TaglineAI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.Qwen's open-source GPU kernel library that squeezes 2–3× more speed out of linear attention on NVIDIA Hopper hardware — if you're lucky enough to own one.The fastest AI inference in the world. Crazy low latency.

Best forReplacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.ML engineers and researchers running Qwen3.x linear-attention models on H100/H200 clusters who need to close the gap between theoretical GDN efficiency and actual hardware throughput.Developers who need sub-100ms LLM responses.
Strengths
  • Sources every claim
  • Fast, current answers
  • Pro Search runs multi-step research
  • Spaces for persistent context
  • 2–3× forward-pass and ~2× backward-pass speedup over FLA Triton kernels on Hopper GPUs
  • Gate-driven automatic intra-card context parallelism boosts SM utilization in long-sequence, small-head-count regimes without manual config
  • Hardware-friendly algebraic reformulation reduces Tensor Core, CUDA Core, and SFU overhead with no numerical precision loss
  • MIT licensed and fully open-source — drop it straight into Qwen3.x training and inference pipelines
  • 500+ tokens/sec on Llama/Mixtral — feels instant
  • Custom LPU hardware
  • Great free tier
Weaknesses
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
  • Extremely narrow hardware requirement: SM90+ only (H100/H200, DGX Spark) with CUDA 12.8+ and PyTorch 2.8+ — useless outside Hopper-class clusters
  • GDN/Qwen-specific: not a drop-in replacement for FlashAttention-style softmax kernels, and won't help you if you're not running linear-attention Qwen models
  • Very new, minimal community adoption or third-party validation yet
  • Open-weight models only (no Claude/GPT)
  • Less flexibility on custom configs
Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A genuinely impressive, laser-focused kernel optimization from the Qwen team — real speedups on real hardware — but its utility is gated behind Hopper GPUs and Qwen's GDN architecture, making it a niche power tool rather than a broadly useful library. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.
