is it possible to expand this cover general model types that we just want to do weight casting?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, the closed-form MXFP4-to-NVFP4 numerics can be reused and already live in shared numeric utilities used by this converter and the GPT-OSS cast. I would keep this script Kimi-K3-specific in this PR because its tensor paths, fused w1/w3 scale contract, manifest aliases and exclusions, attention policy, and config rewrite are model-specific. A general weight-only checkpoint caster would be better introduced as a focused follow-up.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Bind every rank to the same conversion configuration.
Line 808 validates only run_id and world_size. A rank can use different --attn_*, --cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4, --input_scale, source checkpoint, or shard limit and still write its assigned shards. Rank 0 then accepts the report and writes one manifest using its own settings.
Publish and validate a canonical conversion fingerprint in ready.json and each rank report. Include the resolved source path, shard list, conversion format flags, and input scale. Reject a rank before it writes shards when the fingerprint differs.
As per path instructions, “guard shared reports, manifests, and other file writes against races.”

Still open:
- The cross-rank "conversion fingerprint" comment (ranks can disagree on
--attn_*/--cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4/ source path; onlyrun_idandworld_sizeare validated). Given this is a multi-node example script writing a 2.8T checkpoint, a mismatched rank produces a silently inconsistent output that rank 0 happily finalizes. Not necessarily blocking, but it hasn't been answered. - 💬 @cjluo-nv asked whether this could be generalized to weight-only casting for other models; the author replied that the shared numerics already live in
numeric_utilsand proposed a follow-up for a general caster. That answers the numerics half, but not the larger duplication: this file re-implementsexamples/deepseek/deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.pyalmost verbatim for_dequantize_mxfp4_to_bf16,_kmax_from_mxfp4_scale,_build_w13_kmax_overrides,_quantize_weight_nvfp4_lossless,_link_or_copy/_hard_link_aux,_validate_paths,_prepare_output_dir,_log, and the shard-streaming/index-rewrite skeleton — ~200+ lines of copy-paste, including the identical w1/w3 fused-GEMM1 contract. The design gate fired on this PR and the PR body doesn't discuss why the DS-V4 streaming converter (or a sharedexamples/_shard_cast_utils.py) wasn't extended. That's a maintainer call, but it should be made explicitly rather than deferred implicitly.
New finding (correctness): the cast=False expert path derives weight_scale_2 independently per tensor, so w1 and w3 do not share one scale_2 — exactly the contract the module docstring says must hold for the fused GEMM1, and the contract the cast=True path now hard-fails to protect. DS-V4 solves this with _build_w13_weight_amax_overrides; here there is no equivalent and no test. Since --cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4 is a store_true defaulting to off, a bare python quantize_to_nvfp4.py --source_ckpt ... --output_ckpt ... silently emits a wrong checkpoint.
Other notes: the recipe→converter translation (_conversion_settings_from_recipe) only extracts 5 fields, so any added/edited quantizer entry in the shipped recipe (e.g. enabling shared experts) is silently ignored while the recipe is presented as the authoritative quant map; and the test file for an examples/kimi/ script lives under tests/examples/hf_ptq/. Size (1765 lines, one 1170-line script) is on the large side — splitting the nvfp4_tensor.py short-circuit fix + its unit test from the example would make both easier to land. Licensing: standard NVIDIA Apache-2.0 headers only, no third-party code.

Bot comment.
w1/w3 do not share scale_2 on the non-cast path.
else:
bf16 = _dequantize_mxfp4_to_bf16(w, s, device)
weight_scale_2 = (bf16.abs().max().float() / (E2M1_MAX * E4M3_MAX)).reshape(())w13_kmax is only built if cast, so with --cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4 off every projection gets its own per-tensor weight_scale_2. The module docstring ("w1/w3 feed one fused GEMM1 and therefore must share a single scale_2") and the new hard failure in _build_w13_kmax_overrides both assert the opposite invariant, so the default flag combination silently produces the exact checkpoint the cast path refuses to emit. examples/deepseek/deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.py handles this with _build_w13_weight_amax_overrides (shared torch.maximum amax per pair).
Either share the amax across the pair here as DS-V4 does, or drop the non-cast branch entirely if the only supported entry point is the recipe (which always sets cast=True). Whichever way, the existing test_convert_shard_casts_experts_and_quantizes_attention assertion on equal weight_scale_2 should be mirrored for cast=False — right now no test exercises that branch at all.

Addressed in 575c27a. I kept the non-cast path supported and now build a shared w1/w3 weight amax with the common pair helper before requantization, so both projections receive the same weight_scale_2 while w2 remains independent. test_convert_shard_requantizes_w1_w3_with_shared_scale exercises cast=False end to end and checks that invariant.

Bot comment.
Duplication with the DeepSeek-V4 converter.
_dequantize_mxfp4_to_bf16, _kmax_from_mxfp4_scale, _build_w13_kmax_overrides, _quantize_weight_nvfp4_lossless, _link_or_copy/_hard_link_aux, _validate_paths, _prepare_output_dir and _log are near-verbatim copies of examples/deepseek/deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.py, down to the docstrings and the w1/w3 fused-GEMM1 rationale. Only the tensor-name regexes, the attention policy and the manifest/alias logic are genuinely Kimi-specific.
numeric_utils already exists precisely because the GPT-OSS and DS-V4 casts shared math; the shard-streaming/aux-linking/index-rewrite skeleton is the next obvious extraction (an examples/_mxfp4_cast_utils.py or similar). Please either factor the shared half out in this PR or state in the PR body why a third independent copy is preferable — that's the question @cjluo-nv raised above, and the follow-up-PR answer leaves the duplication in main in the meantime.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in 575c27a. I extracted the common MXFP4 dequant/requant and closed-form cast numerics, w1/w3 pair-scale helpers, path validation/output preparation, progress logging, and recursive auxiliary-file linking into examples/_shard_cast_utils.py; both the DS-V4 and Kimi converters now use that module. I kept the shard/index rewrite portions model-specific because DS-V4 consumes calibrated amax and explicit index deltas, while Kimi handles multiple attention formats plus partial/distributed shard reports and total-size reconstruction. I also added coverage for the shared auxiliary-file filtering.

Bot comment.
_conversion_settings_from_recipe validates the routed-expert and attention entries it knows about and derives five settings, but everything else in the recipe (base_disable_all, default_disabled_quantizers, the algorithm block, any future entry) is ignored. So a recipe edit that, say, enables *shared_experts*weight_quantizer would pass validation and be silently dropped by the converter while modelopt_recipes/ptq.md advertises the YAML as the checkpoint's quant map.
Consider asserting that no quantizer entry outside the known set is enabled, so recipe drift fails loudly instead of producing a checkpoint that doesn't match the recipe.

In supported Python versions, the behavior regarding symbolic links depends on the specific function and platform: os.link(src, dst) The follow_symlinks parameter defaults to True [1][2]. However, on POSIX-compliant systems, the underlying operating system call typically does not follow symbolic links, meaning that even with follow_symlinks=True, the function often creates a hard link to the symlink itself rather than the target file [3][4]. Recent updates to Python (starting with versions like 3.14) have improved consistency by attempting to utilize the linkat system call where available to better manage this behavior [5][6]. On Windows, the default behavior and support for follow_symlinks differ; for instance, it may raise an error if follow_symlinks=True is explicitly passed [5][6][4]. shutil.copy2(src, dst) The follow_symlinks parameter defaults to True [7][8]. When follow_symlinks is True, shutil.copy2 follows the symbolic link and copies the content and metadata of the target file to the destination [7][8]. If follow_symlinks is set to False, shutil.copy2 creates a new symbolic link at the destination instead of copying the target file's contents, and it attempts to copy the metadata of the symbolic link itself [7][8].

Reject symlinked auxiliary files in link_aux_files.
shutil.copy2() follows source symlinks by default. A sidecar symlink can therefore copy a readable host file outside source_ckpt into output_ckpt. Reject symlinks and non-regular files before calling link_or_copy.

Type of change: new example
Adds the calibration-free conversion pipeline and checkpoint-mirror PTQ recipe used for
nvidia/Kimi-K3-NVFP4:input_scale=1.0;lm_head, and KV cache unquantized;modelopt_recipes/huggingface/models/moonshotai/Kimi-K3/that directly configures the streaming converter.It also fixes
NVFP4QTensor.quantize()probing CUDA/Blackwell capability before checking whether the tensor is on CUDA and whether the optional TensorRT-LLM fast path was requested. That probe broke the converter's supported CPU path on hosts without a compatible GPU.Usage
