…uantizer A quant_cfg whose module patterns do not match the model is not an error to `set_quantizer_by_cfg` — every pattern simply matches nothing — so the run calibrates, exports, and hands back a checkpoint with `"quant_algo": null` and an empty `quantized_layers`. Nothing in the run says so; it has only ever been caught by someone reading the exported `hf_quant_config.json` afterwards, and it has now bitten several MoE architectures whose module naming differs from the wildcards in the general recipes. `mtq.quantize` now checks the config's own intent against the outcome and raises before calibration when a config asks for weight quantization but none of its weight-quantizer patterns match anything in the model. Configs that quantize only activations or the KV cache declare no weight intent and are unaffected, as are weight patterns that match and are then switched off by a later entry (a deliberate choice, not a mismatch), and configs refining a model that already has weight quantizers enabled.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new fail-fast behavior can incorrectly reject configurations that intentionally disable an earlier weight-quantization pattern, preventing otherwise valid runs from starting.

179-183: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd coverage for the already-quantized model path.
The branch at Line 182 preserves enabled weight quantizers from an earlier
mtq.quantizecall. The added tests do not exercise this required compatibility path. Quantize once with a valid weight config, then apply an unmatched weight config and assert that the call succeeds and the existing weight quantizers remain enabled.As per path instructions, “Add lean pytest coverage for the real quantize path.”

ordered quant_cfg entries use the final override for each quantizer pattern; a
later disabled entry must remove an earlier enabled unmatched pattern from
weight_entries. Ensure the unmatched-pattern validation and existing quantizer
checks operate on these effective entries, and add a test covering an enabled
missing wildcard followed by a disabled override.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Honor ordered quant_cfg overrides before validation.
Line 163 retains an enabled entry even when a later entry disables the same unmatched wildcard. For example, an enabled *.missing.*weight_quantizer entry followed by {"quantizer_name": "*.missing.*weight_quantizer", "enable": False} raises at Line 186, although the final configuration requests no weight quantization.
Resolve entry precedence before deriving unmatched active weight patterns. Add this disabled-unmatched case to the tests.

A
quant_cfgwhose module patterns don't match the model is not an error toset_quantizer_by_cfg— every pattern simply matches nothing. The run then calibrates, exports, and hands back a checkpoint that is silently unquantized:{"quantization": {"quant_algo": null, "kv_cache_quant_algo": "FP8", "quantized_layers": {}}}Nothing in the run says so. It has only ever been caught by someone reading the exported
hf_quant_config.jsonafterwards — most recently on Step-3.7 (NVBug 6518665, after a full 8×B200 calibration), and before that on MiniMax-M3, where fused-expert detection skipped the experts and an experts-only recipe matched nothing.mtq.quantizenow compares the config's intent against the outcome and raises before calibration:Scoped to avoid false positives:
enableandweight_quantizerin its pattern), so activation-only and KV-cache-only configs are unaffected.mtq.quantize) are left alone.Usage
No API change. A config that would previously have produced an unquantized checkpoint now raises:
Testing
Three tests in
tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_quantize_cpu.py: patterns matching nothing raise; an activation-only config still runs; weight patterns disabled by a later entry still run (this last one pins the boundary — an earlier, blunter version of the check broketest_enable_only_entry_preserves_attributes).Ran locally (torch 2.11, transformers 5.5.4):
tests/unit/torch/quantization+tests/unit/recipe— 1149 passed, 7 skipped. Fulltests/unit(minus onnx, and puzzletron which needshydra): 2490 passed, with 4 pre-existingtest_quant_aware_conversion.pyfailures that reproduce unchanged on cleanmain.Before your PR is "Ready for review"
quant_algo: nullcheckpoint now raises. Any such run was already not doing what it claimed; the three scoping rules above keep intentional non-weight quantization working.CONTRIBUTING.md: N/AAdditional Information
Pairs with #2202 (PTQ support for Step-3.7 MoE checkpoints), which fixes the specific model that motivated this. Independent branches; either can merge first.
