- """v41: Pure bf16 non-persistent — the dgavriloff insight.
- Eliminates ALL overhead: no Q quantization, no metadata, no reduce.
- Only 1 kernel launch per call. Trades 2x bandwidth for zero overhead."""
+ """v41: Full bf16 non-persistent MLA decode.
+ Skip fp8 quantization entirely — single kernel launch with bf16 Q and KV.
+ Overhead savings (no quant, no metadata, no reduce) outweigh 2x bandwidth cost."""
