Decode carried three leftover cudaDeviceSynchronize (prefill one) from
NaN debugging — the Qwen3 path has none and the logits D2H in sample()
already orders against the null stream.
add_bias for rows>1 round-tripped the bias through the CPU (D2H + host
tile loop + H2D) on every call — 96 times per prefill across q/k/v/o.
Replace with a bias_add_2d broadcast kernel.
dash5, FP8 TP=2, warm-server: TTFT 35/49/94 -> 29/42/79 ms
(short/medium/long), TPOT 7.19-7.32 -> 6.99-7.21 ms. Greedy tokens
unchanged; GSM8K-50 94%.
