Fix KeyError: experts.w13_input_scale when loading the official NVIDIA DeepSeek-V4-Flash-NVFP4 checkpoint on DGX Spark GB10 (sm_121a).

Problem

DeepseekV4FP8Config.get_quant_method assumed expert_dtype="fp4" ≡ MXFP4 and always returned Mxfp4MoEMethod, which registers single-level E8M0 scales. The nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-NVFP4 checkpoint is NVFP4-modelopt (3 scales per expert: weight_scale, weight_scale_2, input_scale), so weight loading failed with KeyError: layers.0.ffn.experts.w13_input_scale.

Solution

Detect NVFP4 experts via moe_quant_algo in config.json. When moe_quant_algo=NVFP4, route the MoE expert layer to the existing ModelOptNvFp4FusedMoE (from modelopt.py) which correctly registers the two-level scales. Linear/attention/shared_expert layers remain FP8 block via Fp8Config base — only the expert MoE method is swapped.

Testing

Validated on 2× DGX Spark GB10 (sm_121a), TP=2, no Ray: model loads 46/46 shards, API responds, generation coherent ~28 tok/s. Backend: FlashInfer CUTLASS NVFP4. w1.weight_scale_2 must match w3.weight_scale_2 warning confirmed harmless (0% diff across 768 expert samples).

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-NVFP4 (NVIDIA modelopt) sets expert_dtype=fp4 but its
MoE experts are NVFP4 (weight_scale_2 + input_scale), not MXFP4.
DeepseekV4FP8Config previously always used Mxfp4MoEMethod for fp4
experts, causing KeyError: experts.w13_input_scale on GB10 (sm_121).

Detect moe_quant_algo==NVFP4 and use the existing
ModelOptNvFp4FusedMoE for experts while keeping FP8 block for
linear/attn. Adjust weights mapper to not apply the MXFP4 .scale
rename to NVFP4 per-expert keys.
