Engineers say GPT-5.6 can write most CUDA code if profiling stays in the loop

The author says the earlier take was a “cope tweet,” but now believes GPT-5.6 Sol High / Opus 5 can handle most of the CUDA-related work mentioned in the replies—if you keep a tight profiling feedback loop and don’t over-steer it.

The quoted thread argues that LLMs will soon write better CUDA than humans. The reply pushes back with a practical workflow view: focus review on sensitive operations, build tests for correctness, and selectively review only the code that matters. Over time, the engineer adapts to the agent by encoding architecture and style constraints in docs, rather than expecting the agent to learn the human’s habits.
