Optimization technique
Channelwise FP8 stores weights in eight-bit floating point and scales activations for each token at runtime.
We measured 2 published packages across 1 GPU target, using the recorded baseline and optimized conditions.
What made these builds shippable is not the FP8 itself but the measured accuracy verdict beside it, taken on the same protocol as the baseline.
We show absolute baseline and optimized values before the shared verdict. We keep each condition attached to its result.

We restate the published throughput pairs. The neutral fills do not declare a winner.
1.2x faster.
1.29x faster.
We do not call a score change an improvement when the gap is smaller than about twice the combined standard errors.
AREX-Turbo measured 0.3821 at baseline and 0.4094 optimized on gsm8k exact_match (N=1319 full set, chat-template, deliberation-aware extraction v2). No measurable change in accuracy. The difference between the baseline and optimized scores is smaller than the combined measurement error, so it is within measurement noise. Standard errors: baseline +/- 0.0134; optimized +/- 0.0135.
Qwythos-9B-Claude-Mythos-5-1M measured 0.8378 at baseline and 0.8324 optimized on gsm8k exact_match strict (N=1319, completion protocol). Measured difference, significance not published. The optimized score measured below the baseline, at 99.35% of it. Neither score published a standard error, so this difference cannot be separated from sampling noise. The difference is not stated as a regression. Standard errors not published.
