If you’re excited about optimizing code that runs equally well on a single or thousands of GPUs and if you have the ability to submit a single substantial PR to a major OSS library, we want you on the PyTorch team - especially if you’re early in your career.

Write a fast kernel and run it on Discord. See how you compare against the best! If you're familiar with Leetcode, Kaggle or Codeforces then this should feel right at home

Eat your heart out, Gutenberg @AsimovPress book #2, encoded in DNA, available now for pre-order. One of the coolest projects I've ever seen unfold. Huge thanks to @catalogtechinc, @imagene_biotech, and @plasmidsaurus for making this possible, and @jasonjoyride for the epic vid

Just gave a talk on "Grounding LLMs in Code Execution" at the NeurIPS Hacker-Cup AI Competition, here are the slides docs.google.com/presentation/d…










We are not the only ones thinking about this direction. The vision was nicely outlined by @karpathy in his talk (see picture below, credit to karpathy and @accel), and we found many others also eager to attempt this. Project 🍿: gpu-mode.github.io/popcorn/ in the GPU Mode server is a community effort towards this goal of LLMs generating performant GPU kernels. We hope KernelBench could be a valuable contribution for the community, to help understand current capabilities and serve as a playground to evaluate various techniques. If you are interested, we would love to hear your thoughts and welcome you to join the mission! Link to the relevant part of Karpathy’s talk: youtu.be/aR6CzM0x-g0?fe…
