Sonic MoE GPT-5.6 Sol

7.58%geomean peak fraction across shapes

manually audited: clean

Genuine fused MoE up-projection: a single Triton grouped-GEMM kernel with rectangular (tiles x experts) launch, device-side bounds from expert_offsets, dual fp32 tl.dot accumulators (gate and up share one A-tile load), and a fused silu(gate)*up epilogue stored bf16. Stateless module — no caches of any kind, no CUDA graphs, no data_ptr/id/hash keying, so the RTX PRO 6000 identity-keyed output-cache hack this model was caught on is definitively absent here. No forbidden ops, no grader/tolerance/stress bypass, no cross-run solution contamination. peak_fraction 0.0332 is an honest, unremarkable number (dense-equivalent FLOPs convention undercounts the K=8 permuted work by 8x, so all sonic cells read low).

"""SM90 grouped BF16 GEMM with a fused SwiGLU epilogue.

The routing used by this workload is balanced, so a rectangular launch over
experts is both faster and simpler than building a host-side grouped-GEMM
descriptor.  Bounds still come from the device offsets: partial and empty
expert tiles are masked without synchronizing those offsets to the CPU.
