Running powerful AI on your smartphone isn’t just a hardware problem — it’s a model architecture problem. Most state-of-the-art vision encoders are enormous, and when you trim them down to fit on an edge device, they lose the capabilities that made them useful in the first place. Worse, specialized models tend to excel at one

Writing fast GPU code is one of the most grueling specializations in machine learning engineering. Researchers from RightNow AI want to automate it entirely. The RightNow AI research team has released AutoKernel, an open-source framework that applies an autonomous LLM agent loop to GPU kernel optimization for arbitrary PyTorch models. The approach is straightforward: give
