DeepGEMM is DeepSeek's open-source library of highly optimized FP8 General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) kernels targeting NVIDIA SM90/SM100 GPUs — the H100, H800, and Blackwell class. The headline feature is a lightweight just-in-time (JIT) compiler that eliminates the need for offline CUDA compilation at install time, dramatically lowering the barrier for teams who want raw GPU throughput without complex build pipelines. The library covers FP8 and FP4 dense GEMMs, BF16 accumulation, grouped GEMMs for Mixture-of-Experts architectures with overlapped NVLink communication, and multi-query attention scoring kernels. On H800 hardware DeepGEMM posts up to 1,550 TFLOPS — competitive with hand-tuned vendor libraries — while remaining fully open source under the MIT license. For LLM inference teams running on H100/H800 clusters, DeepGEMM slots directly into inference stacks like vLLM and SGLang. It's especially notable because it came from DeepSeek's internal training infrastructure, meaning it's been battle-tested at the scale that produced some of 2026's most cost-efficient models. This isn't research code — it's production tooling going public.

Eyeball
Embeds source screenshots in AI analysis to kill hallucinations

Eyeball is a GitHub Copilot CLI plugin with a deceptively simple idea: instead of trusting the AI to accurately summarize documents, it captures screenshots of the actual source material and embeds them alongside the AI's claims in the output report. If the model says "Section 10 requires mutual indemnification," the report shows that exact section highlighted in yellow directly below the claim. The underlying insight is sharp — screenshots cannot be hallucinated. Text can be subtly reworded, paraphrased incorrectly, or synthesized from nowhere. But a screenshot is a literal capture of the source. Built for legal review, compliance analysis, financial due diligence, and any domain where the stakes of an AI error are high. Built by indie developer dvelton, it handles PDFs, Word documents, and web pages. MIT licensed, free to use. Surfaced on Hacker News Show HN today, where it sparked an active discussion about AI verification and the underrated value of visual evidence in AI-assisted analysis workflows.
Reviewer scorecard
“If you're running inference on H100s or H800s, DeepGEMM is an immediate drop-in for the hottest path in your stack. The JIT approach means you're not fighting CUDA version mismatches, and 1,550 TFLOPS is a number that makes you pay attention. Already integrates with vLLM — just use it.”
“This is one of those ideas that makes you think 'why isn't every AI analysis tool doing this?' The implementation is simple — capture screenshots of the source during analysis — but the trust it builds in the output is enormous. I'd use this immediately for any contract or regulatory review workflow.”
“This is only useful if you're already running H100/H800 clusters — consumer GPU users get nothing here. Documentation is still thin in places, and support for anything below SM90 is explicitly not a priority. Great for DeepSeek's own infra needs; might be too narrow for most teams.”
“Screenshots prove the source exists but don't verify the AI's interpretation of it is correct. A model can still misread highlighted text or draw wrong conclusions. Also, PDF-to-screenshot pipelines get messy with scanned documents, multi-column layouts, and complex tables — exactly the docs where hallucinations are most likely.”
“DeepSeek consistently publishes its internal tooling and each release raises the efficiency ceiling for the whole industry. DeepGEMM is another piece of the puzzle that makes frontier inference cheaper — which ultimately benefits everyone downstream from model providers to end users.”
“Eyeball points toward a future of verifiable AI outputs — not just 'the model said this' but 'the model said this, here's the evidence, here's the reasoning chain.' Legal AI adoption hinges on explainability, and embedded source screenshots are a practical step toward outputs that hold up under professional scrutiny.”
“Far outside the creative tooling space but the downstream effect matters: faster, cheaper inference means the models powering creative AI tools get cheaper to run. Not something a designer touches directly, but the efficiency wins flow through to them eventually.”
“For research, journalism, and content work where you're citing sources, this is a game-changer. The ability to produce a report where every claim is visually anchored to the source makes the output publishable rather than just useful. The design of the output document matters — would love to see more control over the visual layout.”
