Summary

  • preserve the source artifact's concrete lower-input semantics during backend conversion instead of resolving lower_kind="auto"
  • expose lower_input_kind from .pte and .pt2 metadata so exported artifacts retain their lower across subsequent conversions
  • reject graph-to-dense-only conversions rather than silently changing the model function
  • document that graph semantics require a graph-native training and freeze workflow

Root cause

dp convert-backend always passed lower_kind="auto" to the pt_expt serializer. A dense-trained DPA1 model was therefore reinterpreted as graph-native whenever the reconstructed target model advertised graph support. Dense padding contributes -davg/dstd when davg is nonzero, while the graph lower contains no padding edges, so the generated artifact represented a different function.

Verification

  • targeted conversion and metadata tests: 9 passed
  • PTE serialization round-trip: 1 passed
  • real nonzero-davg .pth to .pt2 conversion selected lower_input_kind=nlist
  • source versus converted artifact: energy delta 0, force max delta 8.882e-16, virial max delta 6.661e-16
  • Ruff, diff checks, and all pre-commit hooks passed

Closes #5973

Related to #5862 and #5824.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Backend conversions preserve supported lower-input behaviors, including dense, graph, and canonical formats.
    • Conversions default to standard neighbor-list behavior when source metadata is unavailable.
    • Model exports now include lower-input representation metadata across supported frameworks.
    • Unsupported target representations are rejected instead of silently changing semantics.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on conversion preservation rules and supported representations.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for metadata preservation, legacy artifacts, serialization formats, and conversion validation.

Conversion forwards explicit source lower kinds, uses "auto" when metadata is absent, and rejects unsupported explicit kinds.
Regression coverage

Tests cover serialization metadata, legacy fallback, ABI mapping, numerical conversion results, and incompatible-target errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4ae8c

The PR preserves lower-input semantics during backend conversion, but a specific compressed charge-conditioned configuration can still fail opaquely after a multi-minute compilation when no default charge state is provided. This bounded runtime and usability risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Thanks for tracking this down -- the diagnosis in #5973 is right, and reading the source artifact's own lower_input_kind instead of re-deriving it at the target is the correct direction. Two things need work before this can go in; both are inline.

The short version: the new default is applied to sources that never carried the field, and that is a different decision from the one the bug required. _resolve_lower_kind answered a question about the model (model_uses_graph_lower + _supports_graph_export), which is available from any source format, so pinning every non-pt_expt source to "nlist" removes a correct answer along with the incorrect one.

I also checked the rejection branch for graph -> .dp/.pth/.pb and concluded it is right as written: those backends only implement the padded dense lower, so allowing that conversion would be the same silent change of function this PR is fixing. No change requested there.

2252-2257: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard against a missing default charge state before building the fold sample.

_charge_state_descriptor admits a descriptor when compress is true and charge_spin_embedding is not None. It does not require a default charge state. _collect_metadata records has_default_chg_spin at line 1124, but this function does not read it.

If descriptor.get_default_chg_spin() returns None, torch.tensor([None], dtype=torch.float32) raises a low-level construction error. That failure surfaces after the main AOTInductor compile, which takes minutes.

Add an explicit check with a clear message.

29-39: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

export_lower_input_kind omits @torch.jit.export in both definitions. Every peer accessor in these two classes carries @torch.jit.export (get_model_def_script, get_min_nbor_dist, get_ntypes, has_spin, has_message_passing). TorchScript compiles only forward, the methods it reaches, and explicitly exported methods, so neither new method appears on a scripted module. The current consumer at deepmd/pt/utils/serialization.py line 56 calls the method on the eager model before torch.jit.script, so nothing breaks today.

  • deepmd/pt/model/model/model.py#L29-L39: add @torch.jit.export above export_lower_input_kind to match the base-class accessor convention, or add a short comment stating the method is eager-only by design.

Both of my earlier points are genuinely addressed -- thanks for the rewrite, the "source declares its contract, absent metadata falls back to auto" split is the right shape.

Verified against HEAD rather than taking the replies at face value:

  • Absent metadata now reaches auto, so .dp sources get the model-derived resolution back, and a native-spin .dp -> .pt2 no longer trips the native_spin guard.
  • test_convert_regular_pt_dpa1_preserves_dense_semantics is a real regression test: it forces davg to a nonzero value, writes an actual .pth, runs the real convert_backend, reads the real metadata.json out of the produced archive, and compares energy and force at rtol=atol=1e-10. Nothing is monkeypatched, it is not skipped, and the main CI matrix collects it. Pre-fix it would record graph and fail on the metadata assertion. That is exactly what was missing.

One new problem came in with the rewrite, inline below: making the PyTorch source declare a fixed ABI breaks the one model family that already had a non-dense one.

Non-blocking, for a follow-up if you prefer: the dpmodel backend is now the only one that does not declare a contract (deepmd/dpmodel/utils/serialization.py is untouched, and load_dp_model returns whatever is stored). The consequence is that the same .dp behaves differently depending on when it was produced -- one written before this change has no key and resolves through auto, while one written afterwards by a pth -> dp conversion carries "nlist" and is pinned dense. Since tf, tf2 and jax all now state "nlist" explicitly, .dp reads as an oversight rather than a decision.

On CI: the checks are green, but Test C++ on CUDA and Test Python on CUDA both come back skipped at job level for this head (only the aggregate Pass testing on CUDA gate is green), so the CUDA-side canonical operators are not covered by anything that ran here.

All three of my earlier points are genuinely resolved, and I checked each against the code rather than the replies.

The auto fallback restores the model-derived resolution for sources that declare nothing. The dense-semantics regression is real end-to-end — nonzero davg, a real .pth, the real convert_backend, the real metadata.json, plus an energy/force comparison at 1e-10. And I spent a while on edge_vec -> graph, since it is the only row in the table whose key and value differ: it holds, and for a better reason than the comment gives. deserialize_to_file re-deserializes the model from the weights, builds pt_expt's own NeighborGraph sample inputs and re-traces through torch.export, and meta["lower_input_kind"] is written after that trace, so the recorded ABI cannot drift from the compiled signature. That matters, because the two ABIs are not interchangeable at all — a six-tuple starting with float coord versus a ten-tuple with no coord, atype in slot 0, and four CSR arrays. A relabel would have been silently catastrophic; a re-trace is sound. I also confirmed the innermost gate re-asserts both _supports_graph_export and model_uses_graph_lower, so nothing here bypasses the eligibility checks.

What holds this up is one regression that came in with the last commit, inline below, plus two things worth settling in the same pass. None of them is in the original problem area — the fix for #5973 itself looks right to me.

For completeness, things I checked that turned out fine and that nobody needs to spend time on: a graph lower written into a .pte is a supported artifact, not a broken one (the .pte path is the Python torch.export.load consumer; the C++ AOTI runtime only handles .pt2, and doc/backend.md already says compiled .pte retains its recorded kind). The new top-level lower_input_kind key does not trip the serialization-version rule, since the interchange dict carries no top-level @version — only the nested data["model"] is versioned. And the base-class export_lower_input_kind default closes a latent AttributeError for non-SeZM models reaching the freeze path rather than creating a new risk.

Separately, and not something to fix here: dp freeze in deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py force-overrides lower_kind to "graph" for any structurally graph-capable model, warning only about a "~1e-4" difference. That gate looks at structural eligibility and never at davg, which is precisely the variable #5973 showed can drive the two lowers apart by far more than 1e-4. So after this PR, dp freeze and dp convert-backend apply opposite policies to the same weights, and I think it is freeze that is now wrong. Worth a separate issue rather than widening this one.

Blocking, though it should be a small fix. Mapping edge_vec to graph unconditionally turns a conversion that works today into a hard error for SeZM/DPA4 models that are not graph-lower eligible.

SeZMModel.export_lower_input_kind() returns "edge_vec" unconditionally — it never consults eligibility. SeZMPropertyModel subclasses SeZMModel and does not override it, so a property-fitting model reports "edge_vec" too. But model_uses_graph_lower returns False when "energy" not in model.atomic_output_def().keys(), which is exactly that case, so the innermost gate raises ValueError: lower_kind='graph' requested but the model is not graph-lower eligible.

Before this commit the same model converted fine: convert_backend passed "auto", and _resolve_lower_kind pre-checked model_uses_graph_lower and fell back to "nlist". Now the source's unconditional "edge_vec" is forwarded explicitly and skips that pre-check. So dp convert-backend sezm_property.pt out.pt2 regresses from working to failing, and the same applies to any other SeZM/DPA4 configuration that turns graph eligibility off — compression, set_davg_zero=False, use_three_body, disable_graph_lower().

The new test only exercises an energy-fitting DPA4 config, so nothing catches it.

The cleanest fix is probably to make the mapping conditional rather than a static table entry: resolve edge_vec to "graph" only when model_uses_graph_lower(model) holds, and fall back to "nlist" otherwise — i.e. put back the pre-check that "auto" used to perform. Alternatively, make SeZMModel.export_lower_input_kind() itself eligibility-aware, which would keep the table honest as a pure lookup. Either way a property-model case in test_convert_pt_dpa4_maps_edge_vec_to_graph's neighbourhood would pin it.

The ABI declaration is only half-rolled-out, so the result now depends on which file format the weights arrived in.

pt, tf, tf2 and jax all declare a kind, but deepmd/dpmodel/utils/serialization.py (save_dp_model/load_dp_model) and deepmd/pd/utils/serialization.py do not, so data.get(...) is None for a .dp source and this sends "auto". _resolve_lower_kind then picks graph/dpa1_canonical/dpa4c_canonical for an eligible model — where the very same weights arriving as a .pth would have been pinned to "nlist".

So the same model converts to a different artifact depending on whether it came through .dp or .pth, which is the class of surprise this PR is otherwise removing. doc/backend.md frames the no-metadata path as a legacy/backward-compatibility fallback, but .dp is not legacy — it is a current format that will simply never carry the field unless it is added.

Adding the declaration to the dpmodel serializer would close it. Paddle is less urgent, since its serialize_from_file raises NotImplementedError today, but it is the same gap.

Related, lower stakes: the rejection just below fires for any target whose hook lacks a lower_kind parameter, which includes .dp. Unlike .pb/.pth, a .dp bakes no execution schema at all — it is a weights container, and whoever re-exports it later picks their own lower. Blocking dp convert-backend sezm.pt out.dp therefore protects nothing while losing a working path. Worth narrowing the guard to targets that actually materialise a lower.

Minor, but this guard can now be tripped by a value the caller never supplied, and its message then misdirects them.

_resolve_lower_kind special-cases type == "spin_ener" but not "native_spin", so a native-spin model arriving with "auto" — a .dp source, for instance — falls through to the generic eligibility branch and can resolve to "nlist" or, when canonical_model_eligible holds, "dpa1_canonical". Neither is in this guard's allowed set, so it raises and tells the user to pass lower_kind='graph' when they passed "auto", or nothing at all through dp convert-backend.

The mismatch predates this PR, but _resolve_target_lower_kind is new and sits directly in front of the guard, which makes it the natural place to either extend the native_spin special case into _resolve_lower_kind or reword the message to distinguish a caller-supplied kind from an internally-resolved one.
