DeepSeek's FP8 GEMM kernels hit 1,550 TFLOPS on H100 — no CUDA install needed

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.

Entry

Oh My Codex (OmX) is an open-source orchestration layer that wraps around OpenAI's Codex CLI without replacing it. Built by indie developer Yeachan-Heo, it adds the multi-agent infrastructure that Codex CLI conspicuously lacks: spawning parallel worker agents in isolated git worktrees, a persistent project memory file (.omx/project-memory.json) that survives context pruning, and extensible event hooks via .omx/hooks/*.mjs. The standout feature is the live Heads-Up Display — run 'omx hud --watch' and get a real-time terminal dashboard showing which agents are running, what they've done, and where they're stuck. Special built-in commands like $deep-interview (intent clarification), $ralplan (consensus planning with trade-off review), and $ralph (persistent execution until verified) give structured workflows on top of raw Codex intelligence. OmX fills a real gap: power users of Codex CLI were already duct-taping together scripts to coordinate agents and persist state. OmX makes that native, composable, and observable — without forking the core engine. It's already integrating with OpenClaw for cross-tool memory sharing.

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.

The primitive here is clean: a process supervisor and state manager for Codex CLI agents, using git worktrees as isolation boundaries — which is exactly the right call, not an invented abstraction. The DX bet is that complexity lives in `.omx/` config and hook files rather than a CLI flag explosion, and that's the right place for it; the `$ralph` loop pattern in particular solves a real problem I've personally scripted around three times. The weekend-alternative test is close — you could duct-tape worktree spawning and a JSON state file yourself — but the live HUD and hook system would take a week, not a weekend, and the result would be worse. Earns the ship on the hooks-as-composition primitive alone.

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.

Category is Codex CLI orchestration, and the direct competitor is OpenAI itself — which has every incentive to ship native multi-agent coordination the moment it becomes a retention driver, at which point OmX's entire value proposition evaporates. The specific scenario where this breaks is any team larger than one: `.omx/project-memory.json` as a flat file is going to produce race conditions and merge conflicts the moment two engineers are running agents against the same repo simultaneously. What kills this in 12 months is OpenAI shipping native agent orchestration in Codex CLI — not 'if,' when — and the tool would need either a model-agnostic architecture or a community-owned memory backend to earn a ship.

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.

The thesis here is falsifiable: within two years, the bottleneck in AI-assisted development shifts from individual agent capability to coordination overhead — and the team that owns the orchestration layer owns the workflow. OmX is betting on git worktrees as the canonical isolation primitive for agent parallelism, which is a smart bet because it composes with every existing tool in the developer stack without requiring new infrastructure. The second-order effect that matters isn't faster coding — it's that the `.omx/hooks/*.mjs` pattern turns OmX into an event bus for AI agent actions, which means the real play is cross-tool coordination (the OpenClaw integration is the tell). OmX is early on the multi-agent dev tooling trend line, which is exactly where you want to be if the thesis holds.

Creator

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.

The job-to-be-done is singular and honest: coordinate multiple Codex CLI agents on a shared codebase without losing your mind or your context. Onboarding is a GitHub clone and one config file, and the live HUD delivers value inside the first five minutes — you can actually see what your agents are doing, which is the moment current Codex CLI users feel the problem acutely. The one real completeness gap is that `project-memory.json` as a single JSON file is going to hit a wall fast on larger projects, and there's no apparent answer for conflict resolution yet; that gap keeps this in the 'power user only' tier for now, but it's a solvable problem and the core product opinion — agents should be observable and stateful — is the right one.
