  • Cross-Platform: DSL compatibility issues

Mitigation Strategies

  1. Parallel Development: Work on independent features simultaneously
  2. Incremental Rollout: Phase features with fallback options
  3. Community Engagement: Open source contributions for faster progress

👥 Team Allocation

Team Focus Area Size Lead
Infrastructure Architecture, scaling 3 TBD
Backend SLIME, Megatron, FSDP 2 TBD
Models MOE, large-scale training 2 TBD
Agent Tool calling, intelligence 3 TBD
Compiler Multi-DSL, kernels 2 TBD
Frontend GUI, visualization 2 TBD
QA/Benchmark Testing, KernelBench 2 TBD

💬 Discussion Points

  1. Resource Allocation: Should we prioritize GUI or agent intelligence first?
  2. Model Strategy: Focus on MOE or scale to 70B+ dense models?
  3. DSL Priority: Which kernel languages after Triton?
  4. Deployment Model: SaaS vs on-premise priority?
  5. Open Source Strategy: What components to keep proprietary?

📝 Action Items

  • Assign team leads for each workstream
  • Create detailed technical design docs
  • Set up bi-weekly roadmap review meetings
  • Establish success metrics tracking
  • Initialize component repositories
  • Draft partnership strategy for tool integrations
