AWhat changed
Explored block data representations and fine-scale shared exponents, then evaluated an open microscaling-format family with compact elements and shared scaling across training/inference benchmarks.
Scientific scope
Explored block data representations and fine-scale shared exponents, then evaluated an open microscaling-format family with compact elements and shared scaling across training/inference benchmarks. Two2023papers have22/32source-name positions; name variants are retained source-specifically, not identity-resolved. Early multi-level MX designs and later concrete32-element E8M0-scale formats are not silently identical. Quantization/transposition do not commute; vector operations, outputs and master updates remain wider precision. Reported results emulate formats, with distinct direct-cast/PTQ/fine-tuned/training settings; a sample conversion is not the only standards-compliant recipe.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.

Contributors
- Source-listed authors and technical contributors · SCIENCE: Source-listed authors or explicitly credited technical contributors for the cited versions. Family entries retain source-specific attribution; a combined list is not one original-paper byline or equal individual work. Names alone do not establish resolved identities.
