Databricks just took 2nd place in Meta's Muse Spark Open Kernel Challenge, out of 300K+ submissions!
Our kernels achieved an average 2.5X speedup over SGLang kernels.
We built a Kernel Factory where AI agents autonomously hill-climb their way to better kernels. We found Opus 5.5 to be the strongest model for GPU kernel optimization.
These kernels go straight from our Kernel Factory into production, powering Databricks Unity Gateway and AI inference for our customers.
Two weeks ago, I ran into Jensen at NVIDIA headquarters while walking to get some water. He saw me too, and we exchanged a quick nod to say hello. I still can’t believe that might have been the last time I’d see Jensen at NVIDIA. And I truly believe it won’t be!
If you work at NVIDIA, you can’t help but be impressed by Jensen’s vision for AI. So many of the company’s most important projects are driven forward under his leadership, in the most promising direction. Even from his email replies, you can tell how deeply technical he is. Sometimes it feels like you’re talking to one of our technical directors, rather than the CEO himself.
Jensen has given everything to NVIDIA. I’ve heard that whenever there’s a major keynote coming up, like the GTC DC that was supposed to happen soon, Jensen would spend days and nights at the office preparing his talk and working on the slides himself. I believe he would never do anything that hurts the company.
I’ve also heard that during NVIDIA’s toughest times, Jensen insisted on not laying people off. His reason was simple: We’re a family.
Jensen never gave up on this family, and I believe this family will never give up on him.
@ParadisLabs “2. Jensen having TWO undisclosed relationships with subordinates goes against Nvidia's Code of Conduct.”
No evidence whatsoever beyond salacious hit pieces and bitter ex-employees.
we're hiring extremely aggressively! please forward us impressive things you've done and impressive people you know
we're meeting with 100 people over the next week to share what we're working on and find people to build with
@leoyerrrr Nvidians should do more to counter the utter garbage and hit pieces coming from shit talking media outlets. These opportunist snakes don’t know the real Jensen.
@creillystocks Nvidia’s greatest moat is its PEOPLE and culture. A company that lost its soul will inevitably struggle to execute in the long term without a visionary technologist at its helm, and its moat will diminish.
@creillystocks You should learn about scrappy SV culture rather. If you want to just keep the lights on sure, someone like her could work. But maintaining the current 90% market cap doesn’t just come from keeping the lights on, but aggressively staying mission-pilled.
@khawatmiTradez@wallstengine Our society is fundamental jealous of successful people - will find any instance to bring good people down to their knees.
