- v211: M<=32 K<=1024 cache_modifier=None (from .cg).
+ v25: Hand-written Triton FP4 GEMM using tl.dot_scaled directly.
+ Minimal kernel — no wrapper overhead, no split-K reduce for small shapes.
   
- For K=512 BSM=8 BSN=128 BSK=256, B data per block is 32KB FP4.
- Without .cg, L1 caching improves latency for 2 K-iterations.
- AMD library default uses null for this config.
+ Key optimizations vs best_submission:
+ 1. Single unified kernel for ALL shapes (no Python dispatch overhead)
+ 2. For K=7168: use BSK=512 with fewer iterations (3.5 vs 7 splits)
+ 3. Inline PREQUANT with tl.dot_scaled("e2m1") — same as best but fewer ops
+ 4. Pre-compute all reshapes once at init, not per-call
