Subject: [PATCH 01/21] BUG: fix multi-GPU inference crash for bnb 4-bit/8-bit
 models

When load_in_4bit=True is used with device_map="sequential" and the model
is placed across multiple GPUs (or entirely on a non-default GPU like
cuda:1), the bitsandbytes loading path in transformers places weights on
the target CUDA devices but never calls dispatch_model. This leaves zero
AlignDevicesHook instances installed, so the first cross-device forward
call crashes with:

  RuntimeError: Expected all tensors to be on the same device, but got
  index is on cuda:0, different from other tensors on cuda:1

This commonly happens on Kaggle 2xT4 setups where Gemma-4-31B in 4-bit
(~17 GB) does not fit on a single 15 GB T4, forcing accelerate to shard
across both devices.

Fix: after from_pretrained returns a bnb-quantized model, infer a device
map from post-load parameter placement and call accelerate's
attach_align_device_hook_on_blocks to install input-routing hooks. Two
scenarios are handled:

1. Multi-device (weights span multiple GPUs): per-block hooks route each
   module's inputs to the device holding its weights.

2. Single non-default device (all weights on e.g. cuda:1 because cuda:0
   was too small): a root-level hook with io_same_device=True auto-moves
   inputs from any device to the model's device.

Guards ensure zero overhead for the common single-GPU-on-cuda:0 path:
- Only activates for load_in_4bit or load_in_8bit
- Skips fast_inference (vLLM), offload_embedding, already-dispatched models
- Skips when all weights are already on cuda:0

Tested on 2x B200 with Gemma-4-31B-it-unsloth-bnb-4bit across 6 different
max_memory configurations (1 GiB to 15 GiB per device). All pass.

Subject: [PATCH 03/21] fix: use dispatch_model and strip _is_hf_initialized
 for bnb multi-GPU hooks

Two bugs found during testing:

1. accelerate's set_module_tensor_to_device passes param.__dict__ as kwargs
   to Params4bit(), but HF Transformers adds _is_hf_initialized to that dict.
   Params4bit.__new__() does not accept it, causing TypeError. Fix: strip the
   key before dispatching, restore after.

2. attach_align_device_hook_on_blocks with a block-level device map only
   installs coarse-grained hooks. Sub-modules (e.g. RMSNorm) inherit the
   wrong execution device, causing cross-device errors at forward time.
   Fix: use dispatch_model which installs hooks at every sub-module level,
   matching HF's own from_pretrained behavior.

Tested with 28 tests across unit, single-GPU, multi-GPU (gemma-4-31B 4bit on
2x B200), and edge case suites -- all passing.

Subject: [PATCH 04/21] fix: handle single-device non-default GPU and warn on
 parameter errors

dispatch_model skips AlignDevicesHook installation for single-device
maps (accelerate fast-path). When all weights sit on a non-default GPU
(e.g. cuda:1) the caller's inputs may still arrive on cuda:0, causing
a device mismatch. Detect this and manually add a root-level
AlignDevicesHook to route inputs.

Also replace the silent except-and-return on CUDA device collection
with a RuntimeWarning so users can debug failures.

Subject: [PATCH 06/21] fix: address review findings -- force_hooks, CPU device
 conversion, llama.py path

Three fixes from 13-reviewer consensus:

1. Use dispatch_model(force_hooks=True) instead of manual AlignDevicesHook
   fallback. This properly handles single-device non-default GPU maps
   (e.g. all weights on cuda:1) with io_same_device routing, and
   eliminates the need for the separate add_hook_to_module call.

2. Convert non-CUDA devices (cpu, meta) to type strings in device_map_int.
   dispatch_model uses string equality (device == "cpu") internally, so
   torch.device("cpu") must become "cpu" not stay as an object.

3. Add _attach_bnb_multidevice_hooks call to FastLlamaModel.from_pretrained
   in llama.py. The default 4-bit FastLanguageModel path routes through
   llama.py:2482, not FastBaseModel, so the hook was never called for the
   most common use case (Llama, Gemma, Mistral, etc.).

Also removes redundant retie_parameters call (dispatch_model already
calls it internally) and unused imports.

-    Retroactively attach accelerate AlignDevicesHook on a bitsandbytes-
-    quantised model that was loaded with a multi-device (or non-default-device)
-    device_map.
-
-    When load_in_4bit or load_in_8bit is used together with an accelerate
-    device_map, AutoModel.from_pretrained places weights on the target CUDA
-    devices but does NOT call dispatch_model, so no AlignDevicesHook is
-    installed.  Any cross-device forward pass then crashes with:
-      RuntimeError: Expected all tensors to be on the same device
-
-    This function fixes that by installing hooks after loading, without
-    re-moving any quantised weight tensors.  Two scenarios are handled:
-
-    1. Multi-device: weights span multiple CUDA devices.  Per-block hooks
-       route each module's inputs to the correct device.
-    2. Single non-default device: all weights land on e.g. cuda:1 but the
-       caller may pass inputs on cuda:0.  A root-level hook fixes this.
