📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds non-mutating NVFP4 quantized-weight export utilities, integrates them into Hugging Face export, centralizes quantization configuration assembly, preserves tied-weight aliases, and prevents grouped quantizer calibration state from being reset. ChangesNVFP4 export and quantization handling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new export API can fail for some pure NVFP4 modules and may produce deployment metadata that differs from terminal export, which could break in-process refit or downstream deployment consumers. The PR should not be considered merge-ready until these bounded compatibility issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
build_hf_quantization_config cannot express KV-cache quantization.
The function calls build_quant_config(layer_config) without a kv_cache_format, so the produced descriptor always reports kv_cache_quant_algo as none. get_quant_config in modelopt/torch/export/quant_utils.py passes the detected format. A refit caller whose model uses FP8 or NVFP4 KV cache therefore gets a descriptor that disagrees with terminal export. Accept the KV-cache format as a parameter and forward it.
🐛 Proposed fix to forward the KV-cache format

Keep unsupported modules on the legacy or fused-expert export path.
capture_quantized_weight_export_state rejects non-scalar weight or input _amax values. The pure-export gate does not check these conditions, so export raises instead of reaching the legacy NVFP4 path.
GroupedQuantizer stores per-member amax values, but the capture helper receives the container. Plural fused-expert layouts also lack the singular <weight>_weight_quantizer attribute and fail during direct lookup. Add compatible quantizer resolution and fall through when capture is unsupported.

Summary
This API is intended for in-process refit users such as Megatron-Bridge and NeMo-RL. It keeps the training model unchanged while producing the same canonical weight, scale, and input-scale tensors as terminal export.
