	# vLLM runtime patch (ships with this MXFP4 checkpoint)

	## Why
	This checkpoint quantizes the routed experts to MXFP4 (the rest stays native
	MXFP8). MiniMax-M3 uses the clamped SwiGLU-OAI activation
	(`swiglu_limit: 7.0` in `text_config`).

	The stock `vllm/vllm-openai:minimax-m3` image has a bug in the compressed-tensors
	MXFP4 MoE method: `get_fused_moe_quant_config()` builds the kernel quant config
	without forwarding the SwiGLU clamp params, so `gemm1_clamp_limit` stays
	`None` and loading fails with:

	```
	AssertionError: SWIGLUOAI_UNINTERLEAVE requires clamp_limit
	```

	This is purely a runtime bug — the checkpoint and its `config.json` are correct
	(`swiglu_limit=7.0` is reachable via `hf_text_config`).

	## The fix
	`compressed_tensors_moe_w4a4_mxfp4.py` here is the patched file. It forwards
	`swiglu_limit / swiglu_alpha / swiglu_beta` (read from the already-populated MoE
	config) into the kernel quant config:

	- W4A16 (weight-only, this checkpoint's path): pass `gemm1_alpha`,
	`gemm1_beta`, `swiglu_limit` to `make_mxfp4_moe_quant_config` — which maps
	`gemm1_clamp_limit = swiglu_limit` per backend.
	- W4A4 (cutlass): set the fields on the returned config directly (that
	builder doesn't expose them).

	Send the same change upstream to the fork.

	## How to apply (no image rebuild)
	Bind-mount the file over the buggy one. Path is for the image's Python 3.12:

	```bash
	docker run --gpus all --privileged --ipc=host -p 8000:8000 \
	-v /mnt/storage:/root/.cache/huggingface \
	-v /mnt/storage/M3-MXFP4/vllm_patch/compressed_tensors_moe_w4a4_mxfp4.py:/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/vllm/model_executor/layers/quantization/compressed_tensors/compressed_tensors_moe/compressed_tensors_moe_w4a4_mxfp4.py \
	vllm/vllm-openai:minimax-m3 /root/.cache/huggingface/M3-MXFP4 \
	--block-size 128 \
	--tool-call-parser minimax_m3 --enable-auto-tool-choice \
	--reasoning-parser minimax_m3 \
	--load-format fastsafetensors
	```

	Verify after startup: the model loads past the activation assertion.
	If you bump the VRAM ceiling, add `--gpu-memory-utilization 0.85` and a smaller
	`--max-model-len` (the 1M default makes the KV cache huge).

	Patched against image `vllm/vllm-openai:minimax-m3` (vllm 0.1.dev17492+g454b47db8).
