Code Review

This pull request adds support for Expert Parallelism Load Balancing (EPLB) to the Qwen2 MoE model. The changes are mostly confined to vllm/model_executor/models/qwen2_moe.py and involve adding EPLB-related configurations, implementing the MixtureOfExperts interface, and updating the weight loading logic to handle expert replicas. The implementation appears to be heavily inspired by the existing deepseek_v2 model, which is a reasonable approach. I've identified one high-severity issue related to an import that creates an unnecessary dependency, which should be addressed to improve code maintainability.

To improve modularity and reduce coupling between different model implementations, MixtureOfExperts should be imported directly from its definition file. It is defined as a protocol in vllm.model_executor.models.interfaces. Importing from another model's implementation file (deepseek_v2) creates an unnecessary dependency.

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

🚀
