Event Recap | From Compilation Optimization to Scenario Applications: A Multi-Perspective Analysis of AI Compiler Technology Innovation and Implementation Experience in the Agent Era

Featured Image

On August 1st, the 9th Meet AI Compiler Technical Salon successfully concluded in Zhongguancun, Beijing! This session featured Chen Tianqi, a pioneer in the AI Compiler field, along with several technical experts from leading technology companies. They shared their insights on programming languages, operator optimization, inference execution, and application scenarios, areas in which they have long been deeply involved. From the continuous evolution of the open-source community to the practical application of compiler optimization in real-world scenarios, different technical paths converged here, making the technical landscape of AI compilers more comprehensive.

Follow the WeChat official account "HyperAI" and reply with the keyword "0801 AI Compiler" to get the speaker's complete PPT.

This time, we saw many familiar faces and made many new friends. On stage were technical practices from different teams, while off stage, developers were asking questions and exchanging ideas about technical details. From a sharing session to a Q&A session, and then to discussions that continued during the tea break, many thoughts were extended in new ways through this collision. Perhaps this is why we have always insisted on creating Meet AI Compiler—to allow people who are working on AI compilers to meet each other, to give opportunities for exploration in different directions to collide, and to create a truly connected and warm technical community for a group of people who have come together because of technology.

Share topic:FlagTree: Triton-TLE Language Extensions, Tile IR Backend, and Compiler Optimization Practices

Contents:This presentation will be divided into three parts. The first part introduces the challenges faced by Triton and how TLE (Tracked Operators) progressively exposes hardware details through three levels of language extensions, achieving a better balance between portability, maintainability, and performance. The second part focuses on the engineering practice of integrating Tile IR into the Triton compiler FlagTree, introducing how it, as a new type of compiler backend, further expands the performance optimization space of Triton operators. The third part will systematically analyze key compiler optimization techniques such as layout optimization and instruction reordering, demonstrating a complete compilation optimization path for cross-chip high-performance operators.

Watch this sharing session and you will learn:

1. How does TLE control on-chip memory, how does it express distributed and producer-consumer models, and how does it inline the vendor's native language?

2. How can TLE and Tile IR backends improve the performance ceiling of Triton key operators?

3. How compiler optimization techniques reduce data layout transformation overhead, improve instruction execution efficiency, and further unleash the performance of the Triton operator.

Share topic:TileRT: Speed is Intelligence – Computational Exploration and Co-design for Ultra-Low Latency Large Model Inference

Contents:As large models reach trillions of parameters and enter the agentic era, extreme inference speed has become a key element in supporting complex task flows and fully unleashing the model's potential. However, when systems attempt to further push latency limits, traditional system architectures and execution bottlenecks often become insurmountable obstacles.

This report introduces the latest explorations of TileRT, demonstrating how to build a software stack for large-scale model computing with ultra-low latency, from the perspective of AI compilers, runtime architecture evolution to model-system co-design.

Watch this sharing session and you will learn:

1. Speed is Intelligence: Exploring why "speed" is gradually becoming a key indicator for the inference side of large models in the Agentic era.

2. System Architecture Exploration: This section introduces the architectural evolution of TileRT, using GLM-5 as an example to discuss how to significantly improve inference performance by refactoring the underlying computation scheduling.

3. Model-System Co-design and Production Practice: Sharing how to break through the 1000 TPS speed bottleneck in single-batch inference for trillion-parameter models through joint design of models and systems.

Share topic:FalconGEMM: Surpassing Hardware Peaks with Lower-Complexity Matrix Multiplication

Contents:Matrix multiplication (GEMM) is the core of computational power for training and inference of large models. However, as model size grows exponentially, the O(N³) complexity of the standard algorithm is constantly approaching the physical peak of the hardware. How to continue to extract performance when chip computing power is at its peak has become a key issue for large model infrastructure. Understanding the principles, value, and engineering challenges of low-complexity matrix multiplication breaking through the performance ceiling in the context of operator optimization reaching its peak is crucial. One path explored by the mathematical community for more than 50 years is low-complexity matrix multiplication (LCMA, such as Strassen and AlphaTensor) – exchanging fewer multiplications for more memory accesses and additions, thus "breaking through" the hardware peak in an equivalent sense. However, the three major engineering challenges of memory access bloat, algorithm selection, and cross-platform portability have kept it at the theoretical level for a long time.

This report introduces the FalconGEMM project, which systematically brings LCMA from paper to the production-grade software stack, covering three levels: compiler-automated code generation, memory access optimization through group parallel fusion, and algorithm decision-making based on performance models. It also achieves a comprehensive surpassing of top-level official libraries on various GPU/CPU platforms and real large model workloads.

Watch this sharing session and you will learn:

1. Understand the principles, value, and engineering challenges of low-complexity matrix multiplication breaking through the performance ceiling when operator optimization reaches its limit.
