### What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature (model recipe)

Adds the NVFP4 PTQ recipe for **Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B** — the recipe
used to produce

[**nvidia/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B-NVFP4**](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B-NVFP4).

Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B is a `qwen3_5_moe_text` MoE: 92 layers, 512
routed experts (top-10)
plus a shared expert, with **hybrid attention** — gated-delta
(linear-attention) layers
interleaved with full-attention layers. It is transformers-native from
>= 5.9 and its config
ships `base_model_ep_plan`, so no ModelOpt plugin is required.

The recipe applies:

| component | precision |
|---|---|
| routed experts | NVFP4 (MSE-searched static weight scales, dynamic
input scales) |
| self-attention | FP8 (W8A8, all projections) |
| linear-attention | FP8 (W8A8, the full gated-delta path — `conv1d` +
all in/out projections) |
| KV cache | FP8 (cast mode) |
| everything else | BF16 — including MTP, left unquantized |

Two things are documented in the file header because they affect how the
recipe should be
read:

- **The full gated-delta path is FP8, and that was validated
end-to-end.** The `conv1d` and
the in/out projections (`in_proj_qkv` / `in_proj_z` / `in_proj_a` /
`in_proj_b`, `out_proj`)
are all FP8; only the norms stay BF16. `nn.Conv1d` is a registered
ModelOpt quant module, so
the recipe's broad `*linear_attn*` rules reach `linear_attn.conv1d` too
— this is intentional
and matches the published `nvidia/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B-NVFP4`, whose
`hf_quant_config.json` lists
`linear_attn.conv1d` as FP8 on every gated-delta layer (the interleaved
full-attention layers
have no `conv1d`). (An earlier revision of the file header / ptq.md
wrongly stated the
  recurrent path is never quantized; corrected in this PR.)
- **The source ships as native block-FP8** (`quant_method=fp8`,
`weight_block_size [128,128]`,
dynamic activations). The loader dequantizes it to BF16 before
quantizers are inserted, so
the calibrated scales are against BF16 weights, not against the shipped
FP8.

Filed under `modelopt_recipes/models/` per the split introduced in #2219
(per-`model_type`
recipes vs model-hub checkpoint recipes); this one targets a published
checkpoint, alongside
`deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813` and the Nemotron-3 entries.

### Usage

```bash
# The recipe is consumed by the PTQ entrypoint the same way as the other
# modelopt_recipes/models/ entries:
python examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py \
    --pyt_ckpt_path <Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B checkpoint> \
    --recipe models/Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B/ptq/nvfp4_experts_mse-fp8_self_attn-fp8_linear_attn-kv_fp8_cast \
    --export_path <output>
```

### Testing

The exported checkpoint was evaluated against the BF16 baseline on
**GPQA, AA-LCR, SciCode,
IFBench and Terminal-Bench 2.1**, with no meaningful accuracy regression
on any of them. The
published `nvidia/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B-NVFP4` checkpoint is the artifact
this recipe produces —
its `hf_quant_config.json` is the ground truth for which modules are
quantized (routed experts
NVFP4; self-attention, all linear-attention projections **and**
`conv1d`, and KV cache FP8).

No new unit tests: this is a declarative recipe composed entirely of
existing units
(`base_disable_all`, `nvfp4`, `nvfp4_static`, `fp8`, `kv_fp8_cast`), all
already covered.

### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"

behaviour touched)

* Added a post-training quantization recipe for the Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B
model.
* Supports MSE-searched NVFP4 quantization for routed expert layers and
FP8 quantization across self-attention and gated-delta linear-attention

* Clarified the model’s hybrid precision configuration, including FP8
treatment of the gated-delta convolution path and the scope of broad
linear-attention patterns.
  * Documented source-checkpoint dequantization and validation behavior.

### What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature (model recipe)

Adds an NVFP4 PTQ recipe for
**[zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash](https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash)**.

GLM-5.3-Flash is a `glm5_next` VLM MoE — 45 decoder layers, 288 routed
experts, and hybrid attention: KDA (linear-attention) layers interleaved
with NoPE sparse-MLA layers. It requires `transformers >= 5.16.1`;
earlier releases cannot parse the config.

**`nvfp4_experts_dense_mlp-kv_fp8_cast`** applies:

| component | precision |
|---|---|
| routed experts (layers 3–44, 288 each) | NVFP4 W4A4 |
| dense MLP (layers 0–2, 9 modules) | NVFP4 W4A4 |
| KV cache | FP8 (cast mode, constant amax) |
| shared experts, router gate, KDA + MLA attention, vision tower,
embeddings, `lm_head` | BF16 |

`mlp_layer_types` marks only layers 0–2 `dense` and 3–44 `sparse`, so
the dense-MLP scope adds just 9 modules (`mlp.gate_proj` / `mlp.up_proj`
/ `mlp.down_proj`) on top of the routed experts. The recipe starts from
`base_disable_all`, so only the listed globs re-enable anything.

> **On scope / why only one recipe.** An earlier revision of this PR
also shipped a model-specific `nvfp4_experts_only-kv_fp8_cast`. It was
removed: on this model it enables the **identical** quantizer set as the
general `general/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only-kv_fp8_cast` (its
`*block_sparse_moe*` entries are no-ops here and
`default_disabled_quantizers` is redundant in experts-only scope), so it
wasn't a model-specific deviation. For plain experts-only NVFP4, use the
general recipe. The genuine model-specific delta — shipped here — is the
dense-MLP scope plus the vision-tower exclusion below.

#### The load-bearing `*visual*` disable

The vision tower reuses the language model's leaf names —
`model.visual.blocks.<N>.mlp.gate_proj` and friends, across 24 blocks —
so the dense-MLP patterns match **144 modules inside `model.visual.*`**.
Entries apply in order, so a trailing `{quantizer_name: '*visual*',
enable: false}` is what keeps them BF16, and it has to stay last.
(`*.experts.*` needs a literal `.experts.`, so it never reaches the
vision tower.)

The shared `default_disabled_quantizers` unit is deliberately not
imported: for this model only its `*visual*` pattern changes anything —
every other pattern either matches no module here, or matches one that
`base_disable_all` already left off (`lm_head`, the `mlp.gate.` routers)
and that nothing re-enables.

#### Two model-specific points, documented in the file header

- **`layerwise.enable=false` is required, not incidental.** This is a
VLM, so the decoder layers nest under `model.language_model.layers` and
`layerwise_calibrate` cannot locate them.
- **The MTP head is not built, so it is neither quantized nor
exported.** The config declares `num_hidden_layers: 45` (with
`num_nextn_predict_layers: 1`), so the HF model class instantiates
decoder layers 0–44 only and never constructs the MTP layer.

Filed under `modelopt_recipes/models/` per the split introduced in
#2219, keyed by the source hub model — alongside `moonshotai/Kimi-K3`
and `mistralai/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B`. There is no published
`nvidia/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4` yet; the `models/` section explicitly
covers "published **(or planned)**" checkpoints.

### Usage

```bash
python examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py \
    --pyt_ckpt_path <zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash checkpoint> \
    --recipe models/zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash/ptq/nvfp4_experts_dense_mlp-kv_fp8_cast \
    --export_path <output>
```

### Testing

- **`tests/unit/recipe/test_glm_5_3_recipe.py`** (new) — applies the
recipe to a tiny `glm5_next`-like VLM MoE and asserts the
enabled/disabled state per module: routed experts + dense MLP → NVFP4;
vision tower, shared experts, router gate, KDA `conv1d`, MLA attention
and `lm_head` → BF16. This pins the wildcard precedence — in particular
that the trailing `*visual*` disable keeps the vision tower BF16 even
though it reuses the dense-MLP leaf names, and that `*mlp.gate_proj*`
doesn't catch the router `mlp.gate`.
- **`tests/unit/recipe/test_recipe_docs.py`** — all checks pass,
including `test_every_model_specific_ptq_dir_is_mentioned` (the
`models/zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash/ptq/` folder appears in `ptq.md`).

The recipe's scope was also checked against the model's actual module
names: the dense-MLP patterns match 144 modules under `model.visual.*`,
which the trailing disable returns to BF16; an exported checkpoint
carries `input_scale` / `weight_scale` / `weight_scale_2` on
`layers.0–2.mlp.*_proj` while `visual.blocks.0.mlp.gate_proj` retains
only `.weight` / `.bias`; and `kv_cache_quant_algo: FP8` survives the
trailing disable.
