1. Error `fp8 blockscale gemm only support Hopper` on Blackwell.

The default MoE backend "CUTLASS" does not support FP8 weights. Please choose the same MoE backend as your end-to-end config. A typical solution is to add the `--moe-backend DEEPGEMM` (or `TRTLLM`, `CUTEDSL`) and `--moe-backend-for-prefill DEEPGEMM` options.

Passing `--moe-backend AUTO` alone also works: prefill then defaults to `AUTO` too.

This only propagates the AUTO case. --moe-backend DEEPGEMM (or WIDEEP) alone still leaves prefill on CUTLASS, which is the exact FP8-on-Blackwell failure the README limitation describes — so the documented workaround still requires passing both flags. Since --moe-backend-for-prefill already restricts choices, defaulting to args.moe_backend when it's one of the supported prefill backends, and CUTLASS otherwise, would cover all of them:

PREFILL_BACKENDS = {"AUTO", "CUTLASS", "DEEPGEMM", "WIDEEP"}
args.moe_backend_for_prefill = (
    args.moe_backend if args.moe_backend in PREFILL_BACKENDS else "CUTLASS")

If mirroring more broadly is deliberately out of scope, say so in the comment.

Do not overwrite an explicitly selected prefill backend.

Line 140 always replaces args.moe_backend_for_prefill after parsing. An explicit DEEPGEMM, WIDEEP, or other supported value is ignored. Apply the derived default only when args.moe_backend_for_prefill is None, and keep the parser default as None.

Proposed fix 
-    args.moe_backend_for_prefill = "AUTO" if args.moe_backend == "AUTO" else "CUTLASS"
+    if args.moe_backend_for_prefill is None:
+        args.moe_backend_for_prefill = (
+            "AUTO" if args.moe_backend == "AUTO" else "CUTLASS"
+        )

In `@examples/layer_wise_benchmarks/run.py` at line 140, Update the backend
assignment near args.moe_backend_for_prefill so the derived AUTO/CUTLASS value
is applied only when args.moe_backend_for_prefill is None; preserve any
explicitly selected backend such as DEEPGEMM or WIDEEP, and keep the parser
default as None.
