FP8 MLA KV compression projection

47 eligible runs
mla-paged-attention

FP8-quantized Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) KV compression projection with low-rank bottleneck. Compresses hidden_size (7168) to kv_lora_rank + qk_rope_head_dim (576), applies RMSNorm on compressed representation, then expands to num_heads * (qk_nope_head_dim + v_head_dim) (24576). Uses BlockWise1x128 scaling for activations and BlockWise128x128 scaling for weights.
