FireEcho Goliath β€” Native FP4/FP8/INT2/FE-XC/FE-XVQ Fused Triton GEMM Kernel
===============================================================================
Part of the FireEcho Engine β€” Custom inference kernel for NVIDIA Blackwell
Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Echo (FireEcho Project). All rights reserved.
A unified quantized GEMM kernel that dequantizes inside the Triton matmul
loop β€” no separate dequantization step, no global memory materialization.
Features:
1. NVFP4 GEMM β€” Fused dequant inside Triton matmul
2. NVFP8 GEMM β€” Same approach for FP8
3. INT2 GEMM β€” 2-bit quantization for cold MoE experts
4. FE-XC GEMM β€” Codebook 2-bit (2x8) with CodeGEMM psumbook (near-FP16 quality)
5. FE-XVQ GEMM β€” Hessian-weighted codebook 2-bit (VPTQ-inspired, second-order optimal)
6. Packed MoE β€” Contiguous [128, K//2, N] expert buffers, GPU expert IDs
7. Fused SwiGLU+Down β€” Single-kernel gate+up+silu+mul+down
8. Auto-dispatch β€” Automatically choose FP4/FP8/INT2/FE-XC/FE-XVQ based on expert temperature
9. Unified API:
- goliath_quantize(tensor, bits=4 or 8)
- goliath_gemm(activations, quantized_weights)
Design:
- Loads packed FP4/FP8 data directly from global memory
- Dequantizes in registers (not global memory) β€” zero extra traffic
- Uses Triton block pointers for efficient memory access
- Supports both BF16 and FP16 accumulation
- Target: 5-10x over the 10.4 TFLOPS baseline
Usage:
from goliath_kernel import goliath_quantize, goliath_gemm
# FP4 quantization (maximum compression)
w_q4 = goliath_quantize(weights, bits=4)
out = goliath_gemm(activations, w_q4)
# FP8 quantization (higher accuracy)
w_q8 = goliath_quantize(weights, bits=8)
out = goliath_gemm(activations, w_q8)
# Auto mode (let Goliath decide)
w_q = goliath_quantize(weights, bits='auto')
out = goliath_gemm(activations, w_q)

FE-XVQ (FireEcho XVector Quantization) β€” Hessian-weighted codebook 2-bit.
VPTQ-inspired: uses second-order information (Hessian diagonal from
calibration data) to weight the k-means objective. Errors in important
dimensions (high Hessian) are penalized more, producing better codebooks
than FE-XC's plain MSE k-means.
Same storage format as FE-XC β€” reuses the same inference kernel (psumbook
CodeGEMM). Only the codebook LEARNING differs.
For a linear layer y = Wx, the Hessian H = X^T X (input covariance).
Quantization error Ξ΄w contributes Ξ΄w^T H Ξ΄w to output loss.
FE-XVQ minimizes this weighted error instead of plain ||Ξ΄w||^2.
Layout (identical to FE-XC):
codes: [K, N//8, 2] uint8 β€” 2 codebook indices per 8-weight group
codebooks: [2, 256, 8] float16 β€” 2 codebooks, 256 centroids, 8 elements
scales: [K] float16 β€” per-output-channel scale

"""Quantize weights to FE-XVQ format with Hessian-weighted codebooks.
When hessian_diag is provided, uses importance-weighted k-means:
distance = sum(h_i * (w_i - c_i)^2) instead of plain MSE.
This prioritizes accuracy on dimensions that matter most for output.
The Hessian diagonal is averaged within each group of 8 to produce
per-element importance weights [8]. Both data and centroids are
pre-scaled by sqrt(h_avg), converting Mahalanobis distance to
Euclidean β€” enabling efficient torch.cdist.
Falls back to plain k-means (FE-XC equivalent) when hessian_diag=None.
Args:
weights: Input [K, N] tensor (K=out_features, N=in_features)
