When running models with FastLayerNorm (like Llama) on Blackwell GPUs (eg. RTX 5060 Ti), the following error occurs:
CUDA Error: no kernel image is available for execution on the device /usr/src/flash-attention/csrc/layer_norm/ln_fwd_kernels.cuh 236 rank=0This happens because the FastLayerNorm CUDA kernel is not compiled for the Blackwell compute capability (12.0 for RTX 5xxx), but the code still attempts to use it.
