BF16 Precision
A 16-bit floating-point format that matches the dynamic range of FP32, preventing underflow issues.
Brain Floating Point 16 (BF16) uses 8 exponent bits and 7 mantissa bits, matching FP32’s range. This prevents numerical underflow during training and simplifies mixed-precision configurations.
