NVFP4 grouped query attention

23 eligible runs
quantization

FP4-quantized Grouped Query Attention (GQA) with 64 query heads and 8 key-value heads (8:1 ratio). Performs Q/K/V projections with FP4 weights, applies RoPE embeddings, computes attention with repeat_kv for GQA, and produces output via FP4 output projection.
