What do you mean? Having ROCm fused MoE and MLA kernels as a counterpart to kernels for CUDA is very useful. AMD needs to provide this if they want to keep AMD accelerators competitive with new models.

should the matrix-multiplication at the core of this not be in a core library? Why are generic layers intermixed with LLM-specific kernels when the generic layers are duplicating functionality in torch?

Upstreaming that might actually help researchers doing new stuff vs. the narrow demographic of people speeding LLMs on MI300X's.
