Per-group FP8 quantization

17 eligible runs
quantization

Per-token-group FP8 E4M3 activation quantization as used in W8A8 LLM inference: for each group of group_size contiguous elements, scale = max(absmax, eps) / 448 and x_q = clamp(x / scale, -448, 448). Outputs are fp32 clamped to the FP8 range, written into pre-allocated x_q and per-group scale x_s tensors.
