Purpose

  • Fix KV cache tests, whose models only have activation quantization

Background

Previously, is_model_quantized would only check for quantization on leaf modules. Now it checks on attention modules as well, but since we have examples of attention modules with only activation quantization, this triggers a bug in infer_quantization_format

Testing

Summary of Changes

Hello @kylesayrs, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a specific bug in the infer_quantization_format utility function within the llmcompressor library. The primary goal is to ensure that the function correctly identifies and infers the quantization format for models that exclusively utilize activation quantization, which was previously causing failures, particularly in KV cache tests. The changes simplify the initial checks for quantization presence within the function.

Highlights

  • Bugfix for infer_quantization_format: The infer_quantization_format function was updated to correctly handle models that only have activation quantization. This resolves a bug that was exposed by recent changes to is_model_quantized, which now correctly identifies quantization in attention modules, leading to issues with KV cache tests.
  • Refactor infer_quantization_format logic: The internal logic of infer_quantization_format was streamlined. It now first determines unique quantization arguments for weights and inputs, and then explicitly returns None if no weights are found to be quantized. This change replaces a previous check using is_model_quantized and ensures more robust behavior.
