Factors: 0 (moe_topk_softmax), 2 (moe_fused_gemm), 5 (gdn_chunk_fwd)
Fixes: topk_softmax fallback (2304x/token), GDN NaN (frac=0.9998-1.0)

ex_engine/python/ex_loader.py — EX Engine Python loader
Architecture:
CCCL: compute_capability → policy_selector → kernel template instantiation
EX: hardware_id → ctypes.dlopen → factor.kernel() via torch stream
This module loads the compiled .so factors and provides torch-compatible
wrappers that the vllm model code can call directly.
Usage:
from ex_engine.python.ex_loader import EXEngine
engine = EXEngine("/workspace/ex_engine/build")
engine.load_all()
# Replace MoE topk+softmax (was: torch.softmax + torch.topk, 36× per layer)
topk_w, topk_ids = engine.moe_topk_softmax(router_logits, top_k=8)
# Replace GDN prefill (was: _torch_chunk_gated_delta_rule producing NaN)
output, new_state = engine.gdn_chunk_fwd(q, k, v, gate, beta, state)

CCCL parallel: CCCL's dispatch_reduce.cuh has a Dispatch() that selects

Patched paths:
1. Qwen3_5MoeSparseBlock._pure_pytorch_experts()

→ Falls back to PyTorch GEMM for expert computation (factor 2 TBD)
2. GatedDeltaNet.forward() prefill path
