[#18659][fix] Apply the DeepSeek kv_b_proj default exclusion on the MIXED_PRECISION quant-config path - #18666
Conversation
… the MIXED_PRECISION quant-config path The plain-FP8 path (load_hf_quant_config) always adds *kv_b_proj*, *k_b_proj* and *eh_proj* to exclude_modules because the FP8 128x128 block boundaries do not necessarily align with the per-head split of kv_b_proj (GLM-5 has qk_nope_head_dim=192), which routes kv_b_proj to the dequant loader path. The MIXED_PRECISION path (hf_quant_config.json + quant_cfg.json, the W4AFP8 checkpoint format) only took exclude_modules from the JSON, so a GLM checkpoint with an FP8 block-scaled kv_b_proj entry crashed in load_kv_b_proj_and_k_b_proj_trans (unflatten [64, 3] vs 224 scale rows). Add the same default exclusion when the per-layer map contains an FP8 block-scaled self_attn.kv_b_proj entry, preserving user-provided patterns and leaving non-MLA and NVFP4 kv_b_proj entries untouched.

When a mixed-precision map contains an FP8 kv_b_proj but assigns k_b_proj or eh_proj a different algorithm such as NVFP4/W4A8, adding all three global patterns causes apply_quant_config_exclude_modules() to overwrite those explicit per-layer configs with an unquantized config after layerwise assignment. The model then creates full-precision parameters for quantized checkpoint tensors, which can make the checkpoint fail to load or interpret its weights incorrectly. Add the kv_b_proj exclusion here, but only add the other patterns when their corresponding per-layer entries are also FP8 block-scaled.

When different layers assign different algorithms to kv_b_proj—for example, layer 0 uses FP8 block scales while layer 1 uses NVFP4 or remains unquantized—this any() promotes the first FP8 entry into a global *kv_b_proj* exclusion. apply_quant_config_exclude_modules() then removes the per-layer quantization from every kv_b_proj, and the DeepSeek loader's bare-name exclusion check selects its FP8 dequantization path for every layer, including layers whose checkpoint tensors do not have the expected FP8 block-scale layout. Such a valid mixed-precision checkpoint can consequently fail on a missing/incompatible scale tensor; the exclusion and loader decision need to remain per-layer rather than being enabled by any single entry.

Fixes #18659.
load_hf_quant_config(the plain-FP8 config path) always merges["*kv_b_proj*", "*k_b_proj*", "*eh_proj"]intoexclude_modulesfor FP8 block-scaled checkpoints, because the 128x128 block boundaries do not necessarily align with the per-head split ofkv_b_proj(GLM-5 hasqk_nope_head_dim=192, i.e. 3.5 scale rows per head), and the DeepSeek-V3 weight loader then takes the dequant path forkv_b_proj. The MIXED_PRECISION path (hf_quant_config.json+quant_cfg.json, the format ofBarrrrry/DeepSeek-R1-W4AFP8and of W4AFP8 GLM checkpoints) only takesexclude_modulesfrom the JSON, so a GLM-5.x checkpoint with an FP8 block-scaledself_attn.kv_b_projentry crashes inload_kv_b_proj_and_k_b_proj_transwithunflatten: Provided sizes [64, 3] don't multiply up to the size of dim 0 (224).Change: in
ModelConfig._build_modelopt_quant_config, when the MIXED_PRECISION per-layer map contains a*.self_attn.kv_b_projentry withFP8_BLOCK_SCALES, merge the same default exclusion the FP8 path uses (deduplicated against user-provided patterns). Non-MLA maps and NVFP4kv_b_projentries are untouched. Becauseapply_quant_config_exclude_modulesruns after the per-layer assignment, the excludedkv_b_projis built unquantized and the loader'sdequant_kv_b_projdecision (is_module_excluded_from_quantization("kv_b_proj")) selects the dequant path, exactly as for FP8 checkpoints.Impact: MIXED_PRECISION checkpoints that list an FP8 block-scaled
kv_b_proj(including DeepSeek-R1-W4AFP8, 128/128 heads) now loadkv_b_projthrough the dequant path like every FP8 checkpoint already does, instead of the per-head FP8 scale split; this is what the FP8 path has shipped for all DeepSeek models and removes the need for a hand-written exclusion in the JSON. If you prefer to keep the split path for 128-aligned heads, the condition can be narrowed toqk_nope_head_dim % 128 != 0, but that needs the pretrained config in the builder. Companion to #18665 (indexerwkdequant); the two are independent.Test Coverage
