FP8 is ~100 tflops faster when the kernel name has...
And what’s the downside of using that kernel name? It can’t just be that it’s faster and nothing else. Unless they included lots of sleep(x) calls.

There might be optimizations that are only safe for the code that this was an intender for.

Seems like a bad idea to rely on a name for deciding this then, unless it's documented somewhere that using names containing certain substrings may trigger unsafe optimizations...
