Release the SafeTensor mmap loader singleton after each layer's
load_weights() completes. The C++ engine already holds a deep copy
(cpu_infer.sync() guarantees this), so releasing the mmap handles is
safe. The next layer recreates the loader on demand.
This halves peak memory usage during model loading (e.g. DSv3.2:
1.2T -> 613G).
Based on #1966 by @poryfly — adapted to v0.6.2.post3 codebase
(adds MXFP4 support missing from the original PR).

- Add convert_cpu_weights_ds4.py: dequantizes MXFP4 routed experts
(E2M1 + ue8m0, group size 32) on GPU and re-quantizes to AMX-INT4 on CPU.
- Document the script as Step 2 in DeepSeek-V4-Flash.md so AMX users
can opt into AMXINT4 mode instead of the default MXFP4 CPU experts.
* [feat](kt-kernel): add MXFP4 MoE operator with E2M1 weights × BF16 activations
Implements AMX_FP4_MOE_TP based on the RAWINT4 (k2-moe) CRTP pattern.
FP4 E2M1 weights are nibble-packed and decoded via PSHUFB LUT, then
computed with BF16 activations using _mm512_dpbf16_ps. Supports weight-only
per-kgroup scaling (group_size=32) and tensor parallelism.
Includes a Python validation test covering uniform, alternating, ramp,
and random weight patterns.

* [feat](kt-kernel): adapt MXFP4 MoE backend for DeepSeek-V4-Flash (#1950)
V4-Flash routed experts ship as native MXFP4 (E2M1 nibble + ue8m0 group
scale). Expose AMXFP4_KGroup_MOE through NativeMoEWrapper, add a loader
that handles V4's `layers.{L}.ffn.experts.{i}.{w1,w3,w2}.{weight,scale}`
naming and converts ue8m0 → bf16 via a lossless bit-cast, register the
model entry, and ship an end-to-end numerical validation script.

* [perf](kt-kernel): MXFP4 MoE add mat-mat 4×4 tile, refine mat-vec reduce (#1957)
mat_mul_kgroup previously aliased to fp4_mat_vec_kgroup, leaving large
batches stuck on the per-token path. Implement fp4_mat_mat_kgroup as a
4×4 register tile (MB=NB=4, 16 zmm accumulators) so each PSHUFB decode
of four weight rows is reused across four tokens.
Refactor fp4_mat_vec_kgroup to accumulate four N-rows in parallel and
flush them with a new reduce4 helper, removing per-row reduce_add_ps
calls from the hot loop. Mark mxfp4_to_bf16_32 always_inline.
Add bench/bench_fp4_moe.py with --routing {balanced,concentrated} and
a backend registry so future kernels can be added without changing the
runner.
Dispatch thresholds, derived_init, GeneralMOEConfig handling,
load_weights, write_weights_to_buffer and the TP_MOE specialization are
unchanged.

* fix(loader): avoid uint16 lshift in ue8m0->bf16 conversion
PyTorch CPU has no lshift kernel for UInt16, so the previous
`(scale_t.to(torch.uint16) << 7)` raised NotImplementedError when
loading any V4-Flash MXFP4 routed-expert scale tensor on the host.
Switch to int32 for the shift (kernel exists) and narrow to int16
afterwards. The shifted value max is 255<<7 = 32640, well within
int16 range, so the narrow is lossless. The .view(bfloat16) bit
pattern is identical (bf16 sign bit is always 0 for ue8m0 values).

* docs(v4-flash): hybrid CPU/GPU recipe + bump kt-sglang submodule
Bumps third_party/sglang to kvcache-ai/sglang main (3cbd49c29) which now
contains DeepSeek V4 Flash model support + consumer-GPU (SM_120) portable
Triton/TileLang fallbacks (kt-sglang PR #38).
Adds doc/en/DeepSeek-V4-Flash.md tutorial: 8x RTX 5090 hybrid recipe with
the full launch command, OpenAI-compatible /generate + /v1/chat/completions
examples, and the kt chat CLI client.

* Add utility script to merge loose layer weights to safetensors
* Send warnings and errors to stderr
* Fix expert index parsing for MOE_INT4 and MOE_INT8
* Support for GLM-5 and Minimax-M2.5
Add CPU weight conversion support for GLM-5 and Minimax-M2.5
* fix: remove overly restrictive MiniMax condition and deduplicate code
- Remove `args.input_type == "fp8"` from MiniMaxConverter selection so
bf16/fp16 MiniMax models no longer fall through to OnlineQuantConverter
(which doesn't handle w1/w2/w3 naming and would fail).
- Remove OnlineQuantConverter._find_expert_layers() which is identical
to the inherited ConverterBase._find_expert_layers().
- Remove redundant expert_key_filter assignment (same as base default).

Add numa_nodes parameter to BaseMoEWrapper and all subclasses, allowing
users to explicitly specify which NUMA node IDs to use for subpool
mapping instead of always defaulting to sequential [0, 1, ..., N-1].
This enables running multiple KTransformers instances on different NUMA
nodes of the same machine, e.g. --kt-threadpool-count 1 --kt-numa-nodes 1
to bind to NUMA node 1. Previously this required external numactl
workarounds since subpool_numa_map was hardcoded to start from 0.
* initial fix for issue 1858
* [fix]: add done flag check to sync() wait predicate to prevent deadlock during destruction

* Increase timeout for Check if --kt-gpu-prefill-token-threshold is in the help output to 90 seconds.
In cloud environments,CUDA initialization and Python module loading can easily exceed 30 seconds.

* [build]: rename PyPI package from kt-kernel to ktransformers
Users can now `pip install ktransformers` to get everything
(sglang-kt is auto-installed as a dependency).

* Revert "[build]: rename PyPI package from kt-kernel to ktransformers"
This reverts commit e0cbbf6364.
* [build]: add ktransformers meta-package for PyPI
`pip install ktransformers` now works as a single install command.
It pulls kt-kernel (which in turn pulls sglang-kt).

* [fix]: show sglang-kt package version in kt version command
- Prioritize sglang-kt package version (aligned with ktransformers)
over sglang internal __version__
- Update display name from "sglang" to "sglang-kt"

* [fix]: improve sglang-kt detection in kt doctor and kt version
Recognize sglang-kt package name as proof of kvcache-ai fork installation.
Previously both commands fell through to "PyPI (not recommended)" for
non-editable local source installs. Now version.py reuses the centralized
check_sglang_installation() logic.

* Handle unquoted paths and special characters in model scanner
* Fix ValueError: capture_output cannot be used with stderr
`capture_output=True` internally sets `stderr=PIPE`, which conflicts
with `stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL`. Replace `capture_output=True` with
explicit `stdout=subprocess.PIPE` to keep stderr suppressed correctly.
Also remove redundant `shell=False` (already the default).
