New ML architectures and new accelerators often wait years for well-tuned implementations; FlashAttention is a well-known example. The authors ask whether language models can take over this work. 2. **[Kevin: Multi-Turn RL for Generating CUDA Kernels](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/baronio-2025-kevin-multi-turn-rl-generating/)** *(2025 · 69 citations)* The paper asks whether reinforcement learning can teach an LLM to write fast, correct CUDA kernels, given that kernel writing is iterative: engineers revise code after seeing compile errors, test results and timings. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Azalia Mirhoseini](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/azalia-mirhoseini/) - [Christopher Ré](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/christopher-re/) - [Silas Alberti](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/silas-alberti/) - [Simran Arora](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/simran-arora/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 244 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/simon-guo/cited-by/).
