OPEN: Any random number generation may be used. The seed is not expected to be logged.

=== Numerical formats
CLOSED: The numerical formats fp64, fp32, tf32, fp16, fp8, nvfp4, mxfp4, bfloat16, Graphcore FLOAT 16.16, int8, uint8, int4, and uint4 are pre-approved for use. Additional formats require explicit approval. Any numerically safe techniques needed to compensate for different precision may be used, provided they leave the real-valued mathematical function of the model, i.e. the function the model would compute at infinite precision, unchanged.
