Achieving Extreme Efficiency through Specialized GPU Kernel Generation
Automated GPU kernel generation produced Qwen 3.5 122B kernels that are 1.8–5.2× faster than the top implementations available in vLLM. Achieving these efficiency gains requires pairing unconstrained agent exploration with a strict outer verification system to catch measurement bugs and validate real-world speedups.
Five ways marketers can use Genie One
Genie One enables marketing teams to translate governed data into real-time insights and uncover cross-channel performance trends without relying on manual reporting. By independently exploring customer and pipeline data, teams can accelerate strategy speed-to-market and maximize campaign ROI.
Governance beyond security: knowledge, context & ontology on the lakehouse
Existing governance artifacts like classification tags, data contracts, and lineage provide the semantic foundation needed to run catalog-centered AI agent lifecycles directly within Unity Catalog. Anchoring this business context in catalog metadata keeps production PHI within governed boundaries while allowing cheaper models to deliver trusted results.
