However, for example, to achieve precise FP32 results from the accumulation of 32 FP8×FP8 multiplications, at least 34-bit precision is required.

Could you tell me why 34-bit precision is required?

It's irrelevant to DeepGEMM.
You can report this in our DeepSeek-V3 repo. (e.g. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/issues/197)
