DeepGEMM vs GSD (get-shit-done)

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.

GSD (get-shit-done) is a meta-prompting and context engineering system for Claude Code that imposes software engineering discipline on AI-assisted development. It replaces ad-hoc prompting with a five-step methodology — initialize, discuss, plan, execute, verify — that keeps context fresh and quality high across long, complex projects. The system works by loading specialized documentation strategically: project vision, requirements, roadmaps, and research are injected at the right phases rather than dumped into a single bloated context window. Planning produces XML-formatted task trees with built-in verification steps, and execution happens in waves — parallel where dependencies allow, sequential where they don't. Quality gates automatically detect schema drift, security regressions, and scope creep before they compound into bigger problems. For teams that have experienced the quality degradation that hits around hour three of a long Claude Code session, GSD's architecture of fresh context windows per phase is the fix. A Quick Mode handles ad-hoc tasks without the full planning overhead, making it practical for both exploratory work and milestone-driven development. It's MIT-licensed, JavaScript-based, and designed for solo developers and small teams who want spec-driven development without enterprise process overhead.
