[#18658][fix] Dequantize FP8 block-scaled weights for unquantized DeepSeek-V3.2/GLM indexer projections - #18665
Conversation
…ed DeepSeek-V3.2/GLM indexer projections FP8 block-scaled DSA checkpoints (DeepSeek-V3.2, GLM-5.x, W4AFP8 derivatives) store the lightning-indexer key projection wk as FP8 with a 128x128 block scale, but TRT-LLM deliberately builds wk as an unquantized fp32 Linear. The generic branch of DeepseekV3WeightLoader.load_weights handed the FP8 codes straight to UnquantizedLinearMethod, which casts them to the parameter dtype and drops weight_scale_inv: the loaded wk was the raw codes (1033x too large for GLM-5.3, row cosine 0.91 against the real weight), which perturbs top-k selection for every context longer than index_topk. Dequantize such tensors with the existing weight_dequant kernel before they reach an unquantized Linear. Every other module is returned unchanged.

Cover quantized Linear no-op behavior and annotate the test functions.
The test passes quant_config=None, so Linear.has_any_quant is false and the helper’s quantized guard is not exercised. Add an FP8 block-scaled mapping for a quantized Linear and assert that the original mapping is returned unchanged.
Add type annotations to _fp8_block_scaled, test_unquantized_linear_gets_dequantized_weight, and test_quantized_or_scaleless_weights_are_untouched.
Test coverage summary: Float32 and bfloat16 dequantization, plain weights, scaleless FP8, and non-Linear cases are covered. Quantized-Linear no-op behavior is not covered. No entries for the changed tests were found in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ or tests/integration/test_lists/qa/.

Fixes #18658.
FP8 block-scaled DSA checkpoints (DeepSeek-V3.2, GLM-5 / 5.2 / 5.3, and W4AFP8 derivatives) store the lightning-indexer key projection
model.layers.L.self_attn.indexer.wk.weightas FP8 with a 128x128weight_scale_inv. TRT-LLM deliberately builds that projection as an unquantized fp32Linear(quant_config=None, fused withweights_projinto one TF32 GEMM), so the generic branch ofDeepseekV3WeightLoader.load_weightshands the FP8 codes toUnquantizedLinearMethod, whosecopy_weightcasts them to the parameter dtype and never applies the scale. The loadedwkis the raw codes: for GLM-5.3 that is ~1000x the real magnitude and, because the per-block scales differ 4-6x across column blocks, the rows are also directionally wrong (cosine 0.91 against the dequantized weight), which perturbs top-k selection for every context longer thanindex_topk. Details and the numeric check are in the issue.Change: a small helper
maybe_dequantize_fp8_block_scaled_weightinmodeling_deepseekv3.pydequantizes an FP8 tensor that carries aweight_scale_invand targets an unquantizedLinear, using the existingweight_dequanttriton kernel, beforemodule.load_weightsis called in that generic branch. Every other case (quantized modules, non-FP8 weights, tensors without a scale, non-Linear modules) is returned unchanged, so the FP8 block-scale, NVFP4 and W4A8 paths are untouched.Impact: only unquantized
Linearmodules fed FP8 block-scaled checkpoint tensors change behaviour; today that is the DSA indexerwk. Load time adds one small dequant per full-indexer layer (128 x hidden). WithTRTLLM_DSA_INDEXER_BF16=1(#18264) the same helper feeds the bf16 parameter. On a GLM-5.3 W4AFP8 deployment (8x H200) the change removed the two degenerate long-prompt outputs we could reproduce with greedy decoding and did not change throughput.Test Coverage
