Current AI agents fail to reliably invent transferable ML methods on a controlled 140-task benchmark, and more test-time compute or context does not remove the scientific-judgment bottleneck.
CUDAHercules benchmark demonstrates that leading LLMs generate functional CUDA code but fail to recover expert-level optimization strategies needed for peak performance on Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell GPUs.
Hawk raises NPU kernel generation accuracy from 49.4% to 80% and yields up to 2.2× speedups by retrieving and distilling structured hardware-aware knowledge without any model training.
LLMs can forecast GPU kernel performance accurately enough to serve as selective surrogates, allowing kernel searches to consider more candidates and recover faster kernels under fixed GPU evaluation budgets.
CUDABEAVER benchmark and pass@k(M,C,A) metric show LLM CUDA debugging success drops by up to 40 percentage points under strict performance requirements.
Pioneer Agent automates the full lifecycle of adapting and continually improving small language models via diagnosis-driven data synthesis and regression-constrained retraining, delivering gains of 1.6-83.8 points on benchmarks and large lifts in production-style tasks.
