AMD's initial AVX10_V2_AUX ISA support was merged into LLVM 24 Git on Monday, spanning 15,000 lines of new code across 20 patches and exposed in the Clang compiler via the new -mavx10v2aux flag. AVX10…
A developer known as zigster64 published atari.zig, a repository that enables an LLVM m68k backend to produce a bare-bones Zig toolchain on macOS, and used DeepSeek tokens to have an LLM generate a Sp…
A developer's experiment presented as a poster at CppCon tested whether a small, local LLM integrated into the Clang/LLVM compilation pipeline could match the -O3 optimization flag, using five deliber…
A developer with more than 35 years of programming experience built a Unicode library in Zig using AI agents despite not being fluent in the language, describing the process as moving from a workshop …
LLVM 23.1 has been released, with 141 commits landing in lld/ELF between the branch point on 2026-01-13 and 23.1.0-rc1 on 2026-07-16, up from 72 in the 22 cycle, according to lld/ELF maintainer notes …
A developer known as No Saved DATA introduced Neve, a new programming language designed to unify high-level Python-like syntax with low-level efficiency for deep learning. The language features LLVM J…
A developer discovered that NumPy's vectorized operations can be slowed by Python overhead in loops, and found that Numba's JIT compilation significantly improved performance. The post explains how Nu…
LLGo, a Go compiler based on LLVM from the XGo project, aims to integrate Go with the C ecosystem by supporting Go 1.20+ source code and the complete Go 1.26 language syntax, including cgo. It uses a …
An MLIR pass can fold 0 * Inf into a quiet NaN attribute during constant folding, producing structurally valid but numerically meaningless IR that surfaces later as a distant accuracy regression in an…
OpenAI is hiring a Software Engineer, Trainium in San Francisco with a salary range of $295k–380k/yr, to build and optimize its inference stack for AWS Trainium, developing high-performance kernels an…
Modular open-sourced its Mojo programming language under the Apache 2.0 license on August 18, three weeks after Qualcomm completed its acquisition of the company, releasing the compiler and developer …
Qualcomm open-sourced the Mojo compiler on GitHub under Apache 2.0 with LLVM exceptions on Tuesday, three weeks after closing its $3.9 billion acquisition of Modular on 29 July. The move, which makes …
Modular Inc. has open-sourced the Mojo programming language compiler and toolchain under the Apache 2.0 license with LLVM exceptions, making the full source code available in its GitHub repository. Th…
Chromia's Rell language compiler was rewritten in five weeks using AI agents, a task that would have taken most of a year by hand, according to a developer who led the effort. The rewrite replaced a t…
A research paper, “GPU Offload in Rust: Portable, Safe, and Fast” (arXiv:2608.13759), introduces GPU programming support directly into rustc, allowing developers to write GPU kernels in safe Rust with…
A new research paper by Manuel S. Drehwald, Marcelo Domínguez, Kevin Sala, Alán Aspuru-Guzik, and Johannes Doerfert demonstrates that using LLVM's Offload infrastructure with the Rust programming lang…
A Rust library called from C# over the same pointers Burst uses runs a game AI workload 6.4 times faster than Unity's default Mono runtime, 4.7 times faster than IL2CPP, and about 2.3 times faster tha…
A new JIT compiler built with AI assistance compiles code in about 5 microseconds, enabling JIT compilation of every SQL query in the pgrust database, according to a blog post by its developer. The po…
AI assistance is making it easier to write JIT compilers with fast compile times by directly targeting assembly, according to a developer building the pgrust database. The author demonstrates building…
A developer proposes building a TypeScript compiler on top of the Go compiler to give TypeScript native concurrency and performance, arguing this would let it compete with Go for high-performance back…
