"""Fast Triton kernel for strict-±1 BitLinear: fused sign(x) @ sign(w).T + STE backward. `FastBitLinear(in_f, out_f)` drops straight into our model in place of BitLinear. Uses a Triton forward kernel that signs both operands inside the MMA loop (no intermediate ±1 tensor materialization). Backward is straight-through: grads flow as if sign were identity. On an RTX 5090 for typical strict-±1 shapes (M=B·T=16384, K=D=1024, N=D=1024), this is ~3× faster than `F.linear(sign(x), sign(w))` in fp32.
