Researchers have developed Kernel Forge, an open-source agentic harness designed to automatically generate and optimize CUDA kernels for LLM, vision, and diffusion models. This tool accepts unmodified PyTorch models and utilizes Monte Carlo Tree Search to explore optimization paths, offering a graphical interface for monitoring and debugging. Kernel Forge has demonstrated significant performance improvements, outperforming PyTorch's eager mode on various kernels across several models, including ResNet-50, Stable Diffusion 3.5 Medium, Gemma 4-E2B, and Qwen 3.5-35B-A3B.
