Greptile SummaryThis PR adds SM120 (GB10x) compatibility guards across non-attention kernels — disabling TMA/grouped-GEMM paths that exceed SM120 shared-memory limits, forcing unfused NVFP4 RHT/quantization fallbacks, disabling unsupported stochastic-rounding PTX, and aligning grouped NVFP4 metadata with the actual fallback output layout. It also carries a general MXFP8 CAST_DBIAS race-condition fix and restores lost SM120 attention conditionals from a previous merge conflict.
Confidence Score: 5/5Safe to merge — the SM120 guards are well-scoped, the MXFP8 race fix is architecturally sound, and the grouped NVFP4 fallback paths are validated by the updated test suite. All changes are defensive: they disable unsupported code paths on SM120 rather than enabling new ones, and the one arch-agnostic fix (MXFP8 shared-memory barrier) is a straightforward synchronization addition with no risk of breaking non-SM120 paths. The only nit is a latent atol/rtol naming swap in a test helper where both values are currently equal. No files require special attention; the SM120 grouped NVFP4 fallback in cast.cpp is the most complex new path but is clearly gated and well-commented. Important Files Changed

The // KL: test function for CC 120 comment should be removed before merging — it reads as a personal debug note rather than production documentation.
More importantly, the name is_supported_by_CC_120() is semantically inconsistent with is_supported_by_CC_100(). is_supported_by_CC_100 returns >= 100 (meaning "supported by CC 100 or newer"), so by analogy is_supported_by_CC_120 would imply >= 120. However the implementation returns == 120 (exclusively SM120). Every call site uses this to disable a feature on SM120, not to enable something on SM120+. A name like is_exactly_CC_120() or is_CC_120_arch() would prevent future readers from misinterpreting the range semantics.

Shouldn't we be checking for any SM 12.X arch?

This comment (and the other one below) seems wrong to me. The contract is that I give tex.group_quantize a quantizer, and it gives me a matching grouped tensor. tex.group_quantize might internally have a fused or unfused implementation based on the SM arch, but externally I don't care since the results are the same.

The purpose of quantizers is to hide details of the recipes and supported kernel fusions. The contract is if the quantizer has optimize_for_gemm=True, then the quantized tensor has swizzled scales. The caller does not need to care or do any extra work depending on their system (or at least, they should get an error message). We should remove this logic and instead perform an unfused cast + swizzle in the quantize functions.

We should error out rather than silently ignoring user instructions:

Nit: I guess it's not that important since this is an internal helper function, but comments like this become wrong very quickly.

This bug seems like something we should fix, not hackily work around. Do we have any more info?

I don't like how SM 120 logic is spilling out into unrelated tests. I'd prefer just increasing the batch size so it supports all cases. Similar for the other change in this file.

Nit: I'd expect a function called _assert_sr_vs_rn_behavior to assert correct behavior in stochastic rounding vs round-to-nearest. A more accurate name would be something cumbersome like _assert_sr_setting_vs_true_rn_behavior, which is a sign of a design mistake (silently suppressing stochastic rounding rather than erroring out). One reason to put effort into choosing accurate names is that good names impose a tax on bad design.

If the discrepancy is due to changes in the attention backend, we should only relax the tols with MultiheadAttention and TransformerLayer.

This seems like a proper bug. If we run on SM 12.0, we want the test to fail rather than giving us a false pass.
