    NVIDIA engineers report AI-assisted CUDA optimization speeding up rapidly

    AINVIDIA engineers at the PyTorch Conference say CUDA software optimization has sped up sharply with frontier AI models. The post gives a 5x gain from October 2025 to August 2026 with expert human optimization, a 2x gain in one month from September to October 2026 with AI assistance, and a 1.5x gain in October 2026 with AI orchestration and MegaKernels.
