(It's usually that or NaNs which trip us up!) I did not find this fix myself an AI review did (quite impressively). However, I explored the possible fixes and asked the AI to verify. The easiest fix is to first convert the raw float 16 value into a float as in: float ef = shortBitsToFloat16(e).floatValue(); Then from then on implement in the same manner as the same method on `FloatVector`. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28002#discussion_r3198036635
