Pull request overview

This pull request refactors the optimizer configuration schema to promote it from being nested within the training section to a dedicated top-level optimizer section in the input JSON configuration. This change improves consistency and clarity across the DeePMD-kit codebase.

Changes:

  • Introduced a new top-level optimizer section in the configuration schema with support for multiple optimizer types (Adam, AdamW, LKF, AdaMuon, HybridMuon)
  • Updated all backend implementations (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Paddle) to extract optimizer parameters from the new location
  • Updated documentation to reference the new optimizer section across multiple training guides

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Consolidates optimizer configuration across TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Paddle by adding a top-level optimizer section, plumbing type-specific optimizer parameters into trainers, adding argcheck entries for optimizer variants, and providing backward-compatibility migration from legacy training-scoped optimizer fields.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Trainer Implementations
deepmd/pd/train/training.py, deepmd/pt/train/training.py, deepmd/tf/train/trainer.py
Trainers now read config["optimizer"] (default {}), validate type (whitelist per backend), extract type-specific params (adam_beta1/2, weight_decay, momentum, lr_adjust, etc.), and construct framework-specific optimizers; multi-task per-model handling retained for PyTorch.
Argument Validation System
deepmd/utils/argcheck.py
Added optimizer argument subsystem and registrars for Adam, AdamW, LKF, AdaMuon, HybridMuon; new optimizer_args() and optimizer_variant_type_args() integrated into gen_args for single- and multi-task flows.
Compatibility & Migration
deepmd/utils/compat.py, deepmd/tf/utils/compat.py
Added convert_optimizer_to_new_format() to migrate legacy opt_type/training-scoped keys into top-level optimizer (emits DeprecationWarning); exported via TF compat module.
Tests & Examples
source/tests/pd/test_training.py, source/tests/pt/test_training.py, source/tests/pt/model/water/lkf.json, examples/.../input_torch*.json
Tests updated to call migration in setup; sample configs and tests moved/added top-level optimizer blocks (e.g., LKF, AdamW examples).
Docs
doc/train/training-advanced.md, doc/model/train-fitting-*.md
Documentation updated with new Optimizer subsection, example JSON, supported optimizers per framework, and parameter descriptions (adam_beta1/2, weight_decay).
Minor
deepmd/tf/entrypoints/train.py
Whitespace housekeeping.

126-129: Verify legacy optimizer keys are handled.

The trainer now reads only the top-level optimizer section when optim_dict is absent. If existing configs still set training.opt_type / weight_decay / adam_beta2, those values will be ignored. Please confirm this is an intentional breaking change or add a fallback/deprecation error to make it explicit.

Also applies to: 319-320


160-197: LGTM: per-optimizer defaults centralized.

Nice consolidation of default hyperparameters and validation in get_opt_param.


775-793: Nice: AdaMuon now restores optimizer state + scheduler.

Keeps resume behavior consistent with Adam/AdamW.


733-764: No changes needed — fused parameter is guaranteed in all supported PyTorch versions.

The project requires PyTorch ≥2.7 (GPU) or ≥2.8 (CPU) per pyproject.toml. Both torch.optim.Adam (fused since 1.13) and torch.optim.AdamW (fused since 2.0) fully support the fused parameter across all pinned versions. The current implementation is correct and doesn't require guards.

extracted_cfg, optimizer_cfg) to trigger extraction when any legacy key is
present (not just opt_type), include the legacy alias "muon_min_2d_dim" by
adding it to optimizer_keys and mapping it to "min_2d_dim" when moving keys,
then proceed to convert opt_type->type if present and merge into optimizer_cfg

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
deepmd/pd/train/training.py (1)

152-173: Consider removing unused kf_ parameters from extraction.*

The Paddle backend only supports the Adam optimizer (validated at line 161-162), but get_opt_param still extracts Kalman Filter parameters (kf_blocksize, kf_start_pref_e, etc.) that are only relevant for the LKF optimizer. While this doesn't cause functional issues, removing these unused extractions would improve code clarity and align better with the backend's actual capabilities.

The early validation for unsupported optimizer types is good (fail-fast approach).

♻️ Optional: Remove unused kf_* parameters
         opt_param = {
-            "kf_blocksize": params.get("kf_blocksize"),

324-349: Minor: Duplicate optimizer type validation.

The optimizer type check at lines 325-328 is redundant since the same validation already occurs in _init_param (lines 130-133), which runs before _build_optimizer is called. The second check could be removed for cleaner code, though keeping it as a defensive guard is also acceptable.

Verify migration runs before strict normalization in all entrypoints.

While all main training entrypoints (TensorFlow train/compress/change_bias, PaddlePaddle, PyTorch) correctly call update_deepmd_input() before normalize(), the NVNMD entrypoint at deepmd/tf/nvnmd/entrypoints/mapt.py calls normalize() without prior migration. Since optimizer keys are now schema-driven, any legacy configs will fail strict validation if not migrated first. This applies to all code paths that validate configs with strict=True.

347-350: Consolidate duplicated optimizer-type validation.

The same optimizer_type != "Adam" guard is already enforced in _init_param; keeping one source of truth reduces drift.

optimizer-type guard in the shown block and rely on the single validation in

799-802: Document fused optimizer device support or add explicit device validation.

Line 801 enables fused=True on all non-CPU devices. While PyTorch's fused optimizer officially supports CUDA, CPU, MPS, XPU, HPU, and MTIA, it will fail at runtime on unsupported backends (e.g., TPU/XLA). Consider either:

  1. Adding a comment documenting the supported device assumption, or
  2. Explicitly validating the device type: if DEVICE.type in ("cuda", "mps", "xpu", "hpu", "mtia"): extra["fused"] = True

Inline comments:
In `@deepmd/pd/train/training.py`:
- Line 123: Validate the optimizer config immediately after reading it instead
of defaulting to {}, i.e., check that config contains an "optimizer" mapping and
required fields for the chosen optimizer (for Adam ensure keys like "lr",
"betas", "eps", "weight_decay" or whatever keys your Adam usage at lines 686-688
expects are present); if missing, raise a clear ValueError with a message
stating which key is missing. Update the code around the optimizer_params
assignment (the variable optimizer_params in deepmd/pd/train/training.py) to
perform this validation (and reuse the same validation for other code paths
noted at lines ~161-172 and ~278), so the later Adam construction code that
reads those keys cannot raise a late KeyError.
- Around line 167-169: The current Paddle trainer only allows "Adam" via a
runtime check on opt_type (params.get("type")) in training.py; update validation
so optimizer types are filtered at config-load time instead of only at trainer
instantiation: add a backend-aware allowed list (e.g., PADDLE_ALLOWED_OPTS =
{"Adam"} and PT_ALLOWED_OPTS = {"Adam","AdamW","LKF","AdaMuon","HybridMuon"})
and validate params["type"] against the Paddle set when the backend is Paddle,
or better yet add schema-level backend-specific allowed values for the optimizer
type so configs for non-Paddle backends are rejected earlier; ensure the error
message references the backend and lists allowed values instead of the generic
raise ValueError currently using opt_type.

In `@deepmd/tf/train/trainer.py`:
- Around line 141-145: The code in trainer.py that sets self.optimizer_beta1,
self.optimizer_beta2, and self.optimizer_weight_decay calls float(...) on values
that may be None (optimizer_param.get("adam_beta1"), etc.), which raises
TypeError; fix by providing safe defaults or guarding None before conversion
(e.g., use optimizer_param.get("adam_beta1", <default>) and
optimizer_param.get("adam_beta2", <default>) and
optimizer_param.get("weight_decay", 0.0) or check for None and only cast when
present), so that self.optimizer_beta1, self.optimizer_beta2, and
self.optimizer_weight_decay always receive valid float values while keeping
self.optimizer_type parsing unchanged.

Outside diff comments:
In `@deepmd/utils/argcheck.py`:
- Around line 4035-4044: The NVNMD entrypoint (mapt) calls normalize() before
migration, causing strict schema validation failures for legacy optimizer keys;
update the entrypoint to call update_deepmd_input(config) (the same migration
used by other training entrypoints) before calling normalize(config,
strict=True), and audit any other NVNMD-related code paths to ensure
update_deepmd_input() runs prior to normalize() when strict validation is used.

Duplicate comments:
In `@deepmd/pt/train/training.py`:
- Around line 195-200: The current code silently falls back to "Adam" when
configs include a legacy "opt_type" key but no "type", so update the opt
selection logic in training.py (the block that computes opt_type and opt_param)
to detect a legacy params.get("opt_type") when "type" is absent and refuse
silent fallback: either map/migrate it explicitly (e.g., set
params["type"]=params.pop("opt_type") for supported legacy names) or raise a
clear ValueError telling the user to rename "opt_type" to "type" (include the
offending value in the message); ensure opt_param still pops "type" afterwards
and that the error/message references the original opt_type value to aid
debugging.

3030-3044: Consider documenting breaking change implications.

Since this PR is labeled as a "breaking change", consider adding a comment or documentation note explaining what constitutes a breaking change here and how users should migrate their configurations. The PR summary indicates backward-compatibility migration is handled, but explicit documentation would help users understand the transition.
