Qwen3.8-27B NVFP4 base engine build fails: Myelin removeEmptyProducersFromSubgraph not implemented for PLUGIN_V3 (Jetson Thor, TRT 10.13.3.9 and 10.14.1.48)

Environment

• Jetson AGX Thor (sm_110), L4T R38.4 (JetPack 7.1-class), CUDA 13.0
• TensorRT-Edge-LLM 0.10.0 (bb29145)
• TensorRT tested: 10.13.3.9-1+cuda13.0 (JetPack repo) AND 10.14.1.48-1+cuda13.0 (sbsa CUDA network repo) — same failure on both

Repro

Checkpoint: NVFP4 Qwen3.8-27B (ModelOpt NVFP4, group_size 16, MTP extra tensors), e.g. https://huggingface.co/lyf/Qwen3.8-27B-Heretic-ARA-NVFP4-MTP-VL

1. tensorrt-edgellm-export CKPT OUT --mtp → succeeds (after locally patching two exporter issues: (a) system scipy 1.8 vs numpy 2.x — from numpy import Inf ImportError when the venv uses --system-site-packages; (b) GDN fusion concatenating single-element weight_scale_2/input_scale buffers into a 4-element vector, which TRT's ONNX parser rejects: importTRT_FP4DynamicQuantize: Scale input must be a scalar — fixed by keeping numel==1 buffers unconcatenated in fuse_gdn_input_projections).
2. llm_build --onnxDir OUT/llm --engineDir ENG --maxBatchSize 1 --maxInputLen 4096 --maxKVCacheCapacity 32768 --maxVerifyTreeSize 4 --specBase →

[ERROR] IBuilder::buildSerializedNetwork: Error Code 1: Internal Error
(Not implemented for node type PLUGIN_V3. In removeEmptyProducersFromSubgraph
at optimizer/myelin/rewrite/removeEmptyTensors.cpp:257)   // TRT 10.13
... removeEmptyTensors.cpp:306                              // TRT 10.14

3. The MTP draft engine (--specDraft on OUT/mtp_draft) builds fine on both TRT versions. The draft ONNX contains only trt_edgellm::AttentionPlugin x1; the base ONNX additionally has trt_edgellm::gated_delta_net x48 and trt_edgellm::causal_conv1d x48, so the GDN plugins appear to be the PLUGIN_V3 nodes Myelin cannot handle.
4. The experimental direct (ONNX-less) builder fails identically at the same Myelin pass, so this is not ONNX-path specific.

Questions

• Which TRT version was Qwen3.8-27B Day-0 support validated against on Thor? Does it require JetPack 7.2 (CUDA 13.2 / TRT 10.16)?
• Is there a builder flag/env to route GDN plugin nodes around the failing Myelin rewrite pass?

Reproduce the failure with tensorrt-edgellm-export and llm_build using the reported Qwen3.8-27B checkpoint and TensorRT versions. Compare the base and MTP draft ONNX graphs, especially the gated_delta_net and causal_conv1d PLUGIN_V3 nodes, then determine whether a supported TensorRT version or builder workaround avoids the Myelin rewrite failure.
