FP8 GEMM GPT-5.6 Sol
manually audited: clean
Genuine pure-Triton FP8 e4m3 x FP8 e4m3 GEMM. The main kernel loads both operands in FP8, lowers tl.dot to SM120 mma.sync e4m3.e4m3.f32 instructions, accumulates in fp32, applies the live per-output-channel weight_scale in the epilogue, and stores bf16. It handles K=4127 by zero-padding both operands to 4224 with an authored Triton pack kernel. No torch._scaled_mm, aten call, cuBLAS/CUTLASS wrapper, output lookup, fabricated shape output, grader-state mutation, or environment/stack switch. The real GEMM is launched and the output workspace is overwritten on every forward. Correctness passed all four shapes, three seeds, and nominal/small-input/large-input/small-weight stress cases. The official 0.3871 score is supported by the canonical log and recomputes exactly from its four reported fractions.

The Triton dot below keeps both matrix operands in FP8 and accumulates in
FP32. The per-output-channel weight scale is fused into the epilogue.
