+## INT4 / Compressed-Tensors Quantization Checkpoint Issues
+
+When using INT4-quantized models (e.g., `compressed-tensors` with `W4A16`), the checkpoint's `config.json` contains a `quantization_config.ignore` list that specifies which parameters should **not** be quantized. During online weight updates (Megatron → SGLang), slime also reads this ignore list to decide which parameters to INT4-quantize. An incorrect ignore list can cause silent errors:
+
+1. **MoE router weights (`mlp.gate.weight`) become all zeros**
+
+   The MoE router weight (`mlp.gate.weight`, shape `[num_experts, hidden_size]`) is a plain 2D weight tensor, but it is **not** a Linear layer weight. If it is not in the ignore list, the online quantizer will INT4-quantize it into `weight_packed`, `weight_scale`, `weight_zero_point`, etc. However, SGLang does not expect quantized names for the router, so these parameters are silently skipped during `load_weights`, resulting in all-zero gate weights.
+
+   **Fix**: Ensure `config.json` contains `"re:.*mlp\\.gate\\..*"` in the ignore list.
+
+2. **Other non-Linear 2D weights**
+
+   Similar issues can occur with any 2D `.weight` tensor that is not a true Linear layer, such as `model.embed_tokens.weight`. Always verify the ignore list covers all non-Linear weights.
+
+   **Recommended ignore patterns** (for GLM-style MoE models):
+   ```json
+   "ignore": [
+     "lm_head",
+     "model.embed_tokens.weight",
+     "re:.*self_attn.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.shared_experts.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.gate_up_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.gate_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.up_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.down_proj.*",
+     "re:.*eh_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.gate\\..*"
+   ]
+   ```
+
+3. **Missing safetensors shards**
+
+   Conversion tools may occasionally produce an incomplete checkpoint (e.g., a missing `model-00010-of-00093.safetensors`). After conversion, always verify:
+   - The number of `.safetensors` files matches the expected count.
+   - The `model.safetensors.index.json` contains entries for every layer.
+   - Spot-check that critical layers (e.g., the first MoE layer) have the expected number of keys.
+
+4. **How to diagnose**
+
+   - Use `--check-weight-update-equal` to verify that weights after a Megatron → SGLang sync match the expected values. If a parameter shows all zeros on the SGLang side, it was likely incorrectly quantized or missing from the checkpoint.
+   - Use `--debug-rollout-only` with a small number of GPUs to quickly test whether SGLang can generate coherent text from the quantized checkpoint alone.

 ## Debug sglang illegal memory access (IMA)
 
 When running large scale RL, we will occationally meet the IMA in SGLang, there are some debug suggestions based on our experience:

    开启后，会从 `args.load_debug_rollout_data.format(rollout_id=rollout_id)` 来加载数据，并且不会初始化 sglang（自动设置 `debug_train_only=True`）。可以以这种方式来固定训练部分的输入，对训练部分进行调优，例如切换各种并行。
 
+## INT4 / Compressed-Tensors 量化 Checkpoint 问题
+
+使用 INT4 量化模型（如 `compressed-tensors` 的 `W4A16`）时，checkpoint 的 `config.json` 中有一个 `quantization_config.ignore` 列表，指定哪些参数**不**做量化。在线权重更新（Megatron → SGLang）时，slime 也会读取这个 ignore list 来决定哪些参数需要 INT4 量化。ignore list 不正确会导致静默错误：
+
+1. **MoE 路由权重（`mlp.gate.weight`）变成全零**
+
+   MoE 的路由权重（`mlp.gate.weight`，shape `[num_experts, hidden_size]`）是一个普通的 2D weight tensor，但它**不是** Linear 层的权重。如果它不在 ignore list 中，在线量化器会把它 INT4 量化为 `weight_packed`、`weight_scale`、`weight_zero_point` 等。然而 SGLang 不会以量化名称来加载路由权重，因此这些参数在 `load_weights` 时被静默跳过，导致 gate 权重全零。
+
+   **修复方法**：确保 `config.json` 的 ignore list 中包含 `"re:.*mlp\\.gate\\..*"`。
+
+2. **其他非 Linear 的 2D 权重**
+
+   类似问题可能出现在任何不是真正 Linear 层的 2D `.weight` tensor 上，例如 `model.embed_tokens.weight`。务必检查 ignore list 覆盖了所有非 Linear 权重。
+
+   **推荐的 ignore 配置**（以 GLM 系 MoE 模型为例）：
+   ```json
+   "ignore": [
+     "lm_head",
+     "model.embed_tokens.weight",
+     "re:.*self_attn.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.shared_experts.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.gate_up_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.gate_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.up_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.down_proj.*",
+     "re:.*eh_proj.*",
+     "re:.*mlp\\.gate\\..*"
+   ]
+   ```
+
+3. **safetensors 分片缺失**
+
+   转换工具偶尔可能产出不完整的 checkpoint（例如缺少 `model-00010-of-00093.safetensors`）。转换完成后，务必检查：
+   - `.safetensors` 文件数量是否与预期一致。
+   - `model.safetensors.index.json` 中是否包含所有 layer 的条目。
+   - 抽查关键 layer（如第一个 MoE layer）的 key 数量是否正确。
+
+4. **如何排查**
+
+   - 使用 `--check-weight-update-equal` 验证 Megatron → SGLang 权重同步后的值是否正确。如果某个参数在 SGLang 侧全为零，说明它可能被错误量化或在 checkpoint 中缺失。
+   - 使用 `--debug-rollout-only` 配合少量 GPU，快速测试 SGLang 能否从量化 checkpoint 正常生成文本。
