Fix the llm_eval README commands that no longer run as written - #2358
Conversation
Audit of examples/llm_eval docs against the current scripts (nvbug 6701343): - T5: `--model hf-seq2seq` is not a registered lm-eval backend in any supported version (>= 0.4.12). HFLM detects encoder-decoder models from config.json, so use `--model hf` and mention `backend=seq2seq` as the override for checkpoints it cannot classify. - auto_quantize: `FP8_DEFAULT_CFG|NVFP4_DEFAULT_CFG` was shown as a literal value, but each comma-separated entry is resolved with `getattr(mtq, ...)` and that name does not exist. Show a valid list and spell out the choices. - `vllm serve --quantization modelopt` was missing its line continuation, so `--port` ran as a separate command. - Drop the stray `cd ..` from the MMLU setup: it leaves examples/llm_eval, where both mmlu.py and its default `--data_dir data/mmlu` live. - Document run_simple_eval.sh's optional fifth argument (`--examples`), which hf_ptq/scripts/huggingface_example.sh already passes. Also add the missing `openai` requirement: modeling.py imports it unconditionally and `lm_eval[api]` only supplies tiktoken, so the documented mmlu.py commands failed on a clean install. The reported mmlu.py comma-splitting issue was not reproducible -- fire already parses `A,B,NONE` into a tuple. A single format does arrive as a str and gets iterated character by character, so normalize that in quantization_utils instead, which covers both example scripts.

The README corrections align with the current scripts, the string normalization fixes the single-format auto-quantize path without disrupting Fire's tuple/list input, and adding openai resolves the unconditional import in modeling.py. The change is small and was directly exercised across the affected command paths.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Trim comma-separated quantization formats before lookup.
When a caller passes "W4A8_AWQ_BETA_CFG, FP8_DEFAULT_CFG", split(",") leaves a leading space on the second token. getattr(mtq, quant_fmt) then raises AttributeError. Strip each token and reject empty tokens before resolving the format. Add a regression test for quoted values containing spaces.
Proposed fix
- quant_cfg = quant_cfg.split(",")
+ quant_cfg = [fmt.strip() for fmt in quant_cfg.split(",")]
+ if any(not fmt for fmt in quant_cfg):
+ raise ValueError("quant_cfg contains an empty format")📝 Committable suggestion

Type of change: Documentation (plus one small example-script fix)
An audit of
examples/llm_eval/README.mdagainst the current scripts (nvbug 6701343) found several documented commands that no longer run as written:--model hf-seq2seqis not a registered lm-eval backend in any version this example supports — the string does not appear in the 0.4.12 or 0.4.13 wheels, so the command fails at model lookup.HFLMdetects encoder-decoder models fromconfig.json, so the example now uses--model hfand mentionsbackend=seq2seqas the override for checkpoints lm-eval cannot classify. No ModelOpt-side change was needed: encoder-decoder calibration already works (verified below).FP8_DEFAULT_CFG|NVFP4_DEFAULT_CFGwas shown as a literal value in both README locations, but each comma-separated entry is resolved withgetattr(mtq, ...)and that name does not exist. Now shows a valid list, spells out the choices, and names the placeholder consistently with the surrounding block.vllm serve. A missing line continuation meant--portran as a separate shell command.cd ..left over from the 0.11 examples release. It leavesexamples/llm_eval, where bothmmlu.pyand its default--data_dir data/mmlulive;hf_ptq/scripts/huggingface_example.shcorrectly stays put throughout its MMLU flow, so the README was the only thing out of step.run_simple_eval.sh. Documented the optional fifth argument (--examples), whichhuggingface_example.shalready passes as$SIMPLE_EVAL_LIMIT.Two changes beyond the docs:
quantization_utils.py: underauto_quantize, aquant_cfgstring was iterated character by character, so a single format failed with the bafflingAttributeError: module 'modelopt.torch.quantization' has no attribute 'F'. Normalizedstr -> listat the point the list is consumed, which covers bothmmlu.pyandlm_eval_hf.pyrather than one caller. This also honors the existingstr | list[str]annotation.requirements.txt: added the missingopenai.modeling.pyimports it unconditionally andlm_eval[api]supplies onlytiktoken, so every documentedmmlu.pycommand died withModuleNotFoundErroron a clean install of the stated requirements.Note on the filed report: its item 3 claimed
mmlu.pyfails to split the comma-separated config list. That does not reproduce —mmlu.pyusesfire, which already parsesA,B,NONEinto a tuple, and the unmodified script completesauto_quantizefine. Applying the suggestedquant_cfg.split(",")would have broken the documented command withAttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'split'. Thequantization_utils.pychange above addresses the real adjacent defect instead. Pushback recorded on the bug.Usage
No new API or flag. The corrected commands:
Testing
Ran on 2x RTX 6000 Ada with a tiny Qwen3 and a locally synthesized MMLU tree (no download):
mmlu.py --auto_quantize_bitswith the documented comma-separated list — completes quantization on both the unpatched and patched script, confirming the reported item 3 is a false positive. Probedfiredirectly: bare, quoted and--flag=valueforms all yield('W4A8_AWQ_BETA_CFG', 'FP8_DEFAULT_CFG', 'NONE').mmlu.py --auto_quantize_bitswith a single format — proved the new guard fires by reverting it: without the change the run dies withAttributeError: module 'modelopt.torch.quantization' has no attribute 'F'; with it, the run reaches a legitimate domain assertion (effective_bits 4.8cannot be below FP8's 8 bits).FP8_DEFAULT_CFGthroughquantize_modeland confirmed encoder, decoder and cross-attention (EncDecAttention) layers all calibrate with real amax values. This is what settled keeping the T5 example rather than deleting it.vllm servesnippet — parsed the fixed block withbash;--quantization,--portand--tensor-parallel-sizenow all belong to one command.run_simple_eval.sh— confirmed the 4-arg form is unchanged and the 5-arg form emits--examples 16.ruff-check,ruff-format,markdownlint-cli2,typos,bandit,mypy,requirements-txt-fixer,mixed-line-endingall pass.Before your PR is "Ready for review"
CONTRIBUTING.md: ✅ — addedopenaitoexamples/llm_eval/requirements.txt; it is Apache 2.0 (permissive), so no codeowners exception is needed. It is not a new runtime dependency of the library, andrun_simple_eval.shalreadypip installs it.mmlu.pycannot be imported withoutopenai/rwkv/tiktoken, so a hermetic unit test would need more stub scaffolding than the line it guards; verified by direct execution instead, as above.Additional Information
Fixes nvbug 6701343 / OMNIML-5806. Item 3 of the filed report is a false positive; pushback and evidence are recorded in a comment on the bug.
