Working on inference at Hugging Face 🤗. Open source ML 🚀.
Also a huge shout-out to @nixos-org.bsky.social! All the kernels in huggingface.co/kernels-comm... are built using kernel-builder, which uses Nix under the hood to build ABI3 kernels for all the supported Torch configurations (various CUDA/ROCm versions, Metal):

David Holz made an introduction video showing how to make your own kernels with kernel-builder:

The kernel ecosystem is completely open: you can make your own kernels with kernel-builder, upload them to the hub, and register a mapping using the kernels package and they get used by transformers.

Jikes, good to hear you are feeling better.

I had them two years ago while we were on vacation. Best advise from a Danish doctor: take a lot of painkillers and drink enough beer 😁 (or water).
