Direct evidence

A block applies input RMSNorm, attention and a residual addition, then post-attention RMSNorm, the feed-forward network and a second residual addition; the first first_k_dense_replace blocks use the dense MLP, the rest MoE.

Direct evidence

RMSNorm owns one gain per feature; it normalizes in float32, casts back to the input precision and multiplies by the gain.
