The change removes four quantized FlashInfer TRTLLM-Gen MoE leaves and their eligibility gates. Quantized formats now use native TRTLLM leaves. The unquantized BF16 FlashInfer leaf remains.
The change also removes the TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER flag, quantized methods from FlashinferOpBackend, provider-pair lookup helpers, and NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer. The communication factory API no longer accepts use_flashinfer; two-sided NVLink uses native NVLinkTwoSided. Callers must not depend on the removed APIs or implementation.
Reported B200 validation includes 370 passing tests, 73 passed and 12 skipped backend tests, and 59 passed and 409 skipped module tests. The reported native NVLinkTwoSided cases passed 40/40. These results are supplied reports, not independently verified here. Review severity counts are unavailable. CI comments report successful bot runs alongside a failed pipeline and an unstable pipeline; investigate those pipeline results before treating CI as clear.
QA Engineer Review
Modified tests cover TRTLLM-Gen identity and lookup, backend behavior, communication-factory selection, and MoE communication. The changes remove tests for quantized FlashInfer selection and FlashInfer two-sided communication, and update native communication top_k coverage. Reported test_moe_comm.py results compare the collection to the base after removing FlashInfer two-sided cases; native strategy cases are reported unchanged.
The current CI lists include test_communication_factory.py, test_moe_comm.py, and test_moe_backend.py. They do not include test_moe_impl.py. No matching manual-QA list entry was found for these test files. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Confirm whether test_moe_impl.py requires CI-list coverage and investigate the reported failed and unstable pipelines.

Description
The TRTLLM MoE backend had two providers for most quantized formats: the native trtllm ops and FlashInfer's TRTLLM-Gen wrappers. The four FlashInfer leaves (nvfp4, fp8_block_scales, w4a16_mxfp4, w4a8_mxfp4_mxfp8) were only selectable behind the TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER=1 opt-in, which nothing in the repo, test lists, examples or perf configs sets. The only test that ran them pinned the class directly.
The native leaves fully cover them. Both providers share the same quant methods, so weight layouts are identical, and the native leaves admit a strict superset of problems:

This PR removes:
The four quantized FlashInfer leaves and their eligibility gates (check_flashinfer_provider, check_mxfp4_flashinfer_shape).
MoEEnvFlag.TRTLLM_GEN_USE_FLASHINFER (TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER). Setting it now has no effect; quantized formats always use the native leaf.
The quantized methods of FlashinferOpBackend (it keeps only run_bf16_moe), and the provider-pair lookup helpers trtllm_gen_leaves_in_resolution_order / _providers_to_try.
NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer, a port of the native MnnvlMoe two-sided alltoall that was only chosen for FlashInfer leaves (use_flashinfer). The unquantized leaf now uses the native NVLinkTwoSided, which also lifts the FlashInfer version's top_k % 8 == 0 row-alignment restriction.
Kept:FlashinferTrtllmGenBf16Impl. TRT-LLM's trtllm-gen cubins include no bf16 x bf16 batched GEMM, so the unquantized TRTLLM path still needs FlashInfer's trtllm_bf16_moe. Each TRTLLM-Gen format now has exactly one leaf. MoEDep.FLASHINFER stays for the SM120/121 B12x backend.
MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md and the trtllm-moe-develop skill reference are updated to match. No LLM-args or serve-schema changes.
Test Coverage
Run on B200 against the L0_PostMerge/3035 main wheel (source commit b96ba434e8; no _torch/moe changes between it and this PR's base), with this PR's _torch/moe overlaid, compared to the unmodified wheel with base-commit tests:
test_moe_backend.py -k "TRTLLM or trtllm or bf16 or BF16": 73 passed / 12 skipped, identical per-test outcomes to base.
test_moe_module.py -k "TRTLLM or trtllm or bf16 or BF16" (single GPU): 59 passed / 409 skipped, identical to base.
test_moe_comm.py: collected cases are base minus the removed NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer cases; native strategy cases unchanged.
Native NVLinkTwoSided: 40/40 passed (DEP/TEP/DTP/TTP). Base with NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer: 16/16 passed (only the top_k=8 shapes were eligible there).
Removed tests covered only the deleted code: the pinned FlashInfer NVFP4 accuracy test, the opt-in flag and FlashInfer-gate selection tests, and the NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer comm parametrizations.

Explanation
The title follows the repository template with a JIRA ticket ID [TRTLLM-17328] and the type [chore]. It states the main change: removing the quantized FlashInfer TRTLLM-Gen MoE leaves and the FlashInfer two-sided alltoall. The changeset matches this, including deletion of the four quantized FlashInfer leaves and NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer. The title is 105 characters, which is slightly long but still clear.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template well. It has a Description section that explains the problem and the removals, a Test Coverage section with specific B200 results, and a checked PR checklist. It also explains why the unquantized FlashInfer BF16 leaf and MoEDep.FLASHINFER are kept. The template's @coderabbitai summary line is absent, which is minor. The PR checklist items are left unverified, but the author marked the checklist as reviewed.

…es and FlashInfer two-sided alltoall
The four quantized FlashInfer TRTLLM-Gen leaves (nvfp4, fp8_block_scales,
w4a16_mxfp4, w4a8_mxfp4_mxfp8) were only selectable behind the
TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER opt-in, which nothing in the repo or CI
sets. Their native siblings share the same quant methods and weight layouts
and admit a strict superset of problems (SiTu/Relu2, DeepSeekV3/Default
routing, expert bias, fused shared experts, FP8 clamp, output in the
all-to-all workspace, no extra shard-alignment gate).
Remove those leaves, their eligibility gates, the opt-in flag, the
quantized FlashInfer op-backend methods, and the provider-pair lookup
helpers. Each TRTLLM-Gen format now has exactly one leaf; the unquantized
FlashinferTrtllmGenBf16Impl stays because TRT-LLM ships no bf16 x bf16
batched-GEMM cubins.
Also remove NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer, a port of the native MnnvlMoe
two-sided alltoall that was only picked for FlashInfer leaves. The bf16
leaf now uses the native NVLinkTwoSided, which also drops the FlashInfer
version's top_k % 8 row-alignment restriction.

check_flashinfer_shard_alignment now has a single caller, the bf16 leaf,
which never passes input_hidden_alignment, so the hidden-size branch was
unreachable. Keep only the intermediate-shard rule and state where the
128 comes from at the call site.
create_test_backend's moe_cls existed to pin the quantized FlashInfer
leaves that the default lookup never selects; no caller passes it any
more.

Validate native count constraints before selecting NVLinkTwoSided.
EPLB accepts num_experts=8, num_slots=10, and ep_size=2. The BF16 backend supports separated routing, so the forward path can reach prepare_dispatch. The native operator then rejects slotCount=10 because it requires counts divisible by four. Add the validation to the NVLinkTwoSided constructor. The existing auto-selection try/except will then fall back before forward execution.

Assert admission of each leaf’s own format.
The renamed test says each leaf admits its own format, but it only checks rejection of another format. A leaf that rejects every format still passes this test. For each impl_id, also call can_implement with the identity’s format and assert eligibility under the FlashInfer-enabled deployment. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
As per path instructions, “Flag assertions that would pass despite a plausible regression.”

Thanks for the cleanup. I went through the removal leaf by leaf and it holds up: each deleted FlashInfer leaf admitted a subset of what its native sibling admits, both providers use the same quant methods (so weight layouts match), the inlined NVFP4 padded-method check is the deleted helper verbatim, the BF16 leaf gets the same dispatch/combine data from native NVLinkTwoSided as from the FlashInfer port, and nothing in the tree (or on current main) still references the removed classes, the flag, the helpers or the use_flashinfer= argument.
Required (R1). Heads-up on overlapping open PRs, so the merge order is agreed: (1) #19806 (approved) conflicts with this PR in four files, including a modify/delete on trtllm_gen/flashinfer_fp8_block_scales.py, and its new cpu_only test test_trtllm_gen_fp8_block_scales_rejects_non_gated_activation is parametrized over FlashinferTrtllmGenFp8BlockScalesImpl and sets MoEEnvFlag.TRTLLM_GEN_USE_FLASHINFER, both removed here; whichever lands second has to drop that leaf, the parameter and env_flags, or the CPU pre-merge stage fails at collection. (2) #20768 (already has the full-pre-merge label) conflicts in test_communication_factory.py. (3) Draft #21212 edits the deleted nvlink_two_sided_flashinfer.py. Could you link them and agree on an order with their authors?
Required (R1). A few things in the description no longer match the branch: (1) Test Coverage says there are no _torch/moe changes between b96ba434e8 and this PR's base. That held for the original base 14765c7d98, but after the rebase onto 87ce6f1aa9, 40 files under _torch/moe and its tests changed in between (#20929, #21057, #20941, #20137, ...), so the 370 / 73+12 / 59+409 numbers describe the pre-rebase tree. Please re-run on 81ee87a or say which commit they are for. (2) The CodeRabbit block says test_moe_impl.py is in no CI list (it runs pre-merge through its cpu_only marker and l0_cpu.yml:129; #67076 ran it) and that fp4_block_scale.py changes NVFP4 padded-method selection (it inlines the same predicate). Please fix or drop those lines.

Blocker (B7). Dropping the opt-in is fine, but a deployment that still exports TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER=1 now silently switches to the native TRTLLM-Gen kernels and the native two-sided alltoall, with nothing in the log. The flag ships in release/1.3 (and its MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE), and README's deprecation policy asks for a runtime warning and a release-notes entry. Could you add a logger.warning_once(...) in collect_moe_environment() when the variable is set (same pattern as the deprecated aliases in moe_comm_timeout_guard.py:262-268), saying it was removed and quantized TRTLLM-Gen MoE always runs the native leaf, plus a line in the release notes?

Required (R1). Worth a line in the description: besides lifting the top_k % 8 restriction, moving the BF16 leaf to native NVLinkTwoSided means it now honours use_low_precision_moe_combine (an NVFP4 combine of the BF16 output, as CUTLASS BF16 layers already get on this strategy), where NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer asserted it off. So TRTLLM_FORCE_COMM_METHOD=NVLINK_TWO_SIDED plus the knob used to fail at startup for the BF16 leaf and now runs, and auto-selection no longer falls through to the next strategy. In practice this reaches e.g. the unquantized MTP layer of a DeepSeek NVFP4 checkpoint with moe_backend: TRTLLM. Whether the knob should touch unquantized layers at all (it is documented as 'only for NVFP4 quantization') is a cross-backend question, maybe for the per-layer quant config in #20768, not something this PR has to settle.

Good catch, BF16 TRTLLM over NVLINK_TWO_SIDED (4 GPUs, test_configurable_moe_multi_gpu, TRTLLM_TEST_MOE_CI=0): I ran them locally with that skip removed and only quant=None cases in the process (the cascade needs a block-scale case first). Native NVLinkTwoSided: 40/40 passed (DEP/TEP/DTP/TTP). Base with NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer: 16/16 passed (only the top_k=8 shapes were eligible there).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Required (R3). Small one, but CODING_GUIDELINES.md asks for it ("Always annotate functions. Make the return type None if the function does not return anything"): the three tests renamed here (lines 555, 633 and 784) need -> None.

Dev Engineer Review
The change removes four quantized FlashInfer TRTLLM-Gen MoE leaves and their eligibility gates. Quantized formats now use native TRTLLM leaves. The unquantized BF16 FlashInfer leaf remains.
The change also removes the
TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFERflag, quantized methods fromFlashinferOpBackend, provider-pair lookup helpers, andNVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer. The communication factory API no longer acceptsuse_flashinfer; two-sided NVLink uses nativeNVLinkTwoSided. Callers must not depend on the removed APIs or implementation.Reported B200 validation includes 370 passing tests, 73 passed and 12 skipped backend tests, and 59 passed and 409 skipped module tests. The reported native
NVLinkTwoSidedcases passed 40/40. These results are supplied reports, not independently verified here. Review severity counts are unavailable. CI comments report successful bot runs alongside a failed pipeline and an unstable pipeline; investigate those pipeline results before treating CI as clear.QA Engineer Review

The TRTLLM MoE backend had two providers for most quantized formats: the native
trtllmops and FlashInfer's TRTLLM-Gen wrappers. The four FlashInfer leaves (nvfp4,fp8_block_scales,w4a16_mxfp4,w4a8_mxfp4_mxfp8) were only selectable behind theTRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER=1opt-in, which nothing in the repo, test lists, examples or perf configs sets. The only test that ran them pinned the class directly.The native leaves fully cover them. Both providers share the same quant methods, so weight layouts are identical, and the native leaves admit a strict superset of problems:

check_flashinfer_provider,check_mxfp4_flashinfer_shape).MoEEnvFlag.TRTLLM_GEN_USE_FLASHINFER(TRTLLM_GEN_FUSED_MOE_USE_FLASHINFER). Setting it now has no effect; quantized formats always use the native leaf.FlashinferOpBackend(it keeps onlyrun_bf16_moe), and the provider-pair lookup helperstrtllm_gen_leaves_in_resolution_order/_providers_to_try.NVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfer, a port of the nativeMnnvlMoetwo-sided alltoall that was only chosen for FlashInfer leaves (use_flashinfer). The unquantized leaf now uses the nativeNVLinkTwoSided, which also lifts the FlashInfer version'stop_k % 8 == 0row-alignment restriction.Kept:
FlashinferTrtllmGenBf16Impl. TRT-LLM's trtllm-gen cubins include no bf16 x bf16 batched GEMM, so the unquantized TRTLLM path still needs FlashInfer'strtllm_bf16_moe.

Run on B200 against the L0_PostMerge/3035 main wheel (source commit
b96ba434e8; no_torch/moechanges between it and this PR's base), with this PR's_torch/moeoverlaid, compared to the unmodified wheel with base-commit tests:tests/unittest/_torch/moe/test_moe_impl.py+test_communication_factory.py: 370 passed.test_moe_backend.py -k "TRTLLM or trtllm or bf16 or BF16": 73 passed / 12 skipped, identical per-test outcomes to base.test_moe_module.py -k "TRTLLM or trtllm or bf16 or BF16"(single GPU): 59 passed / 409 skipped, identical to base.test_moe_comm.py: collected cases are base minus the removedNVLinkTwoSidedFlashinfercases; native strategy cases unchanged.NVLinkTwoSided: 40/40 passed (DEP/TEP/DTP/TTP).
