[model] feat: add GLM-5 (MoE + MLA + DSA) bridge and provider by yaoyu-33 · Pull Request #2913 · NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge

yaoyu-33 · 2026-03-20T03:49:52Z

What does this PR do?

Takes over #2469 and rebases onto latest main.

Adds support for the GLM-5 model (MoE + MLA + DSA architecture).

Changes

GLM5Bridge: bidirectional HF ↔ Megatron-Core checkpoint conversion for GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM
GLM5ModelProvider: config/arch mapping for the glm_moe_dsa architecture
Overrides maybe_modify_loaded_hf_weight / maybe_modify_converted_hf_weight to handle fused expert tensors (3D) introduced in transformers>=5.2.0
Exposes GLM5Bridge and GLM5ModelProvider in the glm_moe_dsa package
Functional tests for GLM-5 conversion across parallelism configs

Note: Requires transformers>=5.2.0 locally to use this feature, due to the new fused expert weight layout.

Release Notes

New Features
- Added support for GLM-5 models with Mixture of Experts (MoE) and Distributed Sparse Attention (DSA) capabilities, including HuggingFace-to-Megatron conversion.
Updates
- Reorganized model provider exports for improved API structure, including expanded support for Llama, DeepSeek, NeMoTron, and GLM variants.
- Updated upstream Megatron-LM dependency.
Tests
- Added functional test suite for GLM-5 model conversion validation across multiple parallelism configurations.

Introduce FusedExpertMapping and FusedGatedExpertMapping in param_mapping.py to handle many-to-one / one-to-many expert weight conversions generically. This eliminates duplicated maybe_modify_converted_hf_weight overrides and hf_weights_cache from GPT-OSS, GLM-4.5, GLM-4.5V, and Qwen3-VL bridges (-502 / +307 lines). Also fixes two pre-existing bugs: - GLM-4.5 MTP mappings used stale 'transformer_layer' instead of 'mtp_model_layer', causing missing-mapping warnings - hf_to_megatron_generate_text.py set mtp_num_layers=None which crashed MTP-enabled models; replaced with m.mtp_process=False Signed-off-by: Yu Yao <yaoyu.094@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: yaoyu-33 <yaoyu.094@gmail.com> Made-with: Cursor

Add Megatron Bridge for MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2, a sparse MoE model with 256 experts, top-8 sigmoid routing, and expert bias correction. Includes: - Bridge with config mapping and per-expert weight conversion (block_sparse_moe prefix, w1/w2/w3 format) - Partial RoPE support (rotary_dim -> rotary_percent) - QK layernorm intentionally disabled (full-dim vs per-head mismatch) - Functional test with toy model for TP/PP/EP parallelism - Example scripts for conversion, inference, and verification - compare.py fix: truncate Megatron logits to HF vocab size for proper comparison when Megatron pads vocab for kernel efficiency Signed-off-by: yaoyu-33 <yaoyu.094@gmail.com> Made-with: Cursor

…ti-node support for MiniMax-M2 Add custom full-dimension QK normalization (minimax_m2_provider.py) since MiniMax-M2 applies RMSNorm over the entire Q/K projection rather than per-head. The implementation uses sum-of-squares all-reduce across TP ranks and provides sharded_state_dict for distributed checkpointing. Add on-the-fly FP8 block-wise dequantization in the bridge via maybe_modify_loaded_hf_weight, converting float8_e4m3fn weights to bfloat16 using per-block scale_inv factors during HF->Megatron conversion. Add multi-node Slurm scripts (slurm_conversion.sh, slurm_inference.sh) for configurations requiring TP*EP*PP > 8 GPUs. Update verify_toy_model.py to extract real pretrained weights (N layers) from the FP8 model, dequantize to bf16, and verify round-trip accuracy. Fix dtype mismatch handling in hf_megatron_roundtrip_multi_gpu.py for FP8 source models. Signed-off-by: yaoyu-33 <yaoyu.094@gmail.com> Made-with: Cursor

Nit: if model_name_or_path is None (e.g. model was constructed in-memory), the fallback silently does nothing after logging the initial warning about save_pretrained failing. Adding an else branch with a warning would make debugging easier:

Suggested change

src_dir = getattr(self, "model_name_or_path", None)

if src_dir is not None:

src_file = Path(str(src_dir)) / f"{name}.json"

if src_file.exists():

shutil.copy(src_file, Path(save_path) / f"{name}.json")

else:

logger.warning(f"Source file {src_file} not found; skipping {name}.")

src_dir = getattr(self, "model_name_or_path", None)

if src_dir is not None:

src_file = Path(str(src_dir)) / f"{name}.json"

if src_file.exists():

shutil.copy(src_file, Path(save_path) / f"{name}.json")

else:

logger.warning(f"Source file {src_file} not found; skipping {name}.")

else:

logger.warning(f"No model_name_or_path set; cannot fall back to file copy for {name}.")
