"""FP8 e4m3 GEMM for H100 (SM90 Hopper) using Triton WGMMA fp8 tensor cores. y = ((x @ w.T) * weight_scale).to(bf16) x: fp8_e4m3 (M, K) w: fp8_e4m3 (N, K) -- already-normalized weights (row-major) weight_scale: fp32 (N,) per-output-channel dequant scale out: bf16 (M, N) This kernel drives Hopper's `wgmma.mma_async` with e4m3.e4m3 operands and an fp32 accumulator, then applies the per-channel scale before writing bf16. It supports arbitrary K (predicated tail), so the off-alignment shape (K=4127) falls out naturally. Interface matches reference.py exactly: same Model, get_inputs, get_init_inputs, same `weight` / `weight_scale` buffers (strict state_dict load in check.py).
