Nice work and notable speedup, thanks for adding :) Have you measured on non-AVX3_DL x86 to see if your approach is faster than the generic? If so, we could replace our generic fallback on all platforms, rather than just NEON. SVE is also increasingly available/chosen.

Proposed fast path for weight decode on NEON that uses table look up and shift. About the same ops but looks like we can sneak in a few cheaper ones, roughly 1.1x faster on SFP matmuls.
