Large language models (LLMs) can assist GPU kernel generation, but their practical effectiveness depends on whether generated code can be reliably constrained, validated, profiled, and selected. This paper presents a harness-centered system for LLM-driven GPU kernel optimization in the MLSys 2026 FlashInfer AI Kernel Generation Contest on NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs.
While large language models have been dominating the research landscape recently, small language models remain highly relevant across various domains; yet, they receive far less attention. In this study, we investigate how smaller language models perform during the generation stage within a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system.

The report introduces Nemotron-SEA-LION-v4.8, a family of Southeast Asian language models built on NVIDIA Nemotron 3, featuring 30B-A3B and 120B-A12B variants with both base and post‑trained checkpoints. The models are fine‑tuned on Southeast Asian, reasoning, code, and multilingual parallel datasets, then further refined with supervised fine‑tuning and online on‑policy distillation. On the SEA‑HELM benchmark, the 30B-A3B model raises the overall SEA score from 46.06 to 51.57, while the 120B-A12B model jumps from 49.30 to 63.44, with the largest improvements seen in instruction following, natural language reasoning, and understanding across seven Southeast Asian languages.
