Benchmark boundary review (2026-09-12; existing qualified measurements)

The six GPU-performance shapes below use a matched complete routed-operator boundary: the same prequantized activation codes/scales, logical weights and supplied route IDs/weights produce BF16 output. Stock TRTLLM includes permutation, both GEMMs/intermediate quantization and finalization. The candidate includes route alignment, FP32 accumulation initialization, the fused core and BF16 copy-back. GPU kernel durations are summed; host submission gaps and serving throughput are separate metrics. This is not an identical single-kernel comparison.

The invocation starts with an already zeroed output buffer; reset is outside both timed arms. The candidate is additive and requires that initial state for this fresh-output comparison, while stock overwrites output. Starting from arbitrary output memory would add candidate preparation work. Fixed routed-scalar folding into stock route weights is an untimed ABI representation conversion; arithmetic reassociation and intermediate rounding need not be bitwise identical. Unit global-scale performance fixtures remain distinct from the separately reported real-model ModelOpt correctness evidence.

Source and actual CUDA-activity review found no incorrect denominator in the qualified measurements. All 6/6 measured shapes have GPU-sum speedup below 1x: 0.3072x, 0.2292x, 0.1703x, 0.2553x, 0.1606x and 0.0820x. These are the existing audited measurements, not a new inference or timing run. For the source M8 first paired round, the candidate core alone took 124.880 microseconds, versus 41.712 microseconds for the entire stock operator; wrapper work alone cannot explain that sample's regression. Core-only versus complete-stock speedup remains N/A because the core has not completed the BF16 output.


📌 Description

Add SM100a/SM103a NVFP4 expert up/down compute with fused gate/up projection, SwiGLU, intermediate requantization and down projection. The final implementation accumulates weighted partial outputs in FP32 before converting once to BF16, and the SGLang integration preserves ModelOpt's independent checkpoint scale semantics and GLM's stock grouped-sigmoid routing.

Real SGLang E2E correctness: PASS on the final GLM-5.2-NVFP4 workload below. Stock flashinfer_trtllm expert compute versus AlphaMoE NVFP4 gives 1254/1314 → 1255/1314 correct (95.4338% → 95.5099%, +0.0761 percentage points), passing the unchanged 92% accuracy / −0.5 percentage-point delta thresholds. All 1314 HTTP requests succeeded on each side; empty answers remain scored wrong. The retained independent audit verifies paired inputs, runtime shapes and actual NVFP4 kernels on all four TP ranks. Serving performance fails at C1/C8/C16 (0.333169× / 0.195529× / 0.152982×, 0/5 wins each). The preceding 1267 → 1249/1314 accuracy failure and all per-repeat performance records remain below.

New kernel measurements on 2026-09-13 UTC use combined FlashInfer checkout f5c95353d3723360c55c6af313afd09bbd8bfdac; the NVFP4 implementation is unchanged in the current PR head. Python 3.12.3, PyTorch 2.13.0+cu130, CUDA 13.0 and CUPTI Python 13.0.1 were used. The TRTLLM module was built for the benchmark FFI runtime; an earlier incompatible-AOT attempt is excluded. These GPU-only performance fixtures are separate from the retained real-model ModelOpt-scale correctness validation.

NVFP4 routed MoE GPU performance

Hardware: NVIDIA GB300; one GPU per measurement. Five paired rounds per shape, 30 cold-L2 samples per arm per round, strict CUPTI activity tracing without timing-backend fallback. Each round has 30 explicit warmup invocations per arm. Compilation, autotuning, fixture allocation and output reset are outside the recorded intervals.

GPU sum is the sum of correlated kernel durations. GPU span is the first-to-last correlated activity interval and includes inter-kernel gaps; it can therefore include delays between host submissions. They are different measurements and are reported separately. Speedup = baseline duration / candidate duration; below 1× is a regression. Summary durations are medians of five round medians, and summary speedups are medians of the five paired ratios.

Before/after-round and endpoint nvidia-smi observations reported SM clocks of 120–2070 MHz (62 GPU-row readings). These are observations across the reported GPU rows, not clock locks or a normalization factor.

These deterministic performance fixtures reuse the retained generators. They are not real-model accuracy evidence; the separate real-model SGLang E2E correctness section remains authoritative. Five rounds are repeated workload samples, not five independent service starts.

Baseline: TRTLLM pre-routed NVFP4 MoE operator, including its permutation and finalization. Candidate: GPU route alignment plus the public NVFP4 API, including FP32 accumulation setup and BF16 output conversion. Both complete the same logical prequantized-activation/route-input to BF16-output operator. Model-specific input/weight conversion is outside timing. The retained performance fixtures use unit expert global scales; this table is not a repeat of the real-model ModelOpt-scale correctness validation.

Both use SwiGLU, NVFP4 groups of 16 with E4M3 block scales, and BF16 final output. The TRTLLM call uses supplied route IDs/weights, do_finalize=True, local expert offset 0, all E local experts, no bias/LoRA, the Renormalize routing-method enum, and tune_max_num_tokens=8192. PDL follows the device-support setting. Its ordinary initial autotuning selects the stock tactic before timed calls.

For H=7168/I=128 rows, the fixed routed scaling 2.5 is folded into the baseline's supplied route weights as its ABI representation conversion before timing. GLM-geometry rows use scaling 1.0. Weight layout conversion and the baseline's initial autotuning are untimed. Candidate alignment uses the required E+1 SGL bucket convention. The device-core diagnostic below only updates a preallocated FP32 accumulator and does not complete BF16 output, so its speedup against the complete baseline is N/A.

Separate candidate diagnostics — no complete-baseline speedup

The aligned API omits route alignment but includes FP32 accumulation setup/BF16 output conversion. The FP32 device core omits alignment and both conversions, and only produces the FP32 accumulator. Neither diagnostic is divided into the broader baseline duration.

Successful timing step: 155.891 s physical execution, 135.744 s benchmark-runner time, including setup and stock autotuning outside the microsecond GPU intervals. Earlier environment/alignment/AOT preflights do not supply qualifying performance evidence.

FP32 accumulation repair — real-model accuracy PASS, performance FAIL

Weighted NVFP4 partial outputs now accumulate in FP32 and convert once to the public BF16 output. The additive output behavior is preserved; a temporary FP32 [M, K] buffer adds 4*M*K bytes and initialization/conversion launches. The measured revision's scoped CI passed compilation/import checks; the real GLM evaluation and independent raw audit below provide its model evidence.

Current public head: c691f3b532ef6550109fc3a028fd9012beaf9b70. The final FP32 NVFP4 implementation at 17d0ba9ab8fc43cafbd0981944013f622a9f99fc was tested in the combined revision f5c95353d3723360c55c6af313afd09bbd8bfdac; its implementation files, bindings and registration are unchanged by the later main merge. These remain the original measurements, not a new run of the merged checkout. SGLang runtime 5407ec1a7dfee227a408702addcc15007ec7f126 and unchanged public head 05b536ae075e56145c3e80b9bd6a4bec58b6265b have identical complete python/sglang trees; their only differences are two CI test files.

The full run and an independent audit of its retained raw records are complete. Accuracy passes the unchanged ≥0.92 / delta ≥−0.005 gate; serving performance fails at every concurrency. The extra correct answer does not establish a statistically significant improvement or attribute the earlier regression solely to accumulation precision.

GSM8K uses the repository's retained five-shot chat scorer (sglang.test.simple_eval_mixed_prefix_gsm8k.GSM8KEval), all 1,314 held-out examples (the first five of the 1,319-example split supply the examples), temperature 0, top-p 1, and a 2,048-token generation limit. Both variants receive the same prompts and references.

Accuracy gate: PASS. Both accuracies must be at least 0.92, and candidate minus baseline must be ≥ −0.005. The candidate gained 21 questions and lost 20; a passing accuracy gate does not assert bitwise equality or zero accuracy loss.

End-to-end kernel verification: PASS. This additionally requires complete server/request evidence and actual GPU kernel traces for each AlphaMoE variant in this comparison.

Performance

Five fixed-workload repetitions run per server variant and are paired by repeat ID and seed. They are not five independent server launches. All repeats are included. Throughput speedup is candidate output tokens/s divided by baseline output tokens/s; values below 1 are regressions. TTFT, TPOT and request E2E columns are per-repeat medians in milliseconds; lower is better.

Workload: 8192 input / 512 output tokens, 4 × concurrency requests per repeat.

Post-health GSM8K dispatch/capture receipts observed execution modes: decode_graph_replay, eager, prefill_graph_replay. Startup capture and fixed-workload performance requests are excluded from this coverage.

Observed AlphaMoE runtime shapes below come from those request receipts. Kernel M is the submitted kernel geometry, or the registered capture geometry when a real request replayed that graph. Dispatch M includes graph padding; real tokens are the actual request tokens before that padding. Each column lists its observed values separately, not a Cartesian product of supported shapes. An inclusive range contains only consecutive values that were all observed; missing values are not inferred. The stock baseline has no AlphaMoE kernel shape records.

GPU execution witness: PASS. After unprofiled measurements, one stored real GSM8K prompt was replayed with a 32-token limit under SGLang's GPU/CUPTI profiler. This request is excluded from accuracy and performance. Required actual CUDA kernel symbols in all four TP traces: kernel_alpha_moe_nvfp4_up_down.

Harness invocation wall time: 6427.43 s (includes server startup, evaluation, optional timing/profiling and cleanup; excludes scheduler queue time). GSM8K runtime and per-request serving latency are reported separately above.

Final request integrity and physical timing

The auditor reconstructed every score from the canonical question, five-shot prompt, final successful HTTP response and returned SDK content. Both sides cover the same 1,314 held-out IDs. Empty final answers count as incorrect; failed or missing final requests cannot pass request integrity.

Full managed execution and first-start-to-completion turnaround: 6484.477 s; model harness: 6427.427 s. The serving rows measure completed HTTP workloads; startup, compilation, model loading and profiler collection are outside those rows. The GSM8K API times and per-request latencies have their separate boundaries above. All per-question paired outputs, HTTP receipts, serving records, post-health runtime shapes and four-rank device profiles are retained.


📌 Description

Add alphamoe_nvfp4_aligned_moe, the SM100a/SM103a fused NVFP4 gate/up → SwiGLU → down compute API over a caller-provided aligned route plan. It accumulates weighted contributions into a temporary FP32 output buffer, converts once into caller-owned BF16 output, and returns None. Gate/up activation intermediates remain inside the fused kernel.

Current real-model E2E accuracy and request/kernel integrity pass; serving performance fails. All regressions are reported below. The candidate now includes ModelOpt scale plumbing required by a real NVFP4 checkpoint. Review updates were prepared at 85de99d87cb9e86076296d29264d53f09cafb748; the historical raw-PR and scale-patched integration are distinguished below.

2026-09-12 preceding NVFP4 revision: accuracy FAIL; complete serving and response diagnostics

These results belong to the preceding NVFP4 implementation, public revision 85de99d87cb9e86076296d29264d53f09cafb748, contained in the combined FlashInfer revision c6407025a445d0d6c3bcfd28a7326456b17e4387, on 4×GB300. Its recorded full-model accuracy fails the unchanged gate, and its complete serving measurements fail the performance gate. The FP32 accumulation repair introduced in public revision 17d0ba9ab8fc43cafbd0981944013f622a9f99fc is a different implementation. The final FP32 run is reported separately above and passes accuracy while failing performance. No result in this section establishes correctness or performance of that repair. The eight selected diagnostic responses and later serving/profile measurements remain separate from the original 1,314-question evaluation.

Model: nvidia/GLM-5.2-NVFP4 at aec724e8c7b8ee9db3b48c01c320f63f9cdaf8aa. SGLang: 5407ec1a7dfee227a408702addcc15007ec7f126; FlashInfer: c6407025a445d0d6c3bcfd28a7326456b17e4387.

Comparison: stock MoE backend → AlphaMoE NVFP4 MoE. TP4 / EP1 / DP1, execution mode graph, speculative decoding disabled, shared-expert fusion disabled on both sides.

TP4/EP1 with speculative decoding and shared-expert fusion disabled on both sides; the current model registration also tests MTP, which is outside this AlphaMoE integration's supported scope.

GSM8K uses the repository's retained five-shot chat scorer (sglang.test.simple_eval_mixed_prefix_gsm8k.GSM8KEval), all 1,314 held-out examples (the first five of the 1,319-example split supply the examples), temperature 0, top-p 1, and a 2,048-token generation limit. Both variants receive the same prompts and references.

The recorded accuracy regression fails the required gate. Full response diagnostics remain separate.

The original full evaluation recorded every answer but failed its empty-response guard. Its original scores below are unchanged. The later diagnostic replayed four selected original prompts sequentially and recorded complete HTTP responses, then measured serving and GPU execution using restarted servers. Selected responses do not replace, rescore or validate the full evaluation.

Recorded accuracy change: -1.3699 percentage points. Acceptance still requires both accuracies ≥ 0.92, candidate minus baseline ≥ −0.005, and complete paired request evidence. Empty final answers are graded incorrect. The original harness additionally stopped on empty text; that stop does not erase the measured accuracy regression. This diagnostic makes no passing accuracy claim.

Four selected original prompts were replayed sequentially with the same generation settings. An empty final answer can coexist with successful HTTP completion when the reasoning uses the token budget. These observations diagnose response termination and do not replace the original high-concurrency outputs.

Performance

Five fixed-workload repetitions run per server variant and are paired by repeat ID and seed. They are not five independent server launches. All repeats are included. Throughput speedup is candidate output tokens/s divided by baseline output tokens/s; values below 1 are regressions. TTFT, TPOT and request E2E columns are per-repeat medians in milliseconds; lower is better.

Workload: 8192 input / 512 output tokens, 4 × concurrency requests per repeat.

Post-health GSM8K dispatch/capture receipts observed execution modes: decode_graph_replay, eager, prefill_graph_replay. Startup capture and fixed-workload performance requests are excluded from this coverage.

Observed AlphaMoE runtime shapes below come from those request receipts. Kernel M is the submitted kernel geometry, or the registered capture geometry when a real request replayed that graph. Dispatch M includes graph padding; real tokens are the actual request tokens before that padding. Each column lists its observed values separately, not a Cartesian product of supported shapes. An inclusive range contains only consecutive values that were all observed; missing values are not inferred. The stock baseline has no AlphaMoE kernel shape records.

GPU execution witness: PASS. After unprofiled measurements, one stored real GSM8K prompt was replayed with a 32-token limit under SGLang's GPU/CUPTI profiler. This request is excluded from accuracy and performance. Required actual CUDA kernel symbols in all four TP traces: kernel_alpha_moe_nvfp4_up_down.

This invocation's physical wall time: 5814.13 s (includes server startup, evaluation, optional timing/profiling and cleanup; excludes scheduler queue time). GSM8K runtime and per-request serving latency are reported separately above.

The invocation time above is the follow-up diagnostic/serving invocation only; the original full GSM8K evaluation ran earlier. Full-evaluation runtime shapes come from the original post-health request trace; the four-rank device profile comes from the later diagnostic. Neither is a replacement correctness evaluation.

Original evaluation plus follow-up physical execution: 8935.65 s; turnaround from first start to final completion: 9829.03 s, including intervening gaps.

Public ABI and scale semantics

  • Activations/weights pack two E2M1 values per uint8 byte, even element in the low nibble. E4M3 scales are contiguous linear per-16 values, not 128×4-swizzled scales.
  • Activations/scales: [M,K/2] / [M,K/16].
  • Gate/up weights/scales: [E,N,K/2] / [E,N,K/16], conventional [gate;up] rows; intermediate width I=N/2.
  • Down weights/scales: [E,K,N/4] / [E,K,N/32].
  • Three explicit, mandatory FP32 [E] scale tensors are now part of the proposed API: output1_scale_gate_scalar multiplies gate before SiLU; output1_scale_scalar supplies the up/global-to-intermediate-quantization factor; output2_scale_scalar supplies the down output factor before route weighting. Callers with unit global scales pass unit tensors. This updates the original, unreleased PR signature.
  • The SGLang integration retains the checkpoint input quantization scale and preserves independent gate/up/down and intermediate-activation scale semantics. It does not approximate them by folding into E4M3 block scales.
  • K >= 256, K % 256 == 0, N >= 256, N % 256 == 0, block_m >= 8, and block_m % 8 == 0.
  • Output is aligned, contiguous BF16 [M,K], seeded or zeroed by the caller. Input/output overlap is rejected. Valid row-strided activations are supported.
  • Active route IDs and extent remain caller obligations; host checks cover capacity, signed-index bounds, device, layout, alignment and launch dimensions.
  • Exact SM100a/SM103a JIT/AOT targets, backend metadata and in-place fi_trace modeling are retained. The review update also corrects the validation-test regex literal.

The redundant tests/jit/test_alphamoe_nvfp4_jit.py file has been removed; functional API and trace coverage remain in their existing locations.

FP32 real-model E2E scope and unchanged accuracy gate

SGLang #34072 admits nvidia/GLM-5.2-NVFP4@aec724e8c7b8ee9db3b48c01c320f63f9cdaf8aa, TP4/EP1, E256/H6144/I_local512/routed_top_k8/BM8, BF16 activations and separate shared experts. Its NVFP4 path retains the model's existing grouped/sigmoid TopK, correction bias, renormalization and routed scaling. It does not substitute the selected-logit-softmax router from #4339.

The baseline uses flashinfer_trtllm; the candidate uses flashinfer_alphamoe. The completed correctness evaluation used canonical full GSM8K 5-shot chat, temperature zero, max output 2,048, identical question IDs/prompts and retained answers. Both scores must be ≥0.92 and candidate-minus-baseline ≥−0.005. All 1,314 canonical held-out questions were evaluated.

Runtime shape collection is armed only after health. Eager and graph dispatch receipts must be accompanied by actual GPU kernel execution evidence. Synthetic tensors, startup buckets, compile-only checks and microbenchmarks are not model-correctness evidence.

Historical E2E correctness and performance

The following tables are restored reports from 2026-08-08, not results reproduced during this delivery. The source revisions and environments differ from the current candidate. Full raw per-request/per-repeat artifacts have not been revalidated in this session; rounded values are preserved as reported. These historical tables are separate from the current-head results above.

Historical model: nvidia/GLM-5.2-NVFP4 at aec724e8c7b8ee9db3b48c01c320f63f9cdaf8aa, 4×GB300, TP4/EP1, flashinfer_trtllm baseline versus the AlphaMoE NVFP4 integration. The candidate included per-expert ModelOpt scale plumbing and a shared CUDA 13.3 attention-header compatibility fix. It was not raw #4340 at c0913e5060a6ddda6aaeb606e0f7bedeecfc3147.

The old accuracy gate passed: both scores exceeded 0.92 and the candidate drop was within 0.005. This establishes only the reported benchmark threshold result for that scale-patched integration. It does not establish identical outputs, general numerical equivalence, or correctness of raw #4340.

Historical serving used 8,192 input / 512 output tokens at C1/C8/C16. All 30 baseline/candidate workload executions were reported complete. There were five workload repeats within one server deployment per backend; these are not five independently restarted deployments. Speedup below is candidate throughput / baseline throughput; larger than one favors the candidate.

“Not restored” means the visible recovery report lacked that row's absolute baseline/candidate durations. The reported ratios have not been independently recomputed from raw artifacts. No absolute measurements have been inferred from them.

Performance regressed by approximately 3.0×, 4.95× and 6.37× in runtime. The historical overall acceptance failed on performance, despite complete workloads and a passing accuracy threshold.

Runtime reports recorded E256/H6144/I_local512/routed_top_k8/TP4/EP1, separate shared experts, and 278 eager M values spanning 513–16384 after health. They did not establish decode-graph kernel coverage. Exact TTFT/TPOT and memory comparison rows were not restored.

Historical API comparison, separate from model E2E

The recovered report states that both implementations passed a common FP4 comparison before 30-sample CUPTI cold-L2 timing. These are fixture rows, not live model-shape coverage.

The peer conversion used the correct gate/up layout and folded routed scaling into precomputed route weights because that peer entry point did not apply the scalar parameter. These operator results do not override the GLM service slowdown and do not validate the newly extended API.

New serving results must report all five baseline/candidate workload repeats at C1/C8/C16, 8,192 input / 512 output tokens, per-repeat speedup, TTFT/TPOT and available memory metrics. Missing historical rows will remain marked missing until source artifacts are verified; they will not be reconstructed from ratios.

🚀 Pull Request Checklist

Thank you for contributing to FlashInfer! Before we review your pull request, please make sure the following items are complete.

✅ Pre-commit Checks

  • I have installed pre-commit by running pip install pre-commit (or used your preferred method).
  • I have installed the hooks with pre-commit install.
  • I have run the hooks manually with pre-commit run --all-files and fixed any reported issues.

If you are unsure about how to set up pre-commit, see the pre-commit documentation.

🧪 Tests

  • Tests have been added or updated as needed.
  • All tests are passing (unittest, etc.).

New verification on 2026-09-12: the repository pre-commit suite passed on the PR changes before the latest main-only merge, including applicable formatting, Ruff and mypy checks. Checks were executed in the compute environment. The subsequent merge of main aeab8e9 changes unrelated attention files; the reviewed AlphaMoE files remain identical. Full-tree hooks, GPU compilation and runtime/model checks are not claimed by that result. The current FP32 SGLang E2E and independent raw audit pass accuracy and request/kernel integrity; all serving performance results fail the stated performance gate. Existing kernel tests and trace/ABI checks are engineering coverage; they do not establish model accuracy.

🔬 Experimental Track

  • This PR is experimental: it adds or changes code under flashinfer/experimental/ and/or an @flashinfer_experimental_api. Tracking issue: #
    • The tracking issue names an owner, the reason for the experimental path, and a graduation plan with a target release.
    • Core changes are limited to a thin entry point (signature, shared validation, feature-gate check, backend selection, handoff).
    • Tests live in tests/experimental/ and were validated on the intended hardware; a runnable example is included.
    • Nothing is registered in flashinfer/aot.py, and no experimental backend is reachable from backend="auto" without FLASHINFER_ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_AUTO_BACKENDS=1. (Calling an @flashinfer_experimental_api or naming a backend explicitly is itself the opt-in and needs no environment variable.)
    • Test scope declared below. The experimental CI lane runs exactly these targets, so keep them as narrow as the change allows.
# One target per line: a directory or a file. (A pytest ::selector is not
# supported -- the sharding runner cannot consume one.) Must be under
# tests/experimental/ and must exist. Delete these comment lines and add yours, e.g.
#
#   tests/experimental/test_my_backend.py
#   tests/experimental/my_backend/
#
# Declaring the whole tree (tests/experimental/) is allowed but means every
# experimental PR pays for every other feature's tests, in every matrix cell.

Reviewer Notes

Please focus on the placement of the three expert scale factors, the linear per-16 scale layout, route-capacity checks and mandatory in-place output. The device source includes scale plumbing and FP32 output accumulation and is not claimed byte-identical to the original export. A historical accuracy-threshold pass is not a fresh current-revision correctness result or a performance justification for merging; the FP32 repair's current full-model results above pass accuracy and retain the measured serving regressions.

Cache the per-device invariants instead of querying them on every call.

cudaFuncSetAttribute runs on each launch, and CheckSm100OrSm103 (line 1828) issues two cudaDeviceGetAttribute calls on each launch. Both results are invariant for a given device and kernel. This API is a per-layer MoE step with microsecond-scale kernel time, so the repeated runtime and driver queries add avoidable host latency on the request thread. Cache both per device id.

1646-1648: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The reference oracle ignores the three per-expert scale scalars.

_alphamoe_nvfp4_reference never reads output1_scale_gate_scalar, output1_scale_scalar, or output2_scale_scalar. The kernel contract multiplies the gate accumulator, the up accumulator, and the down accumulator by these per-expert values. _make_alphamoe_nvfp4_data sets all three to ones, so the oracle agrees today. If the generator later emits non-unit scales, the refcheck compares against the wrong result.

Apply the scales in the oracle, or assert that they are unit vectors so the limitation fails loudly.

Apply and vary all three per-expert output scales in the oracle.

Every case sets these scales to one. _reference also omits them. A kernel that ignores a scale, uses the wrong expert scale, or applies a scale at the wrong stage can therefore pass all correctness tests.

Use non-unit per-expert values. Apply the gate scale before SiLU. Apply the up scale before SwiGLU multiplication. Apply the down scale before route weighting.

The current compilation context normalizes unsuffixed 10.0/10.3 targets to 10.0a/10.3a before JIT and AOT selection. AlphaMoE's AOT registration uses the exact-target capability flags from that context, matching its JIT filtering. Explicit family targets remain excluded: this implementation requires the architecture-specific instruction set. No family-target support is being claimed. The updated source retains this behavior; fresh model E2E remains pending before merge.

Block merge until current-revision real-model validation passes.

The CUDA binding requires a separate FP32 [M, K] accumulator. out.to(torch.float32) allocates 4 * M * K bytes and performs a full-output read/write. out.copy_(accumulator) adds another full-output read/write pass. This can reduce serving throughput and memory headroom. Re-run correctness and serving benchmarks, then resolve any material regression before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Accumulate the reference in FP32 before converting to BF16.

_alphamoe_nvfp4_reference rounds each routed contribution to BF16 before adding it. The CUDA kernel accumulates into the FP32 accumulator with cp.reduce...add.f32, and the wrapper converts to BF16 only after the kernel completes. This mismatch can make --refcheck reject correct output or accept per-route-BF16 accumulation. Update the benchmark and seeded-output reference paths to accumulate in FP32 and convert once at the end. This is limited to benchmark validation.
