What does this PR do?

Type of change: New feature

A distributed load that materializes the whole model on every rank and then discards most of it costs world × the memory and I/O. These helpers let a loader build the model on meta and fill only what each rank keeps. They live in modelopt.torch.utils.plugins.model_load_utils, with the loaders they serve.

  • _meta_dcp_load materializes the params its caller names (load_names) on the rank's device and fills them from the Hugging Face safetensors through torch DCP's HuggingFaceStorageReader; every other param is left as it was. DCP reads a full tensor into a plain param and only the local slice into a Shard DTensor, so the FSDP2-dense + expert-parallel hybrid ([10/21]), which fully_shards only the dense modules, loads each rank's dense shard with no full-model copy. It takes only what that loader, its one caller, needs.
  • _map_ckpt_keys_to_model maps each checkpoint key to the state-dict key it feeds, as from_pretrained resolves it: exact match, then the model's _checkpoint_conversion_mapping, then the longest unique trailing-component match for transformers 5's VLM prefix nesting. Each model key takes at most one checkpoint key, and uniqueness is judged against the whole model. Otherwise a key the model has no slot for, such as DeepSeek-V3's MTP model.layers.61.shared_head.norm.weight, would land on model.norm.weight and overwrite it.
  • A param already loaded beside a meta one survives materialization. to_empty re-empties every direct param of a module, and nothing outside the load's names would refill, say, a router's e_score_correction_bias next to its meta gate weight.
  • A parameter the load empties and then neither fills, keeps, nor re-ties fails the load, naming it, rather than being left as uninitialized memory. Tying keeps the checkpoint's values whichever alias it stored: a tied checkpoint may store only lm_head.weight. The numel-weighted guard still stops a load whose key scheme went unresolved before it starts.

Usage

Internal to the loader in [10/21]; nothing to call directly.

Testing

  • New tests/unit/torch/utils/test_meta_dcp_load.py (21 cases). The loads run for real on CPU through DCP, into tiny Llama and Qwen2.5-VL models. They cover:
    • every mapping pass, plus the cases that must stay unmapped (ambiguous suffixes, MTP and truncated-model keys, two claimants for one key);
    • buffers kept and the head re-tied;
    • load_names loading only its names and keeping a real param beside a meta one;
    • the numel-weighted coverage guard, and an untied parameter the checkpoint lacks failing the load;
    • a tie keeping the stored values whichever alias the checkpoint holds;
    • the layout [10/21] loads, under a one-rank gloo group: the decoder layers' FSDP2-sharded params filled in place with their local slices, the root's left plain.
  • Each fix's regression tests fail on the code before it.
  • The key-mapping tests are one parametrized table; tests a real load already covers, and two that only pinned message wording, are dropped. Each drop is checked by mutation.
  • Locally on this revision, the reordered series rebased on main 264fd26: the full unit suite on transformers 5.18, and on 5.5 apart from the tests whose ONNX, TensorRT or diffusers packages that environment lacks; CI's transformers-free unit lane; pre-commit over the whole PR against main; and the Sphinx docs build. The same at every PR of the stack.
  • The GPU results here were measured on earlier revisions of this branch; this revision's GPU tests run in CI only.
  • On GPUs: the Kimi-K3 run with its dense part sharded (64 ranks, see [21/21]) checks the router correction biases against the checkpoint.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Checkpoints can be loaded into models initialized without materialized parameters, with checkpoint names matched to model parameters where possible.
    • Existing parameters and buffers are preserved during loading, and compatible tied weights are restored from available checkpoint values.
    • Loading reports empty checkpoints and insufficient parameter matches, and warns when persistent buffers are loaded.
    • Checkpoint loading follows a deterministic order for consistent results.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds checkpoint-key mapping and a DCP loading path for meta models. The loader selectively materializes model state, checks parameter coverage, preserves existing values, and handles tied parameters and persistent buffers.

Changes: Meta-model DCP loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkpoint key mapping
modelopt/torch/utils/plugins/model_load_utils.py, tests/unit/torch/utils/test_meta_dcp_load.py
Checkpoint keys map by exact match, conversion patterns, then unique component suffix. Tests cover precedence, ambiguity, collisions, and unmapped keys.
Selective DCP loading
modelopt/torch/utils/plugins/model_load_utils.py, tests/unit/torch/utils/test_meta_dcp_load.py
The loader preserves existing parameters and buffers while loading mapped state through DCP. It rejects empty checkpoints and insufficient parameter coverage, warns on rank 0 for persistent-buffer loads, and preserves deterministic request ordering. Tests cover state retention, missing parameters, FSDP2, buffers, and load ordering.
Tied parameter handling
modelopt/torch/utils/plugins/model_load_utils.py, tests/unit/torch/utils/test_meta_dcp_load.py
Loaded values are copied after weight tying when shapes and DTensor layouts match. Incompatible layouts or shapes raise RuntimeError.

437-471: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Run the FSDP2 DCP test with multiple ranks.

gloo_world_of_one and init_device_mesh("cpu", (1,)) make every local shard equal the full tensor. The full_tensor() assertions therefore cannot detect an incorrect per-rank checkpoint slice. Run this case with the existing cpu_dist_workers fixture at world size 2 and assert each rank’s to_local() values against its expected checkpoint slice. The existing GPU tests cover parallel_load_and_prepare_fsdp2, not _meta_dcp_load.

A distributed load that materializes the whole model on every rank and then
throws most of it away costs world x the memory and I/O. These helpers let a
loader build the model on meta and fill only what each rank keeps.

_meta_dcp_load materializes each rank's params on its device and fills them
from the HF safetensors through torch DCP's HuggingFaceStorageReader.
Placement is decided entirely by the caller: dcp.load reads a full tensor into
a plain (replicated) param and only the local slice into a Shard DTensor, so
leaving the model as is, fully_shard-ing all of it, or fully_shard-ing only the
dense modules gives replicated, sharded, or the FSDP-dense + EP-expert hybrid
-- with no full-model copy for the sharded cases.

_map_ckpt_keys_to_model maps each checkpoint key to the state_dict key it
feeds, reproducing what from_pretrained resolves: exact match, then the
model's _checkpoint_conversion_mapping, then the longest unique
trailing-component match for the transformers 5 VLM prefix nesting.
_fsdp2_wrap_modules picks the blocks to fully_shard individually from HF's own
_no_split_modules, looking at the language backbone rather than a VLM wrapper
that would also list its vision blocks.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
Cover how _map_ckpt_keys_to_model bridges checkpoint names to the built
model's -- exact, declared conversion, unique suffix, which resolves a
VLM's nested prefixes -- which blocks _fsdp2_wrap_modules shards, and what
_meta_dcp_load does: fill a meta model from safetensors through DCP while
keeping its buffers and re-tying its head, load only load_names, guard
coverage by numel, and fill FSDP2-sharded params in place. The loads run
for real on CPU.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
The suffix pass of _map_ckpt_keys_to_model mapped a checkpoint key the
model has no slot for onto any key its suffix named uniquely -- including
one another checkpoint key already named exactly -- and the later mapping
won. DeepSeek-V3's MTP layer does this: model.layers.61.shared_head.norm.weight
lands on model.norm.weight, so a meta-DCP load would fill the final norm
with the MTP head's. A truncated model loading a deeper checkpoint got its
last layer's weights in layer 0. With load_names, uniqueness was judged
among the targets alone, so a per-expert key could claim a dense param;
and when two keys collided, set order, which differs per process, picked
the tensor.

A model key now takes one checkpoint key: no pass maps onto a key an
earlier pass claimed, and two claimants in one pass are both left to the
coverage guard. Uniqueness is judged against the whole model, and the
load keeps only the mappings it fills.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
With load_names, _meta_dcp_load materializes each module that has a meta
param with to_empty(recurse=False), which re-empties every direct param of
that module, and it restored only buffers. A param already loaded beside
a meta one then stayed uninitialized memory: in the expert-parallel dense
load, each MoE router's e_score_correction_bias (a parameter in Kimi's and
DeepSeek-V3's remote code) sits next to the gate weight forced to meta,
and nothing outside load_names refills it. Snapshot such params and
restore them after materializing, as for buffers.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
Loading each rank's checkpoint shard into a meta-built model is a model
load; it moves from distributed.py to model_load_utils with the other
loaders, together with the key mapping and the FSDP2 wrap boundaries it
works with.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
The load tolerated up to half the target weight missing and returned the
model with whatever it lacked still holding the memory to_empty handed
out. Only tied weights are refilled after the load; an untied param with
no checkpoint tensor stayed garbage while the load reported success.

The load now fails, naming them, for every re-emptied target param that
no checkpoint tensor filled and tie_weights did not tie to a loaded one.
Params that already had values -- restored beside a meta one, or in a
module the load leaves alone -- keep them. The numel guard stays as the
check that fails before the load, and its advice names the knob that
exists (MODELOPT_FSDP_SIZE=1) instead of two removed ones.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
A tied checkpoint may store only lm_head.weight. The load filled the head,
then tie_weights replaced it with the embedding's empty param, and the
strict check, reading the params after the tie, counted that param as
loaded: both tied weights came back uninitialized. The params the
checkpoint filled are now taken before tying, and a kept param tying left
unfilled takes its filled alias's values, as from_pretrained leaves it.
The copy is local, for plain tensors and alike-sharded DTensors; any other
layout is refused.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
_copy_tied_values refuses a tied pair it would have to redistribute: a DTensor
against a plain tensor, DTensors placed differently or on different meshes, or
mismatched shapes. No test reached that branch, so a version accepting every
pair passed. Each layout now raises, and the kept param keeps what it held.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
The only caller this series gives _meta_dcp_load, the EP hybrid's dense
load, names the dense params it loads and shards only the decoder
layers. Nothing passes skip_names or max_unloaded_frac, and nothing
leaves load_names out to load the whole model, the mode a root-sharded
FSDP2 layout needed. load_names is now required, and the loader keeps
only the module-by-module materialization that load takes.

The tests name what each load fills, and the FSDP2 fill test shards the
layers alone, as the EP hybrid does.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
_fsdp2_wrap_modules picks the blocks FSDP2 shards, and the EP hybrid's
dense sharding, later in this series, is its only caller. Nothing here
calls it, so it and its tests move to where that sharding lands.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
A buffer can require grad, and copying its saved value back in place
outside no_grad raises for a leaf tensor, or records the copy in
autograd otherwise. The buffers now go back in the same no_grad block as
the params beside them.

Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
Merge the four _map_ckpt_keys_to_model tests that differ only in their
inputs (an exact name first, the first conversion pattern that fires,
an ambiguous or unknown suffix, two names for one slot) into one
parametrized table.

Drop the tests a real load already covers, each checked by breaking the
code it guards:
- the VLM suffix-nesting test: the flat-VLM load and the request-order
  test run the same suffix pass on a real Qwen2.5-VL;
- the never-displace-a-match test: the truncated-model load fails when
  a later pass may take a claimed key;
- the embedding-stored case of the tie test: the load-and-retie test
  loads that layout;
- the real-param-beside-a-meta-one test: the already-real-target and
  load_names tests fail when the restore or the load_names filter goes.

Drop the two tests that only pinned message wording: the no-tensors
message (without its check the coverage guard still refuses the empty
checkpoint) and rank 0's loaded-buffers warning. The messages stay.
