Summary

QuixiAI ported ThunderKittens to Metal, enabling kernel support on MPS and MLX for training models on Mac.

QuixiAI/ThunderMittens (fork from @HazyResearch) Porting ThunderKittens (and literally everything else) to Metal. Now works with MPS and MLX. Why? I've a new model I'm cooking (inspired by @tri_dao and @_albertgu's Mamba 3) and wanted to try training on my mac but, no kernels! And @TheEricHartford style, when I fix something, I fix it all the way down.

Metal-Sci: A Scientific Compute Benchmark for Evolutionary LLM Kernel Search on Apple Silicon

Hugging Face Daily Papers

Metal-Sci introduces a 10-task benchmark for optimizing scientific computing kernels on Apple Silicon, paired with an evolutionary search framework driven by large language models. The study evaluates models like Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and GPT 5.5, demonstrating significant speedups while using out-of-distribution testing to catch silent performance regressions.
