 .. note::
    We don't have granularity specific tensor subclasses, i.e. no Float8RowwiseTensor or Float8BlockwiseTensor, all granularities are implemented in the same Tensor, we typically use a general `block_size` attribute to distinguish between different granularities, and each Tensor is allowed to support only a subset of all possible granularity options.
