vh 982c319d9f feat(heretic2-nvfp4): WORKING modelopt NVFP4+MTP seat + full recipe runbook
The fast char-rp-reasoning seat works: ~77 tok/s (vs GGUF ~59.5, base NVFP4 ~53),
MTP draft-acceptance 32-40%, mean acceptance length 2.19. Same Heretic2/NEO-CODE
model, NVFP4 + native qwen3_5_mtp spec-decode.

Full end-to-end recipe + the four landmines in docs/runbooks/heretic2-nvfp4-mtp-seat.md:
(1) load as AutoModelForImageTextToText not AutoModelForCausalLM (namespace/gibberish);
(2) modelopt format not compressed-tensors (compressed-tensors MTP = 0% accept);
(3) modelopt 0.45 <-> transformers 5.12.1 FusedMoE crash (guarded in quant_modelopt.py);
(4) vLLM 0.24.0 does NOT propagate modelopt exclude_modules to the spec-decode draft
model -> BF16 mtp head gets quantized -> shape crash; no checkpoint config fixes it
(is_layer_skipped is exact-membership not glob) -> fix is a mounted sitecustomize that
force-skips mtp.* in is_layer_skipped (upstream vLLM bug to report).

Scripts: quant_modelopt.py (FusedMoE guard + single-shard export + multimodal load),
finalize_modelopt_mtp.py (splice bf16 mtp), serve_modelopt_mtp.sh, run_quant_modelopt.sh,
sitecustomize-mtp-workaround.py.

"""NVFP4-quantize the MTP-grafted Heretic2 model via NVIDIA nvidia-modelopt (MODELOPT format).
Sibling of quant_nvfp4.py (llm-compressor / compressed-tensors) but produces the **modelopt**
NVFP4 format instead. Why it exists: the compressed-tensors path (quant_nvfp4.py) serves COHERENT
but its MTP is 0% acceptance — vLLM's `Qwen3_5MTP` speculative-decode drafter only loads the bf16
MTP head off a **modelopt** main-model checkpoint (the mtp tensors are byte-identical between the
two formats; the difference is purely how the main model's quantized weights/scales are stored).
So working native MTP (the ~2-4x goal) requires this format. (2026-07-14 modelopt pivot.)
Reference = AEON `/tank/aimodels/qwen36-27b-aeon-nvfp4` (served by vllm-aeon-rp). Its
hf_quant_config.json says: quant_algo NVFP4 (W4A4, group_size 16), targets Linear, exclude
`lm_head` + `model.visual*` + every `linear_attn*` (the GDN). This script matches that EXACTLY.
`embed_tokens` is an Embedding (not a Linear target) so it is never quantized — no need to exclude.
Pipeline (unchanged except THIS quant step swaps llm-compressor -> modelopt):
graft_mtp.py -> quant_modelopt.py (this) -> splice_mtp.py (bf16 mtp) -> serve
serve: vllm --quantization modelopt --speculative-config
'{"method":"qwen3_5_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":3}' (AEON vllm-aeon-rp is the ref)
The MTP head is NOT in the module tree at load (transformers builds no mtp module for either
Qwen3_5 class), so the 15 bf16 mtp.* tensors are spliced back AFTER export — same as pantheon/AEON.
Load class is AutoModelForImageTextToText (= Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration) so weight keys are
born `model.language_model.*` + `model.visual.*` — the namespace vLLM's ConditionalGeneration
loader expects. (The compressed-tensors-path gibberish was a text-only-namespace bug; same fix.)
Run in a vLLM container on the freed GPU0 (nvidia-modelopt[hf] per the transformers-compat warning):
docker run --gpus '"device=0"' --ipc host -v /tank/aimodels:/tank/aimodels -v /home/lkraven:/lk \
