"""Kimi Delta Attention forward, chunk form -- custom Triton kernels for SM90. Two kernels. `_prep` is embarrassingly parallel over (chunk, batch*head). Per 64-token chunk it builds the WY/UT-transform quantities: gc = cumsum(g) (log2 domain, so exp2 everywhere) kq = k * exp(-gc) kg = k * exp(gc) qg = q * scale * exp(gc) L = -tril_strict(beta * (kg @ kq^T)) A = (I - L)^-1 @ diag(beta) (Neumann doubling; L is nilpotent) w = A @ kg u = A @ v Aqk = tril_incl(qg @ kq^T) k2 = kq * exp(g_total) (for the state update) `_chain` carries the [K, V] state serially over chunks: v_new = u - w @ S o = qg @ S + Aqk @ v_new S = exp(g_total) * S + k2^T @ v_new The output-side identity is what makes the split this cheap: the textbook form is o = P @ S + z with P = qg - Aqk @ w and z = Aqk @ u, which makes `_prep` do three more [64,*] dots and write a second V-space tile. Expanding it, o = qg @ S + Aqk @ (u - w @ S) = qg @ S + Aqk @ v_new so `_prep` just hands over qg and Aqk (8 KB/chunk less traffic, 3 fewer dots) and the two extra dots land on `_chain`'s otherwise idle SMs, off its S -> v_new -> S' critical path. Everything the recurrence touches is fp32; only GEMM operands are bf16.
