The world of AI used to have people training models for solving substantial issues - like beat world's best go players or solving protein folding. Now that the AI got good, perhaps we forgot a bit how to do it. There is still cheap hardware around for tinkerers and people who want to continue good AI legacy. But the hardware may miss software. It is for those people that I started working on zyx long time ago - ML library in hopes of running on any hardware. One example of such hardware is tenstorrent. But the basics must be built first. And so today I'm showing you skamandros. A tiny, self-contained driver and compiler for tenstorrent cards (tested on p100a). PTX like input, mostly abstracted away hardware details (other than tiling), automatic optimizations and operation fusion. Hope you can use this software to write AI models that people can like.
