[None][fix] Fix Qwen3.8-27B NVFP4 checkpoint loading - #18387
Conversation
Signed-off-by: Chenshu Zhu <chenshu@stanford.edu>
WalkthroughQwen3.5 dense NVFP4 path normalization now preserves native NVFP4 behavior and applies platform-specific W4A16-NVFP4 promotion. QwenImageBenchModel uses the wrapped language model configuration for weight mapping. Tests and deployment documentation cover these changes. ChangesQwen3.5 support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR fixes Qwen3.8 NVFP4 checkpoint loading and corrects the QwenImageBench configuration used during model loading. It is mergeable with owner awareness, but the deployment guide currently describes the dense checkpoint as sharing the MoE architecture, which could lead users to apply incompatible settings.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Scope the MoE description to the MoE checkpoints.
The paragraph says that all listed models use the qwen3_5_moe_text decoder and have 512 routed experts with top-10 routing. That is false for Qwen3.8-27B dense, which uses Qwen3_5ForCausalLM and has no experts. This can direct users to incompatible MoE deployment settings.
Update the surrounding introduction so that the shared architecture statement applies only to the two MoE checkpoints. Also update the opening sentence to include the dense checkpoint.
Proposed wording

Register the added regression tests in the standard test lists.
The new QwenImageBench mapper test and the Qwen3.5/Qwen3.8 configuration tests are not listed in the corresponding tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ and qa/ files. Add the tests to the appropriate entries so they run in the standard CI and QA suites.

RadixArk/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4andInferact/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4fail to load with the PyTorch backend because its nativeNVFP4dense-MLP quantization entries retain Hugging Face module paths that do not match the nested TensorRT-LLM dense-MLP layout. The QwenImageBench wrapper also initializes the text weight mapper with the outer multimodal config instead of the normalized inner language-model config, causing an incorrect LM-head loading decision.This PR:
NVFP4dense-MLP paths in the same way as the existingW4A16_NVFP4path;W4A16_NVFP4behavior is preserved and FP8 paths remain unchanged;The production changes are limited to Qwen3.5/Qwen3.8 model loading. There are no public API or dependency changes and no expected steady-state performance impact. Native NVFP4 execution still requires hardware supported by the selected TensorRT-LLM NVFP4 backend.
