Conversation
… (NVBug 6701763) huggingface_example.sh parsed --kv_cache_free_gpu_memory_fraction and printed it, but no consumer had existed since the trtllm-build path was removed, so every engine the script deploys sized its KV cache from a default: 0.9 for lm-eval's trtllm backend and trtllm-serve, 0.7 hardcoded in modelopt.deploy.llm.LLM. Wire the value through all four paths (quant smoke test, lm_eval, mmlu, simple_eval/livecodebench) and default it to 0.7, matching what the engines effectively used before. lm-eval's backend drops unknown --model_args keys, so lm_eval_trtllm.py now injects the fraction into the KvCacheConfig it builds.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change makes GPU KV-cache sizing configurable across evaluation and serving paths and should reduce out-of-memory failures by reserving more headroom, but merge readiness remains moderate until backend-initialization error propagation is covered and the bounded validation and concurrent-initialization risks are explicitly addressed or accepted.

| - Update HuggingFace checkpoint export to use name-based tied-weight deduplication instead of the previous address-based approach. The address-based deduplication could incorrectly drop an untied weight that happened to share memory with a tied one, producing an incomplete checkpoint (observed as a false positive on MiniMax-M2.7). | ||
| - Fix EAGLE-3 training with context parallelism (``--cp_size > 1`` in ``examples/speculative_decoding``), which failed to start on ``accelerate >= 1.13`` and then raised ``got mixed torch.Tensor and DTensor``. | ||
| - Polygraphy minimum dependency upgraded to ``0.53.4`` to solve ONNX AutoCast failures when marking optional graph outputs. | ||
| - Fix ``--kv_cache_free_gpu_memory_fraction`` in ``examples/hf_ptq/scripts/huggingface_example.sh``: it was parsed but never forwarded, so every TensorRT-LLM engine the script deploys sized its KV cache from TensorRT-LLM's default 90% of free GPU memory and evaluation could run out of memory. The value now reaches the ``quant`` smoke test, ``lm_eval``, ``mmlu`` and ``simple_eval``/``livecodebench`` paths and defaults to 0.7; ``modelopt.deploy.llm.LLM`` and ``lm_eval_trtllm.py``'s ``--model_args`` accept ``kv_cache_free_gpu_memory_fraction`` directly. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Exercise the missing-TensorRT-LLM error path.
Lines 290-291 only enter and exit _kv_cache_fraction_applied(). The absent-KvCacheConfig branch yields normally. The test never calls _init or _UPSTREAM_INIT.
Call _init with the fraction and assert the expected ModuleNotFoundError, or replace _UPSTREAM_INIT with a sentinel error. This verifies that the compatibility shim does not pre-empt the backend error.
