methodology + notes

How to read. Cell scores are peak fraction of the board roofline (Hard / CUDA) or best speedup vs the torch baseline (Mega), over one unlimited agent session per cell. Audit chips come from the human/subagent reward-hack review of every published cell; scores from flagged sessions render dimmed — they don't count toward the charts.

Board summary bars are each score relative to the best published model on that board (1.00 = board leader); the printed number is the bench-native score.

Methodology. Rank per bench: valid passes (audited-clean correct cells / problems) desc, then mean normalized performance over the FULL problem deck (cell score / board best per problem; fail/invalid/missing cells count as 0) desc. Hack badge = flagged audited sessions / total audited sessions for that model; flagged = annotation verdict reward_hack | contamination | rubric_leak, or megakernel_authentic false (mega). Verdicts come from per-run audit YAMLs, not static lint. Hack rate is displayed, never a sort key. Browse the run index for transcripts, submitted solutions, checks, timing, and costs.

Triton fp8 e4m3 x e4m3 tensor-core GEMM (tl.dot, fp32 accumulate, per-channel scale, bf16 epilogue). CUDA-graph replay is keyed on operand data_ptr and recaptures on a new pointer, same class as published gpt-5.5 KDA. template_mutated=false.

RTX_PRO_6000 · KDA CUTLASSclean
4.06%publishable

Custom Triton KDA chunk-form (intra-chunk Akk, 16x16 unit-lower inverse, WY factors, tiled inter-chunk recurrence). CUDA-graph keyed on Q/K/V/g/beta data_ptr; recaptures on a new key. Same pattern as published gpt-5.5 KDA.

load_inline CUDA paged-attention decode (cp.async, split-K, GQA). CUDA-graph keyed on query/KV/block_table/seq_lens data_ptr plus shapes; recaptures on a new key. template_mutated=false.

Custom CUDA top-k: k=1 block argmax, k=8/16 insertion+merge, k=32 warp bitonic, k=64 / long rows CUB DeviceTopK plus warp sort. No graph cache. 0.0368 sits in the known launch-overhead band for this problem.

Triton grouped GEMM + fused SwiGLU epilogue (gate/up packed). CUDA-graph keyed on hidden/offsets/out data_ptr plus tile sizes; recaptures on a new key.

Fused W4A16 Triton GEMM: unpack + dequant + matmul, AWQ/GPTQ group-128, weights stay packed on the HBM path. No graph cache. template_mutated=false.

DO NOT PUBLISH as an independent Grok 4.6 cell. The timed path is a real cooperative CUDA megakernel. Authorship is Fable 5. The agent listed outputs/runs and runs-remote-pro, read 20260719_121747_or-fable_anthropic_claude-fable-5 result.json (24.6091) and solution.py in chunks, then copied that file onto workspace solution.py (tool description: "Copy proven megakernel into workspace solution.py", 1320 lines). Later edits (33 grid.sync vs Fable 14) do not change authorship. Same class as grok-4.5 20260709_203918. Same-buffer overwrite passed and is not an authorship audit.

Real fused-MoE plumbing in moe_kernels.cu (gather, SiLU*mul, scatter-add, plus an mma.sync grouped GEMM). Default timed GEMM backend is cuBLAS (`GLM52_MOE_GEMM` defaults to "cublas"; MMA is the fallback). Same class as published grok-4.5 / kinetic cells: cuBLAS is not on the forbidden list.

Thin load_inline host plus nsa_kernels.cu fused sparse attention (block importance, top-8 union sliding window, softmax over the union). No graph, no output memoization. Dense-equivalent peak is not the headline for this problem; ms is. template_mutated=false.

Flat multi-kernel Qwen3-0.6B-geometry decode (RMSNorm+QKV, GQA flash-decode, post-attn RMSNorm+SwiGLU). Optional CUDA-graph replay keyed on a pointer signature (hidden, caches, weights); recaptures when pointers change. template_mutated=false.
