Stack 4/5, based on #879; cached-prediction optimization follows in #1107. Measurements below exclude #1107.

Blackwell: Kumo-small model(context, labels, queries) reaches 1.64× at 512K context rows. Speedup grows from 1.53× at 128K to 1.60× at 256K and 1.64× at 512K, with 1,024 query rows. Cached prediction remains slower; its peak memory falls from 18,621 to 7,589 MiB at 512K. Timings use initialized weights.

Enable the same scoped FP8 attention for KumoTabular small/medium/large, KumoRelational, and TabFM. This PR enables eligible ICL layers and adds model coverage. Kernels/eligibility are in #883; the context manager is in #879. The method is adapted from Attention Quantization for Tabular Foundation Models (Kübler et al., 2026), which evaluated TabPFN-v3 and TabICLv2.

import sdm

model = sdm.models.KumoTabular(task="regression", size="small", device="cuda")
with sdm.optimize(attention="fp8"):
    model.fit(context, labels)
    predictions = model.predict(queries)

The scope also supports single model calls and the existing TabFM/KumoRelational APIs. Using an FP8 cache outside the scope raises an error. Intermediate ICL attention is quantized; weights and final attention retain normal precision.

KumoTabular-small on Blackwell:

Context	One model call, ms (speedup)	Cached predict, ms (speedup)	Predict peak MiB
16,384	42.69 → 37.33 (1.14×)	15.06 → 16.22 (0.93×)	753 → 400
65,536	351.13 → 248.53 (1.41×)	14.97 → 19.64 (0.76×)	2483 → 1081
131,072	1228.98 → 805.83 (1.53×)	21.06 → 30.66 (0.69×)	4787 → 2011
262,144	4643.86 → 2910.98 (1.60×)	33.41 → 52.74 (0.63×)	9399 → 3870
524,288	17952.38 → 10943.03 (1.64×)	58.07 → 98.02 (0.59×)	18621 → 7589

One model call is model(context, labels, queries), including context processing. Cached prediction is only model.predict(queries) after fit, which is excluded from timing. Times/memory show ordinary → FP8; speedup = ordinary time / FP8 time, so below 1× means slower. Memory is peak allocated during prediction with one cache resident.

RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, FP16 inference, 1,024 queries, six numerical features, one estimator; PyTorch 2.14/Triton 3.8. Matched weights/inputs, alternating synchronized medians: three forward warmups + seven samples; ten prediction warmups + thirty samples. 16K–128K model measurements used 5e72473de with the launch settings now committed in #883. Larger contexts use the actual pushed stack dba0d5b3b, without overrides; their forward timing uses three warmups and three samples per mode.

Cached prediction is slower on Blackwell, despite lower memory. Kumo-small uses initialized weights, so this table establishes speed/memory behavior, not predictive quality. Other sizes, KumoRelational, and TabFM have functional GPU coverage; their model speed and pretrained quality are not established here. TabICLv2 quality and the paper comparison are in #879.

L4's previous Kumo-small model-call speedups were 1.16×/1.27×/1.34× at 16K/64K/128K; cached prediction was 0.92×/1.14×/1.13×.

53-59: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Seed the random inputs and the parameter re-initialization.

torch.randn and torch.nn.init.normal_ draw from the global RNG here. The test then asserts relative_rms < 0.08 and assert_close(atol=0.01, rtol=0.03) on FP8 output. Those margins are tight enough that draw-to-draw variation can flip the result, which makes the CUDA job flaky and hard to bisect. test_fp8_model_fit_predict and test_fp8_relational_fit_predict have the same exposure.

Use an explicit generator on the same device for every draw.

As per path instructions for test/**/*.py: "randomness is controlled via fixed seeds or generators".
