📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughHF checkpoint export now resolves declared tied weights by name. Tied modules pack independently, then duplicate keys are removed during state-dict postprocessing. Storage identity remains a fallback for undeclared shared tensors. Tests cover dense ties, fused experts, offload, and FSDP2. ChangesTied-weight export
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The export now uses name-based tied-weight removal for newer Transformers while retaining an address-based fallback for older versions. Older-version exports may still choose the alias key instead of the canonical key, and tied MoE containers may temporarily require significantly more resident memory, creating compatibility and memory-pressure risks for some checkpoints; mergeable with explicit owner awareness.

torch.equalforces one CPU-GPU sync per tied key.
torch.equalreturns a Pythonbool, so each call synchronizes when the tensors are on GPU. On the resident pathquantized_state_dictcomes frommodel.state_dict(), which keeps CUDA tensors for a non-FSDP model. A fully tied fused-MoE container expands to one member per expert per projection per companion suffix, so this loop performs thousands of syncs and full elementwise comparisons over every tied byte.Consider comparing on CPU after the state dict is offloaded, or reducing the validation to a cheaper invariant (shape, dtype, and a sampled or hashed comparison) with the full compare kept behind a debug flag.

| - Fix tied-weight deduplication during HF checkpoint export. The previous ``data_ptr()``-keyed dedup misfired -- a recycled address can falsely alias unrelated weights, and the FSDP gather / offload materializes tied weights at distinct addresses so a genuine tie is missed. The tie map is now sourced from HuggingFace's name-based ``model.all_tied_weights_keys`` (transformers>=5.0), which survives FSDP shard / offload; the duplicate is dropped by name in ``postprocess_state_dict``, guarded by a ``torch.equal`` check. A ``data_ptr`` backstop is retained for undeclared same-storage shares (and for transformers<5.0, which lacks the map). |

We're not changing the unified_export_hf_streaming behavior at all, this just let's the author know that the tied_weight_map approach could be extended to streaming as well. No behavior change to the streaming path.
Perhaps we add assertion/ more details when we adopt it here?

…ect)
Replace the data_ptr-based tied-weight dedup in the unified HF export with a
name-based scheme driven by the model's own _tied_weights_keys /
tie_word_embeddings declarations. Address identity misfires in several ways: a
freed address recycled by the allocator can falsely alias two unrelated
weights, and the FSDP full-state-dict gather (and offload) materializes tied
weights at distinct addresses so a genuine tie is missed and both copies are
written. Names are stable across packing, FSDP resharding, and offload -- this
implements the TODO already noted on ExportContext.
- Add TiedGroupResolver (model_utils): builds {alias -> canonical} from
dict-style _tied_weights_keys (with per-layer regex backreferences and the
container-level fused-experts tie) plus tie_word_embeddings. Enumerates
named_parameters(remove_duplicate=False) so a genuinely shared Parameter is
seen under both names even when the canonical side is registered first.
- postprocess_state_dict is the authoritative dedup: drop each declared alias
key whose canonical is present (address-independent -> correct under the FSDP
gather / offload). A (device, data_ptr, size) pass is kept as a backstop for
undeclared/coincidental shares; deletion is idempotent.
- One resolver is built per export and threaded through sync_tied_input_amax
(name-based grouping), the ExportContext MoE cache, and postprocess.
- sync_tied_input_amax still runs before packing: the tied group collapses to
one retained weight whose single input_scale must cover every side's range.
- Remove the per-module dense tied cache: both sides pack identically (sync
equalizes scales) and the duplicate is dropped by name; the fused-MoE cache
is retained as a resident-path compute/memory optimization, keyed by the
name-based container group key and disabled under has_non_resident_weights
(FSDP2 / offload), as before.
On-disk output is unchanged for every declared tie and untied model; only the
memory-identity heuristic is replaced. The streaming offload path already
deduped by _tied_weights_keys and is unaffected.

…mma)
DiffusionGemma declares ties as {alias_regex: canonical_regex} where the value
is a second regex structurally identical to the alias except for a leading
literal head (e.g. "encoder.language_model.layers\.(?:[^.]+\.)*gate_up_proj" ->
"decoder.layers\.(?:[^.]+\.)*gate_up_proj"), NOT a re.sub backreference template.
_build_tied_alias_map treated the value as a re.sub replacement, emitting the raw
pattern string as the "canonical" name; that name never exists in the state dict,
so postprocess dropped nothing and the encoder experts were written to disk
(under-dedup: ~1536 extra keys on a DiffusionGemma nvfp4_experts_only export).
Add _canonical_via_pattern_pair: when the alias and canonical declarations are
parallel patterns, derive the differing literal head via longest-common-suffix
and swap it, copying the shared trailing structure from the concrete name. The
loop tries this first and falls back to re.sub for genuine backreference
templates (and plain-name canonicals). Regression test covers the exact
DiffusionGemma format, including the post-export per-expert split key rewriting
to the decoder canonical.

…ority) Prefer fewer moving parts and one dedup authority over an in-memory optimization. The moe_tied_cache aliased a tied experts container's already-packed per-expert buffers to skip re-packing the second side. It was never load-bearing for correctness -- postprocess_state_dict's name-based drop yields the exact same on-disk checkpoint with or without it -- and it relied on _alias_per_expert_subtree_from_prior, a delicate hand-rolled routine that rebuilds each expert's weight / weight_scale / weight_scale_2 / input_scale aliases and could silently mis-alias a buffer. Removing it makes both dense and fused-MoE tied weights follow one auditable path: pack each side independently to byte-identical tensors, then drop the duplicate keys by name in postprocess. Fewer variables, a smaller surface for silent corruption, and no residency guard to reason about. On-disk output is unchanged: postprocess drops the same declared-alias keys, so the exported checkpoint is byte-identical (verified on DiffusionGemma -- same 47067 keys and total_size as the with-cache run). Accepted tradeoff (does not affect the stored weights or loading): without the in-memory aliasing a tied experts container is re-packed rather than shared, so during save its experts exist as separate tensors until postprocess drops the keys. This raises peak save memory for tied-MoE and inflates the informational `total_parameters` index field (tied experts counted per-side -- e.g. 25.8B vs 14.4B on DiffusionGemma-26B). The simpler single-authority path is worth that cost. - moe_utils: drop _moe_tied_cache/_tied_group_key params, the fast-path alias+return, the cache register, and _alias_per_expert_subtree_from_prior. - ExportContext: drop the moe_tied_cache field and the has_non_resident_weights guard (nothing left to disable; the name-based postprocess drop is FSDP/offload-safe). container_group_key stays on the resolver -- sync_tied_input_amax still groups amax by it. - Tests: tied fused experts now assert independent storage + byte-identical values (dropped later by name); offload/registry cache tests removed or repointed.

…ionable warning Clarify (comment) that the (device,data_ptr,size) backstop only ever fires for unquantized/unpacked shared weights, which keep the single original shared Parameter and thus two keys on one storage. Quantized tied weights cannot reach it: each side packs into its own fresh Parameter (distinct storage, byte-identical), so they are collapsed by the name-based pass, which is the sole authority for quantized ties. The backstop remains because safetensors save_file raises on any two keys sharing storage, so a residual undeclared share must be collapsed here or the export fails at write time. Make the warning actionable: a quantized weight reaching the backstop means its tie was not declared in _tied_weights_keys / tie_word_embeddings and was missed by the name-based dedup.

…drop, id sync) Follow-up to the name-based tied-weight dedup, addressing cjluo-nv review: - _build_tied_alias_map now confirms a declared dict-style tie is actually applied (alias and canonical resolve to the SAME live Parameter) before trusting it. A class-level _tied_weights_keys dict is declared regardless of config (e.g. lm_head<->embed_tokens with tie_word_embeddings=False), so a name-only match would drop an independent weight. Object identity is safe here: the map is built pre-packing while all params are resident, so no freed-then-reused address can forge a match (unlike data_ptr). - postprocess_state_dict drops an alias's keys atomically per module prefix: only when EVERY key has a canonical counterpart present, else keep all. Fixes orphaned weight_scale/input_scale when tied sides have mismatched quant state, and stops an untied sibling under an alias prefix from being dropped. - sync_tied_input_amax gains an id(weight) fallback so undeclared physical shares (which the address backstop still collapses) get their input amaxes max-merged too, avoiding silent activation clipping on the surviving side. - _canonical_via_pattern_pair validates its rewrite with re.fullmatch and falls back to re.sub when the common-suffix split lands mid-token. - Drop the dead ExportContext.resolver field: no handler read it; the driver owns the one resolver and feeds it to sync_tied_input_amax / postprocess_state_dict. Removes an avoidable per-context alias-map build. - Type-annotate resolver params via TYPE_CHECKING import.

…ode cleanup) - postprocess_state_dict address backstop keys on safetensors' own shared-storage identity (device, storage_ptr, storage_size) instead of tensor extent. A base tensor and a shorter view share storage and safetensors save_file rejects them, but the numel*element_size key split them into two ids so both survived and the export crashed at write time. Two distinct live tensors cannot share a data_ptr without sharing storage, so storage identity never false-collapses independents. - TiedGroupResolver.container_group_key returns None when the resolved canonical does not end in the projection suffix (removesuffix would otherwise be a silent no-op, mis-grouping tied containers and skipping the amax merge). - Remove _reorder_canonical_first + _collect_canonical_tied_patterns and their call site: a no-op under the name-based drop (which keeps the canonical regardless of iteration order) and a second parser of _tied_weights_keys that could drift from _build_tied_alias_map. Finishes the single-dedup-authority consolidation. - Hoist TiedGroupResolver import in quant_utils to module level (model_utils has no local imports, so no cycle) and drop the function-level import. - Remove has_non_resident_weights (zero callers after the cache removal). - Document that the streaming exporter keeps its own tie_word_embeddings-gated, exact-name tie-drop and does not dedup dict-style / MoE ties (follow-up tracked). 112 unit tests pass.

Simplify the tied-weight path (inspired by the id-grouping in PR #2151) while keeping both safety properties the identity-only approach lacks: declared-only drop and the shared-storage backstop. - _build_tied_alias_map now detects ties by shared object identity: group params by id(parameter) pre-pack (resident), and use _tied_weights_keys / tie_word_embeddings ONLY to label which member of a shared group is canonical. The canonical-side regex is never parsed. Delete _canonical_via_pattern_pair. id is observed once at build time and recorded as NAMES; names survive packing / FSDP gather / offload, so the drop (in postprocess) never needs the packed tensors to still be the same object -- which they aren't. - Several guards become impossible and are removed: the declared-but-unapplied is-gate and the re.fullmatch check (with the regex derivation), the container_group_key removesuffix fail-safe, and the postprocess bidirectional guard (chains can't form when ties are id-groups). - Keep declared-only drop (undeclared shares are not ours to drop) and the storage-identity backstop; postprocess / sync logic otherwise unchanged. - Rename TiedGroupResolver -> TiedWeightMap: a thin immutable view over the id-derived {alias: canonical} map, no longer a regex resolver. - Condense the docstrings/comments added across the review rounds. Net ~120 fewer lines. 112 unit tests pass; DiffusionGemma (47067 tensors, 0 leaked encoder-expert keys) and MiniMax (191211 tensors, 15872/15872 experts) exports verified unchanged on HSG.

Address the latest cjluo-nv review.
- (bug) postprocess no longer rewrites by module PREFIX, which swept up untied
siblings sharing the prefix -- an independent bias next to a tied weight, or an
untied projection of a partially-tied experts container -- when a canonical twin
happened to exist (NVBug 6525352's failure class, reached by name). Now each
{alias: canonical} tie expands to the tied parameter's OWN exported keys: for a
dense .weight tie, weight + weight_scale/weight_scale_2/input_scale; for a fused
MoE container, the per-expert keys only when the container is FULLY tied (a
gate/up projection AND down_proj declared). Atomic drop unchanged. Removes the
now-unused alias_prefix_pairs / matched_alias_prefix / canonical_state_dict_key.
Regression tests: tied weight + independent bias -> bias survives; partially-tied
container -> untied projection survives.
- Hoist `from safetensors.torch import storage_ptr, storage_size` to module top.
- Detection rests on id(parameter) read at export time, which under FSDP2 may be
after fully_shard has split a tied param into distinct sharded objects (id-group
never forms -> silent under-dedup). Add a scoped warning: when a declared alias
did not form a shared id-group AND the model is FSDP2/offloaded, warn. Test both
directions (quiet off FSDP, warns under it).

A dense tie dropped weight + weight_scale* + input_scale but orphaned `<alias>.pre_quant_scale`. Add it to the tuple, and warn after a dense drop if a non-`bias` key still remains under the alias prefix, so a future un-enumerated companion surfaces instead of silently leaking. - (1230, bug) the storage backstop keyed on (device, storage_ptr, storage_size) matched safetensors' grouping but not its action: it DROPPED all-but-first, which loses data for two DISTINCT views of one storage (e.g. unquantized fused-expert slices at different offsets). Now it drops only a genuine duplicate (same data_ptr/shape/stride/offset/dtype) and CLONES a distinct view to break the share -- mirroring safetensors' save_model (no crash, no data loss). Tests: distinct views cloned, non-overlapping slices both kept, true duplicate dropped. - (244) hoist the FSDP2-warning imports in model_utils and the defaultdict import in sync_tied_input_amax to module top (no cycle).

Per human review, revert the address backstop to the original value.data_ptr() drop-on-collision pass rather than the storage-key/clone variant. It now runs after the name-based drop is applied, on the reduced dict, so it is byte-for-byte the pre-existing postprocess dedup -- declared ties are handled by name and never reach it. 6525352 is fixed by the tied_cache removal + name drop, not by this pass. Keeps pre_quant_scale + the leftover-companion warning (name pass). Tests updated to the raw-data_ptr behavior. No change for fully quantized exports (dormant).

Tests: FSDP2 (GPU) and offload (CPU) prove the id-group is lost post-wrap and the pre-capture map still resolves the tie.

Merge the two negative tied-alias-map cases (list-style + unapplied-tie) into one, merge the two offload characterization tests into the Option B contract test, and drop test_postprocess_backstop_drops_true_duplicate (a strict subset of ..._collapses_keys_sharing_a_dataptr). No coverage lost. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Juhi Mittal <juhim@nvidia.com>
Compress the multi-line rationale comments in model_utils/quant_utils/unified_export_hf and collapse the per-test docstrings to one line each. No code or behavior change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Juhi Mittal <juhim@nvidia.com>
Replace id-based tied-weight detection with HF's own resolved map: TiedWeightMap reads
model.all_tied_weights_keys (transformers >=5.0) -- a name-based {alias: canonical} map,
config-gated and torch.equal-pruned by HF, covering dense + MoE ties. Being names (not
id/data_ptr), it survives FSDP shard / offload with no pre-shard capture.
- TiedWeightMap <- all_tied_weights_keys; resident output identical to the old id-map.
- Remove id-based _build_tied_alias_map (no production callers) + its unused imports.
- Remove Option B (build_tied_weight_map, export tied_map= kwarg, hf_ptq wiring): the map
is read automatically at export.
- Add a torch.equal drop-safety check: raise if two declared-tied sides export different
bytes (asymmetric quant) rather than silently corrupt (mirrors HF's decline-to-tie).
- Streaming/offload path left as a documented TODO (needs offload-specific validation).
Verified: DiffGemma 0 leaked + MiniMax 15872 experts kept (HSG smoke); GPU FSDP test
(map survives fully_shard); resident map identical to the id-based build.

… API
Per review: tied_map is built from model.all_tied_weights_keys, so add a test that exercises
the real transformers API directly (a from_config Llama with tie_word_embeddings) and asserts
the {alias: canonical} shape we depend on -- so a transformers version change fails loud here
instead of silently skipping tied-weight dedup.

- Fused-MoE dedup: key alias_groups by the full (alias->canonical) pair, so one alias container whose projections tie to different canonical containers no longer overwrites itself. - Guard the all_tied_weights_keys contract test with importorskip(minversion=5.0) so the transformers<5.0 / no-transformers CI jobs skip it instead of failing. - TiedWeightMap: drop self-entries (alias == canonical) so a target==source pair can't schedule the kept canonical for deletion; warn when all_tied_weights_keys is absent (<5.0). - Remove the vacuous bidirectional-tie test (asserted empty-map, not bidi handling). - CHANGELOG: rewrite the tied-weight entry to the HF-native map (was stale/id-based), shorten.

- CHANGELOG: rewrite at a high level (impact + affected model), drop internals. - model_utils: broaden the missing-map warning to any declared tie (_tied_weights_keys), and reword it to be user-facing (what happens + how to fix). - quant_utils: add the identity fallback to the fused-MoE amax grouping, symmetric with the dense branch, so an undeclared shared projection still gets its amaxes merged. - hf_export_handlers: drop the comment describing prior pack-time behavior.

Type of change: Bug fix / robustness
Fixes NVBug 6525352 — MiniMax-M2.7
nvfp4_mlp_only-kv_fp8failed at TensorRT-LLM load withassert w1_weight is not None and w3_weight is not None, because the previousdata_ptr()-only postprocess dedup could falselydrop an independent MoE expert weight.
Rework tied-weight dedup during unified HF checkpoint export so it no longer depends on tensor
addresses. The tie map is now sourced from HuggingFace's name-based
model.all_tied_weights_keys(transformers >= 5.0), and the duplicate is dropped by name onthe final state dict — so the drop never depends on the packed tensors still being the same object.
Why the old
data_ptr()approach was wrong — it read the tie signal at the wrong time.The new flow — take HF's own name-based tie map and carry it through export.
Design in words.
model.all_tied_weights_keys(transformers >= 5.0) is a{target: source}=={alias: canonical}dict, resolved atpost_init, gated onconfig.tie_word_embeddings, andtorch.equal-pruned duringfrom_pretrained. Because it isnames, it survives packing / FSDP shard / offload — where a
data_ptrwould not. No pre-packid()capture, no self-built map.postprocess_state_dict, atomically per module prefix (all of analias's exported keys, or none, and only when every key has a canonical counterpart) — so tied
sides with different quant state never orphan a
weight_scale/input_scale, and an untiedsibling under an alias prefix is never dropped. A
torch.equalcheck guards each drop.data_ptrsurvives only as a backstop, keyed on safetensors' own shared-storage identity.It collapses undeclared same-storage shares that
save_filewould otherwise reject, and is thenet for transformers < 5.0 (no
all_tied_weights_keys).address backstop (resident export only). Upgrade to >= 5.0 for name-based dedup under FSDP/offload.
What changed
TiedWeightMap(model_utils.py) now readsall_tied_weights_keys; removed the id-based_build_tied_alias_map/ self-built map path (net −200 lines across the export utils).postprocess_state_dict(quant_utils.py): name-based atomic drop +torch.equalguard; MoEalias-group keying fixed so one alias container tying to two canonicals no longer collides.
TiedWeightMap(model)unconditionally; FSDP path gathers viaget_model_state_dict(full_state_dict=True)before the name-based drop.importorskip transformers>=5.0), self-entry filter, MoEtwo-canonical collision, FSDP2 shard-survival + end-to-end FSDP export (embedding + cross-layer
tie). Removed the id-map unit tests.
Testing
all_tied_weights_keys): empty map, backstop handles it;15872 experts exported, no false drop (original NVBug repro now passes).
