Hey @0xdevalias,
Thanks a lot for opening the issue! Just to better understand, what benefits does https://github.com/NVIDIA/TransformerEngine give besides 8-bit quantizition that we don't currently have with xformers: https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers or other optimization libraries? :-)
