What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py gains the MLflow tracking flags examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py already has: --mlflow <tracking-uri> (MLflow's own $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI is honoured too), --mlflow_experiment and --mlflow_run_name. Only the master rank opens a run, so a torchrun launch produces one run carrying the invocation, every command-line argument as a searchable param, the resolved --recipe (with $imports expanded), that rank's log and the quantizer summary. Once bridge.save_megatron_model returns, .experiment.json is written into --export_megatron_path, so a Megatron checkpoint found on disk names the run that produced it; a run that fails is still recorded as FAILED with its traceback.

Rather than copy the wiring a third time, the part hf_ptq and vllm_serve had each duplicated moves into modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow:

  • add_mlflow_args(parser, tool, tracks=, variant_help=) — the three flags, registered under both the --mlflow_x and --mlflow-x spellings (vLLM's FlexibleArgumentParser only matches the dashed one).
  • resolve_tracking_uri(uri, parser)(uri, required) — the flag overrides the environment and is fatal when the URI is unusable; a URI inferred from $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI warns and continues untracked, since that variable is commonly exported for unrelated tooling.
  • resolve_mlflow_args(args, parser, tool, model, variant) — the same, settled onto args, plus the default experiment name.
  • EXPERIMENT_JSON, MlflowRunLogger.log_experiment_json() and drop_experiment_json() — the checkpoint→run provenance pointer, previously private to hf_ptq.

Both existing callers now delegate to those, keeping their own help wording and variant naming, so the three scripts share one convention instead of three copies (example_utils.py and vllm_mlflow_utils.py each lose ~60 lines). Their flags and defaults are unchanged; the only user-visible difference is that hf_ptq's ignored-URI warning gains the $ the vLLM one already had (Ignoring $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI, continuing untracked), so one shared message serves both.

One behaviour change reaches hf_ptq through the shared helper, and it is a fix: when tracking was inferred from $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI and the run never opened (unreachable server, or mlflow not installed), it used to leave the previous run's .experiment.json beside a freshly exported checkpoint. log_experiment_json now drops the pointer when it has no run to record, so after a completed export the file is this run's or absent.

The new example-side code lives in examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py, which deliberately imports no Megatron, so the whole flag-to-artifact path is testable without the Megatron container (the same split examples/vllm_serve/vllm_mlflow_utils.py uses).

Usage

torchrun --nproc_per_node 2 quantize.py \
    --hf_model_name_or_path Qwen/Qwen3-8B \
    --recipe general/ptq/nvfp4_default-kv_fp8 \
    --tp_size 2 \
    --export_megatron_path /tmp/Qwen3-8B-NVFP4-megatron \
    --mlflow https://<your-mlflow-server>/

# The checkpoint then names the run that produced it:
cat /tmp/Qwen3-8B-NVFP4-megatron/.experiment.json

The experiment defaults to $USER/megatron_bridge_quantize/<model basename>-<recipe name, or --quant_cfg>.

Testing

  • tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_mlflow_utils.py — 20 new tests covering the flags (both spellings, env-vs-flag precedence, the fatal/best-effort split), the params/tags/artifacts a run records, rank gating, and the .experiment.json lifecycle. The last one guards the seam with quantize.py as text, since that script needs Megatron to import.
  • tests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.py — 13 new tests for the extracted library API; suite at 75 passed.
  • Full tests/examples/megatron_bridge suite in nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:26.08 on an RTX 6000 Ada: 37 passed (26m), including the three test_quantize_export cases that drive the real quantize.py, plus QAD, distill and prune.
  • Regression proof for the refactor: tests/examples/hf_ptq/test_hf_ptq_args.py 47 passed and tests/examples/vllm_serve/test_vllm_mlflow_utils.py 32 passed, unchanged apart from one renamed constant reference.
  • Both new guards were shown to fire: mutating the checkpoint_exported gate and removing with mlflow_run(args): each failed exactly one test.
  • End-to-end tracked run in nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:26.08 (tiny Qwen3-MoE, general/ptq/fp8_default-kv_fp8, 1 GPU) against an internal MLflow server: run 47d4ccd7cd9e48269e7248868347ccd0 under experiment $USER/megatron_bridge_quantize/mbridge-ptq-validation closed FINISHED carrying command.txt, version.txt, experiment.json, recipe/resolved_recipe.yaml, logs/quantize.log and summary/quant_summary.txt; all 19 CLI arguments plus world_size logged as params with no mlflow_* leakage, the model/checkpoint_path/source_checkpoint_path tags set, and .experiment.json written into the Megatron checkpoint beside iter_0000000/.
  • pre-commit run --files <changed>: all hooks pass (ruff, mypy, bandit, markdownlint).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional MLflow tracking for Megatron-Bridge quantization runs.
    • Configure tracking with --mlflow or MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI, with customizable experiment and run names.
    • Records searchable parameters, resolved recipes, quantization summaries, logs, and checkpoint provenance.
    • Captures successful and failed runs and cleans up stale checkpoint metadata when appropriate.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup instructions and usage examples covering artifacts, naming, checkpoint metadata, validation, and authentication.

--mlflow / --mlflow_experiment / --mlflow_run_name now record a
Megatron-Bridge PTQ run the way examples/hf_ptq already does: the master
rank uploads the invocation, every argument as a param, the resolved
recipe, its log and the quantizer summary, and writes .experiment.json
into --export_megatron_path once the checkpoint is saved.

The CLI plumbing hf_ptq and vllm_serve had each copied moves into
modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow (add_mlflow_args, resolve_tracking_uri,
resolve_mlflow_args), together with the provenance pointer
(EXPERIMENT_JSON, MlflowRunLogger.log_experiment_json,
drop_experiment_json). Both existing callers now delegate to it, with
their own wording and variant naming, so the three scripts share one
convention instead of three copies.

Resolve rank gating and redact query-string credentials before merging. Otherwise future callers can create duplicate run provenance, and tracking tokens can be stored in checkpoint metadata and MLflow artifacts.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: the code reads correctly and is well tested, but it is ~1004 lines and adds argparse CLI wiring to the shipped library's public API, which the owner should sign off on.

Needs action:

  • Confirm add_mlflow_args / resolve_mlflow_args / resolve_tracking_uri belong in __all__ of modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py: they take an argparse.ArgumentParser and resolve_tracking_uri exits the process via parser.error(), which is unusual for supported library API. If they are for the examples only, prefix them or keep them example-side.
  • Decide whether to split the shared extraction (mlflow.py + hf_ptq/vllm_serve delegation) from the new megatron_bridge feature, or state that ~1004 lines is acceptable as one cohesive change.
  • Handle the stale pointer in examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py: when a $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI run fails to open, log_experiment_json returns early, so an inherited .experiment.json survives next to a freshly exported checkpoint (the untracked path drops it). Same gap exists in hf_ptq.

No action needed:

  • New files match the canonical LICENSE_HEADER exactly.
  • The one test edit (test_hf_ptq_args.py) is the _EXPERIMENT_JSONEXPERIMENT_JSON rename; coverage is unchanged.

Claude review

Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 1 · SUGGESTION 1

Full-scope review (10 changed files, +861/-143). Opened all four source files (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, examples/megatron_bridge/{mlflow_utils.py,quantize.py}, examples/vllm_serve/vllm_mlflow_utils.py, examples/hf_ptq/example_utils.py); read CHANGELOG.rst and the README.md hunk; did not open the two test files or re-verify the test counts reported in the PR body.

Most impactful finding

[IMPORTANT] MlflowRunLogger.log_experiment_json leaves a stale .experiment.json when a requested run never opens (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:423). The pointer has three states and only two are covered: tracking off → drop_experiment_json(); run opened → pointer written; run requested but never opened → early return, previous run's file left next to the new weights. That third state is reachable by design — validate_tracking_uri is syntax-only, and an inherited $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI is deliberately required=False, so mlflow simply not being installed (it is an optional dependency) or a briefly unreachable server silently disables the run. Re-exporting into a reused --export_megatron_path / --export_path then produces a checkpoint confidently naming a run that did not write it — exactly what drop_experiment_json's docstring exists to prevent. Pre-existing in hf_ptq, but this PR both centralizes the logic (so one fix covers everything) and extends the exposure to megatron_bridge. Suggested patch is in the inline comment.

What checked out

  • --export_megatron_path is required=True, so the unconditional Path(args.export_megatron_path) in mlflow_run / _run_tags / _run_outputs cannot hit Path(None).
  • Rank gating is right: with tracking on, non-master ranks fall into the not logger.enabled branch and its dist.is_master() guard correctly suppresses the drop, so no rank races another on the pointer. mlflow_utils and quantize.py use the same modelopt.torch.utils.distributed, so dist.size() is the real world size.
  • checkpoint_exported gating is sound — set False in get_args() after print_args, flipped only after bridge.save_megatron_model returns, and excluded from _NON_PARAM_ARGS, so it never leaks into the params.
  • Ordering in __main__ is correct: the exception exits the with mlflow_run(...) block (run closed FAILED, traceback uploaded) before except BaseException: dist.abort() runs. Validation is deterministic and identical on every rank (no network call), so a bad URI cannot fail one rank while peers block in a collective.
  • .quant_summary.txt matches print_quant_summary's real output name (model_quant.py:944), and start() snapshots file stats before that file is created, so it uploads only what this run wrote.
  • Refactor is behaviour-preserving for hf_ptq: the composed help text and the required/experiment-default semantics reproduce the old inline code exactly; the new dashed aliases are purely additive. mlflow.py is not re-exported from modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py, so __all__ growing is not a public-API change. Optional-dependency laziness is intact — only stdlib is imported at module scope.
  • CHANGELOG.rst entry lands under the existing *Megatron Framework (M-LM / M-Bridge)* section; the hf_ptq README anchor the new README section links to exists.

Risk

Low. Additive, opt-in observability confined to example scripts plus one non-star-exported utility module; the untracked path is unchanged. The one IMPORTANT issue is a silent wrong-provenance edge case, not a model-correctness or export-format problem — worth fixing in the shared helper before merge since this PR is what makes that helper the single place it can be fixed.

logger.log_experiment_json so it checks logger.enabled: retain the existing

- Line 154: Update the export flow around logger.log_experiment_json so that
after a successful checkpoint export, it removes stale experiment provenance
when logger.start() failed and logger.run_info is absent. Preserve the existing

- Line 682: Update validate_tracking_uri and the MlflowRunLogger URI handling to
reject cleartext http:// tracking URIs and accept only https:// by default. If a
local-only http:// exception already exists or is required, enforce that it is
explicitly documented, excludes credentials and sensitive artifacts, and is not
applied to remote endpoints; preserve validation of the returned URI and
required flag.
- Line 426: Update the provenance flow before constructing run_info so query

Review follow-ups.

The pointer beside a checkpoint had three states and only two were handled:
tracking off dropped it, an open run rewrote it, but a run that was
configured and then never opened left the previous run's file next to
freshly exported weights. That state is reachable by design -- an
inherited $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI is best-effort, so an unreachable server
or an uninstalled client disables the run from inside the tracked block,
after the untracked cleanup was skipped. log_experiment_json now drops
the pointer when it has no run to record, so after a completed export the
file is this run's or absent. Pre-existing in hf_ptq; fixing it in the
shared helper covers all three callers.

Also: consult $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI only when --mlflow is absent, so an
explicit empty value (--mlflow "$UNSET_VAR") fails instead of silently
reaching whatever server the environment names; and export
TRACKING_URI_ENV so the vLLM launcher-to-worker handover reads the name
resolve_tracking_uri uses rather than its own copy.

The vLLM launcher warned "Ignoring $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI"; the extracted
helper had dropped the $, which reads worse and no longer matched how
the flag's own help text renders the variable. hf_ptq's warning gains the
$ with it.

@cjluo-nv thanks — taking the three items in turn.

Stale pointer — real, and fixed in 768d07e. MlflowRunLogger.log_experiment_json now drops the pointer when it has no run to record, so after a completed export the file beside the checkpoint is this run's or absent, never a previous run's. Fixing it in the shared helper covers hf_ptq and megatron_bridge at once, which is one argument for the extraction being in this PR. Note it inverts an existing hf_ptq assertion (test_no_experiment_json_when_optional_tracking_fails) that had deliberately asserted the stale file survives.

argparse helpers in __all__ — I'd keep them, but this is your call and I'll move them if you disagree:

  • mlflow.py is not star-imported by modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py, so nothing new lands in modelopt.torch.utils's namespace; __all__ here only documents the module's own surface.
  • There is precedent in the shipped library: modelopt/torch/utils/logging.py::print_args(args: argparse.Namespace) and modelopt/recipe/presets.py::RecipeSupersededAction(argparse.Action).
  • parser.error() is argparse's own contract and the caller supplies the parser; it only fires for an explicitly passed --mlflow whose URI cannot be used. A URI inherited from the environment warns and continues.
  • The alternative is a third copy of the same ~60 lines example-side, which is what the PR removes and what let the TRACKING_URI_ENV constant drift in the first place.

If you'd rather they not be supported API, the cheapest options are underscore-prefixing the three names or moving them to a modelopt/torch/utils/_mlflow_cli.py. Either is a small change — say which you prefer.

Splitting the PR — I'd keep it as one change. The extraction exists to serve the third consumer, so splitting lands a refactor with no new caller, and the two halves would have to be reviewed against each other anyway. Of the ~1000 lines, the net-new logic is small: ~150 lines of library code (mostly moved), ~150 in the new examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py, and the rest is tests plus deletions from the two existing callers.

Claude review

Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 2 · SUGGESTION 0

Full-scope review (10 changed files, +947/-151). Read all four source files (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py, examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py, examples/vllm_serve/vllm_mlflow_utils.py, examples/hf_ptq/example_utils.py) plus the surrounding context they needed (print_args, print_quant_summary, validate_tracking_uri, _redact_argv, MlflowRunLogger.start/track, the tail of quantize.py:main). Did not open the two test files or re-verify the test counts in the PR body.

Note: the shallow-checkout two-dot diff against origin/main carries unrelated MTP / example_utils churn from main having advanced; I reviewed only the 10 files GitHub lists as changed.

Resolved since the last round

The previously-raised stale .experiment.json when a requested run never opens is fixed: log_experiment_json now falls through to drop_experiment_json(checkpoint_dir) when run_info is empty, and the docstring spells out the three-state reasoning. Rank gating still checks out on both callers — the drop only runs on paths where enabled already implied master, and the untracked branches keep their explicit is_main / is_master guards, so no two ranks contend for the pointer.

Findings this round

  1. [IMPORTANT Security] print_args leaks --mlflow credentials to the console (examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py:231). resolve_mlflow_args settles args.mlflow to the validated URI two lines earlier, and print_args dumps the whole namespace unmasked. This file is the only one of the three MLflow-enabled scripts that prints its full namespace, so it is new exposure. Credentials-in-URI is a supported form here — _redact / _URI_USERINFO mask it in command_text() and in logged params, and vllm_serve._without_credentials() exists for the same reason — so --mlflow https://svc:TOKEN@host/ now prints the token into an archived torchrun log. The uploaded artifacts themselves are clean (command_text() redacts; mlflow is in _NON_PARAM_ARGS). Fix: print a masked copy, ideally via a small public mask_tracking_uri() wrapping the existing _redact.

  2. [IMPORTANT Compatibility] --mlflow "" changed from "run untracked" to "exit 2" (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:685-690). The extracted resolve_tracking_uri gates the $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI fallback on uri is None where both original copies gated on falsiness, so an empty flag value skips the fallback and reaches validate_tracking_uri("") with required=True -> parser.error(). A wrapper doing --mlflow "$MLFLOW_URI" with the variable unset previously quantized untracked and exited 0; it now dies at argparse, and for vllm_serve the server never starts. The code comment presents this as deliberate and it is defensible, but it contradicts the PR body claim "No user-visible behaviour changes for either: their flags, defaults and warning text are unchanged." Either restore the falsy check (with required = bool(uri)) or state the change in the PR body / CHANGELOG.rst.

What checked out

  • _run_outputs names .quant_summary.txt, which matches what mtq.print_quant_summary(model, output_dir) actually writes (modelopt/torch/quantization/model_quant.py:944) — the artifact will really exist.
  • --export_megatron_path is required=True, so the unconditional Path(args.export_megatron_path) in mlflow_run / _run_tags / _run_outputs cannot hit Path(None).
  • args.checkpoint_exported is set on every rank right after bridge.save_megatron_model (unconditional, not rank-gated), which is what the untracked branch checkpoint_exported and is_master() gate needs; and it is assigned in get_args() after print_args, so it pollutes neither the printed namespace nor the logged params.
  • mlflow_run is entered inside the try: that calls dist.abort(), so a fatal --mlflow on rank 0 tears down peers instead of leaving them in a collective.
  • Flag dest is unchanged for vllm_serve despite the spelling order flipping (--mlflow_experiment first now) — argparse normalises dashes and both spellings stay registered, so the FlexibleArgumentParser underscore-to-dash rewrite still resolves.
  • --mlflow is single-word, so it needs no dashed alias.
  • mlflow stays lazily imported; an untracked run touches no MLflow code.
  • CHANGELOG.rst entry is one sentence under Megatron Framework (M-LM / M-Bridge), per the convention.

Still open from the owner earlier nudge (not re-raised inline)

add_mlflow_args / resolve_mlflow_args / resolve_tracking_uri are still in the __all__ of modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py while taking an argparse.ArgumentParser and exiting the process via parser.error(). That is a public-API shape question for CODEOWNERS rather than a correctness bug, but it is unaddressed — and finding 2 is a direct consequence of that surface being shared, so it is worth settling in this PR.

Risk

Low-to-moderate. The tracking path is well factored, correctly rank-gated and opt-in — an untracked run is unchanged. Neither finding touches quantization numerics or export format. Finding 1 is a secret-handling gap worth fixing before merge; finding 2 is a small CLI regression on two shipped examples that needs either a revert or an explicit note.

quantize.py hands its whole namespace to print_args, which prints every
attribute verbatim -- including the resolved --mlflow URI. Credentials in
that URI are a supported form that this module masks everywhere else it
prints or uploads one, and a torchrun job log is routinely archived, so
the namespace now reaches print_args through masked_for_print(). The
uploaded artifacts were never affected: command_text() redacts, and
mlflow is not logged as a param. hf_ptq and vllm_serve are unaffected --
neither dumps its namespace.

Also softens the previous commit's handling of an empty --mlflow. Making
it fatal turned `--mlflow "$UNSET_VAR"` -- a wrapper script whose
variable did not resolve -- from an untracked run into exit 2 before the
model loads, which for vllm_serve means the server never starts. It now
falls back like an absent flag, but warns, so nothing happens silently
and no shipped CLI changes behaviour.

Claude review passed — no blocking issues found. LGTM

Findings

CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 0 · SUGGESTION: 3

  1. tests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.py — the new _resolved()-based tests read $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI but nothing clears it, so ~7 tests across the two new suites depend on the ambient environment. In the megatron file an inherited URI silently flips the tracked/untracked branch under test.
  2. modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:753drop_experiment_json prints a bare Warning: while every other message in the module (including its own write-side sibling) uses the [mlflow] WARNING: prefix users grep for.
  3. examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:132mlflow_run is still the third verbatim copy of the trickiest part of the wiring; the extraction stopped just short of it.

All three are non-blocking.

What I checked

  • The extraction is behaviour-preserving at both existing call sites. resolve_tracking_uri reproduces the old required = flag is not None / env-fallback / fatal-vs-warn split; add_mlflow_args yields the same dests in both spellings (--mlflow-experiment first vs --mlflow_experiment first both map to mlflow_experiment), so vLLM's FlexibleArgumentParser rewrite still reaches the flags. The only divergence is --mlflow "", which now warns and degrades to best-effort instead of staying required=True — deliberate, tested, and the safer reading of a wrapper script whose variable did not resolve.
  • One behaviour change arrives implicitly via the shared log_experiment_json, and it is a fix: when tracking was inferred from the environment and the run never opened, hf_ptq previously left a stale .experiment.json beside a freshly-exported checkpoint (the old _log_experiment_json returned early on not info). It now drops it. Worth a line in the PR description since hf_ptq users get it without asking.
  • Provenance-pointer state machine, across the four reachable states (untracked, non-master, tracked-and-opened, tracked-then-self-disabled) × (export completed / failed). The checkpoint_exported gate, the is_master gate on the untracked branch, and the enabled ⇒ is_master implication on the tracked branch line up; the pointer after a completed save is this run's or absent in every case.
  • Rank behaviour. All ranks validate the URI identically so a typo exits everywhere rather than deadlocking; MlflowRunLogger.start() can only raise on the master rank, and with mlflow_run(args) sits inside the existing try, so the finally closes the run as FAILED before dist.abort() unblocks the peers. --export_megatron_path is required=True, so the unconditional Path(args.export_megatron_path) at the top of mlflow_run cannot see None.
  • Artifact/seam details. .quant_summary.txt matches what mtq.print_quant_summary writes; it is created during the run, so the _file_stats guard uploads it rather than skipping it as a leftover. masked_for_print keeps a user:token@ URI out of the archived torchrun log while the live namespace still reaches the client. --recipe general/ptq/nvfp4_default-kv_fp8 in the README resolves to a real preset, and the hf_ptq anchor it links to exists. No help string carries a literal %, so --help is safe. mlflow stays lazily imported, and mlflow_utils.py imports no Megatron as advertised (the suite's conftest/runner defer Megatron too, so these tests collect without it).
  • Changelog is one entry, user-facing, under the existing *Megatron Framework (M-LM / M-Bridge)* sub-section.

Scope: full review. 10 files changed; I read all of modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, examples/megatron_bridge/{mlflow_utils.py,quantize.py,README.md}, examples/vllm_serve/vllm_mlflow_utils.py, the MLflow hunks of examples/hf_ptq/example_utils.py, and both new test files. Note the two-dot diff against the base tip also shows unrelated hf_ptq MTP hunks from commits on main that this branch predates — those are not part of this PR and I did not review them.

Risk: low. Additive on the megatron side; the refactor of the two existing callers is a like-for-like move with the behaviour deltas above, and the regression suites for both were re-run.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

resolve_tracking_uri consults the variable, so a shell or runner that
exports it -- the population this feature exists for -- changed what the
tests asserted. In the library suite the untracked-outcome tests failed;
in the megatron suite an inherited URI silently moved four tests onto the
tracked branch, where the real client retries against whatever host was
named and the suite hangs rather than fails. An autouse fixture now pins
the variable in all three suites, matching the one test_vllm_mlflow_utils
already had. hf_ptq had the same latent exposure and gets it too.

Also aligns drop_experiment_json's warning with the [mlflow] WARNING:
prefix every other message in the module uses, now that it is a library
function rather than an example-local helper.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: every correctness concern from the last round is fixed, but the owner's question about putting argparse helpers in the library's __all__ is still open by the author's own request.

Needs action:

  • 💬 Author replied on __all__ (not star-exported, precedent in logging.py::print_args, avoids a third copy) and asked you to pick — decide whether add_mlflow_args / resolve_mlflow_args / resolve_tracking_uri stay public in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py or move to _mlflow_cli.py.
  • 💬 Author argued ~1200 lines is one cohesive change since the extraction exists to serve the third caller — confirm you accept the size rather than splitting the mlflow.py extraction out.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the stale .experiment.json on a silently-disabled run (now handled in MlflowRunLogger.log_experiment_json with tests in all three suites), the --mlflow credential leak via print_args (mask_tracking_uri + masked_for_print), the --mlflow "" CLI regression, the TRACKING_URI_ENV duplication, and the ambient-$MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI test flakiness (new clean_env fixtures).
  • Design is consolidation of the existing mlflow.py subsystem, not a second system; the CodeRabbit security findings were withdrawn or deferred with rationale.

Three call sites now justify what was still copied between the examples:

- track_run() replaces the mlflow_run skeleton duplicated in hf_ptq and
  megatron_bridge -- logger, the untracked drop_experiment_json branch,
  and the track()/log_experiment_json tail. The invariants it encodes
  (an untracked run must not gather what it will not upload; a run whose
  optional URI dies mid-flight must still clear an inherited pointer)
  now live in one place with their own tests.
- checkpoint_run_tags() replaces the model / checkpoint_path /
  source_checkpoint_path schema the evaluation side joins on, which was
  spelled out in two files.
- resolved_recipe_texts() replaces the load_recipe -> resolved_recipe.yaml
  block in three files, including vllm_serve.
- masked_args() replaces megatron_bridge's masked_for_print, which was
  never Megatron-specific.

Each example keeps what is genuinely its own: the flag wording, which
args name the model and the export dir, the summary files, the rank
source, and vllm_serve's launcher-to-worker env handover.

@cjluo-nv — done in ac9812e, answering your Slack question directly: yes, all four of those moved into modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py. A thin per-example module still has to exist, but it is now genuinely thin.

Moved into the library

New Replaces
track_run(logger, checkpoint_dir, is_main, exported, describe) the ~75-line mlflow_run skeleton duplicated in hf_ptq and megatron_bridge
checkpoint_run_tags(source_model, checkpoint_dir) the model / checkpoint_path / source_checkpoint_path schema, spelled out twice
resolved_recipe_texts(recipe) the load_reciperecipe/resolved_recipe.yaml block in three files, vllm_serve included
masked_args(args) masked_for_print, which was never Megatron-specific

Net −126 lines from the examples, +89 in the library. examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py is down to 137 lines, of which mlflow_run is a logger plus a track_run(...) call.

Stayed example-side, as your bot called out: the flag help wording and variant naming, which args name the model and the export dir, the summary-file list, the rank source (dist.is_master() vs args.dist_state.is_main), and vllm_serve's launcher→worker env handover. vllm_serve's tags also stay local — it serves a checkpoint rather than producing one, so source_checkpoint_path has no meaning there and checkpoint_run_tags would add a misleading key.

Two things worth knowing:

  • The invariants that skeleton encodes now have direct tests in tests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.py rather than only indirect ones: the pointer matrix (exported × is_main × tracked), that exported is read on the way out (the flag is flipped by the work inside the block), and that an untracked run never calls describe. That suite is at 95.
  • While doing it I reintroduced a bug and the tests caught it: spreading the describe dict inline called _mlflow_run_inputs twice, which re-reads the recipe and prints a second [load_recipe] loading: line on every tracked run. Both examples gather once now.

This also settles your earlier __all__ question in the direction of more library API, which is what asking for this consolidation implies — say the word if you would rather the argparse-facing names be underscored instead.

Suites: 95 (library) / 47 (hf_ptq) / 32 (vllm_serve) / 22 (megatron_bridge), all re-run with a hostile MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI exported.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: the requested hoisting into modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py is done and correct, but the public-API question is still the owner's to settle and one new layering issue surfaced.

Needs action:

  • Move from modelopt.recipe import load_recipe in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py into resolved_recipe_texts, or say why module scope is fine: modelopt.recipe imports modelopt.torch.quantization.config, so this util now pulls the quantization stack and would cycle the moment mlflow is star-exported from modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py.
  • 💬 Author replied that the consolidation settles __all__ toward more library API — decide whether track_run, checkpoint_run_tags, resolved_recipe_texts, masked_args and the argparse helpers stay public or move to a private _mlflow_cli.py.
  • Confirm ~1472 lines across 10 files is acceptable as one cohesive change rather than splitting the library extraction from the megatron_bridge feature.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the duplicated mlflow_run skeleton, tags, recipe-artifact and masking helpers are now shared; both examples delegate and the invariants have direct library tests.
  • The one inverted hf_ptq assertion matches the documented behaviour change.

Apply the main-rank gate before starting tracking.

The current callers disable the logger on non-main ranks. However, track_run is exported and its contract states that is_main gates tracking writes. If a caller supplies an enabled logger with is_main=False, the tracked branch opens an MLflow run and writes .experiment.json after export. Gate the branch here.

The chain recipe -> modelopt.torch.quantization.config is real, but it
does not close a cycle: mlflow.py is not re-exported from
modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py, so nothing imports back into it. Nor
does it pull the quantization stack in -- utils.logging, which this
module already imported, loads it and 335 other modelopt modules; recipe
adds five.

Star-exporting mlflow would close the cycle, so the note also goes where
someone would make that change rather than only beside the import.

Recording a measurement for the from modelopt.recipe import load_recipe at module scope in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, since it has come up and the two halves of the concern resolve differently. Documented in ec70967.

"It pulls the quantization stack into a util" — it does not. mlflow.py already imported modelopt.torch.utils.logging, and that alone loads 336 modelopt modules with modelopt.torch.quantization among them. Adding modelopt.recipe takes it to 341:

import modelopt, modelopt.torch.utils.logging   # what this module imported before
  -> 336 modelopt modules, quantization already loaded: True

import modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow              # after
  -> 341 modelopt modules, quantization already loaded: True

"It would cycle if mlflow were star-exported from modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py" — correct. Verified by adding from .mlflow import * there:

modelopt.torch.utils         ImportError: cannot import name 'apply_mode' from
modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow    partially initialized module 'modelopt.torch.opt'
modelopt.recipe              ImportError: cannot import name 'load_recipe' from
modelopt.torch                 partially initialized module 'modelopt.recipe'

So there is no cycle today — the chain only closes if something re-exports this module, and nothing does. The repo convention is imports at module scope unless they are optional or actually circular, so it stays at the top with the reason written down, and the note also lives in modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py where that star-export would be added rather than only beside the import.

One property worth keeping in mind for that trade-off: the hypothetical failure is loud, not silent. import modelopt.torch stops working outright, so the first test collected in CI catches it — unlike a deferred import, which would quietly hide the constraint and let the coupling grow.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py was the only module in the package
importing a higher layer at module scope. distributed.py, random.py,
dataset_utils.py and speech_dataset_utils.py all defer theirs with a
one-line reason, because modelopt.torch.nas and
modelopt.torch.quantization import modelopt.torch.utils back.

This one avoided the cycle only because mlflow.py is not re-exported from
__init__.py, which is a trap rather than a reason: adding
`from .mlflow import *` there broke every modelopt.torch import with a
partially-initialized module. With the import deferred it does not, so
the module is re-exportable like its neighbours and the NOTE warning
against that is no longer needed.

Correcting my previous comment: the modelopt.recipe import is deferred into resolved_recipe_texts after all, in e883803. My defence of module scope was answering the wrong question.

The measurements I posted still hold — the import adds 5 modules to an already-336-module baseline, and the cycle was conditional on a star-export nobody had made. What I failed to check is how this package already handles that dependency direction:

modelopt/torch/utils/distributed.py:331          from modelopt.torch.quantization.utils...  (in-function)
modelopt/torch/utils/random.py:80,113,139        from modelopt.torch.nas import random      (in-function)

modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:53                from modelopt.recipe import load_recipe    (module scope) <- the only one

distributed.py even states the reason: "Lazy import: layerwise_calib imports this module at top level (circular)." Both modelopt.torch.nas and modelopt.torch.quantization import modelopt.torch.utils back, so every one of these is the same situation as mine. Mine escaped only because mlflow.py is not re-exported from __init__.py — a property of how the module is wired up today, not a property of the dependency. That is a trap for whoever adds from .mlflow import * for consistency, which is exactly what the earlier comment predicted.

With the import deferred, that trap is gone — I re-ran the experiment and modelopt.torch.utils, modelopt.torch and modelopt.recipe all import cleanly with the star-export added, where previously all three failed. So the NOTE: I had put in modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py warning against re-exporting is deleted too; that file is back to untouched.

Suites unchanged: 95 (library) / 47 (hf_ptq) / 32 (vllm_serve) / 22 (megatron_bridge).

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: the lazy-import fix is in and the code reads correctly, but at 686 lines of core logic this is over the 500-line budget and the public-API question is still the owner's to settle.

Needs action:

  • ✂️ Split this PR into stacked [x/N] PRs — 686 core-logic lines (271 in modelopt/, 415 in examples/) is over the 500-line budget. Suggested: [1/3] the shared helpers in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py + unit tests; [2/3] migrate examples/hf_ptq and examples/vllm_serve to delegate; [3/3] the new examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py, quantize.py wiring, README and changelog. Merge in that order, each standing alone with its own tests, siblings linked.
  • 💬 Author replied that the consolidation settles __all__ toward more library API — decide whether track_run, add_mlflow_args, resolve_mlflow_args, resolve_tracking_uri, masked_args stay public or move to a private _mlflow_cli.py.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: modelopt.recipe is now imported inside resolved_recipe_texts with the circular-import reason recorded, and modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py is back to untouched.
  • track_run relies on callers setting enabled = uri and is_master(); both do, so CodeRabbit's extra is_main gate is defensive only.
