What Happened

We Got Claude to Build CUDA Kernels and teach open models!

Our Take

Using a massive proprietary model for low-level CUDA work is a feature demo, not a scalable solution. You are leveraging expensive inference for tasks where fine-tuned, smaller models deliver better latency and cost. This is vendor lock-in disguised as advanced capability. The real engineering win is in optimizing the pipeline, not the model choice.

What To Do

Benchmark the total cost of ownership for custom kernel generation versus off-the-shelf compiler optimization libraries.
