Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds Kimi K3 NVFP4 SiTU inference, but the current implementation can reject the advertised CUTLASS path, produce invalid outputs for incomplete SiTU configuration, and duplicate expert data during concurrent streaming loads. These are material correctness and feature-availability risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/include/moe_kernels.h`:
- Around line 140-142: Update the four-argument ActivationParams constructor
validation to require non-null swiglu_alpha and swiglu_beta when activation_type
is ActivationType::SiTu, preventing the runtime path from substituting a null
swiglu_beta with zero. Preserve the existing unsupported-activation validation
for configurations without alpha and beta.
Apply the same fix in `@cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moeOp.cpp` around lines 546 - 570:
Both runMoe and runMoeMinLantency call paths rely on the shared constructor
validation.
In `@cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/moe_gemm/moe_kernels.cuh`:
- Around line 78-93: Update SiTuAdaptor and the ActivationParams construction
path so swiglu_limit is not silently ignored for ActivationType::SiTu: either
apply limit consistently to the SiTu inputs, or, preferably, reject the
unsupported SiTu-plus-limit combination with the same validation behavior as
MegaMoECuteDsl. Anchor the validation to ActivationParams and preserve the
existing SwigluBiasAdaptor clamping behavior.
In `@examples/kimi_k3/eval_extra_llm_options_nvfp4_dep8.yaml`:
- Around line 1-10: Add a header comment to the DEP8 NVFP4 configuration marking
it as unvalidated and directing readers to the DEP16 sibling configuration’s
analysis explaining that DEP8 exceeds available memory. Keep the existing
backend and moe_config notes unchanged.
In `@examples/kimi_k3/run_eval_kimi_k3.sbatch`:
- Around line 193-196: Update the comment near MAX_BATCH_SIZE, MAX_NUM_TOKENS,
and KV_FRAC to state that these environment overrides apply only in default
mode; the sa, dflash, and tep branches replace them with mode-specific values.
- Around line 232-245: Update the evaluation setup around TASK_CMD and EVAL_TASK
so MAX_SEQ_LEN is derived from the selected evaluation configuration rather than
the default TASK when EVAL_TASK overrides it. Preserve explicit MAX_SEQ_LEN
overrides, and ensure GPQA uses its configured 69632-token context unless an
override is provided; keep existing invalid-TASK validation unchanged.
In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/custom_ops/cute_dsl_megamoe_custom_op.py`:
- Around line 1701-1707: Update the custom op signature containing
apply_topk_in_fc1 and the fake declaration to preserve existing positional
argument meanings: move situ_beta and situ_linear_beta after num_tokens, or make
both keyword-only, and keep the declaration orders identical.
In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_kimi_linear.py`:
- Around line 1164-1179: Update both routed-quant logger.debug calls in the
surrounding configuration lookup to use a single preformatted f-string argument,
preserving the existing layer, quantization, group-size, and fallback values
without printf-style placeholders.
- Around line 982-1018: Update the routed MoE backend configuration so the
CUTLASS path in the SiTu setup is reachable: add CUTLASS to the supported
backends returned by _routed_moe_model_config(). Preserve the existing TRTLLM
validation and CUTLASS initialization behavior.
In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/fused_moe/quantization.py`:
- Around line 2415-2481: Make the duplicate-load guard in the NVFP4 streaming
loader race-free by adding a module-level _STREAMED_NVFP4_SLOT_CLAIM_LOCK and
atomically checking and claiming local_slot_id before any weight, scale,
staging-dict, or finalize_streamed_expert writes. If the slot is already
claimed, raise the existing duplicate-load error; ensure retries cannot
transform the destination again, and remove the deferred claim after the writes.
In `@tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b300.yml`:
- Around line 41-57: Update the applicable B300 test list to register the five
remaining tests from test_kimi_k3_situ_moe.py, including the derived_act_scale
parameterized case, and add the new top-level test_gated_activation_parity.py
entry. Preserve the existing explicit test-by-test registration style.
In `@tests/unittest/_torch/models/checkpoints/hf/test_weight_loader.py`:
- Around line 517-519: Extend the test around loader.load_weights to assert that
the returned ConsumableWeightsDict preserves the expected weight key and tensor
after lazy loading, using the existing input mapping’s key/value so an empty
mapping with the correct checkpoint_dir cannot pass.
In `@tests/unittest/_torch/modules/moe/test_kimi_k3_situ_moe.py`:
- Around line 1582-1589: Make the test input and its explanatory comment
consistent: update the call to FP8Linear.prepare_checkpoint_scale so it passes
the intended checkpoint scale shape directly instead of converting ckpt_scale_4d
back to 2-D via _checkpoint_scale_2d. If the API contract is actually 2-D,
remove the unused 4-D setup and revise the comment accordingly.

…partition Address review feedback on NVIDIA#17865. - Use `_compute_ep_partition` instead of `num_experts // ep_size` so the per-expert SiTU constants match `expert_size_per_partition` on uneven expert/EP splits, where moeOp.cpp's `swiglu_alpha must have num_experts_on_rank elements` check would otherwise fire. - Document why MEGAMOE_CUTEDSL intentionally has no SiTU kwarg branch.

is_gated_activation is documented to stay aligned with
isGatedActivation in cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/include/
moe_gemm_kernels.h. The C++ side lists Swiglu, Geglu, SwigluBias and
SiTu; the Python side was never updated when SiTu was added.
The Python list is what feeds is_gated_activation ->
intermediate_size_expand_ratio, so a MoE configured with
ActivationType.SiTu sized w3_w1_weight for a non-gated activation - half
the rows a gated FC1 needs.
Nothing complains on the way there. The Cutlass NVFP4 loader concatenates
the two halves and fits the result to the destination with
torch.nn.functional.pad, and a negative pad truncates rather than
raising, so a wrongly-sized destination reads as a successful load. The
first and only complaint was a shape check inside the kernel at warmup:
RuntimeError: fc1_expert_weights inter size must be 2 times
fc2_expert_weights inter size.
The test parses isGatedActivation out of the header and asserts the two
sets are equal, so the alignment the comment asks for is now enforced
rather than remembered.
Found while bringing up Kimi K3 NVFP4, whose CUTLASS MoE path is
currently the only caller passing ActivationType.SiTu - so this cannot
move any other model's geometry.

_load_lazy_safetensors returns PySafeSlice objects so a model can stream a huge checkpoint and read only its rank-local shard. A slice does not carry the file it came from, so a model that wants to re-open shards itself - to keep each safetensors handle short-lived instead of holding the whole mapping open for the duration of the load - has no way back to the directory. The available fallback no longer works: transformers no longer populates PretrainedConfig._name_or_path, so a model guarding its per-shard path on finding an index under that directory silently takes the other branch forever. Kimi K3 does exactly that, and the result was not a wrong answer but an OOM - every shard stayed mapped, which is the failure the per-shard path exists to prevent. It went unnoticed because a smaller topology maps less per node and survived it. The loader that opened the directory is the authoritative source, so it now records it on the dict it returns.

Brings up nvidia/Kimi-K3-NVFP4 on the PyTorch backend and validates it at
DEP16 against the MXFP4 baseline: GSM8K 96.40 vs 96.47, GPQA-Diamond
91.92 +/- 1.94 vs a published 92.77 NVFP4 / 93.21 original. Both are
inside their error bars.
Four things blocked loading the checkpoint at all.
The config parse. 2790 attention entries are spelled FP8_PB_WO in
quantized_layers and the alias matched lowercase only, and only at the
top level, so each raised "'FP8_PB_WO' is not a valid QuantAlgo".
Canonicalization is now shared, case-insensitive, and applied to the top
level and to every per-layer entry; unknown values still pass through so
QuantAlgo keeps ownership of rejecting bad names.
The routed-expert quantization was hardcoded to W4A8_MXFP4_MXFP8. It is
now resolved per layer from the checkpoint, falling back to that value
when nothing is declared - which is exactly the original
moonshotai/Kimi-K3, so its behaviour is unchanged.
The expert loader only knew the MXFP4 packed layout, at the model level
and independently of the MoE backend, so the first NVFP4 run died with
30912 missing keys. Rather than writing an NVFP4 loader,
load_streaming_nvfp4_expert calls exactly the primitives the
whole-checkpoint path calls, on the same destinations, leaving the same
staging state - so every backend-specific decision stays owned by the
backend. That is what makes the [w1 | w3] ordering trap a non-issue:
Cutlass concatenates [w3 | w1], and delegating means never encoding a
guess about which.
And the attention weights, which is what the accuracy collapse turned out
to be. This checkpoint stores them FP8 E4M3 plus a 128x128 FP32 block
scale where the original stores BF16 - at the SAME shape, so the loader's
shape check passed, src.to(param.dtype) converted quantized values as
though they were real ones, and weight_scale sat in the checkpoint as a
key no parameter asked for. Every projection came out wrong by its block
scale and nothing raised; the model loaded clean and answered nonsense.
FP8 without a companion scale now raises.
Also here: per-expert draining of the Cutlass w3_w1 staging and
per-layer lazy preparation, which together bound a footprint that would
otherwise grow with the load; DEP16 configs (DEP8 does not fit - see the
plan doc); a task-agnostic launcher; and the tests, registered
individually in l0_b300.yml because the module carries 19 failures that
predate this work.
Depends on two generic fixes that ship separately, because neither is
K3-specific:
- is_gated_activation was missing SiTu, which the C++ side has. The
Python list feeds intermediate_size_expand_ratio, so CUTLASS sized
w3_w1 for a non-gated activation and F.pad's negative-pad truncation
hid it.
- The lazy weight loader now records the directory it opened;
transformers 5.x no longer sets _name_or_path, so the per-shard
streaming path had silently never run.

the CUTLASS path at DEP16: GSM8K 96.32 vs 96.40, GPQA-Diamond
93.94 +/- 1.70 vs 91.92 +/- 1.94. Both differences are inside their error
bars, and the configs differ from the CUTLASS ones in moe_config alone so
the comparison is attributable to the backend.
SiTU in the kernel. The activation is computed inside the existing
alpha_swiglu_clamp loop with no tanh call at all: beta*tanh(x/beta) is
rewritten as 2*beta*sigmoid(2x/beta) - beta, the same identity the
codebase already uses for gelu_tanh, which keeps the whole core on the
packed f32x2 path instead of dropping to scalar for a tanh that has no
packed form. Validated against the golden SituAndMul in float64 at K3's
beta=4.0 / linear_beta=25.0: max relative error ~1e-9.
situ_beta and situ_linear_beta are baked into the generated kernel, so
they join unique_id() - without that a SwiGLU-compiled kernel would be
silently reused for a SiTU launch - and name() in both kernel files. The
workspace probe takes the same parameters as the runner, so a parameter
added to one and not the other would size a buffer for a kernel that is
not the one launched.
Five things had to be fixed before it ran, all found by running it:
- An edit that inserted a method directly above another took its
@staticmethod. No test constructed the class, so nothing was red.
- K3 routes top-16 while the wrapper rejected anything above 13. That
bound is EXPERIMENTALLY widened here and is NOT kernel-confirmed;
see TODO-C in KIMI_K3_NVFP4_BRINGUP.md. Two benchmarks passing is
evidence at two shapes, not coverage.
- The backend keeps its raw NVFP4 params as 0-element placeholders and
rematerializes them inside its own load_weights, which the streaming
loader bypasses - so the per-expert writes indexed empty tensors.
- Its aux-scale coverage check compares against num_experts, which is
right for a whole-checkpoint load and wrong for a streaming EP one,
where the rank's own 56 of 896 IS complete.
- create_moe falls back silently when a backend declines a config, and
MegaMoE declines easily (EP-only, its own token and top-k limits), so
an explicit MEGAMOE_CUTEDSL request that quietly became CUTLASS would
be benchmarked as if it were MegaMoE. Now guarded, mirroring
MEGAMOE_DEEPGEMM.
Three of those are one mistake: the streaming API sits on the shared
NVFP4 base class, so it was assumed to cover this backend. The API was
shared; the backend's assumptions were not.
Known gap: finalize_streamed_expert is deliberately not implemented for
this backend. Its staging dicts are not only staging - _initial_slot_
coverage() counts their entries - so draining per expert would report
zero coverage. Bounding that footprint means moving the accounting onto
_streamed_expert_slots first.

…partition Address review feedback on NVIDIA#17865. - Use `_compute_ep_partition` instead of `num_experts // ep_size` so the per-expert SiTU constants match `expert_size_per_partition` on uneven expert/EP splits, where moeOp.cpp's `swiglu_alpha must have num_experts_on_rank elements` check would otherwise fire. - Document why MEGAMOE_CUTEDSL intentionally has no SiTU kwarg branch.
