What does this PR do?

Fix a problem for autocast that caused Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct to have a shape mismatch problem during inference.

During dynamic shape computations, original code will replace number with unk, for example:

RoPE Slice outputs: [batch, 2, sequence, 32]
RoPE Concat output: [batch, 2, sequence, 64]
Mul_3 output: [batch, 2, sequence, 64]

to

Slice: [batch, unk, sequence, unk] # actually 2 × 32
Concat: [batch, unk, sequence, unk] # actually 2 × 64
Mul_3: [batch, unk, sequence, unk] # actually 2 × 64

ORT believes these identically named dimensions are equal. Its memory planner consequently selects a previously allocated 32-wide buffer for the 64-wide Mul_3 result. At execution, ORT discovers the actual shapes disagree and raises the error.

This fix is to remove the dim so Shape inference can then:

  • Restore numeric dimensions it can prove.
  • Establish meaningful symbolic relationships where possible.
  • Leave other dimensions anonymous or give them distinct generated symbols.

This prevents false equality between 32-wide and 64-wide tensors that caused error.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved dynamic shape handling during model conversion by clearing concrete dimension values without replacing them with an "unk" alias.
    • Fixed compatibility for models with symbolic batch and sequence dimensions, including rotary-position embedding (RoPE) graphs.
    • Preserved correct output shapes and rotation values when converted models run with ONNX Runtime.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for dynamic RoPE-shaped models converted to FP16.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Shape clearing now removes concrete dimension values instead of assigning "unk" as a symbolic dimension. A regression test validates dynamic RoPE-shaped graphs after FP16 conversion and ONNX Runtime execution.

Changes

Dynamic shape clearing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clear concrete dimensions
modelopt/onnx/autocast/utils.py
The shape-clearing logic clears dim_value fields. Its documentation describes the updated behavior.
Validate dynamic RoPE shapes
tests/unit/onnx/autocast/test_precisionconverter.py
A regression test builds a dynamic RoPE-shaped graph, converts it to FP16, checks symbolic dimensions, runs ONNX Runtime, and validates output shape and rotation values.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 16f30

The production fix is present, but the regression test can miss the same class of shape-aliasing bug when a different symbolic name is used. Strengthen the assertion before merge to protect dynamic-shape inference behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert dimension relationships, not only the unk token.

Line 2818 accepts any shared dim_param except "unk". A conversion that aliases the cleared width dimensions as "shared" will pass this test. Assert the inferred width axes for upper_half and rotated remain 32 and 64, or assert the relevant symbolic dimensions are distinct.
