt-domain DequantizeLinear, then returns without adding the import. Add the same guarded registration used by NVFP4QuantExporter.post_process to the shim. The returned model can otherwise fail ONNX validation and TensorRT-Edge-LLM loading.

Traverse Identity in the NVFP4 weight path

The Dynamo translator emits Identity(TRT_FP4QDQ(weight)) for static NVFP4. This live node survives graph cleanup and reaches NVFP4QuantExporter.pre_process, where _validate_linear_weight_path stops at Identity and raises before conversion. Treat Identity as a passthrough before validating the terminal MatMul/Gemm.

Preserve the input dtype in dynamic FP4 translation.

The dynamic operator contract returns a tensor with the input dtype. This translation casts inputs to output_dtype, then returns the FP4 result as output_dtype. When high_precision_dtype differs from the input dtype, the exported output type can violate the operator contract and break downstream type expectations.

Capture source_dtype before the input cast and cast the final result to source_dtype.

Proposed fix
+        source_dtype = int(inputs.dtype)
         output_dtype = _resolve_dtype(inputs, high_precision_dtype)
         inputs = _cast(inputs, output_dtype)
...
-        return (
-            output
-            if output_dtype == onnx.TensorProto.FLOAT
-            else _OPSET.Cast(output, to=output_dtype)

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Comment: the new Dynamo path looks coherent, but several changes tighten or alter the existing legacy (non-Dynamo) exporters without legacy regression coverage, and the PR body itself lists two unresolved correctness follow-ups.

Needs action:

  • Close the two correctness follow-ups named in the PR body (legacy FP4 converter opset registration, NVFP4 passthrough topology) before this leaves draft.
  • Gate or justify the new strictness applied to the legacy path: NVFP4QuantExporter.pre_process now rejects topologies it used to accept, and mxfp8_exporter._get_weight_dq_nodes swaps .weight name matching for an initializer check (silently skips weights instead of erroring). Add legacy-path tests.
  • Confirm/CHANGELOG the legacy NVFP4 output change: weight DQ now emits domain="trt" plus a trt opset import, and _cast_input_dtypes now casts bias. See inline comments.
  • Confirm INT4QuantExporter.pre_process stamping block_size/axis onto legacy DQ nodes does not change what TensorRT consumes today.
  • Note in CHANGELOG.rst that dynamo_export=True now fails on the default onnx_opset=20 (existing test had to pass 21), so it is not purely additive.

No action needed:

  • Design: the PR explains it supersedes #2321, but not why _dynamo_onnx.py re-implements the lowerings already in export_onnx.py; a sentence on the two-table maintenance cost would help reviewers.

Adding domain="trt" here changes the output of the legacy (non-Dynamo) NVFP4 export too — the weight DequantizeLinear moves out of the default domain and post_process now appends a trt opset import. That is a consumer-visible change for existing NVFP4 ONNX artifacts, and the PR body lists "legacy FP4 converter opset registration" as an unfinished follow-up. Please confirm TensorRT parses the trt-domain DQ identically, cover it with a legacy-path test, and mention it in CHANGELOG.rst (the current entry only advertises the opt-in Dynamo path).

Weight-DQ detection changes from any(".weight" in inp ...) to node.input[0] in initializer_names. If a legacy graph feeds the DQ from a Constant node (or any non-initializer producer) the node is now silently dropped from the weight list, so its weights never get compressed to MXFP8 — a quiet miscompile rather than an error. Please either keep a fallback for the legacy shape or raise when a .weight-named DQ is excluded, and add a legacy-path test.

This changes the registered tensorrt::quantize_op CPU implementation for every caller, not just the Dynamo export path (previously CPU hit fake_quant_implget_cuda_ext() and the caller's try/except fell back to _tensor_quant). The behaviour looks equivalent, but it is a library-wide change worth a comment explaining why, and a CPU test asserting numerics match the previous fallback for the per-axis / block cases.

Function-local import. If the reason is that onnxscript is an optional ([onnx] extra) dependency, please say so in a short comment — note this module already imports modelopt.onnx.export at top level, which is from the same extra, so the justification isn't self-evident. Otherwise move it to the top of the file per the project convention.
