PKU supercomputing captain says AI will write GPU kernels better than him within a year

teortaxesTex highlights a top GPU kernel engineer — former captain of Peking University's supercomputing team, which took #1 and #2 at major competitions under him and is arguably the best university team in the world. His own assessment: AI will write kernels better than him in under a year, and the poster adds it likely already does if you ignore upfront compute costs. A notable first-hand timeline judgment from a world-class HPC expert.
