If you have ever wanted to actually build an LLM inference runtime yourself — pack your own weights, own every barrier, capture your own CUDA graphs — this is what that journey looks like on an H100. A step-by-step tour of a small runtime called annotated-llm-runtime, and the three bugs that produced most of the annotations.
