👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

Summary of Changes

Hello @dsikka, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances vLLM's quantization capabilities by adding comprehensive support for NVFP4 quantization specifically for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. It introduces a new quantization method that handles the unique structure of NVFP4 weights and integrates with optimized Marlin kernels to ensure high-performance inference for these quantized models.

Highlights

  • NVFP4 MoE Support: Introduced CompressedTensorsW4A4MoeMethod to enable support for NVFP4 (NVIDIA FP4) quantized Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, allowing for more efficient inference with these models.
  • Marlin Kernel Integration: Leveraged highly optimized Marlin kernels for the efficient execution of NVFP4 MoE operations, ensuring performance benefits for quantized models.
  • Quantized Weight Handling: Implemented the loading and processing of NVFP4 quantized weights, including packed 4-bit weights (torch.uint8), FP8 block scales (torch.float8_e4m3fn), and FP32 global scales, which are crucial for the new quantization scheme.
  • Dynamic Method Selection: Updated the quantization method selection logic to correctly identify and instantiate the new NVFP4 MoE method based on the detected quantization configuration.

Code Review

The pull request adds support for MoE models with nvfp4 compressed tensors. The changes include modifications to the weight loader in fused_moe/layer.py and the addition of a new class CompressedTensorsW4A4MoeMethod in compressed_tensors_moe.py to handle the new quantization method. There are several blocks of code that are commented out, and a breakpoint that should be removed.
