Pure-Rust Metal GPU compute library for MLX-compatible inference on Apple Silicon
Documentation
//! ADR-028 §iter-485 H3 — Fused FA-vec-TQ-HB reduce + FWHT-sign-undo.
//!
//! Dispatcher for `flash_attn_vec_reduce_tq_hb_undo_dk{256,512}`.
//!
//! Replaces the (flash_attn_vec_reduce → fwht_sign_undo_f32) pair when the
//! env flag `HF2Q_TQ_HB_OUT_FUSED=1` is set in `forward_mlx.rs`. Saves one
//! dispatch + one forced memory_barrier per layer per decode token (~30 of
//! each at gemma4's 30 layers).
//!
//! Chesterton's fence: the unfused reduce + standalone fwht_sign_undo paths
//! are NOT modified. This module ONLY adds a new variant gated by env flag.
