When retrieving the quantization method for MOE (e.g., the quantization
file of DeepSeek v3.2 exp do not match the model's naming convention in
eager mode), a KeyError is raised: "model.layers.3.mlp.experts.weight
not in self.quant_description". However the quantization file is like :
```bash
"model.layers.3.mlp.experts.255.gate_proj.weight": "W8A8_DYNAMIC",
"model.layers.3.mlp.experts.255.gate_proj.weight_scale": "W8A8_DYNAMIC",
"model.layers.3.mlp.experts.255.gate_proj.weight_offset": "W8A8_DYNAMIC",

### What this PR does / why we need it?
**Problem Description:**
The existing implementation for the w4a8-dynamic linear method only
supports the old quantization format from msmodelslim. When attempting
to load models quantized with the new version, vLLM encounters errors
due to mismatched tensor shapes and unprocessed quantization parameters.
Relavant issues:
- https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3192
- https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3152
**Proposed Changes:**
1. Add support for w4a8 dynamic(new format) in
AscendW4A8DynamicLinearMethod and TorchairAscendW4A8DynamicLinearMethod
2. Add unit tests and e2e tests for w4a8 dynamic new and old format
models
<details>
<summary><b>details</b></summary>
1. **Support for new w4a8-dynamic format:**
* Detects quantization format by reading the "version" field in
quant_description to ensure backward compatibility.
* Handles the new pre-packed weight format (`2x int4` in an `int8`),
which has a halved dimension. It tells the vLLM loader how to unpack it
using `_packed_dim` and `_packed_factor`.
* Supports the new `scale_bias` parameter, setting its shape based on
the layer type, as required by msmodelslim. For api consistency and
future use, the `layer_type` parameter was also added to other
quantization methods.
* Updates the weight processing logic: new format weights are handled
with `.view(torch.int32)` since they're pre-packed, while old ones are
processed with `npu_convert_weight_to_int4pack`.
2. **New unit and E2E tests:**
* Added unit tests that verify the logic for both the old and new
formats.
* Split the distributed E2E test to confirm that both old and new format
models work correctly.
</details>
Theoretically, these changes will provide support for all common new
version w4a8(dynamic) models from msmodelslim.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
no
### How was this patch tested?
I implement relevant unit tests and e2e tests and test the changes with
following commands:
```bash
# unit tests
python -m pytest tests/ut/quantization/test_w4a8_dynamic.py tests/ut/torchair/quantization/test_torchair_w4a8_dynamic.py -v
# e2e tests

pytest tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_DeepSeek_W4A8DYNAMIC -v -s
```
I also tested Hunyuan-1.8B-Instruct quantized with the new w4a8-dynamic
format:
```
vllm serve ./models/Hunyuan-1.8B-Instruct-quantized --gpu-memory-utilization 0.96 --quantization ascend --max-model-len 9600 --seed 0 --max-num-batched-tokens 16384
```
All tests mentioned passed locally.
**NOTE: I use quantization model from my own repo in
test_offline_inference_distributed.py**. Here is the description:
[Anionex/Qwen3-1.7B-W4A8-V1](https://modelscope.cn/models/Anionex/Qwen3-1.7B-W4A8-V1/summary)
(including quantization steps).This should be replaced by a model in
vllm-ascend ci modelscope repo.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Currently, when executing to the Linear layer of models in vLLM-Ascend,
the weights format is ND in unquantized case and skipped ascend case.
This PR supplements the execution logic for Linear layer. We use a new
global variable: VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_NZ. When VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_NZ=1 and
CANN version is 8.3, the weights of the Linear layer will be converted
to FRACTAL_NZ, in both unquantized case and skipped ascend case. We also
use VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_NZ to control the existing NZ conversion, such as
w8a8-quantized case.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Add a new global variable VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_NZ. If you want to use NZ
format, you should set VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_NZ=1.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
The deepseek w4a8 weights we supported before were in mindie-format
format. It uses int8 to represent int4, so the weight size is similar to
w8a8, and we need to do a few extra steps to make vllm-ascend load it
normally.
Now we can directly use the new weight format, which uses two int4 packs
to save the weight, the weight size is reduced, and there is no need to
do many extra operations to directly use it on vllm-ascend, but we are
also compatible with the weights of the previous mindie format.
The weight changes in the new version:
1. The weight is packed (2 int4 pack to int8)
2. The bias required in the apply method is directly generated by
modelslim

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Adding `W4A8_DYNAMIC` quantization support for linear.
Dense models like Qwen3 can infer with `W4A8_DYNAMIC` quantization.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
None
### How was this patch tested?
Adding ut case in `tests/ut/quantization/test_w4a8_dynamic.py`
Adding e2e case in
`tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_Qwen3_W4A8DYNAMIC`
to test qwen3 w4a8_dynamic quantized model
Note the w4a8_dynamic quantized model is quantized by `msit/msmodelslim`
of commit `d0abb0a47e1f1a473b866ad41b737fbc28fb1409`
1. Generate `W4A8_DYNAMIC` quantization weights using `msmodelslim`
```shell
git clone https://gitee.com/ascend/msit.git
cd msit/msmodelslim
git checkout d0abb0a47e1f1a473b866ad41b737fbc28fb1409
bash install.sh
```
2. Serve model using `vllm`
```shell
VLLM_USE_V1=1 python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model vllm-ascend/Qwen3-8B-W4A8 \
--port 8000 \
--quantization ascend \

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Add EPLB expert map import capabilities
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
When importing the EPLB expert map you need import expert map file by
vllm args additional_config
### How was this patch tested?
1.You need to collect expert hotness and generate an expert placement
file based on the hotness and the EPLB algorithm, or you can directly
use an existing expert placement table.
2.When launching vLLM, enable EC2 and pass the configuration via the
command-line argument:
--additional-config '{"expert_map_path": "/xxx/xxx/xx.json"}

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR fixes two accuracy bugs incurred by PR #819 when running
deepseekv3 series models:
1. #819 adds `all_to_all` communication in quantized cases, but
`all_gather` && `reduce_scatter` are removed in both of quantized and
unquantized cases. When running unquantized deepseekv3 models with
`ep_size == world_size`, the moe modules fail to communicate. Therefore,
this PR adds `all_to_all` communication on unquantized situation to
solve this accuracy issue.
2. Use `ep_size` rather than `dp_size` to decide whether to use
`all_to_all` in moe.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.
### How was this patch tested?
CI passed with new added/existing test.

For online serving, "ascend" quantization method is not a choice
natively, so we need to add "ascend" quantization method to quantization
methods list and the user can enable quantization using "vllm serve
--quantization ascend" command.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. This PR introduces native `all_to_all` communication operator to fix
`allgather` bugs when dp_size > 1. Besides, it adds a naive
implementation of force-load-balance when doing profile runs.
2. The operator `npu_dequant_swiglu_quant` only supports input
hidden_states with dtype `torch.int32`. This tensor occupies space of
`global_bs * seq_len * topk * hidden_size`, which might be very large as
`ep_size` grows. Therefore we need to disable this operator and use
original `swiglu` && `quantize`.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
After discussed with MindStudio about the quantization model format, we
decide to support another quant format which may used in new modelslim
tool, in which case, `quantization_config` may be removed from the
`config.json` file and `quant_model_description.json` will be used for
quantization configuration.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Add a `VLLMAscendQuantizer` to support w8a8 static (W8A8) and dynamic on
linear and moe (W8A8_DYNAMIC), the quantizer will be enable if a model
has [quantize
filed](https://huggingface.co/vllm-ascend/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8/blob/main/config.json#L27).
If MindIE Turbo is installed, the MindIE Turbo Quantizer will apply,
otherwise will use VLLMAscendQuantizer directly.
- This patch fix installation docs to make installation work
- This patch enable norm quantization by patch `RMSNorm.__init__`,
`RMSNorm.forward_oot`, `NPUModelRunnerBase.load_model`
- Add `AscendW8A8LinearMethod` for W8A8
- Add `AscendW8A8DynamicLinearMethod` and
`AscendW8A8DynamicFusedMoEMethod` for W8A8_DYNAMIC
- Add a e2e test for `vllm-ascend/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8`
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, support w8a8 quantization. After this patch supported, users can
use below commands to run w8a8 models:
```
vllm serve /root/.cache/modelscope/hub/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-w8a8 --served-model-name "qwen2.5-7B"
```
### How was this patch tested?
0. CI passed: add e2e test for `vllm-ascend/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8`
1. From @Yikun:
I test Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8 for functional test all is well, pls
refer to
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/580#issuecomment-2816747613
2. From @dingdingchaomian :
Use qwen2.5-72b-instruct model and deepseek-v2-lite-chat tested, both
models were quantized using Ascend's msmodelslim tool:
- Qwen2.5-72b-instruct were tested twice, one for w8a8 static and one
for w8a8 dynamic.
- Deepseek-v2-lite-chat were tested once because its quantization used
both static and dynamic w8a8.
Models were tested using both off line inference and online serving, and
both work well. The inference codes are exactly the same with the
examples in
https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html, with
model path and tensor parallel number changed.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
It fixes following bugs:
1. When searching a specific linear quantization implementation from a
tool (such as MindIE-Turbo), the mapping of packed linear is required to
identify correponding quant type.
2. The exception is narrowed down to ImportError when importing
MindIETurboQuantizer to better throw other errors.
3. The api of AscendKVCacheMethod.apply is aligned with that in
AscendAttentionBackendImpl.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. It adds more description for classes in quant_config.py
2. It renames AscendQKVQuantAttentionMethod to AscendKVCacheMethod to
align with vLLM naming style.
3. It modifies the process when AscendLinearMethod or
AscendKVCacheMethod calls create_weights.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. When creating weights, now AscendLinearMethod uses get_weight,
get_pertensor_param and get_perchannel_param api from linear quant
implementation, while AscendKVCacheMethod passes layer into linear quant
implementation.
