Claude 29ecc2e602 feat: moe_expert_gemm.cpp — C++ loop over experts via ixformer_linear (replaces Python for-loop)
Key difference from the reverted batched approach:
- Does NOT use torch::mm in a C++ loop (that was the reverted commit)
- Uses ixformer_torch_ext::ixformer_linear — the base image's optimized GEMM
- Same kernel the competitor (sub 168) uses via corex_moe.py
- Eliminates Python interpreter + dispatcher overhead per expert
- Links against _ixformer_torch.cpython-310.so (already in base image)

Decode: 1 Python call → 8 C++ ixformer_linear (vs 8 Python F.linear)
Prefill: 1 Python call → 64 C++ ixformer_linear (vs 64 Python F.linear)

// moe_expert_gemm.cpp — MoE expert GEMM dispatch
//
// Replaces the Python for-loop over experts with a C++ loop calling
// ixformer_linear (via base image's _ixformer_torch.so).
//
// Why this works:
// 1. Eliminates Python interpreter overhead per expert (~0.5ms × 64 experts)
// 2. Eliminates PyTorch dispatcher overhead per F.linear call
// 3. Uses the same ixformer GEMM kernel that the base image uses
// 4. No new dependencies — links against the same .so as ix_full_bridge
//
// For decode (single token, top_k=8 experts):
// Python: 8 × F.linear → 8 × Python dispatch → 8 × CUDA kernel
// This: 1 × Python call → 8 × C++ ixformer_linear → 8 × CUDA kernel
// Savings: ~4ms → ~0.5ms (eliminate 7 Python round-trips)
//
// For prefill (many tokens, up to 64 experts):
// Python: for eid in 64: F.linear(tokens[eid], w[eid])
// This: 1 × Python call → C++ loop: 64 × ixformer_linear
// Savings: ~32ms → ~4ms
//
// Future: replace C++ loop with cublasGemmBatchedEx for true batched GEMM
