EAGLE3 base-model loading for NVIDIA Cosmos3 (Qwen3-VL text tower): - ModelArguments.config_overrides: optional dict applied to model config + text_config before instantiation (some checkpoints don't propagate text_config dims; Cosmos3 needs intermediate_size/num_key_value_heads forced). - load_vlm_or_llm: apply config_overrides; for model_type==cosmos3_omni use the transformers-cosmos3 Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration (a Qwen3-VL subclass; the plugin registers only the config under Auto*), with ignore_mismatched_sizes for the unused vision tower. - main.py: thread recipe.model.config_overrides into both load paths.

load_vlm_or_llm already accepts config_overrides, but ar_validate.py had no way to supply them, so it could not load checkpoints whose nested text_config dims don't propagate to the parent config. The Cosmos3-Nano EAGLE3 checkpoints are exactly that case: the saved config.json carries num_hidden_layers/intermediate_size/num_key_value_heads/hidden_size correctly under text_config but leaves the parent fields None, which is the same propagation gap the cotrain works around at load time. Optional and defaults to None, so existing callers are unaffected. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>
Same gap ar_validate.py had: load_vlm_or_llm accepts config_overrides but the export script had no way to supply them, so it cannot load checkpoints whose nested text_config dims don't propagate to the parent config -- e.g. the Cosmos3-Nano EAGLE3 checkpoints, whose saved config.json leaves the parent num_hidden_layers/intermediate_size/num_key_value_heads/hidden_size as None. Optional and defaults to None, so existing callers are unaffected. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>
…CausalLM
AutoModelForCausalLM cannot load architectures that are absent from the Auto*
maps. Cosmos3 is the motivating case: the transformers-cosmos3 plugin registers
only the `cosmos3_omni` *config* with AutoConfig, never a model class, so merging
a LoRA into a Cosmos3-Nano base died with KeyError('cosmos3_omni') regardless of
what was imported.
load_vlm_or_llm already encapsulates this -- it imports the plugin, dispatches to
Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration when model_type is cosmos3_omni, and applies
config_overrides for checkpoints whose nested text_config dims don't propagate.
For plain LLMs it falls back to AutoModelForCausalLM with the same dtype and
device_map, so behavior for existing models is unchanged; VLMs additionally route
to AutoModelForVision2Seq instead of failing.
Also adds --config_overrides, matching ar_validate.py and export_hf_checkpoint.py.

[CRITICAL Compatibility] This block silently reverts the Transformers 5 fallback added at lines 651-660.
Lines 651-660 already select model_cls, deliberately using getattr(transformers, "AutoModelForVision2Seq", None) with a fallback to AutoModelForImageTextToText because Transformers 5 removed the AutoModelForVision2Seq name. This new block runs unconditionally afterwards and overwrites that result with a bare attribute access.
Impact: pyproject.toml pins transformers>=4.57,<5.15, so Transformers 5 is a supported, in-range environment. On any such install, every VLM load through load_vlm_or_llm — training, ar_validate.py, export_hf_checkpoint.py, and now merge_lora.py — raises AttributeError: module 'transformers' has no attribute 'AutoModelForVision2Seq' before from_pretrained is ever reached. It also contradicts this PR's own description ("routes VLMs to AutoModelForVision2Seq/AutoModelForImageTextToText"), which describes the existing block, so this looks like a rebase/merge artifact rather than an intended change.
Fix: delete these four lines; the earlier selection is already correct and model_cls is still in scope at line 690.

Confirmed and fixed in 8eed412 — thank you, this was a real regression. It came from a bad conflict resolution on my side while rebasing onto main: I kept main's Transformers-5-safe block but my commit re-added its own model_cls selection further down, which then overwrote it. There is now a single selection block (main's, with the AutoModelForVision2Seq → AutoModelForImageTextToText fallback intact); the cosmos3 path just reassigns model_cls and falls through.

[CRITICAL Algorithm] Passing a config object changes how **extra is interpreted, breaking offline training whenever config_overrides is set.
extra (lines 662-666) carries num_hidden_layers=0 and possibly layer_types=[]. Those only work as config kwargs: from_pretrained forwards unrecognized kwargs into config_class.from_pretrained(..., return_unused_kwargs=True, **kwargs) only when config is not already a PretrainedConfig instance. When a config instance is passed, transformers deep-copies it and leaves the remaining kwargs in model_kwargs, which are then forwarded to cls(config, **model_kwargs).
So with config_overrides set:
num_hidden_layers=0never reaches the config, so the memory-saving 0-layer load silently stops working and the full base model is materialized (this path exists specifically to avoid OOM on large models), and- most model
__init__s accept onlyconfig, so the surviving kwarg raisesTypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'num_hidden_layers'.
This is reachable from examples/speculative_decoding/main.py:240-249, which passes use_offline_training=use_offline_training and config_overrides=recipe.model.config_overrides together — i.e. exactly an offline recipe that also needs the override. Note the two features are independent today, so this only shows up for users who need both, which is why the end-to-end runs in the PR description wouldn't have caught it.
Fix: apply the offline settings to the config object instead of passing them as kwargs, and pass the config unconditionally so there's a single code path:
if use_offline_training:
model_config.num_hidden_layers = 0
if hasattr(model_config, "layer_types"):
model_config.layer_types = []
model = model_cls.from_pretrained(
model_name_or_path,
config=model_config,
trust_remote_code=trust_remote_code,
torch_dtype=dtype,
device_map=device_map,
)Since model_config was loaded from the same path, always passing it is behavior-preserving for the no-override case and removes the extra/config interaction entirely. If you'd rather keep the change minimal, keep extra but only pass config= when config_overrides and not use_offline_training — and mirror whichever fix you pick into the cosmos3_omni branch at lines 672-683, which has the same config=model_config + **extra combination.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Correct, and fixed in 8eed412. num_hidden_layers=0 was silently not reaching the config whenever a config instance was passed, so the offline path would have materialized the full base — exactly the OOM it exists to avoid. Offline fields are now set on the config object when we pass one, and kept as kwargs when we don't (so the no-overrides path is byte-for-byte unchanged). I also had to capture the original depth before zeroing, since num_orig_hidden_layers is restored from it after load — that would otherwise have recorded 0.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] A mistyped or non-applicable override key is silently dropped, reproducing the exact bug this flag exists to fix.
hasattr(cfg_obj, key) guards every assignment, and PretrainedConfig doesn't define a catch-all __getattr__, so --config_overrides '{"num_hiden_layers": 36}' (typo) or a key that exists on neither the parent nor text_config is skipped without a word. The user then gets a wrong-shaped text tower — the original failure mode — but now with a flag that appears to have taken effect. On the cosmos3_omni path this compounds with ignore_mismatched_sizes=True below, so the wrong shapes don't even hard-fail at weight load.
Suggest failing loudly when a key matched nothing:
if config_overrides:
targets = [c for c in (model_config, getattr(model_config, "text_config", None)) if c]
for key, value in config_overrides.items():
applied = [c for c in targets if hasattr(c, key)]
if not applied:
raise ValueError(
f"config_overrides key '{key}' is not a field of {type(model_config).__name__} "
"or its text_config."
)
for cfg_obj in applied:
setattr(cfg_obj, key, value)Related: since the loop writes to both configs unconditionally, an override for a name that means different things at the two levels (e.g. hidden_size, where the parent may describe the projector/vision side) will corrupt the parent. Worth a note in the docstring that this flag is for keys whose parent and text meanings coincide.

Fixed in 8eed412. Scoped the guard to the two FakeBaseModel returns rather than rejecting config_overrides + use_offline_training outright — offline training without fake-base goes through the normal path, which now applies overrides correctly, so blanket-rejecting would have blocked a working combination.

[IMPORTANT Algorithm] Two problems with this early return.
1. It bypasses the offline-training post-processing. Lines 699-701 set model.config.num_orig_hidden_layers = model_config.num_hidden_layers, which plugins/hf_eagle.py:205 and plugins/hf_dflash.py:450 read to size the draft stack. Returning here skips it, so hf_eagle.py's getattr(self.config, "num_orig_hidden_layers", 0) silently yields 0. This branch is only unreachable for offline runs if cosmos3_omni also satisfies the _is_vlm test at lines 645-648 (which returns FakeBaseModel earlier) — that holds only while the config keeps a non-None text_config, since "vl" not in "cosmos3_omni". That's a fragile invariant to rely on for correctness. Please either handle use_offline_training before returning, or select model_cls = Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration here and fall through to the shared from_pretrained at line 690 so both this and the config/**extra issue are fixed in one place.
2. ignore_mismatched_sizes=True is model-wide, not vision-only. The comment justifies it for the unused vision tower, but the flag suppresses shape mismatches on every tensor, including the text tower. Combined with config_overrides — whose whole job is rewriting text dims — a wrong override means the affected text layers get randomly initialized and the load merely warns. For a speculative-decoding base that silently destroys AR with no error, and it's hard to attribute after the fact. Suggest asserting the text dims after load (e.g. len(model.model.language_model.layers) == model_config.text_config.num_hidden_layers and a hidden-size check), so a bad override fails fast instead of degrading.
3. Minor: from transformers_cosmos3 import Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration is unguarded here while the import at line 620-621 is contextlib.suppress(ImportError). With trust_remote_code=True, AutoConfig can produce model_type == "cosmos3_omni" from the checkpoint's own remote code with the plugin absent, turning that into a bare ImportError. A message pointing at the missing transformers-cosmos3 package would be friendlier.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 8eed412 by taking your second option: the cosmos3 branch now sets model_cls and falls through to the shared from_pretrained, so it picks up the num_orig_hidden_layers post-processing and no longer duplicates the load call. Agreed the previous early return relied on a fragile invariant.

[SUGGESTION] This json.loads(...) if ... else None expression plus the identical 10-line --config_overrides help text is now copy-pasted across three scripts (ar_validate.py:116, export_hf_checkpoint.py:57, merge_lora.py:111). Two small things worth folding into one shared helper next to load_vlm_or_llm:
- A non-object JSON payload (
--config_overrides '[1,2]'or'36') parses fine here and only fails later insideload_vlm_or_llmwithAttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'— or, for a scalar,if config_overrides:truthiness carries it further still. - Malformed JSON surfaces as a raw
json.decoder.JSONDecodeErrortraceback rather than an argparse usage error.
Something like a module-level add_config_overrides_arg(parser) / parse_config_overrides(value) pair (or type=json.loads on the argument plus an isinstance(..., dict) check) would keep the three entrypoints in sync and give a clear message. Non-blocking.

Good catch on both counts — fixed in efb2ca2. Added parse_config_overrides() and CONFIG_OVERRIDES_HELP next to load_vlm_or_llm, and switched all three scripts to them. '[1,2]' and '36' now fail immediately with a message naming the actual type instead of surfacing later as AttributeError, and malformed JSON raises a ValueError quoting the parse error rather than a raw traceback.

Claude review — 2 CRITICAL, 2 IMPORTANT, 1 SUGGESTION
Reviewed all 6 changed files (+111/−7): modelopt/torch/speculative/utils.py, plugins/hf_training_args.py, then examples/speculative_decoding/{main.py, scripts/ar_validate.py, scripts/export_hf_checkpoint.py, scripts/merge_lora.py}. Full coverage — no paths skipped.
The two features are individually sound, and the merge_lora loader swap is the right call. Both CRITICAL findings are in load_vlm_or_llm, and neither would have shown up in the end-to-end Cosmos3 runs described in the PR body — one needs Transformers 5, the other needs config_overrides together with offline training.
Most impactful
1. [CRITICAL] Duplicate model_cls block breaks all VLM loads on Transformers 5 — utils.py:685-688
The new block runs unconditionally after the existing selection at lines 651-660 and overwrites it, replacing getattr(transformers, "AutoModelForVision2Seq", None) + AutoModelForImageTextToText fallback with a bare transformers.AutoModelForVision2Seq. That name was removed in Transformers 5, which pyproject.toml admits (transformers>=4.57,<5.15). Every VLM load — training, ar_validate, export_hf_checkpoint, and now merge_lora — raises AttributeError there. This also contradicts the PR description, which describes the pre-existing block, so it reads as a rebase artifact. Deleting the four lines is the whole fix.
2. [CRITICAL] config=model_config if config_overrides else None silently disables the offline 0-layer load — utils.py:692
extra (num_hidden_layers=0, layer_types=[]) only works as config kwargs, and transformers forwards kwargs into the config only when config is not already a PretrainedConfig instance. Pass a config object and those kwargs stay in model_kwargs and go to cls(config, **model_kwargs) → TypeError on most models, or at best the OOM-avoidance this path exists for stops working and the full base is materialized. Reachable from main.py:240-249, which passes use_offline_training and config_overrides together. Cleanest fix is to set the offline fields on model_config and always pass config=model_config; the same config + **extra pairing needs the same fix in the cosmos3_omni branch.
Also worth addressing
3. [IMPORTANT] Unknown override keys are silently dropped (utils.py:630-636) — hasattr guards every setattr, so a typo'd key yields the exact wrong-shaped tower the flag exists to fix, with a flag that looks like it worked. Raise when a key matches neither config.
4. [IMPORTANT] cosmos3_omni early return (utils.py:672-683) — skips the num_orig_hidden_layers assignment that hf_eagle.py:205 and hf_dflash.py:450 depend on (only unreachable while the config keeps a non-None text_config, since "vl" not in "cosmos3_omni"), and ignore_mismatched_sizes=True is model-wide rather than vision-only — so a bad config_overrides randomly initializes text layers with only a warning, silently destroying AR.
Notes
merge_lora.py's existing all-zero LoRA-B guard means a VLM/CausalLM key-layout mismatch fails loudly rather than producing a silently unmerged model — good, no change needed there.- On your changelog question:
config_overridesonload_vlm_or_llmis a new user-facing feature, so a one-sentence entry under New Features → Speculative Decoding fits the repo convention. Themerge_loraVLM fix is example-script-only and reads as skippable. - No mode registration, config schema, or
modelopt_statesurface is touched;config_overridesdefaults toNone, so restore/backward compatibility is unaffected.
Risk
Medium-high as it stands, low once #1 and #2 are fixed. Both criticals are narrow, mechanical fixes in one function, and finding #1 in particular is a regression against currently-working behavior for users on Transformers 5.
…silent drops Review findings on this PR, all verified against the code: 1. CRITICAL — duplicate model_cls selection. A second `model_cls` block ran after the existing one and overwrote it with a bare `transformers.AutoModelForVision2Seq`, discarding main's Transformers-5 fallback. Since pyproject allows transformers<5.15, every VLM load through load_vlm_or_llm would have raised AttributeError on a supported install. This was a bad conflict resolution on my side when rebasing; removed the duplicate. 2. CRITICAL — passing `config=` changed how `**extra` is interpreted. from_pretrained only forwards unrecognized kwargs into the config when it builds that config itself; given a PretrainedConfig instance it leaves them in model_kwargs, so `num_hidden_layers=0` silently stopped taking effect and the full base was materialized -- defeating the OOM-avoidance the offline path exists for. Offline fields are now set on the config when a config object is passed, and the original depth is captured before zeroing so num_orig_hidden_layers is still restored correctly. 3. The cosmos3 branch no longer returns early; it selects model_cls and falls through to the shared from_pretrained, so offline post-processing (num_orig_hidden_layers) applies to it too and the load call is not duplicated. 4. IMPORTANT — unmatched override keys were dropped silently, so a typo produced a wrong-shaped model while appearing to have applied. Now raises listing the offending keys. 5. FakeBaseModel paths rebuild the config from the checkpoint and cannot honor config_overrides; they now refuse instead of ignoring them. Scoped to those two paths -- offline training without fake-base handles overrides correctly. 6. merge_lora no longer copies the base config.json back over the saved one when config_overrides were applied: the weights were built from corrected dims, so the original config would disagree with them and force every downstream reader to re-supply the same overrides.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] Overrides only reach text_config, but VLM detection 20 lines below accepts llm_config too — so for an llm_config-nesting checkpoint an override can be silently applied to the wrong config.
targets is hardcoded to (model_config, model_config.text_config), while line 692-694 detects VLMs via ["text_config", "llm_config"] (the same list modeling_fakebase._VLM_CONFIG_ATTRS uses). Consequence for a checkpoint that nests its text tower under llm_config and mirrors the fields on the parent as None — exactly the shape this feature exists for, just with the other attribute name:
hasattr(model_config, "num_hidden_layers")isTrue(present, valueNone), sosetattrlands on the parent andapplied = True.llm_config.num_hidden_layersis never touched, so the text tower is still built from the uncorrected dims.unmatchedstays empty, so theValueErrorthat exists to prevent precisely this silent wrong-shape outcome never fires.
The user gets the wrong-shaped tower with a flag that reports success. (For a parent that lacks the field entirely, e.g. InternVL, it instead raises "matched no field … or its text_config", which is loud but means the flag just doesn't work for those checkpoints.)
Build targets from the same attribute list used for detection:

Real bug — fixed in 4322e5e. Overrides now target the parent plus every nested config, not just text_config. I pulled the attribute list into a NESTED_CONFIG_ATTRS constant that the VLM detection below now also uses, so the two can't drift apart again. Verified the llm_config-nesting case: with the parent mirroring the field as None, both parent and llm_config now receive the override, and a typo still raises.

[SUGGESTION] This branches on the raw CLI string, not on the parsed result, so --config_overrides '{}' takes the "overrides were applied" path even though nothing was overridden.
args.config_overrides is '{}' — truthy — while parse_config_overrides('{}') returns {}, which load_vlm_or_llm treats as no-op. The merged checkpoint then keeps save_pretrained's rewritten config.json (rope_theta → rope_parameters, torch_dtype → dtype), which is exactly what the copy above exists to undo for downstream TRT-LLM/vLLM readers. Narrow, but it also means the value is parsed twice.
Parse once near the top of main() and branch on the dict:
config_overrides = parse_config_overrides(args.config_overrides)
...
model = load_vlm_or_llm(
args.base_model_path,
dtype="auto",

trust_remote_code=args.trust_remote_code,

)
...
if config_overrides:
print(" Keeping the saved config.json (...)")
elif base_config.exists():
...As a bonus, a malformed --config_overrides then fails before the multi-minute base-model load rather than after it.

Fixed in 4322e5e — main() parses once and both the load_vlm_or_llm call and the config-restore branch use the parsed dict, so '{}' correctly counts as no overrides and keeps the restore.

[SUGGESTION] Hard-failing here makes recipe-driven offline runs unusable for the very checkpoints this flag targets, even though from_source already resolves the nested dims correctly.
FakeBaseModel.from_source (modeling_fakebase.py:182-210) reads AutoConfig, then picks base_cfg as the first non-None of _VLM_CONFIG_ATTRS = ["text_config", "llm_config"], falling back to the parent — i.e. it reads dims preferentially from the nested text config, so the "parent fields are None" problem doesn't apply to it. The rejected case is one that would already have worked.
The cost shows up in main.py: config_overrides=recipe.model.config_overrides is forwarded unconditionally at both call sites, and use_offline_training = recipe.data.mode != "online". So one recipe cannot serve both modes — a recipe carrying the overrides needed for online co-training raises NotImplementedError the moment data.mode is offline, and the user has to strip the field and put it back. Note this fires on the line-700 path for any VLM under offline training, regardless of use_fake_base.
Two options, either fine:
- Thread it through — add
config_overrides: dict | None = Nonetofrom_sourceand apply it toorig_configand each nested config before derivingbase_cfg. ~5 lines, and it makes the flag mean the same thing on every path. - Keep refusing, but only when it would change the outcome: compare each override key against the value
from_sourcewould derive and raise solely on a mismatch, so a redundant-but-correct recipe field passes through.
I'd lean on (1) since main.py gives the caller no way to vary the argument per mode.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You're right, and I verified it before changing: FakeBaseModel.from_source picks base_cfg as the first non-None of _VLM_CONFIG_ATTRS (modeling_fakebase.py:185-192), so it already reads dims from the nested text config — the exact problem config_overrides exists to work around. The case I was rejecting would have worked. Combined with main.py forwarding config_overrides unconditionally, hard-failing made a single recipe unable to run offline at all. Downgraded to warnings.warn in 4322e5e.

Claude review — 0 CRITICAL, 1 IMPORTANT, 2 SUGGESTION
Reviewed all 6 changed files (+183/−14) at efb2ca2: modelopt/torch/speculative/utils.py, plugins/hf_training_args.py, then examples/speculative_decoding/{main.py, scripts/ar_validate.py, scripts/export_hf_checkpoint.py, scripts/merge_lora.py}, plus plugins/modeling_fakebase.py and the num_orig_hidden_layers consumers (hf_eagle.py, hf_dflash.py) for context. Full coverage — no paths skipped.
Prior round is resolved
All four findings from the earlier review are genuinely fixed, not papered over:
- Duplicate
model_clsblock — gone; thecosmos3_omnidispatch now only overridesmodel_clsfor that onemodel_typeand leaves the Transformers 4/5-compatibleAutoModelForVision2Seq/AutoModelForImageTextToTextfallback intact. configvs.num_hidden_layers=0kwarg — thepass_configsplit is the right fix. When a config object is passed, the offline fields are set on the config directly; otherwise the old kwarg path is byte-for-byte preserved.orig_num_hidden_layersis now captured before zeroing (and after overrides), so the value stashed innum_orig_hidden_layersis the corrected depth.- Silently dropped override keys — now raises with the
model_typein the message. cosmos3_omniearly return — replaced by amodel_clsreassignment that falls through to the sharedfrom_pretrained+num_orig_hidden_layerstail.
Also verified: trust_remote_code on the concrete Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained is popped-and-warned by PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained, not a TypeError; config=None is the documented default so the non-override path is unchanged; and _is_vlm and use_offline_training returns early, so the pass_config offline branch can never zero a parent config whose real depth lives in a nested one.
The one remaining should-fix
[IMPORTANT] Overrides target only text_config, while VLM detection accepts llm_config too — utils.py:672
targets is hardcoded to (model_config, model_config.text_config), but the _is_vlm check 20 lines down uses ["text_config", "llm_config"] (the same pair as _VLM_CONFIG_ATTRS). For a checkpoint with the same shape as the motivating one but nesting under llm_config — nested dims real, parent fields present-but-None — hasattr(parent, key) is True, so the setattr lands on the parent, applied becomes True, unmatched stays empty, and the nested config is never corrected. The new ValueError guard is bypassed in exactly the case it was added to catch, and the user gets the wrong-shaped tower from a flag that reports success. Deriving targets from a shared module-level attribute list fixes it and keeps the two lists from drifting.
Non-blocking
merge_lora.py:164branches on the raw CLI string rather than the parsed dict, so--config_overrides '{}'skips restoring the baseconfig.jsondespite no override being applied. Parsing once inmain()also surfaces malformed JSON before the base-model load instead of after it._reject_overrides_on_fake_base(utils.py:643-650) refuses a casefrom_sourcealready handles — it derives dims preferentially fromtext_config/llm_config. Sincemain.pyforwardsrecipe.model.config_overridesunconditionally anduse_offline_trainingis derived fromdata.mode, one recipe can't serve both modes: an online recipe raises as soon as the mode flips to offline.
Notes
- The
merge_loraloader swap is the right call, and the reasoning in the new comment matches what the code does. The pre-existing all-zero LoRA-B guard means a VLM/CausalLM key-layout mismatch fails loudly rather than silently producing an unmerged model. - Not re-raising the model-wide
ignore_mismatched_sizes=Trueon thecosmos3_omnipath — flagged last round and evidently a deliberate trade for loading a VLM checkpoint text-only. Worth knowing that it still means a matched-but-wrong override value (e.g.num_hidden_layers=40against a 36-layer checkpoint) random-inits text layers behind a warning; the unmatched-keyValueErrordoesn't cover wrong values. - No mode registration, config schema, or
modelopt_statesurface is touched.config_overridesdefaults toNoneon bothload_vlm_or_llmandModelArguments, so save/restore and existing checkpoints are unaffected. - On your changelog question:
config_overridesis a new user-facing option, so a one-sentence entry under New Features → Speculative Decoding fits the repo convention. Themerge_loraVLM fix is example-script-only and reads as skippable.
Risk
Low. The structural problems from the last round are gone and the remaining IMPORTANT is a two-line change in one expression that only bites llm_config-nesting checkpoints. Nothing here endangers the paths the PR reports as exercised end-to-end.

…rse once
1. IMPORTANT — overrides only reached text_config, but VLM detection also accepts
llm_config. For a checkpoint nesting its text tower under llm_config with the
fields mirrored as None on the parent, the override landed on the parent,
counted as applied, and never reached the real text tower -- silently
reproducing the wrong-shaped model this flag exists to prevent. Overrides now
target every nested config, via a NESTED_CONFIG_ATTRS constant that VLM
detection also uses so the two lists cannot drift.
2. Downgraded the FakeBaseModel guard from NotImplementedError to a warning.
Verified the reviewer's point: FakeBaseModel.from_source resolves dims from the
nested text_config/llm_config first (modeling_fakebase.py:185-192), so that
path is already correct without overrides -- the case I rejected would have
worked. Since main.py forwards config_overrides unconditionally, raising made
a single recipe unable to run offline at all.
3. merge_lora parses the overrides once and branches on the parsed dict, so
--config_overrides '{}' (a no-op) keeps the config.json restore instead of
taking the 'overrides were applied' path.

Python's json.loads accepts the JSON5-ish constants NaN, Infinity and -Infinity by default, so they would parse cleanly and land on a config field as a model dimension. parse_constant now rejects them with the same actionable error as the other malformed inputs.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
[IMPORTANT Compatibility] ignore_mismatched_sizes=True turns the one failure mode config_overrides is most likely to produce into a warning.
ignore_mismatched_sizes=True makes from_pretrained randomly re-initialize any tensor whose checkpoint shape disagrees with the config shape, instead of raising. The comment justifies it for the unused vision tower, but the flag is global — it also covers the text tower, which is precisely where config_overrides writes hand-supplied dims.
Concretely: --config_overrides '{"intermediate_size": 12288}' where the true value is 11008 now yields a text tower whose MLP weights are freshly random, with only a logger.warning to show for it. The last review round hardened parse_config_overrides and added the unmatched-key ValueError to catch typo'd key names; a typo'd value on a cosmos3 checkpoint slips through here silently. Two of the PR's own validation steps would not catch it either — merge_lora.py only asserts LoRA-B norms are non-zero, and lm_eval on a partly-random 16B model degrades rather than errors.
The second-order effect is worse in merge_lora.py: the re-initialized tensors are then save_pretrained'd, so the "merged base" checkpoint on disk permanently contains random weights for anything that mismatched (including the vision tower this flag was added for). A downstream multimodal consumer gets garbage with no record of why.
Suggested fix — keep the escape hatch but verify what it actually let through, e.g. request the loading info and fail on anything outside the vision prefix:
model, loading_info = model_cls.from_pretrained(
model_name_or_path,
config=model_config if pass_config else None,
trust_remote_code=trust_remote_code,
torch_dtype=dtype,
device_map=device_map,
output_loading_info=True,
**extra,
)
unexpected = [k for k, *_ in loading_info.get("mismatched_keys", ()) if not _is_vision_key(k)]
if unexpected:
raise ValueError(
f"Checkpoint weights {unexpected[:8]} were re-initialized because their shapes "
f"disagree with the config. If you passed config_overrides, one of the values is "
f"wrong for this checkpoint."
)(output_loading_info=True changes the return type, so gate it on "ignore_mismatched_sizes" in extra if you'd rather not take it on every path.) A narrower alternative is to only set ignore_mismatched_sizes when config_overrides is not supplied — the two features are individually reasonable but compose badly.

[SUGGESTION] The non-finite guard has a hole: parse_constant only fires on the literal tokens NaN / Infinity / -Infinity. Overflowing decimal literals go through parse_float (plain float()), so --config_overrides '{"num_hidden_layers": 1e999}' still yields inf and lands on a config field as a dimension — the exact outcome this callback was added to prevent.
Since the values here are all config scalars, a post-parse check over the values is both simpler and complete, and it also catches the adjacent case of a wrong-typed value ({"num_hidden_layers": "36"} currently sets a str on the config, which surfaces later as an opaque error inside module construction):
if not isinstance(parsed, dict):
raise ValueError(...)
for key, value in parsed.items():
if isinstance(value, float) and not math.isfinite(value):
raise ValueError(f"--config_overrides[{key!r}] is non-finite ({value!r}).")
return parsedwith import math at the top; the parse_constant=_reject closure can then go away.

[SUGGESTION] The getattr(..., None) softens a previously-loud failure into a None that propagates.
Before this change the offline path did model.config.num_orig_hidden_layers = model_config.num_hidden_layers, which raised AttributeError immediately on a config that lacks the field. Now orig_num_hidden_layers can be None and gets assigned at line 785, so the attribute exists with value None. That defeats the two consumers' defaults: hf_eagle.py:205 does getattr(self.config, "num_orig_hidden_layers", 0) and gets None rather than 0, and hf_dflash.py:450 reads it directly — both then fail somewhere in draft-model setup with a TypeError far from the cause.
Reachability is low (any decoder config reaching this branch normally has num_hidden_layers), so this is only a hardening nit, but the fix is one line:

[SUGGESTION] This import is reachable without transformers_cosmos3 installed, and then raises a bare ImportError.
The soft import at line ~672 is contextlib.suppress(ImportError), so the plugin isn't guaranteed present here. model_type == "cosmos3_omni" is also satisfiable via trust_remote_code=True, where AutoConfig resolves the config from the checkpoint's own configuration_*.py with no plugin involved. In that case the user gets ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'transformers_cosmos3' from the middle of load_vlm_or_llm, which reads as a modelopt bug rather than a missing optional package.
A wrapped message points at the install:
if getattr(model_config, "model_type", None) == "cosmos3_omni":
try:
from transformers_cosmos3 import Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration
except ImportError as e:
raise ImportError(
"Loading a cosmos3_omni checkpoint requires the transformers-cosmos3 package, "
"which registers only the config with AutoConfig -- the model class must be "
"imported directly. Install it to load this checkpoint."
) from eUnrelated and trivial: the unmatched ValueError at line 711-713 says "or its text_config", but the targets now span NESTED_CONFIG_ATTRS (text_config and llm_config) — worth saying "or its nested text config" so the message doesn't mislead someone debugging an llm_config checkpoint.

Claude review — round 3 (head 91402faa8d)
Findings: CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 1 · SUGGESTION: 3
Scope: full PR — all 6 changed files (+210/−15): modelopt/torch/speculative/utils.py, plugins/hf_training_args.py, then examples/speculative_decoding/{main.py, scripts/ar_validate.py, scripts/export_hf_checkpoint.py, scripts/merge_lora.py}. Also opened plugins/modeling_fakebase.py (to check the NESTED_CONFIG_ATTRS mirror claim) and the num_orig_hidden_layers consumers in hf_eagle.py / hf_dflash.py. No paths skipped.
Prior rounds — verified resolved
All five round-1 and three round-2 findings check out against the current code, not just the changelog:
- Single
model_clsselection block atutils.py:730-739, Transformers-5 fallback (AutoModelForVision2Seq→AutoModelForImageTextToText) intact. pass_confignow gates thenum_hidden_layers=0/layer_types=[]write between config-attribute and kwarg form (utils.py:760-772) — the offline 0-layer load survivesconfig=.- Unmatched override keys raise (
utils.py:705-714). - The cosmos3 branch falls through to the shared
from_pretrained+num_orig_hidden_layerspost-processing rather than returning early. merge_lora.py:165-172keeps the savedconfig.jsonwhen overrides were applied.NESTED_CONFIG_ATTRS = ["text_config", "llm_config"]matchesmodeling_fakebase._VLM_CONFIG_ATTRS:68exactly, and both the override targets and the_is_vlmdetection read it.- FakeBaseModel path warns rather than raises.
I also traced the offline reachability question the pass_config fix depends on: use_offline_training reaching line 760 implies not a VLM (both use_fake_base and _is_vlm return FakeBaseModel earlier), so targets == [model_config] there and setting model_config.num_hidden_layers = 0 on the parent is sufficient — no nested config can survive at full depth. That holds.
Most impactful new finding
[IMPORTANT] ignore_mismatched_sizes=True composes badly with config_overrides — utils.py:751
The cosmos3 branch sets ignore_mismatched_sizes=True, which makes from_pretrained randomly re-initialize any tensor whose checkpoint shape disagrees with the config instead of raising. The comment justifies it for the unused vision tower, but the flag is global — it also covers the text tower, which is exactly where config_overrides writes hand-supplied dims.
So a value typo (intermediate_size: 12288 where the truth is 11008) now produces a partly-random text tower behind a logger.warning. Round 1 closed the key-typo hole with the unmatched-key ValueError; this is the same class of mistake one field over, and it lands on the one code path whose whole purpose is manual dim correction. Neither of the PR validations would catch it: merge_lora.py only asserts LoRA-B norms are non-zero, and lm_eval on a partly-random 16B model degrades rather than errors. In merge_lora.py the re-initialized tensors are then saved by save_pretrained, so the merged base on disk permanently carries random weights for whatever mismatched — including the vision tower the flag exists for.
The inline comment suggests output_loading_info=True plus a check that every mismatched_keys entry is under the vision prefix; the narrower option is to set ignore_mismatched_sizes only when config_overrides is absent.
Suggestions (non-blocking)
parse_config_overrides(utils.py:609-615) —parse_constantonly fires on theNaN/Infinitytokens; overflowing literals like1e999go throughparse_floatand still produceinf. A post-parsemath.isfinitesweep over the values closes it completely, and can also reject wrong-typed values ("36"as a string).orig_num_hidden_layers = getattr(..., None)(utils.py:758) — replaces a loudAttributeErrorwith aNonethat is then assigned, defeatinggetattr(self.config, "num_orig_hidden_layers", 0)inhf_eagle.py:205. Low reachability; one-line guard.from transformers_cosmos3 import Cosmos3ForConditionalGeneration(utils.py:748) is unguarded but reachable without the plugin whentrust_remote_code=Trueresolvescosmos3_omnifrom the checkpoint own config code — a bareModuleNotFoundErrorreads as a modelopt bug. Also: the unmatched-key error message still says "or itstext_config" though targets now spanllm_configtoo.
Risk assessment
Low-to-moderate. The blast radius is well contained: config_overrides defaults to None, pass_config is False on every pre-existing path, and the config=None / **extra behavior is byte-identical to main when no overrides are supplied. The merge_lora loader swap resolves to AutoModelForCausalLM with the same dtype/device_map for plain LLMs. The one IMPORTANT finding is confined to model_type == "cosmos3_omni" and is a loud-failure-to-warning downgrade rather than a wrong result on any default path — but it sits directly on the feature being added, so worth closing before merge.
Not re-raised (already noted in earlier rounds or out of scope): the missing unit test for a nested-text_config fixture, and the CHANGELOG.rst entry for the merge_lora VLM fix — the latter looks changelog-worthy to me under Speculative Decoding, since merge_lora previously could not merge into any VLM base at all.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: New feature + bug fix
Two related gaps, both hit while enabling EAGLE3 on a checkpoint whose config nests its text dims.
1.
config_overridesfor checkpoints whosetext_configdims don't propagate.Some multimodal checkpoints carry the real text-tower dims only under
config.text_config, leaving the parent fieldsNone.from_pretrainedthen builds a text tower with the wrong shape.load_vlm_or_llmgains an optionalconfig_overridesdict applied to both the parent config and itstext_configbefore instantiation, and the three entrypoints that load checkpoints —ar_validate.py,export_hf_checkpoint.py,merge_lora.py— get a--config_overridespassthrough.main.pythreads it fromModelArguments.2.
merge_lora.pycould not merge into any VLM base.It loaded via
AutoModelForCausalLM, which cannot load architectures absent from the CausalLM Auto map — every VLM base failed. It now goes throughload_vlm_or_llm, which routes VLMs toAutoModelForVision2Seq/AutoModelForImageTextToTextand plain LLMs toAutoModelForCausalLMwith the samedtype/device_map, so LLM behavior is byte-for-byte unchanged.Also adds an optional
transformers_cosmos3import socosmos3_omniis registered withAutoConfigbefore use, and dispatches thatmodel_typeto its model class directly — that plugin registers only a config, never a model underAuto*, soAutoModelForCausalLMraisedKeyError('cosmos3_omni')regardless of imports. The import is wrapped incontextlib.suppress(ImportError), so it is a no-op when the plugin isn't installed.Usage
