WalkthroughThe change adds five Kimi K3 FP8 quantization controls, centralizes gate resolution, and preserves deprecated environment variables. It also adds explicit lazy safetensors loading for rank-local checkpoint slices and makes lazy loading the Kimi K3 default. ChangesKimi K3 configuration and checkpoint loading
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change makes K3 lazy checkpoint loading the default and moves loading controls onto explicit configuration, but the current tests do not verify that public configuration values reach the runtime path, and added test functions still need complete type annotations. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded concerns. Sequence Diagram(s)Lazy checkpoint loadingsequenceDiagram

Add the required type annotations.
The fixture, helpers, and test functions lack parameter and return annotations. Add concrete parameter types and -> None to each test function.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Exercise the public configuration path.
QuantConfig.model_validate() only validates a bare quantization mapping. It does not parse extra_llm_api_options or verify that TorchLlmArgs.quant_config receives these values. A transport regression can make an explicit user override ineffective while this test still passes.
Construct the public LLM arguments through extra_llm_api_options, then assert the resolved quant_config values and their downstream effect.

…rs and decouple from HfWeightLoader Follow-up to the Kimi K3 / KimiLinear support in NVIDIA#17269. That PR shipped a load path validated end-to-end on a real 1.5 TB K3 checkpoint, but it reached the lazy-loading behavior through model-name conditionals in shared code and configured K3 loading through a block of environment variables. This removes both, without changing runtime behavior. 1. Generalize lazy-safetensors into a selectable LoadFormat. Opening safetensors shards and streaming only the rank-local slices, instead of materializing the full checkpoint in host RAM, becomes LoadFormat.LAZY_SAFETENSORS, reachable via load_format="lazy_safetensors" for any HF checkpoint. The sharded-vs-consolidated file selection is handled inside the format. K3 opts in by declaring it as its default in get_model_defaults; an explicit user load_format still wins. 2. Decouple the shared HfWeightLoader from K3. The Kimi/K3 model-name branch (_is_kimi_k3_checkpoint and its dispatch) is removed; the shared loader now dispatches on the resolved LoadFormat, not on any model name. No kimi/k3 string checks remain in weight_loader.py. 3. Move the K3 FP8 weight-read env vars onto the config surface. These 5 knobs decide whether a replicated K3 projection is read from an FP8 (e4m3, 128x128 block-scale) copy of its weights instead of BF16, and they are consumed on the checkpoint-loading path: load_weights keeps the FP8_PB_WO checkpoint pairs only when the read is enabled, and the post-load conversion swaps the modules. They therefore move to QuantConfig. Resolution lives in the new, CPU-unit-testable kimi_k3_knobs.py (config value wins, else the deprecated env var honored with a one-time warning, else the historical default). Deprecated env var -> config equivalent: KIMI_K3_FP8_WEIGHT_READ -> quant_config.kimi_k3_fp8_weight_read KIMI_K3_FP8_WEIGHT_READ_KDA -> quant_config.kimi_k3_fp8_weight_read_kda KIMI_K3_FP8_WEIGHT_READ_MLA -> quant_config.kimi_k3_fp8_weight_read_mla KIMI_K3_FP8_WEIGHT_READ_GATE_UP -> quant_config.kimi_k3_fp8_weight_read_gate_up KIMI_K3_KDA_GLUE_FP8 -> quant_config.kimi_k3_kda_glue_fp8 The env vars are still honored for back-compat, emitting a one-time deprecation warning; an explicit config value takes precedence when both are set. The four remaining K3 env vars (TLLM_K3_DISABLE_MIN_LATENCY_LATENT_PROJ, KIMI_K3_MLA_MAX_POSITIONS, KIMI_K3_FUSED_ATTN_RES, KIMI_K3_ROUTER_BF16) are left as they are. They configure the forward path -- the latent MoE GEMM selection, the identity-RoPE table size, the fused attn_res op, and the router GEMM dtype -- not loading or quantization, and none of them is required for K3 to load. Migrating them, and deciding which of them belong on the public API surface at all, is tracked separately. Test coverage: - tests/unittest/_torch/models/checkpoints/hf/test_weight_loader.py exercises the LAZY_SAFETENSORS format on a synthetic multi-shard fixture (sharded and consolidated selection, lazy slice materialization, dtype/shape/values, FP8 weights and scale tensors), no large checkpoint required. - tests/unittest/_torch/modeling/test_kimi_k3_fp8_weight_read_gates.py covers the 5 gates: config defaults, sub-gate narrowing, the is_sm_100f() arch gate, deprecated-env back-compat, config-over-env precedence, warn-once, and a zero-env/zero-config completeness check. - API-stability reference updated for the new QuantConfig fields.

Description
Follow-up to the Kimi K3 / KimiLinear support in #17269. That PR shipped a
load path that was validated end-to-end on a real 1.5 TB K3 checkpoint, but it
reached the lazy-loading behavior through model-name conditionals in shared
code and configured K3 loading/quantization through a block of environment
variables. This PR removes both, without changing runtime behavior.
Three changes:
open safetensors shards and stream only the rank-local slices instead of
materializing the full checkpoint in host RAM — becomes
LoadFormat.LAZY_SAFETENSORS, reachable via load_format="lazy_safetensors" for
any HF checkpoint. The sharded-vs-consolidated file selection
(use_consolidated) is handled inside the format. K3 opts in by declaring it as
its default in get_model_defaults; an explicit user load_format still wins.
(_is_kimi_k3_checkpoint and its dispatch) is removed; the shared loader now
dispatches on the resolved LoadFormat, not on any model name. No kimi/k3
string checks remain in weight_loader.py.
KIMI_K3_* knobs are migrated to config: the 4 model/loading knobs to
KimiK3Config (via extra_llm_api_options) and the 5 FP8 weight-read knobs to
QuantConfig. Resolution lives in the new, CPU-unit-testable kimi_k3_knobs.py
(config value wins → deprecated env var, honored with a one-time warning →
historical default). K3 loads with zero required environment variables.
Deprecated env var → config equivalent:

The env vars are still honored for back-compat, emitting a one-time

Test Coverage
LAZY_SAFETENSORS format is exercised on a synthetic multi-shard fixture
(sharded and consolidated selection), no large checkpoint required.
test_kimi_k3_fp8_weight_read_gates.py — config-surface existence,
default/env/precedence resolution, warn-once deprecation, the is_sm_100f()
arch gate, and a zero-env / zero-config completeness check for all 9 knobs.
QuantConfig fields.
at DEP16 (16 GPUs, TP=EP=16, attention-DP), cuda_graph off and on, against a
pre-refactor baseline captured on the same checkpoint. The refactored load
path is behavior-preserving — bit-exact on the deterministic subset, and
within the model's own run-to-run non-determinism otherwise (the CUDA-graph
capture/replay hard path was confirmed exercised).
