In an interview, Fuyao Glass Chairman Cao Dewang revealed his ambitious vision for Fuyao University of Technology, aiming to create a globally recognized institution akin to Stanford. He emphasized the project’s importance in building future confidence and expressed immense pressure for its success. Despite skepticism, the university, led by President Wang Shuguo, plans to cultivate doctoral graduates by age 25 and offers personalized learning plans. Cao views the university as a crucial mission to nurture accomplished individuals.

Stanford researchers have unexpectedly created AI-generated CUDA kernels that surpass human-optimized versions. The AI-powered kernels demonstrated significant performance gains across various deep learning operations, outperforming PyTorch in several benchmarks, including matrix multiplication and 2D convolutions. This breakthrough, achieved through a novel method involving language reasoning, could redefine kernel optimization and potentially impact deep learning development.
