Description
Hi All,
I would like to request to know if there are plans for implementing binary gemm. Binary gemm is used in machine learning applications. I bring this to your notice as I see development happening for bfloat16 gemm. Binary gemm does not require special data types and can run on existing hardware unlike bfloat16 which relies on casting to float32 if it does not have hardware support.
Thank you.

Research direction
No files, tests, entry points, API shape, or acceptance criteria are named. Start by locating the existing GEMM and bfloat16 GEMM implementations, then clarify the binary representation, supported operations, and expected hardware behavior. Done requires an agreed scope and validation criteria before implementation can begin.
