Summary

  • add IQ format metadata and packed-weight export
  • support Hugging Face and TP=1 Megatron export paths
  • reject fused-MoE IQ export until a deployment loader owns its packed layout
  • document the shaped uint8 weight contract and the fused-expert boundary
  • add Hugging Face, Megatron, metadata, and fused-expert export tests

PR split

This work is split into four focused PRs. Each PR targets main and owns a disjoint file set:

  1. Kernel#2448: Add CUDA kernels for IQ packing
  2. Quantization#2446: Add IQ quantization codecs and backend
  3. Export#2447: Export IQ checkpoints from HF and Megatron
  4. Recipes#2449: Add IQ post-training quantization recipes

The required merge order is #2448, #2446, #2447, then #2449.

Scope

This PR owns only export code, deployment documentation, and export tests. It targets main and should merge after #2448 and #2446. It does not contain kernel, codec/backend, or recipe files.

Deployment consumer boundary

Dense weights and individually named expert weights use the documented shaped uint8 contract. Megatron fused-MoE IQ export is intentionally rejected with NotImplementedError: its payload would have shape [num_experts, out_features, in_features // 256, payload_bytes], and no deployment loader in this stack currently owns that layout. Support should be enabled only with a loader integration test.

Test coverage

Validation

  • all pre-commit hooks pass for the changed files
  • 89 focused Hugging Face export, metadata, and fused-expert tests pass locally
  • direct checks cover both fused-MoE export entry points for IQ1_S and IQ2_XS
  • Megatron GPU execution remains delegated to GPU CI
  • restricted-term scan passes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for IQ1_S and IQ2_XS GGML quantization formats in unified Hugging Face and Megatron exports.
    • Added quantization metadata, tensor-shape recovery, packing details, and IQ2_XS size documentation.
    • Added validation for required block sizes and tensor parallelism settings.
  • Limitations

    • Fused-MoE and GPT-OSS IQ expert packing are not supported.
    • IQ exports require standard weight attributes in Hugging Face models.

[CRITICAL Algorithm] IQ blocks are packed along the output axis here, not the input axis.

What's wrong: three lines above (line 1887) merged_weight is transposed from Megatron's [E, out, in] to HF's [E, in, out]. _get_iq_weight_statequantize_iq{1_s,2_xs} always forms its 256-element GGML blocks along weight.shape[-1] (see quantize_iq2_xs: blocks = weight.contiguous().reshape(-1, 256), packed_shape = (*weight.shape[:-1], weight.shape[-1] // 256, bytes)). After the transpose that last axis is out_features, so each super-block groups 256 output channels instead of 256 contiguous input elements.

Same defect at line 2023 in _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss, where the transpose at line 1963 is unconditional (and for linear_fc1 the gate/up interleave then permutes the last axis again before packing).

Why it matters:

  1. It silently disagrees with calibration. iq2_xs_fake_quant / iq1_s_fake_quant call quantize_iq*(inputs) on the module's own [out, in] weight, so PTQ evaluated blocks along in. The exported checkpoint therefore does not reproduce the model that was measured — accuracy loss with no error raised whenever out_features % 256 == 0.
  2. When out_features % 256 != 0 (e.g. an ffn_hidden_size of 1408 or 5120·k that isn't a multiple of 256) validate_weight raises a confusing "requires the last weight dimension to be divisible by 256" error naming a shape the user never configured.
  3. The dense paths (_populate_state_dict, the qkv/gate-up splits) pack the untransposed [out, in] weight, so fused-MoE experts end up with a different block axis than every other layer in the same checkpoint.

Note the HF exporter already establishes the right convention for exactly this case: _export_quantized_weight wraps BMM-expert packing in maybe_transpose_expert_weight_dimensions(...) → quantize → transpose back, specifically to keep blocks on the contraction axis.

Suggested fix: pack before the layout transpose, i.e. in both methods pack the stacked [E, out, in] tensor and only then move the payload into HF order (the packed tensor is [E, out, in//256, bytes], so the logical transpose has to be applied to merged_weight first and the packing deferred, or the pack has to be done on the pre-transpose tensor and the consumer told the blocks live on in). Concretely, for _pack_name_remapping:

merged_weight = torch.stack(weight_list, dim=0)  # [E, out, in]

if qformat in (QUANTIZATION_IQ1_S, QUANTIZATION_IQ2_XS):
    # GGML blocks must run along the contraction (in_features) axis, which is
    # merged_weight's last dim *before* the HF [E, in, out] transpose. Pack here
    # and skip the transpose; a packed payload cannot be transposed afterwards.
    self._state_dict.update(self._get_iq_weight_state(prefix, merged_weight, qformat))
    return

# Megatron is [num_experts, out, in]; most HF layouts want [num_experts, in, out].
if transpose:
    merged_weight = merged_weight.transpose(-2, -1).contiguous()
...

and mirror it in _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss (bias/input_scale handling still needs to run, so hoist the pack rather than early-returning there). Whichever convention you land on, please state the block axis for fused MoE experts explicitly in docs/source/deployment/3_unified_hf.rst — the current "IQ weight representation" section only describes the dense [out, in] case.

Fixed in f2d3a83. Fused experts are now packed per expert while each logical weight is still [out, in], so 256-value blocks remain on the contraction axis. Packed CPU payloads are stacked without a post-pack transpose. Exact packed-byte coverage was added for the standard and GPT-OSS expert paths.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] This is the only export format that turns weight from a Parameter into a buffer.

What's wrong: every other branch of this function ends at line 846 with setattr(sub_module, weight_name, nn.Parameter(quantized_weight, requires_grad=False)), and that already covers non-float packed payloads — pack_int4_in_uint8 returns uint8 and INT4_AWQ stores it as a Parameter (integer dtypes are legal for nn.Parameter as long as requires_grad=False). The IQ path instead does delattr + register_buffer, silently changing the module contract for this one format.

Why it matters: it breaks any consumer that enumerates weights via named_parameters() / isinstance(m.weight, nn.Parameter) rather than state_dict(). The PR already had to add a compensating branch in moe_utils.py:221 for exactly this reason, and the same guard will be needed at every future call site. TiedWeightMap and sync_tied_input_amax (quant_utils.py:1852) both gate on isinstance(m.weight, torch.nn.Parameter); they happen to be built in _prepare_model_for_export before packing today, so nothing is broken right now, but the invariant is one reordering away from a silent tied-weight dedup miss.

Suggested fix: keep the weight a Parameter so the module contract is uniform across formats, and revert the moe_utils.py special case:

        packed_weight, _ = quantize_iq(weight.to(dtype))
        setattr(sub_module, weight_name, nn.Parameter(packed_weight, requires_grad=False))
        maybe_clear_cuda_cache()
        return

(This also drops the delattr/hardcoded-"weight" asymmetry — the weight_name != "weight" guard above then only needs to exist for the quantizer_attr_names bookkeeping, not for the assignment.)

Fixed in f2d3a83. IQ export now replaces weight with nn.Parameter(..., requires_grad=False), matching the other packed formats. The fused-expert buffer special case and its test were removed.

[IMPORTANT Performance] keep_weight_device=True moves the fused-MoE stack from CPU onto the GPU and can add several GB to the export rank's peak.

What's wrong: for IQ, _get_quantized_state now returns an on-GPU weight (which is correct for the dense paths — _get_iq_weight_state packs and immediately .detach().cpu()s, so the GPU copy is transient). But _pack_name_remapping / _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss accumulate weight_list across all experts and then do torch.stack(...) followed by .transpose(-2, -1).contiguous(). Previously every entry was a CPU copy and both temporaries lived in host memory; now the stack and the contiguous transposed copy are two full-size CUDA allocations on top of the expert weights that are already resident as model parameters (module.weight.to(dtype) is a no-op alias when the dtype already matches, so the list itself is free — the two temporaries are the cost).

Why it matters: for a large MoE decoder layer this is ~2× the fused expert tensor in extra device memory, per layer, on the last-PP-stage rank that is also holding the model. E.g. 128 experts × 1408 × 7168 in bf16 is ≈2.6 GB fused, so ≈5 GB of new transient device memory — enough to OOM an export that previously fit. Since save_pretrained already restricts IQ to TP=1, this rank has no TP sharding to shrink it.

Suggested fix: two options, either is fine:

  • Pack per expert before stacking (each [out, in] expert packs independently to [out, in//256, bytes], then torch.stack the small uint8 payloads on CPU) — this composes naturally with the block-axis fix on the _get_iq_weight_state call and removes the transposed float copy entirely.
  • Or scope keep_weight_device to the callers that actually benefit (the dense _populate_state_dict / split paths) and leave the packed-expert paths on CPU, since _pack_name_remapping is the one place where the on-device weight is held rather than consumed immediately.

Worth a note in the keep_weight_device docstring either way: as written it reads as a neutral device toggle, but it shifts a whole-layer allocation from host to device for MoE.

[SUGGESTION] weight_shape is added to the tied-weight suffix list but IQ export never emits it, so this entry is dead for the format that motivated it.

_get_iq_weight_state and the HF _export_quantized_weight IQ branch both discard the second return of quantize_iq* (packed_weight, _ = ...), and the docs section added in this PR states that no shape tensor is stored. The only producer of a weight_shape key is the compressed_tensors CompressedLinear path in quantization/plugins/huggingface.py:1282. That makes the addition a harmless consistency fix for that path, but it reads as if IQ exports a shape companion.

Related, and the reason it's worth a look: dequantize_iq1_s / dequantize_iq2_xs take weight_shape as a required argument, so ModelOpt's own decoder cannot read back a checkpoint that ModelOpt just wrote without the caller re-deriving the shape by hand. Consider adding a small helper next to the packers, e.g.

def iq_logical_shape(packed_weights: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
    """Recover the logical weight shape from a packed IQ payload."""
    return torch.tensor(
        (*packed_weights.shape[:-2], packed_weights.shape[-2] * GGML_BLOCK_SIZE),
        dtype=torch.int64,
    )

so the documented recovery rule lives in one place that both the docs and dequantize_iq* callers can point at, instead of being restated prose-only in 3_unified_hf.rst. (If you'd rather just drop the "weight_shape" line here, that's fine too — but then the comment above about extending weight_suffixes should say which path produces it.)

The dead weight_shape suffix was removed in f2d3a83. The proposed logical-shape helper changes the codec API and belongs in #2446, so it is intentionally kept out of this export PR.

[SUGGESTION] The IQ weights group carries three keys that aren't part of the schema this function is documented to emit, and it describes IQ as group-wise int quantization.

Per the docstring above, config_groups.group_0.* mirrors compressed-tensors' QuantizationArgs; every other branch here sticks to dynamic / num_bits / type / group_size / strategy. This branch adds effective_bits, packing, and block_payload_bytes.

Two things worth reconsidering:

  1. "type": "int", "num_bits": 1, "group_size": 256 claims a group-wise affine int scheme, but the checkpoint has no weight_scale / weight_zero_point companion (all block metadata is inside the uint8 payload). A loader that dispatches on config_groups — rather than on the ModelOpt-specific quant_algo: "IQ1_S" — will accept this group and then try to decompress weight as group-quantized int, which cannot work. Since convert_hf_quant_config_format writes this into config.json as quantization_config, that's the config transformers actually sees.
  2. num_bits and effective_bits disagree by design (1 vs 1.5625). Anything that sizes buffers from num_bits × numel will under-allocate.

Nothing here is load-breaking today given quant_algo is present and distinct, so this is non-blocking — but a short comment in this branch stating that IQ groups are not compressed-tensors-decodable and that packing: "ggml" is the discriminator a consumer must check would save the next reader a trip through quantize_iq2_xs. Nesting the ModelOpt-only fields (e.g. under a single "ggml": {...} sub-dict) would make that structural rather than a comment.

Fixed in f2d3a83. IQ metadata no longer presents the payload as a compressed-tensors integer weights group. Uniform exports carry ModelOpt-owned top-level format metadata, while mixed exports use an IQ group without a weights schema. Tests cover both forms.

Claude review — IQ checkpoint export

Reviewed all 7 changed files (175 additions): the 6 modelopt/torch/export/ modules in full, plus the docs/source/deployment/3_unified_hf.rst contract section. Traced the new IQ format constants and _get_iq_weight_state through every _get_quantized_state caller in unified_export_megatron.py, and read the quantize_iq* / validate_weight implementations from the stacked quantization PR to check the packing contract. No prior Claude review on this PR.

Findings: CRITICAL: 1, IMPORTANT: 2, SUGGESTION: 2

Most impactful

1. Fused-MoE experts pack IQ blocks along the wrong axis (CRITICAL). _pack_name_remapping and _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss transpose merged_weight from Megatron [E, out, in] to HF [E, in, out] and then call _get_iq_weight_state. quantize_iq* always blocks along shape[-1], so each 256-element GGML super-block groups output channels instead of contiguous input elements. Calibration (iq2_xs_fake_quant) packs the module's own [out, in] weight along in, so the exported checkpoint does not reproduce the model that was measured — silent accuracy loss whenever out_features % 256 == 0, and a misleading divisibility error when it isn't. The dense paths in this same file pack the untransposed weight, so fused experts also disagree with every other layer in the same checkpoint. The HF exporter already sets the correct precedent with maybe_transpose_expert_weight_dimensions (transpose, quantize, transpose back) for exactly this case.

2. IQ is the only format that demotes weight from Parameter to buffer (IMPORTANT). Every other branch of _export_quantized_weight ends with nn.Parameter(quantized_weight, requires_grad=False), and that already handles uint8 payloads (INT4_AWQ does it). The delattr + register_buffer here is what forced the compensating isinstance(wrapper.weight, nn.Parameter) branch in moe_utils.py; keeping it a Parameter makes that patch unnecessary and keeps named_parameters()-based consumers (TiedWeightMap, sync_tied_input_amax) working by construction rather than by ordering luck.

3. keep_weight_device=True shifts a whole-layer MoE allocation from host to device (IMPORTANT). Transient for the dense paths, but _pack_name_remapping holds weight_list across all experts and then allocates a GPU torch.stack plus a transposed .contiguous() copy — roughly 2x the fused expert tensor in new device memory per layer, on a rank that already holds the model and (per the new TP=1 restriction) has no sharding to shrink it.

The two SUGGESTIONs cover the unused weight_shape suffix vs. dequantize_iq*'s required weight_shape argument, and the non-standard keys in the compressed-tensors-shaped config_groups entry.

Verified as correct

  • quant_algo plumbing round-trips end to end: get_quantization_format produces "iq1_s", process_layer_quant_config uppercases to "IQ1_S", and the new convert_hf_quant_config_format branch matches. The Megatron writer reaches the same code via process_layer_quant_config(combined_layer_config_dict), so group_size / packing / block_payload_bytes land there too.
  • All seven _get_quantized_state call sites have a matching IQ branch — no path leaves an unpacked (or CUDA-resident) IQ weight in _state_dict.
  • The early return in _get_quantized_state correctly skips amax/scale collection, and FUSION_FREE_FORMATS membership is right for a weight-only format with no cross-module scales.
  • Excluded modules are safe: qformat is None makes is_iq false, so keep_bf16 / excluded weights never hit the packer. The keep_bf16 handling in the GatedDeltaNet in_proj path is the only site that needs it and it has it.
  • The documented shape-recovery rule [*shape[:-2], shape[-2] * 256] is self-consistent for 1-D, 2-D and 3-D logical weights.

Minor note (not counted)

The TP guard in save_pretrained derives quantization_format from self._get_quantization_format(self.model), which is per-rank. If a PP stage ever returns None while another returns an IQ format, the non-IQ ranks skip the raise and proceed to torch.distributed.barrier() while the others have already thrown — an NCCL timeout instead of the clean NotImplementedError. Every PP stage of a transformer has linear layers in practice, so this is theoretical; gating on get_tensor_model_parallel_world_size() != 1 first, or all-reducing the format, would remove the possibility.

Risk

Moderate-to-high for MoE, low for dense. Finding 1 makes fused-expert IQ checkpoints numerically wrong without any error, and MoE is the main use case for aggressive 1-2 bit formats. The dense TP=1 path looks sound. Everything is additive and gated behind the two new format constants, so no existing format or checkpoint is affected.

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

Commenting: the Megatron packed-expert paths pack IQ blocks after the [E, out, in] -> [E, in, out] transpose, so blocks form along the wrong axis, and five of the six new Megatron branches have no test.

Needs action:

  • Confirm the block axis in _pack_name_remapping / _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss (unified_export_megatron.py:1914): packing after the transpose groups 256 weights along the output dim, unlike fake-quant and the HF path. Pack before the transpose or explain why not.
  • Add tests for the untested IQ branches: _gated_mlp_slicing, _grouped_mlp_slicing, _qkv_slicing, _gated_delta_net_slicing, _pack_name_remapping — only _name_remapping is covered.
  • Replace the hardcoded 50/74/1.5625/2.3125/256 in quant_utils.py:733 and convert_hf_config.py:121 with IQ*_BLOCK_BYTES / IQ*_EFFECTIVE_BITS / GGML_BLOCK_SIZE from modelopt.torch.quantization.ggml.
  • Drop the "weight_shape" entry added to weight_suffixes in quant_utils.py:1170_BASE_SKIP_KEYS already removes any weight_shape key, and IQ export never emits one.

No action needed:

  • Merge order: this stack sits on #2446, whose llama.cpp/ggml MIT provenance is still awaiting OSRB sign-off.

# Save the merged weights

if qformat in (QUANTIZATION_IQ1_S, QUANTIZATION_IQ2_XS):

Bot comment.

merged_weight has already been transposed to [E, in, out] above, so quantize_iq* blocks the last dim — the output features — into 256-element GGML blocks. Everywhere else (HF _export_quantized_weight, _name_remapping, _gated_mlp_slicing) the blocks run along the input dim, which is also what the weight_quantizer used during calibration/fake-quant. That means the exported experts are quantized on a different axis than the model was calibrated for, and out % 256 != 0 would raise from validate_weight even when in is a valid multiple. Please pack before the transpose (and re-pack/reshape into the HF layout), or document why the output-dim grouping is correct here. Same applies to _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss, where the gate/up interleave also happens on that last dim before packing.

Fixed in f2d3a83 by packing each expert before any layout transpose. For GPT-OSS, gate/up interleaving happens on the logical output rows before packing, then the CPU payloads are stacked. Exact-byte tests cover both expert paths.

_BASE_SKIP_KEYS already contains "weight_shape", so any key containing it is dropped before the tied-weight dedup runs and can never appear in post_state_dict — the members filter if ak in post_state_dict makes this entry dead. IQ export also discards the logical-shape tensor (packed_weight, _ = quantize_iq(...)), which the new test asserts. Suggest removing this line.

Removed in f2d3a83. IQ export does not emit a separate weight_shape tensor, so the tied-weight suffix entry was dead.

50 / 74 / 256 are re-derived here, again in convert_hf_config._quant_algo_to_group_config, and again in the docs. modelopt.torch.quantization.ggml already exports IQ1_S_BLOCK_BYTES, IQ2_XS_BLOCK_BYTES, IQ1_S_EFFECTIVE_BITS, IQ2_XS_EFFECTIVE_BITS and GGML_BLOCK_SIZE — importing them keeps the metadata in sync with the codec if a payload layout ever changes. Also note group_size is hardcoded to 256 here while the sibling branches use block_size_value from the recorded awq_block_size; asserting they agree would catch a misconfigured quantizer.

Fixed in f2d3a83. Export metadata now imports the per-format block-byte, block-size, and effective-bit constants from the codec package. It also verifies that the recorded block size matches the format constant, with a mismatch regression test.

Claude review — IQ checkpoint export (re-review at f2d3a83)

Scope. The PR's diff against main spans 27 files because it is stacked on #2446; the export change itself is 7 files / ~195 additions. I reviewed all six modelopt/torch/export/ modules and the docs/source/deployment/3_unified_hf.rst contract section in full, re-read the modelopt/torch/quantization/ggml/ codecs (common.py, iq2_xs.py, backend.py, __init__.py) and the extensions.py / __init__.py wiring to verify the packing and dispatch contracts, and read the new export tests. I did not open the four .cu / .cpp kernel files or the IQ1_S codec body — those are #2448 / #2446's review surface.

Findings this round: CRITICAL: 0, IMPORTANT: 0, SUGGESTION: 3

Prior findings — all resolved

  • Fused-MoE block axis (was CRITICAL). Fixed correctly. _pack_name_remapping / _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss now pack each expert's [out, in] weight before stacking and skip the [E, out, in] -> [E, in, out] transpose for IQ, so every 256-value GGML block is contiguous along the contraction axis on every path — matching iq2_xs_fake_quant, the dense Megatron paths, and the HF path. The GPT-OSS linear_fc1 interleave moved to per-expert row interleaving before packing, which is the same permutation the old post-transpose [..., ::2] applied along out, and the bias interleave correctly stayed unconditional (no double-interleave). test_megatron_packed_experts_keep_iq_blocks_on_input_axis and ..._interleave_before_iq_packing pin both byte-exactly against a direct quantize_iq* call.
  • weight demoted to a buffer (was IMPORTANT). Now nn.Parameter(packed_weight, requires_grad=False), consistent with every other branch of _export_quantized_weight, and the test asserts isinstance(linear.weight, nn.Parameter).
  • keep_weight_device=True GPU allocation (was IMPORTANT). Resolved as a side effect of the axis fix: _pack_iq_weight returns .detach().cpu(), so torch.stack over weight_list builds the fused tensor from CPU payloads (~1/40 the fp16 size for IQ2_XS) instead of stacking full GPU expert weights. The EP all_gather_object path also sees CPU tensors, so the torch.save round-trip still works.
  • Hardcoded 50/74/1.5625/2.3125/256 (bot item 3). Now imported from IQ*_BLOCK_BYTES / IQ*_BLOCK_SIZE / IQ*_EFFECTIVE_BITS, plus a new block-size mismatch guard in both config writers.
  • weight_shape in weight_suffixes (bot item 4). Removed; export emits no such key and the test asserts it.

Verified again on this commit

  • All seven _get_quantized_state call sites have an IQ branch, so no path can leave an unpacked or CUDA-resident IQ weight in _state_dict. Excluded / QUANTIZATION_NONE / keep_bf16 modules take the qformat is None route and still get .cpu().
  • Every split is along an output dim (_gated_mlp_slicing, _qkv_slicing, _gated_delta_net_slicing, _grouped_mlp_slicing gate/up shards), so the last dim stays the contraction axis and block membership is unchanged by slicing; quantize_iq* calls .contiguous(), so the strided _qkv_slicing _take results are safe.
  • Config round-trip: get_quantization_format"iq1_s"process_layer_quant_config"IQ1_S" + group_size/effective_bits/block_payload_bytes/packingconvert_hf_quant_config_format IQ branch, on both the HF (get_quant_config) and Megatron (process_layer_quant_config(combined_layer_config_dict)) writers. The contract is block_sizes={-1: 256} on the quantizer; anything else raises rather than silently misparsing.
  • No stale-scale leakage: a calibrated weight_quantizer._amax matches _BASE_SKIP_KEYS and no _KV_CACHE_REPLACEMENTS suffix, so it is dropped without ever touching maxbound (which is undefined for a string num_bits). FUSION_FREE_FORMATS membership keeps preprocess_linear_fusion off the IQ path, and the ggml backend ignores pre_quant_scale, so calibration and export see the same weight.
  • weight_name != "weight" guard means 3-D bmm expert params (gate_up_proj, down_proj) raise NotImplementedError instead of being packed along the output axis — the one remaining way to get the wrong axis in the HF path is closed. The moe_utils wrapper slices to [out, in] before calling, so fused experts there are correct.
  • Documented shape recovery [*shape[:-2], shape[-2] * 256] is self-consistent for 1-D, 2-D, dense 3-D and fused-expert 4-D payloads.

Suggestions (non-blocking)

  1. IQ_FORMATS frozenset + one metadata table — the format pair is spelled out 16 times and the metadata if/else is duplicated between quant_utils.py:740 and convert_hf_config.py:130.
  2. _pack_iq_weight should qualify validate_weight's divisibility error with the layer key; today it names only a shape.
  3. _get_quantized_state's own IQ branch (on-device retention + early return) has no coverage — the Megatron tests stub that method out, following this file's existing convention.

Risk

Low. Everything is additive and gated behind the two new format constants plus an explicit TP=1 NotImplementedError, so no existing format, checkpoint, or config schema changes behavior. The fused-expert [E, out, in // 256, payload] layout is a deliberate, documented deviation from HF's [E, in, out] (packed blocks cannot be transposed), and no runtime consumes IQ checkpoints yet.

Note on merge order rather than code: this stack sits on #2446, whose llama.cpp/ggml MIT provenance is pending OSRB sign-off.

Approving — no blocking issues found.

Addressed the fused-MoE deployment-consumer concern in 1b89d3e.

Rather than emitting an unverified [num_experts, out_features, in_features // 256, payload_bytes] tensor, both Megatron fused-expert export entry points now raise NotImplementedError for IQ1_S and IQ2_XS before writing any checkpoint state. Dense weights and individually named expert weights remain supported. The deployment documentation now states this boundary, and the Megatron export tests cover both rejection paths.

Fused-MoE IQ export can be enabled later when a deployment loader owns this layout and an integration test exercises it. The PR body also records the stack order: #2448, then #2446, then #2447.

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

Nudge: the fused-MoE layout question is settled by an explicit rejection with tests, but licensing sign-off and one guard gap still need a human.

Needs action:

  • Get OSRB/legal sign-off on the vendored ggml MIT codebook (quantization/ggml/iq1_s.py, iq2_xs.py) and the new LICENSE entry, carried in from #2446.
  • Harden the TP>1 IQ check in unified_export_megatron.py:319: _get_quantization_format(self.model) returns only the first non-NONE format, so a mixed-format model whose IQ layers come later bypasses the guard and packs TP-sharded weights. Scan per-layer formats, or state why mixed IQ cannot occur.
  • Confirm merge order against #2446 / #2448, and that #2446's body carries the ggml/ vs qtensor/ design rationale this PR depends on.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: fused-MoE IQ export now raises NotImplementedError in both _pack_name_remapping and _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss before any state is written, with tests on both entry points and the boundary documented in 3_unified_hf.rst.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] This early return also skips the input_scale collection and the pre_quant_scale guard below it, so an IQ weight quantizer combined with an enabled input quantizer exports silently as weight-only.

What happens. get_quantization_format returns "iq1_s"/"iq2_xs" purely from weight_quantizer.num_bits; it never looks at input_quantizer. So a config like

{"*weight_quantizer": {"num_bits": "iq2_xs", "block_sizes": {-1: 256}, "backend": "ggml"},
 "*input_quantizer": {"num_bits": (4, 3), "axis": None}}

calibrates fine (the ggml backend fake-quantizes the weight, the input quantizer collects its own amax), and then this branch returns before lines 1132-1138 ever run. The result:

  • name_to_value["input_scale"] is never populated, so no <module>.input_scale reaches _state_dict on any of the six IQ call sites.
  • raise ValueError("Detect pre_quant_scale! SmoothQuant/AWQ are not yet supported!") at line 1138 is bypassed — an AWQ-smoothed IQ model exports pre-scaled weights with no pre_quant_scale for the runtime to undo.
  • QUANTIZATION_IQ1_S/IQ2_XS in FUSION_FREE_FORMATS additionally means preprocess_linear_fusion never unifies input_amax across the q/k/v and gate/up groups, which is only sound for a format with no activation scales at all.

The written config says quant_algo: IQ2_XS with no activation entry, so nothing downstream can detect the loss — the checkpoint just silently isn't the model that was calibrated. _export_quantized_weight in unified_export_hf.py:627-639 has the same shape: its IQ branch returns before the input_scale registration at line 732.

Suggested fix. Make the weight-only assumption explicit rather than implicit, e.g. in get_quantization_format's IQ branch (quant_utils.py:487), next to the existing backend check, so both export paths inherit it:

if weight_quantizer.num_bits in (QUANTIZATION_IQ1_S, QUANTIZATION_IQ2_XS):
    if weight_quantizer.backend != "ggml":
        raise ValueError("IQ formats require the built-in 'ggml' quantization backend")
    if input_quantizer is not None and input_quantizer.is_enabled:
        raise ValueError(
            f"{weight_quantizer.num_bits} is weight-only; export does not emit activation "
            "scales. Disable the input quantizer."
        )
    if getattr(input_quantizer, "_pre_quant_scale", None) is not None:
        raise ValueError("pre_quant_scale (SmoothQuant/AWQ) is not supported with IQ formats")
    return weight_quantizer.num_bits

A raise is cheap here and keeps the two is_iq early returns honestly weight-only.

[SUGGESTION] The fused-MoE rejection fires from inside the per-expert loop in _pack_name_remapping / _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss, i.e. only once self.layer_state_dicts has already walked into the first MoE layer. Two consequences worth considering:

  1. Rank divergence. The raise depends on the rank owning at least one local fused expert. With expert parallelism where num_experts < ep_size, a rank with an empty local expert list never enters the loop, never raises, and proceeds to the all_gather_object / torch.distributed.barrier() while its peers have thrown — an NCCL timeout instead of the clean NotImplementedError. This is the same class as the TP guard, which you already hoisted to the top of save_pretrained for exactly this reason.
  2. Late failure. Everything up to the first MoE layer is packed (a full CUDA→CPU IQ pack per dense layer) before the user learns the config is unsupported.

Both go away if the check is collective and up front, next to the TP=1 guard — e.g. detect "IQ format and a rule resolving to pack_name_remapping*" once in save_pretrained before self.layer_state_dicts is touched. If you'd rather keep it where it is, the per-expert _reject_... call is at least idempotent, so this is non-blocking.

Also minor: _get_iq_weight_state only ever wraps _pack_iq_weight in a one-key dict, and all six call sites immediately self._state_dict.update(...) it. self._state_dict[key] = self._pack_iq_weight(weight, qformat) reads more directly and drops one indirection.

Claude review — IQ checkpoint export (re-review at 1b89d3e)

Scope. Full-diff review, prioritized to modelopt/. The PR's diff against main spans 28 files because it is stacked on #2446/#2448; the export change itself is the 5 modelopt/torch/export/ modules plus the docs/source/deployment/3_unified_hf.rst contract section, which I read in full. I re-read modelopt/torch/quantization/ggml/ (common.py, iq1_s.py, iq2_xs.py, backend.py, __init__.py) and the extensions.py wiring to re-verify the packing contract, plus moe_utils.py::_export_fused_experts and the new unit/GPU-Megatron tests. I did not open the four .cu/.cpp kernel files or the CUDA-only tests — that is #2448's review surface.

Findings this round: CRITICAL: 0, IMPORTANT: 1, SUGGESTION: 1

Prior rounds — resolved

The CRITICAL fused-MoE block-axis finding is now moot by construction: _pack_name_remapping and _pack_name_remapping_gpt_oss both call the new _reject_unsupported_fused_iq_export right after _get_quantized_state, so no fused payload is produced at all, and both entry points are pinned by tests that also assert _state_dict == {}. The GPT-OSS interleave and merged_weight transpose are back to their main form, so the revert introduced no regression for the non-IQ formats that share those functions. The TP=1 guard also moved ahead of self.layer_state_dicts, which closes the "some ranks raise, others reach the barrier" note from the first round for the TP case — _get_quantization_format is a pure read, so hoisting it is safe.

The one IMPORTANT

IQ's is_iq early return in _get_quantized_state (unified_export_megatron.py:1121) silently drops activation scales. It returns before both the input_scale collection and the existing raise ValueError("Detect pre_quant_scale! ...") guard. get_quantization_format decides iq1_s/iq2_xs from weight_quantizer.num_bits alone and never inspects input_quantizer, so a W-IQ + A-FP8 config calibrates cleanly and then exports as weight-only with quant_algo: IQ2_XS and no activation entry — nothing downstream can detect the loss. FUSION_FREE_FORMATS membership compounds it (no input_amax unification across q/k/v), and _export_quantized_weight in unified_export_hf.py:627-639 skips its own input_scale registration the same way. Not reachable from a weight-only recipe, but it is a silent-wrong-checkpoint path with an explicit guard sitting 16 lines below the return. Suggested fix inline: raise in get_quantization_format's IQ branch, next to the existing backend != "ggml" check, so both export paths inherit it.

Verified on this commit

  • Both fused-expert entry points are covered; no third path stacks expert weights (torch.stack(weight_list, ...) appears only in those two functions).
  • All seven _get_quantized_state call sites still have an IQ branch, so no path leaves an unpacked or CUDA-resident IQ weight in _state_dict. _gated_delta_net_slicing correctly .cpu()s its keep_bf16 (in_proj_a/in_proj_b) shards, and keep_bf16 membership is tested against prefixes in both the IQ and non-IQ branches.
  • Every remaining IQ split is along an output dim (_gated_mlp_slicing, _qkv_slicing, _gated_delta_net_slicing, _grouped_mlp_slicing gate/up halves), so the last dim stays the contraction axis; quantize_iq* calls .contiguous(), so strided _take results are safe. _pack_iq_weight returns .detach().cpu(), so the EP torch.save/all_gather_object round-trip in _grouped_mlp_slicing still sees CPU tensors.
  • HF fused experts are not affected by the Megatron rejection: moe_utils._export_fused_experts splits the 3-D params into individually named 2-D [out, in] projections before calling _export_quantized_weight, so the checkpoint never contains a 4-D packed tensor — consistent with the new 3_unified_hf.rst warning.
  • Config round-trip re-checked end to end on both writers: "iq2_xs"process_layer_quant_configIQ2_XS + group_size/effective_bits/block_payload_bytes/packing, with the block-size mismatch raising rather than silently misparsing (awq_block_size comes from get_weight_block_sizeblock_sizes[-1] = 256, recorded by _record_layer_quant_config). weight_quantizer.backend is a real TensorQuantizer attribute, so the new backend check does not AttributeError.
  • The CUDA packer accepts fp16/bf16 (iq1_s.cpp pybind docstring and TORCH_CHECKs), so passing weight.to(dtype) on-device is correct and keep_weight_device=True is doing real work.
  • Doc shape-recovery rule [*shape[:-2], shape[-2] * 256] is self-consistent for 1-D, 2-D and dense 3-D payloads. New test imports (uem, SimpleNamespace, patch) all resolve.

Risk

Low. Everything is additive and gated behind the two new format constants, a TP=1 NotImplementedError, and now a fused-MoE NotImplementedError; no existing format, checkpoint, or config schema changes behavior, and no runtime consumes IQ checkpoints yet. The IMPORTANT above is a defensive gap on a mixed W-IQ/A-quantized config rather than a defect on the paths this PR's recipes will exercise.

Not code, carried forward: the ggml/llama.cpp MIT codebook provenance and LICENSE entry still need OSRB sign-off, and merge order is #2448#2446 → this.

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

Commenting: the TP>1 IQ guard I flagged last round is unchanged, and the new IQ branch in get_quantization_format still lets a quantized activation path export silently as weight-only.

Needs action:

  • Harden the TP>1 check at unified_export_megatron.py:319: _get_quantization_format(self.model) returns only the first non-NONE format, so a mixed-format model whose IQ layers come later bypasses it and packs TP-sharded weights. Scan per-layer formats, or state why mixed IQ cannot occur.
  • Reject an enabled input_quantizer / _pre_quant_scale in the IQ branch of _get_quantization_from_layer (quant_utils.py:487); both export paths return before input_scale collection and the existing pre_quant_scale guard. See inline.
  • Forward the caller's group_size into _quant_algo_to_group_config at convert_hf_config.py:242 so an invalid value raises instead of being rewritten to 256.
  • Reword the IQ1_S/IQ2_XS bullets in 3_unified_hf.rst:53 — "importance-aware" implies imatrix support these encoders do not have.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: fused-MoE rejection with tests on both entry points, and the merge order now recorded in the PR body.
  • The ggml codebook / LICENSE OSRB call sits in #2446, outside this file set.

Bot comment.

Still open from the previous round. _get_quantization_format walks the module tree and returns the first non-QUANTIZATION_NONE format, so on a mixed-format model whose IQ layers come after e.g. an FP8 layer this condition is false and the export proceeds to pack TP-sharded weights — either a confusing divisibility error or a silently sharded IQ payload.

Either scan the effective per-layer formats here (the same walk get_quant_config does), or gate on get_tensor_model_parallel_world_size() != 1 first and then check whether any module resolves to an IQ format. If mixed IQ is structurally impossible with the shipped recipes, a one-line comment saying so would close this out.

This branch validates the backend but not the activation side, and both exporters return early for IQ before they collect input_scale: _get_quantized_state (unified_export_megatron.py:1121) returns above the input_scale block and above the existing raise ValueError("Detect pre_quant_scale! ..."), and _export_quantized_weight (unified_export_hf.py:627) returns before its own input_scale registration.

So a W-IQ + A-FP8 (or AWQ-smoothed) config calibrates cleanly and then exports as weight-only with quant_algo: IQ2_XS and no activation entry — nothing downstream can detect the loss. Since IQ is weight-only by construction, make that explicit right here, next to the backend check:

if input_quantizer is not None and input_quantizer.is_enabled:
    raise ValueError(f"{weight_quantizer.num_bits} is weight-only; disable the input quantizer")
if getattr(input_quantizer, "_pre_quant_scale", None) is not None:
    raise ValueError("pre_quant_scale (SmoothQuant/AWQ) is not supported with IQ formats")

Both export paths then inherit the guard, and the two is_iq early returns become honestly weight-only.

Bot comment.

_quant_algo_to_group_config already validates group_size against the format's block size and raises on a mismatch, but this call site drops the caller's value, so an input config carrying IQ2_XS with group_size: 128 is silently rewritten to 256 instead of raising. Pass it through:

iq_metadata = _quant_algo_to_group_config(
    quant_algo_value, original_quantization_details.get("group_size")
)

The MIXED_PRECISION branch below already forwards layer_group_size, so this also keeps the two paths consistent. Worth a test alongside test_iq_quantization_config_rejects_mismatched_block_size, which covers the process_layer_quant_config side only.

[IMPORTANT ModeState] This rejection is derived from local module inspection, so it can fire on some ranks and not others — turning a clean error into a collective hang.

_get_quantization_format(self.model) returns the first non-None format found in the rank-local model. That is not guaranteed to be rank-uniform:

  • PP > 1 where one stage holds no quantized linear (layer-range recipes / "keep the first dense block in BF16") → that stage gets None/QUANTIZATION_NONE and skips the guard.
  • A genuinely mixed model (e.g. FP8 attention + IQ experts) where the first hit on one stage is fp8 and on another is iq1_s.

In those cases the IQ ranks raise NotImplementedError and exit save_pretrained, while the non-IQ ranks continue into self._gather_exclude_modules() (all_gather_object, line 393) and torch.distributed.barrier() (line 442) and block until the NCCL timeout. Worse, the rank that skipped the guard silently writes TP-sharded IQ payloads for its own IQ modules.

This file already documents the convention for exactly this hazard (lines 462-467: "this is public API, and a lone raise would leave peers hanging in the next collective instead of surfacing the error") and provides the helpers for it (_gather_exclude_modules, _gather_layer_config_dict, _gather_kv_cache_dtype).

Suggested fix — make the decision global before raising, e.g.:

local_is_iq = torch.tensor(
    [quantization_format in (QUANTIZATION_IQ1_S, QUANTIZATION_IQ2_XS)],
    dtype=torch.uint8,
    device=torch.cuda.current_device(),
)
if torch.distributed.is_initialized():
    torch.distributed.all_reduce(local_is_iq, op=torch.distributed.ReduceOp.MAX)
if local_is_iq.item() and get_tensor_model_parallel_world_size() != 1:
    raise NotImplementedError(
        "Megatron IQ1_S/IQ2_XS unified export currently requires tensor model parallel size 1"
    )

The same reasoning applies to _reject_unsupported_fused_iq_export: it raises from inside _get_state_dict() only on ranks that own a fused-expert module, so a PP stage with no MoE layer keeps going into the next collective. Either share that flag too, or hoist the fused-MoE check next to this TP check so both rejections happen once, uniformly, before any collective.

[SUGGESTION] Two things about this block, both about keeping one source of truth for the IQ block contract.

  1. Duplicated metadata table. This exact derivation (block size / payload bytes / effective bits, plus the packing: "ggml" marker) is repeated verbatim in quant_utils.process_layer_quant_config (lines 740-759), and the two copies already validate differently: here group_size in (None, block_size) is accepted, there block_size_value != block_size raises (so a missing awq_block_size0 is a hard error). Adding a third IQ format, or changing IQ2_XS_BLOCK_BYTES, means touching both. A single helper next to the format constants (e.g. iq_block_metadata(quant_algo) -> dict in quant_format.py) would remove the drift risk, per CONTRIBUTING's "don't repeat yourself; keep a single source of truth". The same applies to the membership test in (QUANTIZATION_IQ1_S, QUANTIZATION_IQ2_XS), which is now spelled out ~10 times across quant_utils.py, unified_export_hf.py, and unified_export_megatron.py — a module-level IQ_FORMATS = frozenset({...}) alongside FUSION_FREE_FORMATS would make a future IQ3 a one-line change.

  2. Two different config shapes for the same information. For a uniform IQ export these keys land at the root of quantization_config (line 242-244), which is what docs/source/deployment/3_unified_hf.rst documents. For MIXED_PRECISION the same dict goes through line 286-288 and ends up inside config_groups["group_N"] (with targets appended) — the shape asserted by test_mixed_iq_config_group_does_not_claim_integer_weight_schema. A loader written against the new docs will look for root-level packing / block_payload_bytes and find nothing for a mixed export. Given this PR deliberately rejects layouts that no deployment loader owns yet (fused-MoE), consider either documenting the mixed-precision placement in the same doc section, or rejecting IQ inside MIXED_PRECISION until a loader exists.

[SUGGESTION] _get_iq_weight_state is a one-key-dict wrapper around _pack_iq_weight, and every one of its six call sites immediately unwraps it with self._state_dict.update(...) / local_expert_state.update(...). The dict round-trip hides what is really a single assignment:

self._state_dict.update(self._get_iq_weight_state(prefix + "weight", weight, qformat))
# vs.
self._state_dict[prefix + "weight"] = self._pack_iq_weight(weight, qformat)

Dropping _get_iq_weight_state and calling _pack_iq_weight directly removes a level of indirection and makes the assignment target obvious at each site (CONTRIBUTING: "hide lower-level details behind well-named helpers" — but this layer adds a name, not information). Both docstrings also claim the same thing ("Pack one [out, in] weight"), which is a hint that only one helper is needed.

Claude review — IQ export (HF + Megatron)

Scope: full review (trigger comment had no extra scoping). 9 changed files (+567/−11); reviewed all 5 modelopt/torch/export/ files hunk-by-hunk plus surrounding context, the deployment doc, and the three test files. Also cross-read the dependency PRs' public surface (#2446 modelopt/torch/quantization/ggml) to verify the packing API contract, and traced every caller of the touched helpers (_get_quantized_state — all 7 call sites, _export_quantized_weight — including the streaming, layerwise, and fused-MoE handler paths, FUSION_FREE_FORMATS, process_layer_quant_config).

Findings

CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 1 · SUGGESTION: 3

# Severity Location Issue
1 IMPORTANT ModeState unified_export_megatron.py:319-327 (and _reject_unsupported_fused_iq_export) IQ rejections are derived from rank-local module inspection, so they can raise on some ranks only → peers hang in the next collective instead of getting a clean error
2 SUGGESTION convert_hf_config.py:130-149 IQ block-metadata table duplicated in quant_utils.process_layer_quant_config with divergent validation; IQ format membership spelled out ~10× across 3 files; mixed-precision IQ emits a config shape the new doc does not describe
3 SUGGESTION unified_export_megatron.py:1158-1170 _get_iq_weight_state is a one-key-dict wrapper that all 6 call sites immediately unwrap

Most impactful

Finding 1 is the only blocking one. Everything else in the export dataflow checks out:

  • Coverage of the packing path is complete. All seven _get_quantized_state consumers in the Megatron exporter now branch on IQ (dense _name_remapping, gated MLP, grouped MLP expert shards, QKV, gated-delta-net, and both fused-expert entry points, which reject). No path silently writes an unpacked BF16 weight under an IQ* quant_algo.
  • HF paths agree. In-memory, streaming/offload (hf_export_handlers_export_quantized_weight), layerwise (layerwise_export.export_layer → same handler) and fused-MoE (moe_utils splits the 3-D params into per-expert 2-D wrappers before packing) all produce the documented [*logical[:-1], logical[-1] // 256, payload_bytes] uint8 payload — i.e. the HF side never emits the 4-D fused layout that the Megatron side rejects, so the stated deployment boundary holds on both.
  • Shape contract is recoverable. Discarding the returned weight_shape metadata (packed_weight, _ = quantize_iq(...)) is safe because validate_weight forbids a non-multiple-of-256 last dim, so packed.shape[-2] * 256 reconstructs it exactly — matching the doc and the tests.
  • FUSION_FREE_FORMATS, keep_weight_device, and metadata plumbing are consistent. IQ is scale-free, so skipping resmooth/amax fusion is right; keeping the weight on-device until packing is what lets the CUDA packer run; awq_block_size is recorded unconditionally, so process_layer_quant_config's strict == 256 check will not spuriously fire for the recipes in #2449 (block_sizes: {-1: 256}).
  • The IQ2_XS block description added to 3_unified_hf.rst (2-byte FP16 d, 32 × uint16 with 9-bit grid index + 7 stored sign bits and parity-derived 8th, 8 bytes of 4-bit local scales, 512×8 codebook, 2.3125 bpw) matches the GGML block_iq2_xs layout.

Risk

Low-to-moderate. The change is additive and gated: every unsupported layout raises rather than silently mis-exporting, and the round-trip tests compare against weight_quantizer(weight) rather than just asserting shapes. The residual risk is the distributed one in finding 1, which only surfaces on multi-rank Megatron exports where the IQ format is not rank-uniform, and manifests as a hang rather than a wrong checkpoint.

One process note, not a code finding: modelopt/torch/quantization/ggml does not exist on this branch (it lands in #2446), so import modelopt.torch.export fails here and this PR's own tests cannot pass until the stated merge order (#2448#2446#2447) is respected. Worth re-running the 89 focused tests on a branch with #2446 applied before merge.

## Summary

- add native CUDA packing kernels for IQ1_S and IQ2_XS
- load both extensions through the quantization extension module
- validate caller metadata and launch bounds before contiguous
materialization
- normalize non-finite input elements consistently with the Python
reference path
- accept caller-computed IQ2_XS FP16 superblock scales to avoid a
duplicate reduction
- share common packing helpers and add direct extension compilation and
boundary tests

## PR split

This work is split into four focused PRs. Each PR targets `main` and
owns a disjoint file set:

1. **Kernel** — [#2448: Add CUDA kernels for IQ
packing](#2448)
2. **Quantization** — [#2446: Add IQ quantization codecs and
backend](#2446)
3. **Export** — [#2447: Export IQ checkpoints from HF and
Megatron](#2447)
4. **Recipes** — [#2449: Add IQ post-training quantization
recipes](#2449)

The required merge order is #2448, #2446, #2447, then #2449.

## Scope

This PR owns only native kernel sources, shared packing helpers,
extension loading and build registration, and direct extension tests. It
does not contain Python codecs, export code, or recipes.

## GPU test coverage

Direct kernel-boundary coverage is included in this PR:

- [extension compilation, zero payloads, input validation, and
row-alignment
checks](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/74e94db9601870e3569c7c8e73506a2f08c29da8/tests/gpu/_extensions/test_torch_extensions.py)

Pack/dequantize numerical, native/reference byte-parity, and
non-finite-policy tests are owned by the quantization PR:
[IQ1_S](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/e8d937081d8cd01cf8e44d43915df443b79deb17/tests/gpu/torch/quantization/test_iq1_s_cuda.py)
and
[IQ2_XS](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/e8d937081d8cd01cf8e44d43915df443b79deb17/tests/gpu/torch/quantization/test_iq2_xs_cuda.py).

## Dependency behavior

On `main`, this PR provides optional CUDA extension loaders and direct
extension tests. The Python encoders and fallback dispatch land in
#2446. Until #2446 lands, no quantization path calls these getters, so a
load failure reports only that the extension is unavailable.

The IQ2_XS packer accepts one caller-computed FP16 scale per 256-value
block. #2446 owns that predictor and passes the same values to the
native and reference encoders.

## Provenance

- The CUDA kernels were independently written.
- They implement the packed-format contract and sign-parity convention
from the pinned [llama.cpp
definition](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/9b05354ec6fb58b4e665e9a39ebc40285c015638/ggml/src/ggml-common.h).
- `16.875 = 15 × (1 + 1/8)` is a derived IQ1_S constant.
- `0.125` is part of the encoded format.
- `0.61` is our empirical IQ1_S scale predictor, not copied from
upstream code.
- The IQ2_XS predictor constants are owned by #2446 and are not
duplicated in this kernel.

Human review is still required to confirm that the attribution and
license treatment are sufficient.

## Validation

- repository hooks, including native formatting, pass for all changed
files
- extension loader and test modules compile as Python
- all 20 direct-extension and CUDA integration test cases collect
locally
- CUDA runtime execution is delegated to GPU CI because the local host
is macOS
- restricted-term scan passes

Add the provider for modelopt.torch.quantization.ggml. The checkout contains no such package, and pyproject.toml declares no runtime dependency that provides it. modelopt.torch.export.__init__ imports convert_hf_config, which imports this module at module scope. Therefore, importing modelopt.torch.export fails before the HF and Megatron entrypoints load. Those entrypoints also import the IQ functions at module scope, so the failure occurs before IQ export is invoked.

Add the provider for the exact modelopt.torch.quantization.ggml module to the base runtime dependencies, or include that package in this distribution. This shared correction covers quant_utils.py, convert_hf_config.py, unified_export_hf.py, and unified_export_megatron.py.

### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Code refactoring

`#2448` added the GGML IQ packing kernels as **two** torch extensions,
`modelopt_cuda_ext_iq1_s` and `modelopt_cuda_ext_iq2_xs`. This merges
them into one,
`modelopt_cuda_ext_ggml`.

The existing per-extension split in `extensions.py` exists for reasons
that don't apply
to the IQ formats: `get_cuda_ext` gates on CUDA `>=11` while
`_fp8`/`_mx` gate on
`>=11.8`, and `_mx` needs `--use_fast_math`, which must not reach the
base `tensor_quant`
kernels. `get_cuda_ext_iq1_s` and `get_cuda_ext_iq2_xs` differed in none
of that —
same `>=11.8` gate, same `-O3` flags, same `common.cuh` — so the split
only compiled the
shared header twice, ran nvcc twice, and grew the loader, `__getattr__`,
and
`precompile()` once per format. With IQ2_XXS / IQ3_S / IQ4_NL plausibly
following, that
scales badly.

Changes:

- New `ggml/ggml.cpp` holds both host-side validation wrappers and the
single
`PYBIND11_MODULE`, binding `iq1_s_pack` and `iq2_xs_pack` (previously
each module
exported a bare `pack`). Deletes `ggml/iq1_s.cpp` and `ggml/iq2_xs.cpp`;
the
  validation logic and docstrings carry over unchanged.
- `get_cuda_ext_iq1_s` + `get_cuda_ext_iq2_xs` → `get_cuda_ext_ggml`,
which builds
`ggml.cpp`, `iq1_s.cu`, and `iq2_xs.cu` together. The
retry-on-`raise_if_failed`
  semantics of the old getters are preserved.
- Each format keeps its kernels in its own translation unit, so adding a
format is a new
`.cu` plus one `module.def` — no new extension, loader, or
`precompile()` line.

No caller outside `extensions.py` and its tests referenced the old
getters on `main`, so
nothing else changes. **Note for the follow-up PRs in the `#2448` series
(`#2446`/`#2447`/`#2449`): the codec layer should call
`get_cuda_ext_ggml().iq1_s_pack(...)` / `.iq2_xs_pack(...)` instead of
`get_cuda_ext_iq1_s().pack(...)` / `get_cuda_ext_iq2_xs().pack(...)`.**

### Usage

```python
from modelopt.torch.quantization.extensions import get_cuda_ext_ggml

ext = get_cuda_ext_ggml(raise_if_failed=True)
iq1_s_payload = ext.iq1_s_pack(weight, iq1s_grid)            # uint8 [numel / 256, 50]
iq2_xs_payload = ext.iq2_xs_pack(weight, iq2xs_grid, scales) # uint8 [numel / 256, 74]
```

### Testing

Ran on a single H200 NVL (TRT-LLM `1.3.0rc27.dev202609170000`
container), building the
merged extension from scratch:

- `pytest tests/gpu/_extensions/test_torch_extensions.py` — **24
passed** (6:44). This
is the full existing IQ suite (zero-block layout, encode, dtype
rejection,
row-straddling rejection, invalid/negative-zero scales, byte-exact dtype
equivalence,
and the brute-force optimality round-trip) reparametrized onto the
merged module,
  plus the untouched `modelopt_cuda_ext` / `_fp8` / `_mx` load tests.
- Verified `precompile()` loads all four extensions and that the merged
module exports
  exactly `iq1_s_pack` and `iq2_xs_pack` with the expected arities.
- Off-GPU: compiled the three sources directly and linked them into one
`.so` to confirm
no duplicate-symbol collisions between the two `.cu` translation units.
- `pre-commit run --files ...` passes on all changed files (ruff, mypy,
clang-format,
  bandit, license headers).

### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"

- Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — the removed getters were
added in `#2448`
(merged today, unreleased) and have no callers outside this file's own
tests.
- If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP
dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A — no new
code or dependencies; the moved wrappers keep their original
attribution.
- Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ — existing coverage
reparametrized onto the merged module; no behavior change to test.
- Did you update
[Changelog](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?:
N/A — internal refactor of an unreleased, not-yet-wired-up API.
- Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ — not yet run.

### Additional Information

Follow-up to #2448. Merge before the remaining PRs in that series
(#2446, #2447, #2449)
land, so the codec layer is written against `get_cuda_ext_ggml` and no
rename is needed
afterwards.
