Summary: We found the rounding mode when selecting the block scales in MX formats is critical to numeric accuracies. Josh has added rounding mode options in the fp32 to mx4 conversion kernels in D59562029. Here is to add the options to mx_github library which supports more mx formats. To use different options from the default 'floor' method in the cuda kernel, need to specify custom_cuda=False in the mx specs.
