Bot review (gpt-5.6-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.
The example is cohesive and reuses the existing Alpamayo input helpers and QADTrainer; the new file's NVIDIA license header matches the repository's canonical LICENSE_HEADER. However, the documented/default validation split overlaps the training split, and export can silently produce an unchanged or partially updated checkpoint when the trained state dict does not match. There are also no automated tests for the slicing/export logic; the stated coverage is only an end-to-end manual run.

Bot review (gpt-5.6-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review: the rollout documentation is corrected, and export now aborts on missing or unexpected VLM keys. The split fix is only partial: the newly added overlap check makes the README's primary command fail with its default validation range. The previously requested unit coverage for split and export integrity is also still absent. The new file's NVIDIA header matches LICENSE_HEADER.

Bot review (gpt-5.6-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review: the earlier rollout-documentation, README split, and strict export-key issues are now addressed. However, the newly added tests do not execute qad.py; they only reimplement its expressions, so the requested critical regression coverage for overlap rejection and export integrity is still absent. The range validation can also be bypassed with negative CLI values, and the new test file's abbreviated SPDX header does not match the repository's canonical LICENSE_HEADER.

Bot comment.
These tests never import or call clip_slice, the split validator, or export_full_model; they only assert facts about locally constructed sets and duplicated arithmetic. They would still pass if export stopped checking mismatches or saved despite them, so the previously requested checkpoint-integrity coverage remains unresolved. Please exercise the production code with mocked AlpamayoR1.from_pretrained, glob/load_file, and save_pretrained, covering successful multi-shard loading plus missing/unexpected-key failures and asserting that failures occur before save. Likewise, invoke an extracted split-validation helper rather than copying its condition into the test.

Bot comment.
Please reject negative offsets/limits before this interval check. For example, --train_offset 0 --limit_train -1 computes train_end == -1 and passes as non-overlapping with the default validation range, while clip_slice(..., 0, -1) actually selects nearly the entire clip list, including those validation clips. Require offsets to be nonnegative and limits to be nonnegative/positive as appropriate, and cover this case through the production validation helper.

Bot comment.
This new source file contains only the two SPDX lines, whereas the repository's canonical LICENSE_HEADER (and test_quantize.py) includes the full Apache notice. Please use the canonical header. Because this is a GitHub PR touching license notices, the mismatch also requires human/licensing sign-off.

Make dataset arguments conditional for --trained_vlm.
--trained_vlm states that it skips training. argparse still rejects the command before it reaches the export-only branch when --parquet or --limit_train is absent.
Make these arguments optional during parsing. Require and validate them only in the training branch.

Execute the split and export code paths.
These tests only evaluate copied arithmetic and locally created key sets. They do not invoke the validation in main() or export_full_model(), so they pass if those production checks regress.
Patch parse_args() to exercise split rejection. Mock model loading, shard discovery, and load_file() to exercise successful export and missing or unexpected key failures before save_pretrained().
As per coding guidelines, “Exercise the behavior a test claims to validate”; as per path instructions, checked-in tests must not duplicate behavior already covered by a higher-level test.

Separate sensitivity-selected and forced-unquantized layers.
auto_quantize_model passes only NVFP4_DEFAULT_CFG and FP8_DEFAULT_CFG as search candidates. It adds the vision tower and non-16-aligned Linear layers to disabled_layers, so those layers remain unquantized independently of sensitivity. The current wording implies that sensitivity can select an unquantized assignment. Reword this distinction to match the implementation.
Proposed wording
-Layers the loss is sensitive to keep more bits
-(FP8/unquantized); less sensitive layers go to NVFP4.
+Eligible layers that are more sensitive use FP8; explicitly disabled layers
+remain unquantized, and the remaining eligible layers use NVFP4.📝 Committable suggestion

In `@examples/alpamayo/README.md` around lines 71 - 72, Update the
calibration-clips documentation to distinguish sensitivity-selected FP8/NVFP4
layers from layers forcibly kept unquantized by auto_quantize_model, including
the vision tower and non-16-aligned Linear layers; do not imply that sensitivity
selects unquantized assignments.
