Summary

  • Load EschaLabs trellis-quantized Qwen3.5-MoE checkpoints, including EschaLabs/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Escha-W2.
  • Convert the released expert representation to verified affine tensors and install native Metal trellis expert weights by default.
  • Normalize checkpoint quantization at the shared loader entry point so adapter-routed and direct loads behave identically.
  • Add doctor/residency validation, model documentation, and conversion/reference tooling.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p higgs-models -- -D warnings
  • cargo clippy -p higgs --lib -- -D warnings
  • cargo test -p higgs eschamoe --lib (8 passed)
  • cargo test -p higgs-models eschamoe --lib (34 passed)
  • cargo test -p higgs-models test_load_qwen35 --lib (7 passed)
  • Real-GPU release E2E: load Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Escha-W2 with native trellis enabled; a chat request returned exactly PINEAPPLE (19 prompt / 4 completion tokens).

HIGGS_ESCHA_NATIVE=0 retains the affine conversion fallback for diagnostics.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for EschaLabs eschamoe trellis-quantized Qwen3.6 MoE checkpoints.
    • Checkpoints are detected automatically and support native or converted loading paths.
    • Added native Apple Silicon support with memory estimates and configuration guidance.
    • Added higgs doctor checks for quantization validity, memory requirements, and CPU or memory pressure.
    • Added utilities for analyzing and creating reduced Eschamoe checkpoints.
  • Documentation

    • Documented setup, conversion requirements, supported loading paths, limitations, and Apple Silicon recommendations.

Convert released expert codes to affine tensors and install native Metal weights when available.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Eschamoe checkpoint detection, reference decoding tools, native Metal execution, Qwen3.5 expert loading, reduced-checkpoint generation, doctor diagnostics, and model documentation.

Changes

Eschamoe checkpoint support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reference decoder and analysis tooling
tools/escha_ref.py, tools/escha_forensics.py, tools/escha_nonexpert.py
Adds safetensors range reads, trellis decoding, reconstruction, comparison metrics, residual analysis, and command-line workflows.
Reduced checkpoint generation
tools/escha_subset.py
Creates reduced checkpoints with selected layers and experts, rewritten metadata, adjusted configuration, and copied tokenizer files.
Native Metal decoding and gathering
crates/higgs-models/src/lib.rs, crates/higgs-models/src/metal_kernel.rs
Exposes Eschamoe support and adds cached JIT kernels for tile dequantization and expert-gather matrix-vector multiplication.
Qwen3.5 native expert loading
crates/higgs-models/src/qwen3_next.rs
Loads converted Eschamoe tensors, installs native experts, executes the sorted-token MoE path, handles fused GDN tensors, and validates checkpoint layouts.
Diagnostics and documentation
crates/higgs/src/doctor.rs, README.md, docs/models.md
Adds metadata validation, native and affine memory estimates, warnings, loading guidance, limitations, and configuration examples.
Byte decoding maintenance
crates/higgs-models/src/bonsai_q1.rs, crates/higgs-models/src/turboquant.rs
Replaces manual fixed-size byte assembly with as_chunks conversions in loaders and GPU equivalence tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0195b

This change adds Escha trellis checkpoint loading and enables native Metal expert weights by default. Merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness that the reference downloader can follow insecure redirects, residency checks may falsely pass incomplete metadata, and shard loading increases peak memory for Qwen3.5 MoE models.

Collapse get into raw_get and close the file handles.

Consider writing model.safetensors.index.json for the subset.

The subset output contains a single model.safetensors and no index file. The Rust loader uses collect_safetensors_files, so loading works. But tools/escha_nonexpert.py line 33 and tools/escha_forensics.py line 39 both resolve tensors through model.safetensors.index.json. Neither tool can inspect the subset output. Writing a trivial index that maps every key to model.safetensors makes the subset usable by the rest of this tooling.

Add backoff between retries.

The loop retries immediately four times. A rate-limited or briefly failing endpoint returns the same error on all four attempts. Sleep with an increasing delay between attempts.

656-671: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reject a layer_meta block that does not cover every projection.

trellis_expert_bytes sums only the entries that are present. A reduced checkpoint, such as the output of tools/escha_subset.py, can carry a layer_meta block for a subset of layers. The estimate is then far too low and check_eschamoe_memory reports a false fit. Compare the entry count against the expected projection count and return None when it is short, so the caller falls back to the affine estimate.

Log the tensors that the fused loader drops.

The loop skips a tensor in two places without a trace event: when qwen35_checkpoint_param_key returns None at Line 5485, and when qwen35_target_param_key finds no target at Line 5513. A dropped tensor only surfaces later through ensure_all_model_params_loaded, and that message reports a count of unloaded parameters, not the source key. load_qwen3_next_weights already warns on an unmatched key.

Collect the skipped keys and emit them at debug level, as load_qwen3_5_moe_weights_direct does.

Extract the shared FFI plumbing of the two kernel wrappers.

eschamoe_dequant_tiles and eschamoe_gather_qmv repeat the same sequence: create the config, build the input vector, apply the kernel, read output 0, then free the config and both vectors. Only the template arguments, the grid, the output spec, and the input list differ. A future edit that adds an early return to one copy leaks the config or a vector.

Move the apply-and-extract step into one helper that takes the cached kernel, the configured mlx_fast_metal_kernel_config, and the input pointers, and that owns every free on all paths.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/higgs-models/src/metal_kernel.rs`:
- Line 307: Update eschamoe_gather_qmv to reject configurations whose
in_features would make x_sh exceed the 32 KiB threadgroup-memory limit, using an
explicit error message before dispatch; preserve valid configurations and apply
the same guard to the corresponding down-projection path.
- Around line 405-449: Update check_gather_inputs to validate the first
dimension of code.shape() against spec.num_experts while preserving the existing
tile-dimension, dtype, and rank checks; bind the leading axis in the shape match
and reject any code tensor whose expert count differs from spec.num_experts.

In `@crates/higgs-models/src/qwen3_next.rs`:
- Around line 2291-2318: Update both SwitchMlpWeights methods
forward_gather_fused and forward_gather_global_sort to delegate immediately to
the native escha-backed execution path when escha is present, ensuring all
expert routes use native weights. Preserve the existing affine implementation
for configurations without escha and avoid duplicating the native gather logic.
- Around line 4542-4558: Update the MTP layout classification condition using
has_mtp, has_moe_router, and has_moe_experts so MoeQuantized is selected only
when both the router and routed expert tensor groups are present; otherwise
return MtpWeightLayout::None for either missing group.
- Around line 5411-5412: In the quantization setup, replace the `.ok()`
conversions assigned to `args.quantization` and `args.gate_quantization` with
error-propagating deserialization using `?`, so invalid specifications return
the original serde error instead of falling back to defaults.
- Around line 5442-5451: Refactor checkpoint loading around
load_qwen3_5_moe_weights_fused so the standard path streams
collect_safetensors_files one shard at a time instead of accumulating all
tensors in checkpoint_tensors’ Vec. Restrict convert_checkpoint_auto to the
eschamoe path, and preserve per-shard Array::load_safetensors and
validate_quantized_tensor_widths processing while dropping each shard after
assignment.
- Around line 5033-5034: Update load_qwen3_5_model_with_gdn_fallback so eschamoe
checkpoints are handled in the force_separate and mixed-bit fallback branches as
well as the fused Ok(natives) branch: either route both branches through the
converting loader that applies apply_escha_natives, or explicitly reject the
incompatible configuration with a clear error before
load_qwen3_5_moe_weights_direct is called.
- Around line 5565-5574: Update the completeness filter in the
ensure_all_model_params_loaded call to suppress .mlp.switch_mlp. placeholders
only for layer indices represented in escha_natives, rather than whenever
native_experts is nonempty. Preserve validation for uncovered MoE layers so
their placeholder affine parameters cannot pass through to gather_qmm.

In `@crates/higgs/src/doctor.rs`:
- Around line 493-498: Update check_quant_method_declarations and its call site
so declaration conflicts are evaluated only when the model is_eschamoe;
non-eschamoe mismatches such as awq versus gptq must remain silent, while mixed
declarations involving eschamoe must still fail and return from the doctor
flow.</codeգ

In `@docs/models.md`:
- Around line 126-131: Update docs/models.md lines 126-131 to state that Higgs
reads trellis experts natively and converts only the remaining weights in memory
at load; update docs/models.md line 60 by replacing “converted at load” with
wording that notes native trellis-expert loading. Ensure both statements
describe the native path as the default behavior.

In `@tools/escha_nonexpert.py`:
- Around line 18-22: Replace the hardcoded tools and checkpoint paths in
tools/escha_nonexpert.py lines 18-22 with Path(__file__).resolve().parent and
environment-variable or CLI configuration for ESCHA and BASE; move the
import-time QCFG load behind a function so importing the module needs no
checkpoint path. Apply the same tools-directory resolution and
environment-variable or CLI configuration for LOCAL_ESCHA in
tools/escha_forensics.py lines 18-21.
- Around line 2-9: The module docstring advertises runnable cos and layout
subcommands, but the module has no command-line entrypoint or corresponding
layout implementation. Add a main dispatch and implement or connect the cos and
layout handlers so both documented invocations execute; otherwise remove the
command examples and describe the module as import-only.

In `@tools/escha_ref.py`:
- Around line 107-125: Update get to validate index against the leading
dimension shape[0] before computing the byte offset; reject negative or index
values greater than or equal to that dimension, while preserving the existing
slicing behavior for valid indices.
- Around line 90-99: Update _read to pass a finite timeout to
urllib.request.urlopen for remote reads, then validate that the response
contains exactly length bytes before returning it; raise the same appropriate
error used by tools/escha_subset.py for short or incomplete reads, while leaving
local-file behavior unchanged.

In `@tools/escha_subset.py`:
- Around line 195-219: Update the subset flow to pass the effective,
tensor-supported expert count into write_configs rather than the original
requested count. Ensure write_configs uses this clamped experts value
consistently for text["num_experts"], quant["global_config"]["num_experts"], and
related expert metadata so config.json matches escha_config and the payload.

Fixed (14): expert-axis validation in check_gather_inputs; 32 KiB threadgroup staging guard with a named error; forward_gather/forward_gather_fused now delegate to the native path when escha weights are present; MTP layout requires both router and routed experts; HIGGS_SEPARATE_GDN_PROJ + eschamoe rejected explicitly (the direct loader cannot install natives); quantization serde errors propagate instead of silently falling back to defaults; completeness check suppresses switch_mlp placeholders per covered layer; doctor quant_method conflicts scoped to eschamoe; docs state the native path as default; tools resolve paths from __file__/env vars, fake CLI docstring removed, range reads get timeout + short-read validation + https scheme check, expert-index bounds check, and escha_subset clamps the effective expert count into config.

Deferred (1): the streaming shard loader (avoid holding the whole checkpoint in one Vec). It refactors the shared GDN-fusion loader used by every Qwen3.5 MoE load; it deserves its own PR with a peak-RAM regression test rather than riding in a review-response commit. Will follow up.

Remaining for merge: the CLA check needs a signature (only the repo owner can do that), and this branch's lint job should flip green on this push.

🌐 Web query:

In Python urllib.request documentation, does urlopen follow an HTTPS redirect to an HTTP URL by default, and how can a caller reject redirect destinations before opening them?

💡 Result:

Yes, by default, the Python urllib.request library follows HTTP and HTTPS redirects [1][2]. It does not differentiate between an HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect and any other type of redirect, provided the destination URL uses a supported scheme (http, https, or ftp) [3][4][5]. To reject or control redirect destinations before they are followed, you can subclass urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler and override the redirect_request method [4][6]. This method is responsible for returning a new Request object if the redirect should proceed or None if it should be rejected [1][5]. Here is an example of how to implement a custom redirect filter: import urllib.request class RedirectFilter(urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler): def redirect_request(self, req, fp, code, msg, hdrs, newurl): # Example logic: Reject redirects to HTTP if the original was HTTPS if req.full_url.startswith('https://') and newurl.startswith('http://'): # Returning None prevents the default redirect behavior return None return super.redirect_request(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs, newurl) # Build an opener with the custom handler and install it opener = urllib.request.build_opener(RedirectFilter) urllib.request.install_opener(opener) # Use urlopen as usual # response = urllib.request.urlopen('https://example.com') By returning None in redirect_request, you prevent the default redirect logic from executing for that specific URL, effectively stopping the library from following that redirect [1][6][5].

Reject insecure redirect destinations before reading.

urllib.request.urlopen follows HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects by default. Reject non-HTTPS redirect targets with a custom HTTPRedirectHandler before reading checkpoint bytes.
