                    For CHANNEL_WISE mode (default):
                        - Let L == trans_lhs ? trans(mat(lhs)) : mat(lhs)

                        - L.nc() == R.nr()

                    For PLANE_WISE mode:
                        - lhs.num_samples() == rhs.num_samples() && lhs.k() == rhs.k()
                        - If !trans_lhs && !trans_rhs:
                            lhs.nc() == rhs.nr()
                            dest.nr() == lhs.nr() && dest.nc() == rhs.nc()

                            dest.nr() == lhs.nc() && dest.nc() == rhs.nc()
                        - If !trans_lhs && trans_rhs:
                            lhs.nc() == rhs.nc()
                            dest.nr() == lhs.nr() && dest.nc() == rhs.nr()
                        - If trans_lhs && trans_rhs:

            ensures
                - Performs matrix multiplication based on the specified mode:

                    For CHANNEL_WISE mode:
                        - performs: dest = alpha*L*R + beta*mat(dest)
                            where L, R, and D are as defined above.

                    For PLANE_WISE mode:
                        - Performs matrix multiplication for each corresponding 2D plane (nr x nc)
                            in lhs and rhs across all samples and channels.
                        - The operation is equivalent to performing the following for each sample
                            and channel:
                                dest[s][k] = alpha * (lhs[s][k] * rhs[s][k]) + beta * dest[s][k]
                                where [s][k] represents the 2D plane for sample s and channel k.

                    Note that the PLANE_WISE mode is particularly useful for operations like attention
                    mechanisms in neural networks, where you want to perform matrix multiplications
                    on 2D planes of 4D tensors while preserving the sample and channel dimensions.

                            - Computes a frequency scale factor based on freqs[token_idx]
                            - The scale factor is min(0.15, max(1.0 / freqs[token_idx], 1.0))
                        - For each column c in gradient_input:
                            - Updates grads[token_idx, c] -= gradient_input[s,k,r,c] * learning_rate * freq_scale
                - The updates to grads are performed atomically to handle concurrent updates to the same embedding.
                - The function is thread-safe and processes samples in parallel.
