"""SOTA reference for TopK: torch.topk itself. torch.topk dispatches to a CUB-backed kernel that uses radix-select for moderate k and a tuned bitonic sort for small n. It is the bar the agent's hand-rolled bitonic kernel must beat. There is no obvious vendor library that does better on the (batch, n, k) shape mix we evaluate — Faiss BlockSelect is specialized for k>=32 with much larger n, and CUB's DeviceSegmentedRadixSort sorts the full row (overkill for top-k). This file is INTENTIONALLY allowed to call torch.topk because it is the SOTA oracle, not the agent's submission. The agent's solution.py is forbidden from using torch.topk (see problem.yaml.forbidden).
