Hugging Face has unveiled major updates to the 🤗 Kernels project, which was first described in the previous post 'From Zero to GPU.' The project aims to standardize the packaging, distribution, and usage of custom kernels, which could simplify their use and enhance security.
The goal of the project is to create a fail-safe and secure system that is maximally compatible with the Hub. This could streamline the development and usage process of kernels for the community, while also improving their accessibility and reliability.
