DeepGEMM is DeepSeek's open-source CUDA kernel library for high-performance matrix multiplications used in large-scale LLM training and inference. The April 2026 update is the most significant since launch, adding Mega MoE (fused Mixture-of-Experts layers with overlapped NVLink communication), FP8×FP4 mixed-precision GEMM, an FP4 Indexer for efficient token routing, and faster JIT compilation across the board. The headline number is 1550 TFLOPS on H800 GPUs — a substantial jump that makes this directly relevant for anyone running MoE-based models at scale. The Mega MoE addition specifically targets the bottleneck in distributed inference where GPU-to-GPU communication eats into compute efficiency, a problem that grows worse as model and cluster sizes increase. The library continues to be fully open-source and JIT-compiled, meaning it ships without prebuilt binaries and adapts to the target hardware at runtime. For ML infrastructure teams building on DeepSeek's architecture or running large MoE models in production, this update is a material performance unlock.

RuView is a WiFi sensing platform that uses ESP32 hardware and a stack of AI models — spiking neural networks, graph neural networks, and temporal convolutional networks — to detect human presence, estimate 17-point body pose, and monitor vitals like breathing rate and heart rate. All of this happens without any cameras, through walls, in complete darkness, using only WiFi Channel State Information (CSI). The system achieves 92.9% PCK@20 accuracy for pose estimation and runs on ~$9 of ESP32-S3 hardware, with a Python backend handling the heavier model inference. It can track multiple people simultaneously, detect falls, and monitor respiratory rates in real time. MIT licensed and fully open source. Camera-free sensing that works through walls at $9 in hardware is a genuine privacy-preserving alternative to video surveillance for use cases like elder care monitoring, security, and occupancy sensing. The limitation is that it still requires a Python inference server for the heavier models — the ESP32 handles data capture and lightweight preprocessing only.
Reviewer scorecard
“1550 TFLOPS on H800 with FP8xFP4 is not a marginal gain — this is the kind of kernel work that makes large MoE deployments economically viable. If you're running DeepSeek-style architectures, benchmark this immediately.”
“ESP32 at $9 for the capture layer with Python handling inference is a sensible hardware/software split. The multi-person tracking and fall detection make this immediately deployable for elder care or smart building occupancy. I'd want to see benchmark numbers across different home layouts and WiFi router brands before shipping it in a product, but the architecture is sound.”
“JIT compilation means you're compiling on first run, which adds friction in reproducible production pipelines. This is infrastructure for specialists — most teams should wait for these gains to flow through higher-level frameworks like vLLM before touching it directly.”
“92.9% PCK@20 sounds impressive until you realize PCK@20 is a fairly lenient threshold — this is demo-quality, not production-quality pose estimation. RF-based sensing is notoriously environment-specific; move the router six inches and retrain. The 'through walls' framing also raises real privacy concerns: this can monitor people without their knowledge or consent.”
“The FP4 push is significant: FP4 is the next compression frontier for inference at scale. DeepSeek open-sourcing their kernel work here accelerates the entire ecosystem's ability to run frontier-class models cheaply.”
“Camera-free sensing is foundational infrastructure for a world where AI monitors physical spaces without the privacy baggage of video. Elder care, physical rehabilitation, smart home automation — all of these become viable in privacy-sensitive contexts once you remove the camera. At $9 per node, mass deployment is economically possible for the first time.”
“Pure infrastructure — unless you're personally operating GPU clusters, this update is invisible to you. The benefits will trickle down through cheaper API pricing in a few months.”
“Body pose tracking without cameras opens creative possibilities that were previously gated by camera placement and lighting — interactive installations that work in the dark, through partitions, or in spaces where cameras aren't appropriate. The human presence detection alone is useful for responsive environments that need to know when people enter a space without watching them.”
