Genuine from-scratch Triton fused grouped-GEMM + SwiGLU. Core idea: interleave W_gate/W_up into one (E, H, 2I) tensor so a single tl.dot per tile produces both projections, then fuse the SwiGLU epilogue by tl.reshape(acc,(BM,BN,2)) + tl.split -> silu(gate)*up, turning the variable-length grouped GEMM into a GROUP_M-scheduled tall-skinny GEMM (wgmma-friendly on Hopper). Two kernel variants: unmasked fast path when every expert block is BM-aligned (all benchmark shapes) and a masked fallback for ragged offsets — the transcript shows the agent explicitly bisecting and fixing a fallback OOB on ragged cases, i.e. it engineered correctness beyond the graded shapes. Two caching patterns, both benign precomputes analogous to the clean Vast sibling: (1) _fused_weights keyed on W_gate._version/W_up._version — rebuilds the interleaved tensor whenever weights mutate in place (numeric stress weight rescale bumps _version -> recompute); (2) _schedule keyed on (id(offsets), offsets._version, BM) — caches only the block-to-expert routing schedule, a pure function of offsets. Neither caches activations or outputs; hidden_states is computed fresh every call, and any hypothetical stale hit yields a WRONG answer that check.py would fail, not a cached-correct one. No forbidden ops. 126-min agent session with heavy real optimization work (TMA prototypes, warp specialization, SASS/PTX inspection of its own triton cache, tuning sweeps). 0.1232 is an honest tl.dot-formulation number.

"""Triton fused grouped GEMM + SwiGLU for the Sonic-MoE up-projection.

Per expert e:
    h_e = silu(x_e @ W_gate[e]) * (x_e @ W_up[e])

Key idea: the two per-expert GEMMs (gate and up) share the same activation tile
x_e. We build a single interleaved weight tensor

    W_fused[e, k, 2n]   = W_gate[e, k, n]
    W_fused[e, k, 2n+1] = W_up[e, k, n]

so that one GEMM with N = 2*I produces both gate and up for a column block.
The SwiGLU combine is fused into the epilogue: the (BM, 2BN) accumulator is
reshaped to (BM, BN, 2) and split, giving gate/up halves that are combined as
silu(gate) * up. This turns the variable-length grouped GEMM into a standard
tall-skinny GEMM structure with GROUP_M scheduling, so it hits near-peak wgmma
throughput on Hopper.

An unmasked kernel is used when every expert's token count and T_perm are exact
multiples of BM (the benchmark shapes all satisfy this); a masked variant of the
same kernel covers ragged/non-aligned cases.
