WalkthroughTriton MXFP4 MoE resolution now accepts plain SwiGLU and GPT-OSS SwiGLU activations. Unsupported activation families fall back to Cutlass. Documentation and selection-time tests cover the updated behavior. ChangesTriton MXFP4 activation resolution
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The backend-selection fix is localized and supported by regression tests; the remaining test-registration and type-annotation follow-up does not indicate a merge-blocking correctness risk.

Register the regression tests and add type annotations.
- Add
tests/unittest/_torch/modules/moe/test_triton_moe_resolution.pyto the applicable CItest-dblist. No matching CI or QA entry exists, so the regression tests can be omitted. - Annotate
_resolve_tritonand the three test functions with parameter and return types.
Added tests: test_triton_serves_plain_swiglu_mxfp4, test_triton_still_serves_gptoss_swiglu, and test_triton_degrades_on_non_swiglu_activation. Selection coverage is sufficient; the overall coverage verdict is needs follow-up until CI registration is added.

Summary
TritonFusedMoE.can_implementrejected any layer withswiglu_gptoss_style=False, a claim that was inert since02b80bfd58([TRTLLM-9111][feat] provide the uniform test framework to test all MoE backends #11128) becausecreate_moe.pyinstantiatedTritonFusedMoEdirectly and never consulted the gate. Whenf75a75b179([TRTLLM-14956][refactor] make MoE implementation selection reproducible #17532) routed every MoE request through the resolver, that stale claim became load-bearing: an explicitTRITONbackend request for Qwen3-30B-A3B W4A16-MXFP4 was rejected on all 48 layers and silently degraded toCutlassFusedMoE, whose WFP4A16 loader indexesweight_scale_invkeys this checkpoint does not ship — raisingKeyError: '0.w3.weight_scale_inv'during weight load. The claim was never true: each Triton quant method'sapplybranches onbeta == 1.0, serving gpt-oss via the fused activation and plain SwiGLU viaswiglu_torchat thealpha=1.0/beta=0.0defaults.ActivationType.Swiglu,ActivationType.SwigluBias) instead ofswiglu_gptoss_style, so plain-SwiGLU MXFP4 checkpoints stay on the backend the user explicitly requested and never reach the Cutlass loader that cannot read their scale spelling. This was preferred over patching the Cutlass WFP4A16 loader to accept theweight_scalespelling: that would have papered over a silent backend substitution and left an explicitTRITONrequest running on Cutlass. Grading usedgrep -c "cannot serve this layer"== 0 (down from 96 = 48 layers × 2 sites) rather than exit code, since a Cutlass-side fix would have produced a green MMLU (80.19 vs 77.983 threshold) while measuring the wrong backend. Also updatedMOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.mdand removed the corresponding waiver line.pytest tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch.py::TestQwen3_30B_A3B::test_w4a16_mxfp4[latency-TRITON] -vTest plan
