EXECUTORCH FUSES TORCHAO 4-BIT EMBEDDINGS; CUDA TUNING LANDS

ExecuTorch's quantized embedding pipeline now fuses torchao's int4 weights directly, bypassing the dequantize-embedding subgraph that was killing inference performance.

The executorch team shipped a critical fusion optimization [1] that matches torchao's weight-only int4 quantized embeddings to the native fused op, letting TISO and other torchao models skip the slow dequantize_affine intermediate step. This lands alongside three MLX architecture overhauls: isolating MLX's CMake build to stop namespace collisions [2], refactoring SamplingHead to be directly exportable without per-model wrappers [3], and optimizing Qwen's forward pass to return last-token logits instead of full sequences [4]. Over in core PyTorch, CUDA's TunableOp finally gains cublasLt support [5], the big missing piece that unlocks kernel autotuning for GEMM operations and addresses the perf regressions from last month. The team also fixed a Blackwell test false-positive [6] and bumped torch_tpu to unblock the inductor-pallas-tpu build [7]. On CI infrastructure, the autorevert system now enforces permission checks on the disable killswitch [8], closing a production exploit where any user could tank CI by opening a labeled issue. Triton nightly integration work continues across helion with pyrefly type strictness fixes [9].
