Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Comment: the guard logic is sound, but it only works when the model was loaded from a local directory, and nothing tests it through the real export path.
Needs action:
- Resolve hub-id
name_or_path(e.g.nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-...) through the local HF cache in_source_checkpoint_keys. Right nowPath(hub_id).is_dir()is False, so the guard does nothing and the NemotronH bug still ships for hub-id loads. Or explain in the PR why only local paths are in scope (see inline). - Add a test that goes through
_build_reverse_rules: aSimpleNamespacewith_weight_conversions=[WeightRenaming("embedding.weight","embeddings.weight")]andname_or_path=tmp_path. Assert that bothrevert_weight_conversion_quant_awareandbuild_reverse_name_mapperkeepbackbone.embeddings. - Add a test for the single-file
model.safetensorsbranch and for the malformed-index fallback (should returnNone). - Move
from safetensors import safe_opento the top of the module. safetensors is already a top-level import elsewhere inmodelopt/torch/export.
No action needed:
- The new tests only add coverage. No existing test was changed.
- The CHANGELOG entry is present. No licensing changes.

Bot comment.
When the model is loaded via a hub id (from_pretrained("nvidia/...")), name_or_path is the repo id, not a directory, so this returns None and the guard does nothing. That happens even when the snapshot is already in the local HF cache. It's a common way hf_ptq.py gets used, so the reported NemotronH failure would still occur there. Consider resolving the index with huggingface_hub.try_to_load_from_cache(path, _SAFETENSORS_INDEX) (or transformers.utils.cached_file(..., local_files_only=True)) before giving up. That stays offline and costs little.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed in b586ded.
_source_checkpoint_keys now goes through a new _checkpoint_dir(): a local path is used directly, and a repo id is resolved with huggingface_hub.try_to_load_from_cache (offline, no download, HFValidationError treated as unknown). An uncached id still returns None, so behavior there is unchanged.
Verified against the real checkpoint rather than a tmp fixture — same model, two arms differing only in this file:
guard absent : hub resolver False -> _source_checkpoint_keys unavailable
guard present: local snapshot dir : keys=42683 canonical=True legacy=False
hub id via HF cache : keys=42683 canonical=True legacy=False
The bare repo id now reads the same 42,683 keys as the snapshot directory.

Bot comment.
There's no stated reason for this local import, e.g. avoiding an optional dependency. safetensors is already imported at module level elsewhere in modelopt/torch/export (layerwise_export.py), so please move it to the top of the file.

Agreed, there was no reason to defer it. Moved from safetensors import safe_open to module scope in b586ded, alongside a new module-level logger; the except Exception fallback now emits logger.debug with the exception before returning None, so a silently disabled guard is diagnosable (that was CodeRabbit's related nitpick).

Bot comment.
This is the single integration point that makes both the tensor rename and build_reverse_name_mapper (exclude_modules/quantized_layers) honor the guard. The new tests only call _drop_non_idempotent_renames and _source_checkpoint_keys directly. Please add a test that uses a real WeightRenaming in _weight_conversions, with name_or_path pointing at a tmp index. It should check that the exported tensor key and the mapped config name both stay backbone.embeddings, and that the backbone.→model. reverse still applies.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fair hit — deleting the wiring line would have passed every test I had. Added test_source_aware_guard_applies_through_the_export_paths in b586ded, which drives a real WeightRenaming pair through _build_reverse_rules with name_or_path pointing at a tmp index:
_weight_conversions=[
WeightRenaming("backbone.", "model."),
WeightRenaming("embedding.weight", "embeddings.weight"),
]It asserts backbone.embeddings.weight is written and backbone.embedding.weight is not, that the unrelated backbone. reverse still fires, and that revert_quant_config_names(build_reverse_name_mapper(model)) keeps both quantized_layers and exclude_modules on backbone.embeddings. Removing the _drop_non_idempotent_renames call from _build_reverse_rules now fails it.
Also added the single-file model.safetensors branch and the malformed-index fallback (bad JSON and a missing weight_map), which were the other two asks.

I also ran the full export end to end rather than relying on the tiny-model reproduction: the 120B re-quantized from the published BF16 checkpoint with this branch, same recipe as the original report. The export carries Caveat stated plainly: the artefact has not been booted in vLLM — the environment used for the export has no nvcc, so a serve stops in FlashInfer JIT for unrelated reasons.

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Comment: all four of my earlier asks are fixed, but the new single-file test will fail as written, and the key reader duplicates an existing helper.
Needs action:
- Fix
test_source_checkpoint_keys_reads_single_file.dict.fromkeys(_SOURCE_KEYS, torch.ones(1))gives every key the same tensor, andsafetensors.torch.save_filerefuses tensors that share memory, so the test errors before_source_checkpoint_keysruns. Build one tensor per key instead (see inline). - Reuse
indexed_weight_mapfrommodelopt/torch/utils/plugins/hf_checkpoint_utils.pyin_source_checkpoint_keysinstead of reimplementing the index and single-file reads. Keep only the hub-cache resolution in_checkpoint_dir. - Pass the model's loaded revision and cache dir to
try_to_load_from_cache, or document that the guard only checksmainin the default cache. Otherwise a pinned-revision load can read a different snapshot's keys.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: hub-id resolution, the
_build_reverse_rulesintegration test, the single-file and malformed-index branches, and the module-scopesafe_open. - The module-level
huggingface_hubimport is fine.modelopt.torch.export.__init__already imports it throughhf_checkpoint_utils, so CodeRabbit's optional-dependency concern doesn't apply. - The tests only add coverage. No existing test changed, there are no licensing changes, and the CHANGELOG entry is present.

Bot comment.
dict.fromkeys(_SOURCE_KEYS, torch.ones(1)) gives every key the same tensor object. safetensors.torch.save_file detects shared storage and raises RuntimeError, so this test fails before it reaches the code under test. Use {k: torch.ones(1) for k in _SOURCE_KEYS}.

Correct, and thank you — this one was a real defect. Fixed in cd46347d9.
Verified the claim before acting on it rather than taking the diff:
fromkeys: RAISED RuntimeError Some tensors share memory, this will lead to
duplicate memory on disk ... [{'c.weight', 'a.weight', ...
dictcomp: SAVED OK
Now {key: torch.ones(1) for key in _SOURCE_KEYS}.
Worth recording why it survived review green: the unit-test matrix is not among the checks running on this PR, so the file had never executed. I have since run it directly — 68 passed for the whole file, and all 11 tests this PR adds pass by name, this one included.

Bot comment.
hf_checkpoint_utils.indexed_weight_map(directory) already does this read: the index's weight_map, or the single-file keys through safe_open. Consider return set(indexed_weight_map(directory)) or None so the repo has one index reader. A missing weight_map then gives an empty set, which _drop_non_idempotent_renames already treats as inert. The malformed-index test would need to change to match.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed, and adopted in cd46347d9 — apologies for letting this one go by without a reply the first time.
_source_checkpoint_keys now ends in:
return set(indexed_weight_map(directory)) or None_checkpoint_dir stays for the hub-cache resolution, which indexed_weight_map does not do. Both malformed-index cases survive unchanged: bad JSON raises inside the helper and is caught, and a missing weight_map yields {} -> None via the or, which is the same "unknown" the guard already treats as inert — so the existing test needed no adjustment after all.
Net effect on the diff is a reduction: the duplicated reader is gone, and with it the module-level json and safetensors imports.

Bot comment.
try_to_load_from_cache defaults to revision="main" and the default cache dir. A model loaded with revision= or cache_dir= can resolve to the wrong snapshot or to none. That's harmless when nothing is found, but it could filter rules using a different revision's keys. Consider passing them through when they're recorded on the config, or state this limitation in the docstring.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
revision is handled as of b75a6c578 (via config._commit_hash).
For cache_dir I took the second option you offered and documented the limitation, in cd46347d9 — transformers does not record cache_dir on the model, so there is nothing to pass through. The docstring now says so, and notes that such a model resolves against the default cache and most likely finds nothing, which leaves the guard inert and behavior unchanged. That is the safe direction: the guard only ever acts on positive evidence, so a miss costs nothing beyond the fix not applying.

[P2] Keep reverse renames for source namespaces that still need them
MiniMax-M3 is a concrete mixed-namespace case: its published checkpoint uses .block_sparse_moe. for sparse text layers, but .mlp. for vision and dense text layers. Transformers 5.18.0 registers a forward .block_sparse_moe. → .mlp. rename. This guard tests the reverse against the already-canonical vision/dense keys, finds only absent .block_sparse_moe. destinations, and drops the entire rule—including the part needed to restore text MoE names.
Using the model's actual conversion mapping and published checkpoint index:
Input: model.language_model.layers.3.mlp.experts.0.gate_proj.weight
Expected: language_model.model.layers.3.block_sparse_moe.experts.0.w1.weight
Actual: language_model.model.layers.3.mlp.experts.0.w1.weight
The same regression affects the router (block_sparse_moe.gate.weight becomes mlp.gate.weight) and the corresponding quantized_layers / exclude_modules entries. These text-MoE names restore correctly with this new guard bypassed; the new exported names are absent from the source checkpoint.
Could we make suppression key-/namespace-aware instead of deleting the whole rule, and add a regression test containing both canonical vision/dense mlp keys and renamed text-MoE keys, covering weights and config mapping?
Validation: reproduced with a tiny native MiniMaxM3SparseForConditionalGeneration, the real 23,416-key source index, and small router / pre-expanded expert test tensors. I have not run a full-model export or serving test.

You're right that the rule-level guard was the wrong granularity, and I've reworked it rather than patched it. Thanks — this was a good catch.
Confirmed against the real published index before changing anything. It is genuinely mixed-namespace:
total keys 23,416
.block_sparse_moe. 22,173
.mlp. 137 (dense text layers + vision tower)
Driving that key set through the old guard reproduced exactly what you described: the reverse rule rewrites only the 137 already-canonical keys, every result is absent, so the whole rule is dropped and the 22,173 MoE names stop reverting.
What the real data also showed is that neither answer is right for the whole model — keeping the rule corrupts the dense/vision keys, dropping it corrupts the MoE keys:
in-memory rule dropped rule kept
..layers.N.mlp.experts.0.w1.weight ..mlp.experts.. ✗ ..block_sparse_moe.. ✓
..layers.M.mlp.down_proj.weight ..mlp.down_proj ✓ ..block_sparse_moe.. ✗
So suppression can't be a property of the rule at all. The guard now resolves per key: apply the chain, and if the result is a name the checkpoint doesn't carry while the chain without the name-inventing rules gives one it does, prefer the latter. No rule is ever discarded, so a rule needed for one namespace keeps applying there. Scale tensors are resolved by the weight of the module they belong to, so a module can't be split across two namespaces.
Verification, driving every published key through the reverse chain:
round-trip of all 23,416 published keys: ALL CORRECT
layers.N.mlp.experts.0.w1{.weight,.weight_scale,.input_scale}
-> layers.N.block_sparse_moe.experts.0.w1{...} renamed
layers.M.mlp.down_proj{.weight,.weight_scale,.input_scale}
-> unchanged already canonical
Regression tests added as you asked, covering both namespaces across weights, scale tensors and the config mapping: test_mixed_namespace_rename_applies_only_where_the_source_needs_it, test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight, test_mixed_namespace_config_names_track_the_weights.
Two notes for the record:
- I couldn't locate the
.block_sparse_moe.→.mlp.rename in the transformers source (no match inminimax_m3_vl,minimax_m2orminimaxatv5.18.0), so I verified the guard under both the bare container rename and the anchored\.mlp\.experts\./\.mlp\.gate\.forms this repo's own fixtures use. The per-key resolution is correct either way, which is partly why I preferred it — it never has to reason about a rule in the abstract. If you have the exact registered patterns handy I'd still like them for the test fixture. - The reworked guard also found a latent bug in my own earlier version: the empty-conversion-mapping early return had the wrong arity and would have raised
ValueErrorfor any model declaring no mapping. Fixed, with a test.
Also re-ran the full 120B NemotronH export end to end on the final code (canonical name present, legacy absent, 0 source names missing, 0 invented), and an unaffected model's export came back byte-identical to its pre-guard artefact — all 8 shards.

Ran the MiniMax-M3 check myself against the real registered Transformers mapping, rather than waiting on the repro. @meenchen's concern was real, and the bare-container rule in the fixture turns out to be the registered shape.
Setup. Real MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3 config.json and its published model.safetensors.index.json (23,416 keys). The model is built on meta from the in-tree minimax_m3_vl classes — no remote code, and no weights, since the checkpoint is 869 GB. Transformers 5.17.0.
The rule is registered, unscoped, and bare. _build_reverse_rules() returns 18 rename rules, 1 split rule, expert leaves ['gate_up_proj', 'down_proj'], and among them:
RenameRule(pattern='\\.mlp\\.', repl='.block_sparse_moe.', scope=())
The published index is genuinely mixed: 22,173 keys under .block_sparse_moe., 137 under .mlp. (dense text layers 0–2 plus the vision tower).
Round trip. Every export-shaped in-memory name — experts pre-expanded into per-expert 2-D linears, fused projections un-fused, 23,420 names — pushed through the full 18-rule chain:
| strategy | lands on a published key | invented | published keys unreached |
|---|---|---|---|
| per-key resolver (this PR) | 23,416 | 4 | 0 |
| no source evidence (pre-PR) | 23,279 | 141 | 137 |
| rule-level drop (earlier design) | 1,243 | 22,177 | 22,173 |
The 4 "invented" names are the rotary inv_freq / original_inv_freq buffers; I checked each against model.state_dict() and all four are non-persistent, so they are never exported. Every published key is reached and nothing is invented.
That is exactly the regression you described. Dropping the rule at rule level breaks the 22,173 sparse names; leaving it unconditional breaks the 137 dense and vision ones. Deciding per key keeps the rule applying where the checkpoint carries block_sparse_moe and stops it where the checkpoint already carries mlp, which is why this model needs a per-key decision and not a per-rule one.
Correction on my earlier note about CI. The multi-version (unit-…) matrix does run on this PR — it ran on 9527df5 across 12 entries (3.10–3.14, torch 2.8–2.14, plus tf_min) and all 14 new tests pass there. My earlier statement that they had only been run locally was stale; please disregard it.
The one remaining red is gpu-tests (gpu_vllm, 15, vllm-openai:v0.30.0), which was cancelled at 15m07s on the job's 15-minute limit while in tests/gpu_vllm/torch/sparsity/attention_sparsity/ — not an assertion failure, and the same job on the v0.20.0 image passes in 9m22s. It is cancelling on other PRs today too, with passes landing at 10–15 minutes.
Reversing a transformers conversion mapping is ambiguous: given a canonical in-memory name, both the canonical and a legacy spelling are valid pre-images of the forward rename, and nothing inside the model breaks the tie. When a model declares a backwards-compatibility *load* rename as a reversible WeightRenaming, the reverse rewrites the canonical name to a legacy spelling the published checkpoint never carried, and a deployment loader keyed on the canonical name then cannot find the tensor. The checkpoint the model was loaded from does break the tie. Read its key set and resolve each exported name against it: when the rename chain produces a name the checkpoint lacks and the chain without the name-inventing rules produces one it has, prefer the latter. Resolve per key rather than per rule. A rule can be required for one namespace and wrong for another -- a mixed-namespace checkpoint stores its sparse layers under one container name while its dense and vision layers are already stored under the in-memory one -- so no rule is ever discarded, and a flagged rule keeps applying wherever it yields a name the checkpoint actually carries. Tensors the export adds, such as quantizer scales, are resolved by the weight of the module they belong to so a module is never split across two namespaces. Without readable source evidence the full rule chain applies unchanged, so the resolution is inert wherever the checkpoint cannot be read.

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Nudge: the per-key rework looks correct and handles meenchen's mixed-namespace case. A human should still confirm it against the real MiniMax-M3 mapping, because the author couldn't find the registered patterns.
Needs action:
- 💬 Author replied: they reworked suppression to work per key and added three mixed-namespace tests. These use a bare
\.mlp\.rule, not the actual Transformers 5.18 patterns. @meenchen should re-run their tinyMiniMaxM3SparseForConditionalGenerationrepro on the current head. - Sign off on the edit to
tests/unit/torch/export/test_quant_aware_conversion.py. It only adds code: thesave_fileimport, a module alias, fixtures and new tests. No existing assertion was changed or removed. - Rewrap the long docstring line in
_build_reverse_rules(see inline).
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last reviews: rule-level suppression is replaced by
_SourceAwareRenamer, and the empty-mapping early return now has the right arity. The hub-cache, revision,indexed_weight_mapand single-file fixture fixes are still in place. - I traced the config path.
build_reverse_name_mapperprobesbase + ".weight", so module names get the same per-key decision as the tensors. Both the dense case (...mlp.down_projstays unchanged) and the sparse case (...block_sparse_moe) hold. - The fallback is safe. If neither chain names a source tensor, the full chain applies, which is the old behaviour.
- About 190 added logic lines, under budget. No licensing changes.

This docstring line runs well past the 100-column limit (...the names the checkpoint has. Returns empty lists when). Please rewrap it so the line-length/format check doesn't complain.

Rewrapped in 9527df5 — the neighbouring docstring lines are ~86 columns, so the long one read badly and splitting it costs nothing.
One correction for the record, though: the line was not over the limit and no check was failing. This repo sets the docstring/comment limit separately from the code limit:
# pyproject.toml:273-274
[tool.ruff.lint.pycodestyle]
max-line-length = 120 # Line length limit for comments and docstringsline-length = 100 governs code; docstrings and comments get 120. The line was 112 columns, and ruff check --select E501 passed on it both before and after. Worth flagging so the 100-column figure doesn't get applied to docstrings in future reviews.

Bot comment.
The per-key fallback looks right to me. The full chain wins whenever its result (or the module's .weight) is in the source, the reduced chain is used only when it lands on a real source name, and otherwise the old behaviour applies. The mixed-namespace tests use a bare \.mlp\. rule, though, and the PR says the real MiniMax-M3 patterns weren't located. It would be good to have meenchen re-run the original repro on this head to confirm.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed on both counts, and I've addressed the test-shape gap in 9527df5.
You're right that a bare \.mlp\. rule was the only shape under test. Since I couldn't locate the registered patterns in transformers, the honest fix is not to pick a shape but to stop depending on one: every mixed-namespace assertion now runs against both declaration shapes — one bare container rule, and one rule per anchored leaf (\.mlp\.experts\. / \.mlp\.gate\., the form this repo's own fixtures use).
test_mixed_namespace_rename_applies_only_where_the_source_needs_it[bare-container] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_rename_applies_only_where_the_source_needs_it[anchored-leaves] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight[.weight-bare-container] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight[.weight-anchored-leaves] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight[.weight_scale-bare-container] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight[.weight_scale-anchored-leaves] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight[.input_scale-bare-container] PASSED
test_mixed_namespace_scales_follow_their_weight[.input_scale-anchored-leaves] PASSED
78 pass in the file. The two shapes differ in which keys they match — the anchored rules match no source key at all, the bare rule matches the 137 already-canonical ones — so they exercise genuinely different paths through the resolver and both land on the names the checkpoint carries.
That said, this is still my reconstruction of the mapping rather than the real thing, so I agree @meenchen re-running the original repro on this head is the check that actually settles it. I've asked him for the registered patterns as well, so the fixture can use the real ones instead of both candidates.
The mixed-namespace tests exercised a single bare container rule. The same rename can also be declared as one rule per anchored leaf, and which shape a model uses is not something the resolver should depend on, so run every mixed-namespace assertion against both. Also rewrap a docstring line whose neighbours are ~86 columns. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Juhi Mittal <juhim@nvidia.com>

The full chain gives
backbone.embedding.weight, which the checkpoint doesn't have. The chain without the name-inventing rule givesbackbone.embeddings.weight, which it does have, so that name wins. Scale tensors follow their module's.weight, and with no source keys the old behaviour applies. - About 190 added logic lines, under the size budget. No licensing changes, and the CHANGELOG entry is there.

Taking the three open items in turn. 1. MiniMax-M3 confirmation — agreed, and it's the one thing I can't close myself. Both rule shapes in the fixture are my reconstruction; neither is asserted to be the registered pattern. @meenchen, re-running your tiny For what it's worth on the failure you originally reported: driving every key of the real published 23,416-key index through the reverse chain on this head round-trips all of them onto names the checkpoint carries, under either shape. 2. Test-file edit — confirmed, it is additive. Against The single deleted line is that import being extended. No existing test function or assertion is removed or modified. 3. Unit-test matrix — still not running on this PR, and I'd like a maintainer's call. The current check list is So the 78 passing results I've quoted are from running the file myself, not from CI: If the unit matrix is expected to run here, that looks like a gating gap worth fixing independently of this PR; if it is intentionally excluded on this path, I'd like to know what is expected to cover these tests before merge. |

What changed and why
A transformers conversion mapping is reversed on save so a quantized export keeps the
original hub checkpoint's names. That reverse must be a no-op on names already in
source form — the invariant
_idempotent_patternalready enforces for prefix rules.A model breaks it by declaring a backwards-compatibility load rename as a reversible
WeightRenaming. NemotronH does exactly this:The second rule mirrors a transformers-4
load_hook, which was load-only. Undertransformers 5 it is bidirectional, so reversing it rewrites the canonical
backbone.embeddings.weightto a legacybackbone.embedding.weightthat the publishedcheckpoint never used. vLLM's NemotronH loader maps the substring
embeddingstoembed_tokens, so the singular name reaches it unmapped and serving fails at load:The published checkpoint is plural, so the reverse was not restoring a name — it was
inventing one. This surfaced on a 0.48.0rc0 export of a 120B NemotronH checkpoint
(NVBug 6914213); 0.47 was unaffected only because it did not reverse the mapping at all.
The fix
_source_checkpoint_keys()reads the tensor names of the checkpoint the model was loadedfrom.
_SourceAwareRenamerthen resolves each key against them:Reversing a rename is genuinely ambiguous: given a canonical in-memory name, both the
canonical and a legacy spelling are valid pre-images of the forward rule, and nothing
inside the model breaks the tie. The source checkpoint does, which is why the evidence
has to come from it.
The decision is per key, never per rule. No rename is ever discarded, so a rule that
is required for one namespace keeps applying there even if it would invent a name
elsewhere — see the mixed-namespace case under Testing. Tensors the export adds, such as
quantizer scales, are resolved by the weight of the module they belong to, so a module is
never split across two namespaces.
Rules are flagged as name-inventing only on positive evidence: a rule must rewrite at
least one source key, and every source key it rewrites must land on a name absent from
the checkpoint. When the source checkpoint cannot be read (a config-built model, a hub id
never materialized locally, an unrecognized layout) behavior is unchanged.
The same resolution drives
build_reverse_name_mapper, soexclude_modules/quantized_layersmove with the tensors and stay aligned.Testing
Unit —
tests/unit/torch/export/test_quant_aware_conversion.py: 74 pass, of which 17items cover this change — the suppression, the two apply-anyway cases, the inert path, the
mixed-namespace case (weights, scale tensors and the config mapping), the sharded-index and
single-file reads, the malformed-index fallback, the cached-hub-id resolution and its
revision pinning, the empty-conversion-mapping early return, and the resolution end to end
through
_build_reverse_rules(asserting the exported tensor name,quantized_layersandexclude_modulesall stay canonical while an unrelated prefix rename still reverses).Mixed-namespace checkpoint (review follow-up) — a published checkpoint can store one
container name for some layers and the in-memory name for others, so a single rule is both
needed and wrong within the same model. Resolving per rule would discard it wholesale.
Checked against a real published 23,416-key index whose sparse layers are stored under
block_sparse_moewhile its dense and vision layers are already stored undermlp,driving every published key through the reverse chain:
Every key lands on a name the checkpoint actually carries, and a module's scale tensors
follow its weight.
Real checkpoint, before/after — tiny NemotronH built from the published
nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16config and its own remote code, withname_or_pathpointing at that checkpoint so the guard reads its real 42,683 names. Sametree, same venv (transformers 5.17.0), one file apart:
Renaming that key in the real 119 GB failing artefact clears the reported error: weight
loading completes (
Model loading took 28.72 GiB memory and 33.76 seconds).Hub-id
name_or_path—from_pretrained("nvidia/...")leavesname_or_pathas therepo id, which is not a directory, so the first revision of this guard read no keys and
silently did nothing. Resolved through the local HF cache and re-checked on the same
checkpoint, two arms one file apart:
Full export, end to end — the 120B re-quantized from the published BF16 checkpoint with
this commit on
PYTHONPATH, same recipe as the original report (general/ptq/fp8_default-kv_fp8_cast),4×GPU, 119 GB out:
125,147 export tensors against the source's 42,683, reconciling exactly: every published
name present, none invented. vLLM's
nemotron_hmapper turnsbackbone.embeddingsintomodel.embed_tokens, which exists, so the reportedValueErrorcannot arise from thisartefact. Not booted in vLLM — the environment used for the export has no nvcc, so a serve
would stop in FlashInfer JIT for unrelated reasons.
No-regression on an unaffected model — a separate model whose conversion
mapping carries several reverse renames, all of which do restore real source names, was
re-exported end to end from an identical tree plus this commit:
No rule is dropped when every rename is sound, so the export is unchanged.
Note for maintainers
This guards ModelOpt's export path. A plain
save_pretrainedround-trip of that checkpointunder transformers 5 still produces the legacy name, because HF's own
revert_weight_conversionis unguarded — the model card'sWeightRenamingis worth fixingseparately at the source.
