Real Triton w4a16 GEMM — int4 weights unpacked inline inside the kernel (`& 0xf`, `>> 4`), not pre-unpacked at init. fp16 activations × packed int4 weights → bf16 output, the intended computation. Looks fine.
audited by hand — see results/annotations/ for the full schema.
Results are stable at peak_fraction=0.1344. Let me try a persistent kernel approach to reduce launch overhead for M=1 (our biggest gap vs SOTA), and also try accumulating in bf16 for larger shapes to reduce register pressure:

1: I need you to write a weight-only int4 quantized GEMM (W4A16) for the RTX PRO 6000 (SM120 Blackwell, GDDR7, 1.8 TB/s). The reference implementation is in reference.py and your kernel goes in solution.py. You can make whatever mess you want in this directory — scratch files, intermediate kernels, build artifacts, profiling traces — but the final answer has to be in solution.py with the same Model, get_inputs, and get_init_inputs interface as reference.py.
2: 
3: The scheme is AWQ/GPTQ-style asymmetric int4 with explicit zero-points and per-group bf16 scales. Inputs are x of shape (M, K) bf16, w_q of shape (K // 2, N) uint8 (two int4 weights packed per byte, low nibble = even-K row, high nibble = odd-K row), scales of shape (K // 128, N) bf16, and zeros of shape (K // 128, N) bf16. Group size is 128 along K. Dequant per group is w_bf[k, n] = (unpack(w_q)[k, n] - zeros[k // 128, n]) * scales[k // 128, n], and the output is (M, N) bf16. Correctness tolerance is 0.10 abs/rel — group-quant adds noise on top of bf16 accumulator slop. The shapes you have to handle are M=1 N=12288 K=4096 (decode, memory-bound on the int4 weight read), M=32 N=12288 K=4096 (small prefill, mixed regime), M=256 N=12288 K=4096 (larger prefill, approaching compute-bound), M=1 N=4096 K=4096 (decode, square), and M=16 N=14336 K=4096 (speculative-decode-ish).

# Kernel Optimization

Unified reference for GPU/TPU kernel work across all platforms. This skill routes to specialized sub-references based on what you need.

## When this skill fires

- Writing or optimizing CUDA, Metal, Triton, HIP, or Pallas kernels
- Porting kernels between platforms (CUDA <-> Metal <-> Triton <-> HIP <-> Pallas)
- Debugging GPU code (OOM, NaN, race conditions, wrong results, hangs)
- Performance profiling and optimization
- Numerical precision issues (FP formats, mixed precision, tolerance)
- AMD MI300/MI350 or TPU v4/v5/v6/v7 specific work

# Performance Optimization Atlas

Comprehensive, hierarchical reference for optimizing GPU workloads. Pick combinations from this atlas based on your bottleneck profile. **Always profile before optimizing.**

---

## 0. FIRST PRINCIPLES: SPEED OF LIGHT, THEN PROFILE

### Rule
Never optimize blind. But before you even profile, compute the **speed of light** -- the theoretical physical limit for this operation. Then profile to measure the gap. The gap IS the optimization opportunity.

### Speed of Light Analysis
1. **Compute the limit**: What does physics allow? Peak FLOPS, peak bandwidth, minimum latency for this exact workload
2. **Profile current state**: Where are we now?
3. **Measure the gap**: speed_of_light - measured = optimization budget
4. **Don't continuous-improve from current state**: Strip to zero. If you built this from scratch knowing only the physical limits, what would you build? Then reason about every piece of the gap between that and current
   - "It takes 74ms" -- don't optimize to 72ms. Compute that physics allows 6ms. Now reason about the 6-to-74 gap. The rest might be well-reasoned compromises, but at least you know what they are

The CUDA C++ version is much worse than Triton because my kernels are naive - no vectorized loads, no loop unrolling, no shared memory optimization for GEMM. Let me go back to the Triton version (which had peak_fraction=0.1335, RESULT: OK) and optimize further, then also try a properly optimized CUDA C++ version with vectorized loads.
