"""Fused W4A16 (int4 weight, bf16 activation) GEMM for SM120 (RTX PRO 6000). Design notes: * Weights are lazily repacked once so each packed byte holds nibbles for k = g*128 + j (low) and k = g*128 + 64 + j (high) within group g. The two nibble planes of a (64, BN) byte tile then pair with two *contiguous* (BM, 64) activation tiles - no in-register interleave. * int4 -> bf16 unpack uses a magic OR: (b & 0xF) | 0x4300 is the bf16 bit pattern of (128 + w) exactly. Subtracting (128 + z) (also exact in bf16) yields exact (w - z) in bf16, so the zero-point is folded *before* the tensor-core dot and the per-group epilogue collapses to acc += t * s. * fp32 accumulate everywhere; matches the reference (which we ask to use full-precision reductions, see flag below) to ~1e-3. * Weight/scale/zero loads use eviction_policy="evict_last": the packed weights of all benchmark shapes fit in the 96MB L2, so repeated decode calls stream them from L2 instead of DRAM. * Split-K with an fp32 workspace + tiny reduce kernel gives the M=1 decode shapes enough CTAs to saturate the chip.
