Backend dispatch and export each kept their own list of IQ formats: _FAKE_QUANTS in the backend, and IQ_FORMATS, IQ_BLOCK_METADATA and IQ_PACKERS in export. All four enumerated the same formats, so adding one meant a row in each, and the lists could drift -- the way convert_hf_config's own upper-case spelling of the family already had. Each format module now declares a single IQFormat record next to its encoder and decoder: name, block geometry, quantize, dequantize, and its encode and decode chunk defaults. IQ_FORMAT_REGISTRY lists them. Backend dispatch looks formats up there, both exporters take the packer and block geometry from it, and export's IQ_FORMATS is derived from it rather than written out again. IQ_BLOCK_METADATA, IQ_PACKERS and _FAKE_QUANTS go away. The three near-identical per-format fake-quant wrappers collapse into one IQFormat.fake_quant that does the num_bits check and calls the existing cache helper. iq1_s_fake_quant and iq2_xs_fake_quant are public on main, so each format keeps its <fmt>_fake_quant name as an alias of its record's method. The registry is an explicit list, not formats registering themselves on import, so its contents never depend on which modules were imported first. Because dispatch now resolves through the registry, that is where tests substitute an encoder or decoder; patching the format module's function would no longer reach it. The backend tests that did so move to the registry, and while there, stop being hard-wired to IQ1_S and IQ2_XS -- IQ2_XXS had no backend, cache or packed-once coverage. Their expected values still come from each format's own module, not the registry, so a mis-wired entry cannot make both sides of an assertion agree. New tests guard the registry itself: every encoder the package exports is registered, each record points at its own format's codec and constants, the public alias is the registered record's method, export's IQ_FORMATS and name constants match the registry, and every registered format is listed in the shared test batteries. Leaving IQ2_XXS out of the registry, or registering it with the IQ2_XS encoder, each fails the guard written for it.

Two review follow-ups on the registry change. test_ggml_decode_is_invariant_to_chunk_size in test_ggml_backend.py and test_decode_is_invariant_to_chunk_size in test_iq_formats.py make the same check -- same seed, weight, chunk sizes and assertion. They only became true duplicates here: the backend copy used to cover IQ1_S and IQ2_XS alone, and running it over the registry gave it the same reach as the shared one. Keep the copy in test_iq_formats.py, which owns the contract every format shares. test_registry_lists_every_exported_encoder imported the ggml package inside the test body for no reason; the module already imports from that package at module scope, so move it there and let an import error surface at collection.

Nudge: the refactor is clean and well-guarded by new registry tests, but it stacks on the unmerged #2511 and the one shared num_bits guard it introduces is untested.
Needs action:
- Confirm merge order with #2511 — this PR deletes
IQ_BLOCK_METADATA/IQ_PACKERS/_FAKE_QUANTSthat #2511 introduces and is still under review, so it cannot land first. - Add a test that
IQFormat.fake_quantraises whenquantizer.num_bitsnames another format (modelopt/torch/quantization/ggml/common.py) — the three per-format copies of that guard collapsed into one and nothing exercises it. - Confirm in the PR body that registering a format for dispatch should automatically claim export support, now that
IQ_FORMATSis derived from the registry (modelopt/torch/export/quant_format.py:49).
No action needed:
- Both removed tests are justified:
test_ggml_decode_is_invariant_to_chunk_sizeduplicatedtest_iq_formats.py, andtest_iq_block_metadata_matches_the_codecis replaced by_geometryplustest_registry_record_is_wired_to_its_own_codec. - Registry design (explicit dict of frozen
IQFormatrecords) is the simplest thing that works; no existing in-repo registry covers this.

Bot comment.
This guard replaces three per-format copies of the same check, and I can't find a test that hits it — test_ggml_backend_rejects_unknown_format only covers the dispatcher's own error. A parametrized case over IQ_FORMAT_REGISTRY calling record.fake_quant(x, SimpleNamespace(num_bits=<other format>)) and asserting the requires num_bits= message would pin it cheaply.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in 789ea021c: test_format_fake_quant_rejects_another_formats_quantizer in test_ggml_backend.py calls each record's fake_quant with a quantizer set to another format and matches the exact message. With the guard removed, those 3 cases fail and nothing else does. I also tightened the dispatcher test to match "requires num_bits in", so it can't be satisfied by this guard's message.

Bot comment.
Deriving IQ_FORMATS from the registry means any format registered for backend dispatch is automatically declared exportable by both exporters and by convert_hf_config. That is fine today since every record carries a packer and geometry, but it removes the ability to land a QAT-only format ahead of its export path. Worth stating that as intended in the PR body.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, that's intended. 789ea021c adds a comment above IQ_FORMATS in quant_format.py saying so, and the PR body now has a design-choice bullet. The reason: fake quant is dequantize(quantize(w)), so a format can't be dispatched without the packer and block geometry, and those are all export reads. A QAT-only IQ format can't exist.

Bot comment.
Note the alias now captures quantize_iq1_s/dequantize_iq1_s at record-construction time, so monkeypatch.setattr(iq1_s, "quantize_iq1_s", ...) no longer affects iq1_s_fake_quant either — not just dispatch. The in-repo tests were updated, but the comment above only mentions dispatch; extending it to say the module-level function is no longer a patch seam at all would save the next reader a debugging session.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Documented in 789ea021c. The comment above each <fmt>_fake_quant alias (iq1_s.py, iq2_xs.py, iq2_xxs.py) now says that patching the module functions changes neither dispatch nor the alias, and points to IQ_FORMAT_REGISTRY as the place to substitute. The PR body lists this as the one behaviour change from main.

Review follow-ups on the format registry. IQFormat.fake_quant refuses a quantizer configured for another format, but nothing exercised that guard. The only test matching "requires num_bits" goes through the dispatcher, which picks the record by num_bits and so can never reach it; the test's match was loose enough to accept either message, which made it look like coverage. The three per-format guards this replaced were untested on main too. Add a test that calls each record with another format's quantizer and checks that format's exact message, and tighten the dispatcher test to its own wording. Removing the guard now fails all three new cases. Two comments now say what the design implies. In quant_format.py: registering a format declares it exportable, and that is intended -- fake quant is dequantize(quantize(w)), so a format cannot be dispatched without the packer and block geometry that are all export reads. Above each <fmt>_fake_quant alias: the record captured the format's encoder and decoder when it was built, so patching the module functions reaches neither dispatch nor the alias. On main that alias looked the encoder up at call time, so this is a behaviour change for anyone who patched it.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
All three prior concerns are resolved and the registry refactor reads correctly — the only thing left is a human nod on two deleted tests.
Needs action:
- Sign off on the two removed tests in
tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_ggml_backend.pyandtests/unit/torch/export/test_convert_hf_config.py— both look justified (see below), but a human should confirm before merge.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: merge order with #2511 (merged, branch rebased), the untested
IQFormat.fake_quantnum_bitsguard (nowtest_format_fake_quant_rejects_another_formats_quantizer, with the dispatcher test tightened torequires num_bits in), and the "registry implies exportable" rationale (comment atquant_format.pyplus a PR-body bullet). - Test-removal justification:
test_ggml_decode_is_invariant_to_chunk_sizeduplicated the copy intest_iq_formats.pyonce both ran over the registry;test_iq_block_metadata_matches_the_codecis replaced by_geometry+test_registry_record_is_wired_to_its_own_codec+test_export_formats_are_the_registered_formats, so geometry-vs-codec coverage is intact. - ~220 lines of core logic, under the size budget;

What does this PR do?
Type of change: refactor (no behaviour change)
Addresses review feedback on #2511. Backend dispatch and export each kept their own list of the GGML IQ formats:
_FAKE_QUANTSin the backend, andIQ_FORMATS,IQ_BLOCK_METADATAandIQ_PACKERSin export. All four listed the same formats. Adding a format meant a row in each, and the lists could drift apart. That had already happened twice in #2511:convert_hf_config.pykept its own upper-case spelling of the family and dropped IQ2_XXS metadata, and the Megatron export tests were hard-wired to two formats.Each format module now declares one
IQFormatrecord beside its encoder and decoder: name, block geometry,quantize,dequantize, and its encode and decode chunk defaults.IQ_FORMAT_REGISTRYlists them.IQ_FORMATSis derived from it instead of being written out again._FAKE_QUANTS,IQ_BLOCK_METADATAandIQ_PACKERSare removed.IQFormat.fake_quant, which does thenum_bitscheck and calls the existing cache helper.Codebooks, searches, payload layouts and CUDA encoders stay in each format's module.
Series and merge order
This is one slice of the IQ format series. It targets
mainso unit CI runs, and its diff includes #2511's commits until #2511 merges.After this lands, #2512 and #2513 are restacked onto it, so each adds a format module and a single registry entry instead of rows in four tables.
Design choices
iq1_s_fake_quantandiq2_xs_fake_quantare public on main, so each format keeps its<fmt>_fake_quantname as an alias of its record's method. The three removed tables were introduced by Add the IQ2_XXS weight-only quantization format #2511 and never released. The behaviour change: on main, the alias looked the encoder up at call time, so patchingiq1_s.quantize_iq1_schanged what it ran. Now the record captures the encoder and decoder when it's built, so patching those module functions reaches neither dispatch nor the alias. Substitute throughIQ_FORMAT_REGISTRYinstead.IQ_FORMATSis derived from the registry, so a format registered for dispatch is also claimed by both exporters andconvert_hf_config. That can't be wrong for an IQ format: fake quant isdequantize(quantize(w)), so a format can't be dispatched without the packer and block geometry, and those are all export reads. A QAT-only IQ format can't exist. If one ever needs to land ahead of its export path, anexportableflag on the record is a one-line addition.quantize_<fmt>,<FMT>_BLOCK_BYTES, …). A mis-wired registry entry therefore can't make both sides of an assertion agree.What it does not unify
The CUDA side (
ggml.cppbindings, theextensions.pysource list, codebook sizes incommon.cuh) and the recipes and docs remain per format. "One registration" holds for the Python side, which is where all four tables lived.Usage
Adding a format after this PR (for example IQ2_S in #2512) needs its module and one line in the registry:

The three per-format guards it replaced were untested on main.Checked by mutation: leaving IQ2_XXS out of the registry, or registering it with the IQ2_XS encoder, each fails the guard written for that case.
Coverage gap closed along the way:
test_ggml_backend.pywas hard-wired to IQ1_S and IQ2_XS, so IQ2_XXS had no backend, cache or packed-once coverage. Those tests now run over the registry.Before your PR is "Ready for review"
