Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5—the best coding model in the world. It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It's the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains on tests of reasoning and math.
Good list! Simon’s and Pranjal’s matmul blogs were foundational to my understanding of GPU performance

lol, there is quite the explosion of kernel DSLs lately (triton, tilelang, gluon, TLX, cuteDSL, cuTile, …) And honestly as much as I love TLX and want it to succeed, I think the next big kernel programming language might be… natural, human language

A great example of how subtle numerical issues can bite you. Fusing multiply-add into FMA strictly improves precision of that operation (the mul is computed in infinite precision). But it breaks the larger expression if other parts are not computed with the same high precision!

Debugging subtle numerical issues in ML systems - especially in the compiler! - is really freaking hard. Very impressed by the debugging that went into discovering these

I found myself wondering if we might benefit from a resurgence of Halide- (or TVM) -like ideas, where you have some math to optimize, and a library of optimizations through which the machine can search to find the best outcome

What if instead of a paperclip maximizer we built and hoodie-and-bag maximizer, and what if it turns out we’re already living in its world?? 😱

I’ve seen this “FAANG vibe code” post a few times and tbh this workflow sounds… tedious. “Write a design doc, align stakeholders, iterate on design review, etc” How about: have an awesome idea and build it
TIL, RIP Triton, killed by inability to have good Blackwell performance
This is cool work on kernel generation. A challenge I’d like to see solved: given a brand new architecture doc, generate an updated kernel. (Possibly leveraging the kernels for the old platform, if it helps)

Also there’s a pytorch/ directory. It does not contain pytorch

The most important skill for a researcher is not technical ability. It's taste. The ability to identify interesting and tractable problems, and recognize important ideas when they show up. This can't be taught directly. It's cultivated through curiosity and broad reading.
I like python but weird stuff happens with imports. We had a bug with Triton-related imports in FB’s stack that no one could explain or repro outside of prod. We “fixed” it by generally cleaning up some imports but I would have much preferred a definitive explanation
