ForgeKernel
A self-evolving GPU-kernel agent from OpenBMB, with generated CuTe/CUDA kernels released in-tree and a paper reporting wins against expert libraries and other kernel agents.
The agent profiles a reference kernel, writes an architecture-first milestone curriculum, and promotes accepted kernels to the next reference. The README says paper runs used Claude Fable 5.1 as the arch agent and Claude Opus 5 as the coding agent. A Claude Code skill can launch runs. Generated kernels live under kernels/.
Human involvement
Person directed, agent wrote the code. Humans designed the self-evolution loop and released a launch skill. The generated kernels in kernels/ are the agent-produced artifacts catalogued here.
Evidence
- Paper
- Official repository
the paper's runs used Claude Fable 5.1 as the arch agent and Claude Opus 5 as the coding agent.
Notes
ForgeKernel is both a harness and a collection of generated kernels. Claude Code is recorded because the project officially supports it as a launch front-end and because the paper runs used Claude models; the core loop is the project's own harness.
