Description
Loading the CPU
gemm_4bit_forwardkernel fromkernels-communityfails with newerkernels(>= 0.11.1), which now require an explicit kernel APIversion(or a Hubrevision) to be passed toget_kernel:Without it,
get_kernel("kernels-community/quantization-bitsandbytes")raises and theCPU 4-bit fused path silently falls back to the slower native implementation.
Fix
Pass the stable kernel API
version=1(anint, matching the repo'sv1buildbranch) to
get_kernel:Notes
versionmust be an integer (1), not a string; it resolves to thev1buildbranch published for this kernel.
try/except, so environments withoutkernelsinstalled continue to fall back to the native CPU kernel.
