Research direction

Start by reading NVIDIA/Fuser issue 3629 and locating Thunder's RMSNorm decomposition and nvFuser's corresponding fusion definition. Compare the two approaches and verify that the faster definition can be represented in Thunder; done means the RMSNorm path uses the improved definition and its behavior is validated.
