By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A demonstration showcases the automatic deduction of a FlashAttention kernel using approximately 25 lines of SQL. This process leverages three portable SQL extensions being developed, specifically highlighting the xarray-sql library. The demo effectively expresses vanilla attention through this SQL-based approach. AI

IMPACT This technique could streamline the development and optimization of AI model components.
