- """NVFP4 GEMV Ultra-Optimized Hybrid Kernel
+ """NVFP4 GEMV Ultra-Optimized v7 - Pre-compiled CuTe + Eager Warmup
   
- Key optimizations:
- 1. Skip to_blocked() by using pre-permuted scale factors directly
- 2. Use torch._scaled_mm for L=1 (Tensor Cores)
- 3. Use CuTe DSL for L>1 (efficient batching)
-  
- The pre-permuted scale factors (sfa_permuted, sfb_permuted) are already in a
- layout that can be converted to blocked format with a simple permute + reshape,
- saving ~43 μs per call compared to the full to_blocked() computation.
+ Optimizations:
+ 1. Pre-compile CuTe kernel at module import (not first call)
+ 2. Eager warmup for torch._scaled_mm path
+ 3. Cache scale factor tensors for common sizes
