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.

Seeknal
Data & ML CLI where you define pipelines in YAML and query them in natural language

Seeknal is a Data & ML CLI designed for teams running agent-driven data pipelines. The core workflow follows three verbs: Organize (define pipelines in YAML or Python), Expose (materialize data to PostgreSQL and Apache Iceberg), and Action (query and transform data in natural language). It uses a draft, dry-run, apply progression that gives teams control before changes hit production. The natural language query layer is what sets Seeknal apart from standard data pipeline tools. Instead of writing SQL to explore a freshly materialized table, you describe what you want — and Seeknal translates that to the appropriate query against your Postgres or Iceberg target. The combination of structured pipeline definition (YAML/Python) with flexible natural language exploration is designed for the reality that data teams include both engineers who want explicit control and analysts who want fast iteration. The 'built for the agent world' framing reflects a genuine architectural choice: Seeknal's API is designed to be called programmatically by AI agents, not just by humans with keyboards. This matters because data pipeline management is increasingly something agents need to do autonomously — fetching fresh context, materializing results, and querying outputs — without human intervention at each step. Seeknal launched on Product Hunt today targeting teams that have adopted agentic workflows but still treat their data infrastructure as human-operated.
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.”
“The draft, dry-run, apply workflow is the right abstraction for data pipelines that agents touch — you want to see what's going to happen before it materializes to production Iceberg. The natural language query layer saves me from writing boilerplate SELECT statements to verify pipeline output, which is maybe 30% of my current pipeline debugging time.”
“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.”
“Natural language to SQL is still unreliable for complex queries — hallucinations in your data pipeline output can corrupt downstream analysis silently. The Iceberg and Postgres combo covers a lot of use cases but excludes BigQuery, Snowflake, and Databricks users who make up a huge chunk of enterprise data teams. This feels more like an impressive demo than a production-ready CLI.”
“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.”
“Data infrastructure that agents can operate autonomously is one of the key missing pieces in the agentic stack. Today's agents are smart enough to reason about data but lack the tooling to materialize and query it reliably. Seeknal is early infrastructure for fully autonomous data agents — the kind that can ingest, transform, and query without a human in the loop.”
“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.”
“This is firmly in the backend infrastructure category — the YAML pipeline definitions and Iceberg targets are beyond what most creator-focused teams need. For analytics on content performance or audience data, there are simpler options. Seeknal's complexity is justified for data engineering teams but overkill for creators.”
