In `@docs/source/announcements/scale-learning.rst`:
- Around line 140-141: Replace the standalone reStructuredText comment marker
before the Qwen3-8B section and remove the comment-inducing indentation from its
content so Sphinx renders the Qwen3-8B headings, tables, and notes as a real
subsection.
- Around line 300-307: Convert the commented-out Limitations heading and TODO
text into a rendered documentation section, preserving the stated scope that
only NVFP4 per-block weight scales are learned and activation, KV-cache,
unsupported model families, and incompatible quantizer configurations are
excluded. Place it before the usage guidance.
- Around line 24-25: In the full QAD scale learning paragraph, correct the
grammatical phrase “This is can serve” to “This can serve” while leaving the
surrounding wording unchanged.
- Around line 149-152: Complete the benchmark provenance in the Qwen3-8B results
block by documenting the quantization format, training data, step count, whether
results are single runs or averages, and the applicable run-to-run variation or
noise context. Update the Nemotron section to state its run aggregation and
variation interpretation as well, replacing the existing TODO without changing
unrelated announcement content.

In `@docs/source/announcements/scale-learning.rst`:
- Around line 211-213: The Nemotron section reuses table numbers already
assigned to the Qwen3-8B section. Renumber both Nemotron references—the
introductory “Table 1” and its caption—to the next document-wide table number,
keeping their references consistent.
- Around line 183-190: Update the table’s `Dynamic scale (Default)` and `Frozen
scales` entries to accurately describe their training configuration: label them
as training weights only, or revise the accompanying `all` definition so it no
longer claims both weights and scales are trained. Keep the documented methods
and remaining table values unchanged.

Correct the subject-verb agreement in the recommendation.
Dual scales and tied scales are plural. Use outperform and improve. Make the subject of can cause explicit.
Proposed wording
- Dual scales sometimes outperforms tied scales, but for
- other models can cause distribution shift where tied scales improves accuracy:
+ Dual scales sometimes outperform tied scales, but they can cause distribution
+ shift on other models, where tied scales improve accuracy:📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
