MaxKernel: Agentic Kernel Generation for TPUs

MaxKernel is a multi‑agent system designed to generate high‑performance custom kernels for TPUs. It offers three paradigms: a Human‑in‑the‑Loop agent for collaborative design, an Autonomous agent that runs a fully automated optimization loop, and a Graph‑Based Autonomous Search for global exploration. All paradigms share specialized sub‑agents for planning, implementation, debugging, testing, and profiling, and the system consistently matches expert hand‑tuned baselines on the JaxBench suite and real‑world workloads.

KernelGenBench: Can LLMs and Agents Write Efficient Kernels Across Operator Sources and Hardware Platforms?

KernelGenBench is a unified benchmark that evaluates large language models and agentic systems for generating efficient Triton kernels across diverse operator sources and hardware platforms. It covers 210 operators from PyTorch ATen, vLLM, and cuBLAS, and tests a 110‑operator subset on six different chips, consuming over 15 billion tokens in evaluation. The study finds that no single method dominates across all sources and platforms, with significant variations in correctness and performance depending on the operator source and hardware, and that agentic approaches require millions of tokens per successful operator.
