`is_shared_expert_quant_fse_compatible` currently implements only `QuarkConfig` and `DeepseekV4FP8Config`; every other quantization falls through to a catch-all rejection. Models that load with the plain `Fp8Config` therefore accept `VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_FUSION_SHARED_EXPERTS=1` and then silently run unfused, emitting one warning per MoE layer per rank. Implement the existing TODO for `Fp8Config`. The config carries a single global `weight_block_size` and `activation_scheme`, so routed and shared experts share a quantization config exactly when they are either both quantized or both listed in `ignored_layers`. Skip status is resolved with `is_layer_skipped()` using the config's own `packed_modules_mapping` and `ignored_layers_match_mode`, which is the same call `Fp8Config.get_quant_method()` makes. The branch is restricted to fp8-serialized checkpoints and fails closed on any asymmetry. Signed-off-by: Jin Tao <jin.tao@amd.com> Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Purpose
is_shared_expert_quant_fse_compatible()gates AITER fused shared experts (FSE) behind aquantization compatibility check that currently implements only
QuarkConfigandDeepseekV4FP8Config. Every other quantization falls through to a catch-all rejection:The practical effect is that models loading with the plain
Fp8ConfigacceptVLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_FUSION_SHARED_EXPERTS=1and then silently run unfused. There is no errorand no non-zero exit, only one warning per MoE layer per rank buried in startup logs. On
GLM-5.2-FP8 (78 MoE layers, TP8) that is 600+ near-identical warning lines, and it is easy to
believe the flag took effect when it did not.
This PR implements the TODO that sits directly above the catch-all return:
Fp8Configcarries a single globalweight_block_sizeandactivation_schemewith noper-layer overrides, so the only source of per-layer variation is
ignored_layers. Routed andshared experts therefore share a quantization config exactly when they are either both
quantized or both ignored. Skip status is resolved with
is_layer_skipped()using the config'sown
packed_modules_mappingandignored_layers_match_mode— the same callFp8Config.get_quant_method()makes — so the check asks the quantization layer the question italready asks itself rather than inventing a parallel rule.
The branch fails closed: any asymmetry between the routed and shared experts returns
Falsewith a reason mirroring the existing Quark message. It is also restricted to fp8-serialized
checkpoints, since the online-quantization path has not been exercised. It is placed below the
DeepseekV4FP8Configbranch, which subclassesFp8Configand needs its own MXFP4 handling.Other quantizations (compressed-tensors, GPTQ, AWQ, ModelOpt) still fall through the catch-all
and are unaffected.
Test Plan
Unit:
Seven new cases extend the existing gate tests: uniformly quantized experts, non-expert
exclusions (layernorms,
mlp.gate,lm_head) which must not disable FSE, both expert groupsignored, three asymmetric-exclusion negative controls (shared excluded, routed excluded, one of
two projections excluded), and a non-serialized checkpoint.
End to end,
zai-org/GLM-5.2-FP8, 8x MI325X (gfx942), TP8,vllm bench servewith random131,072 input / 1,024 output, 20 prompts, seed 4, 2 warmups:
Test Result
Unit tests: 7 new cases pass with the change and all 7 fail without it. The 14 pre-existing
non-GPU cases in the same module continue to pass.
End to end the flag now takes effect: the per-layer
cannot be enabledwarning is gone, KVcache size is unchanged at 2,240,512 tokens, AITER block-scale FP8 MoE kernels are selected
(
fmoe_bf16_blockscaleFp8_g1u1_vs_silu_*), and output is correct on arithmetic, factual recalland text completion prompts.
Output token throughput, FSE off vs on:
Latency, FSE off → on:
TTFT improves at every concurrency because prefill always presents the fused grouped GEMM with
a large token batch. TPOT improves at concurrency 4 and above but regresses 7.5% at concurrency
2, where the decode batch is too small to amortize the fused kernel and a dedicated dense GEMM
for the single shared expert wins; there the prefill gain and decode loss roughly cancel. The
crossover lies between concurrency 2 and 4. Concurrency 2 was measured twice on separate days
with a server restart between, agreeing to within 0.05%, so these deltas are signal rather than
noise.
