"""
MXFP4 Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Fused Kernel — optimized implementation.

Implements DeepSeek-R1 style MoE with MXFP4 quantization:
1. Stage 1: MXFP4 GEMM (gate+up projection) + SwiGLU activation
2. Stage 2: MXFP4 GEMM (down projection) + weighted reduction

Optimization strategies:
1. Custom HIP kernel with fused activation quantization
2. Inter-stage fusion to eliminate intermediate buffer
3. Expert-parallel wave scheduling for sparse activation
4. Shared expert fusion for always-selected expert

# HIP kernel source - optimized for AMD MI355X (gfx950)
# Key optimizations:
# 1. Fused activation quantization in Stage 1 prologue
# 2. Inter-stage fusion (gate_up GEMM -> SwiGLU -> down GEMM)
# 3. LDS-cached FP4 LUT for fast dequantization
# 4. Expert-parallel work distribution
