…checking exact classes The MoE factory decided what a backend could accept by naming it. Fifteen `moe_cls is <Class>` / `moe_cls in [...]` / `isinstance` gates across `create_moe`, `moe_scheduler` and two model files spelled capability as class identity, so a subclass of a supported backend was silently ineligible, and the same eligibility rule lived in the factory, the constructor and a late runtime error, free to disagree. It already did: MEGAMOE_DEEPGEMM reached SiTU only because `activation="situ"` and `activation_type` were two parameters that contradicted each other -- the factory built its problem from the unset `activation_type` default (Swiglu), passed the gate, then handed the constructor `"situ"` -- while the identical MEGAMOE_CUTEDSL request raised. Each backend now declares what it accepts and the factory reads the declaration: - `MoEActivationSupport` (new `activation.py`) states which `ActivationType`s a backend implements and, per constant, the shape its kernel boundary requires (`PER_EXPERT_TENSOR` / `UNIFORM_SCALAR` / `UNSUPPORTED`). The bias and swiglu-parameter allow-lists are gone. - Selection reads that declaration in one place. `MoEProblem` carries `activation_constants` -- which registers the caller actually fills, a question the kind alone cannot answer, since clamped and unclamped SwiGLU share one `ActivationType` but not one set of eligible backends -- and `_reject_unsupported_activation` declines a candidate whose declaration cannot carry them. Previously such a mismatch raised from the adapter at construction, past the point where another candidate could still be chosen. - `MoEStaticCapability.supports_eplb` replaces `supported_load_balancer_backends`, the same shape of list one layer down. `CuteDslB12xFusedMoE` now rejects `eplb_enabled` in `can_implement` instead of failing at construction. - `MoEImplBase.try_fused_route_quant` replaces the `isinstance(moe.backend, TRTLLMGenFusedMoE)` branch in `moe_scheduler`, so a backend opts into the fused route+quant path by overriding it. The hook drops the model name the method carried while it lived on one class, because the contract is generic -- return what `routing_method.apply` and `quantize_input` would have produced, or `None` -- and only the implementation is specialized: the op it calls hardcodes 896 experts, top-16, hidden 3584 and 64 tokens, so the `TRTLLMGenFusedMoE` override still says Kimi K3. The second `isinstance` in that same branch went the other way, to `input_requirement.routing_scales_dtype`. Both replaced a class name, but one asked which dtype the backend reads, which is data a declaration can carry, and this one asks whether a faster path exists, which is behavior only the backend can answer. - Kimi K3's explicit-backend requests pass `allow_backend_degradation=False` instead of asserting on the resolved class, so a silent substitution fails loudly rather than running a different kernel. The `moe_cls in (...)` branches that remain in `create_moe` select which kwargs each constructor takes. They are signature dispatch, not eligibility, and are the factory's job. A declaration is only worth reading if no backend inherits one it never made. `CuteDslFusedMoE`, `DeepGemmFusedMoE` and `MarlinFusedMoE` derived from `CutlassFusedMoE` for constructor reuse while overriding both entry points, so each silently inherited its parent's capability object -- including `supports_expert_bias=True`, which none of them implements and which this change would otherwise have turned from a dormant inconsistency into a selection input. They now derive from `MoEImplBase` and share the constructor through `apply_moe_impl_construction_state`, and every impl declares `capabilities`, `input_requirement` and `activation_support` itself, so no declared value travels by inheritance. `CuteDslB12xFusedMoE` keeps its `CutlassFusedMoE` parent, the one case where that is a real dependency rather than reuse: `_route_to_cutlass` sends every NVFP4 prefill chunk through `CutlassFusedMoE.quantize_input` / `run_moe`, which read the whole Cutlass execution state. This also closes TRTLLM-15649, because the exact-class gates were only needed while one activation was described by several parameters at once: - One carrier. `MoEActivation` (`SwigluActivation`, `SiTuActivation`, ...) holds type, alpha, beta and clamp together, and is what the layer hands to the factory and to selection. `trtllm_gen_activation_type/alpha/beta` and MegaMoE's `activation` string are deleted; `ActType_TrtllmGen` becomes a C++ ABI encoding rather than a second user-facing enum. `build_moe_problem` and `resolve_moe_impl` take only the carrier: their `activation_type` parameter had no caller left, since the kind is derivable and the constants are not. - One clamp, at every layer. `swiglu_limit` (per-expert tensor) and `swiglu_limit_scalar` merge into a single `clamp`, and the materialized view keeps one field too: which ABI a backend gets is already pinned by its declaration, so `materialize_activation_params` renders the shape and no backend chooses between two slots. - Kind-neutral names above the ABI. The installed slots are `act_alpha` / `act_beta` / `act_clamp`, because SiTU fills the same registers the C++ boundary spells `swiglu_*` and every non-SwiGLU backend was renaming it back on arrival. The op-call sites keep each kernel's own schema names. The MegaMoE CuteDSL op, whose signature we own, is renamed to match; DeepGEMM's `situ_beta` stays because `_import_deep_gemm` gates on the installed signature accepting exactly that. - SiTU travels as `ActivationType.SiTu` with alpha/beta, collapsing MegaMoE's two translation tables into the declaration. Gates that meant "FC1 is gated" and were written `== ActivationType.Swiglu` now say `is_gated_activation`, which stops them from rejecting SiTU. The slots are installed once per writer of an input the materialization reads, under the rule that whoever writes that input last re-installs. `apply_moe_impl_construction_state` establishes the invariant for an impl built directly, which unit tests and microbenchmarks do and which never sees the wrapper. `ConfigurableMoE.create_weights` re-installs after applying the layerwise quant config, since `TRTLLMGenFusedMoE` narrows its clamp to a uniform scalar on the FP8 block-scale path and would otherwise keep a tensor clamp that kernel silently ignores; being the last write before `create_weights`, it is also the value every reader in the wrapper path sees. The EPLB slot sync and DWDP's `fixup_moe_backends` re-install because they rewrite `expert_size_per_partition`, which sizes a per-expert constant. `MoEActivationSupport.limit_when_absent` exists because CuteDSL's epilogue always applies the clamp functor: at that boundary "no clamp" is `+inf`, not `None`. A constructor fixup cannot express it, because `ConfigurableMoE` re-installs the activation slots after syncing `expert_size_per_partition` and would overwrite it. `tests/unittest/_torch/moe/test_fused_moe.py` drops the 15 tests that were already permanently skipped as covered by `test_moe_backend.py` and `test_moe_module.py`, together with the six helpers only those tests called -- `run_fused_moe_nvfp4` alone was 240 lines -- and the module-level cloudpickle / `MPI.pickle` bootstrap, which existed so the deleted `MPIPoolExecutor` cases could pickle test functions across ranks. The file goes 2639 -> 466 lines. The three live tests and the two reference classes they use are byte-identical, and no test list or CI stage referenced any deleted name. Tested on GB300 (aga) and B300 at an earlier revision of this change: `test_moe_backend` 363 passed, `test_moe_module` single_gpu 267 / multi_gpu 438 / multi_gpu_eplb 18, `test_kimi_k3_situ_moe` 64 passed + 1 xfailed. multi_gpu gives byte-identical counts on both clusters. Accuracy on B300: `TestNemotronV3Nano::test_fp8`, `TestGPTOSS::test_w4_1gpu`, `TestDeepSeekV4Flash::test_nvfp4_4gpus_static_eplb` and `TestMiniMaxM3::test_nvfp4[use_msa=False]` all pass. Re-verified on GB300 (aga) after rebasing onto origin/main, which is the run that covers the selection-time activation gate, the two re-install points, the single-field clamp and the reparent: `test_moe_backend` 371 + 8 passed, `test_moe_module` single_gpu 278 / multi_gpu 470 / multi_gpu_eplb 18 / DEEPGEMM 14 / CUTEDSL-NVFP4 18 / DENSEGEMM 5, `test_kimi_k3_situ_moe` 69 passed + 1 xfailed, `test_configurable_moe` 2 passed, and the trimmed `test_fused_moe` 9 passed + 64 skipped. Every count is identical to the pre-rebase run of the same matrix, which is the signal that neither the reparent nor the upstream span the rebase pulled in -- the relocation of `_torch/modules/fused_moe` to `_torch/moe/fused_moe` among it -- changed anything observable. The 21 architectural gates in that job all pass, including `fc31_normalization_in_base_class` and `dsv4_swiglu_limit_war_removed`, which are what the two carried commits from NVIDIA#18239 exist to satisfy. `test_configurable_moe` goes 2 failed -> 2 passed relative to the pre-reparent run: its wrapper fixture builds a `ConfigurableMoE` through `__new__` and never set `ep_size`, which `_reject_non_divisible_ep_backend` reads. The accuracy cases run on B300 rather than aga and are covered by the run above. Signed-off-by: xxi <xxi@nvidia.com>

Description
Implements TRTLLM-14959 and closes TRTLLM-15649.
The MoE factory decided what a backend could accept by naming it — 15
moe_cls is <Class>/isinstancegates acrosscreate_moe,moe_schedulerand two model files. A subclass of a supported backend was silently ineligible,
and the same eligibility rule lived in the factory, the constructor and a late
runtime error, free to disagree. Each backend now declares what it accepts and
the factory reads the declaration.
Capabilities are declared, not read off the class
MoEActivationSupport(newactivation.py) states whichActivationTypes abackend implements and, per constant, the shape its kernel boundary requires
(
PER_EXPERT_TENSOR/UNIFORM_SCALAR/UNSUPPORTED). The bias andswiglu-parameter allow-lists are gone.
MoEStaticCapability.supports_eplbreplacessupported_load_balancer_backends.MoEImplBase.try_fused_route_quantreplaces theisinstance(moe.backend, TRTLLMGenFusedMoE)branch inmoe_scheduler.can still be chosen, instead of raising from the adapter at construction.
allow_backend_degradation=Falserather than asserting on the resolved class, so a silent substitution fails
loudly.
One activation carrier
MoEActivation(SwigluActivation,SiTuActivation, ...) holds type, alpha,beta and clamp together.
trtllm_gen_activation_type/alpha/betaand MegaMoE'sactivationstring are deleted;ActType_TrtllmGenbecomes a C++ ABI encodingrather than a second user-facing enum.
swiglu_limit(per-expert tensor) andswiglu_limit_scalar, merge into a singleclamp; which ABI a backend gets ispinned by its declaration.
act_alpha/act_beta/act_clamp),since SiTU fills the registers the C++ boundary spells
swiglu_*. Eachkernel's own schema name survives at the op call site, which is why
swiglu_limit_scalaris still what the CuteDSL op is handed.Three backends no longer inherit a declaration they never made
CuteDslFusedMoE,DeepGemmFusedMoEandMarlinFusedMoEderived fromCutlassFusedMoEfor constructor reuse while overriding both entry points, soeach inherited its parent's capability object — including
supports_expert_bias=True, which none of them implements. They now derive fromMoEImplBaseand share the constructor throughapply_moe_impl_construction_state.CuteDslB12xFusedMoEkeeps itsCutlassFusedMoEparent, the one case where that is a real dependency:_route_to_cutlasssends every NVFP4 prefill chunk through the parent'squantize_input/run_moe.The
moe_cls in (...)branches left increate_moeselect which kwargs eachconstructor takes. That is signature dispatch, not eligibility.
Test Coverage
Existing suites, updated for the new API:
test_moe_backend.py(selection-timeactivation gating, per-backend declarations,
allow_backend_degradation),test_moe_module.py(single/multi-GPU + EPLB),test_kimi_k3_situ_moe.py(SiTUcarrier end-to-end) and
fused_moe/test_configurable_moe.py(the two re-installpoints).
test_fused_moe.pydrops the 15 tests already permanently skipped as covered bythe first two, plus the six helpers only they called and the module-level
cloudpickle bootstrap that existed for the deleted
MPIPoolExecutorcases(2639 → 466 lines). The three live tests are byte-identical and no test list or
CI stage referenced a deleted name.

clamphere assumes that normalization lives in the basemethod, so without #18239 this refactor would carry the DSv4 workaround forward.
Please merge #18239 first; I will then rebase this branch so it contains only
the TRTLLM-14959 commit.
