A block-scaled logarithmic format with exact integer-index products matches FP8-class perplexity on 7B-9B language models with seven bits and shows parity with FP8 in 3B-token pretraining.
Selected RTL and final routed netlists pass 64 seeded variable-K matrices spanning 1,010 compute cycles and 1,024 checked outputs per datatype

CurveFP: Co-Designing Numerical Representation and Product Arithmetic for Language Models
A block-scaled logarithmic format with exact integer-index products matches FP8-class perplexity on 7B-9B language models with seven bits and shows parity with FP8 in 3B-token pretraining.
