PROTECTED INVENTIONS (original inventions of SNAPKITTYWEST):

  1. SNAPKITTY TRANSFORMER ARCHITECTURE
     8B parameter transformer model with novel attention mechanisms,
     training procedures, and inference optimizations.

  2. FLASHATTENTION FUSED GEMM + ONLINE SOFTMAX KERNEL
     Production-ready CUDA kernel for NVIDIA Ampere (sm_80+) with:
     - cp.async global-to-shared memory copies
     - mma.sync.aligned.m16n8k16 Tensor Core operations
     - Online softmax with running max/sum accumulators
     - Double-buffered K/V tile processing
     - Warp-level reductions via __shfl_down_sync

  3. SOVEREIGN TRAINING DATA PIPELINE
     Proprietary data curation, filtering, and augmentation methods
     for transformer pre-training.

  4. INFERENCE OPTIMIZATION SUITE
     Quantization, pruning, and distillation techniques specific to
     the SnapKitty Transformer architecture.
