Fifty-three firsts on SOL Bench, from one node

A week of unattended kernel generation on a single 8×B200 node produced 53 first-place rankings, and it had not stopped finding them.

Still generating. The count below is a snapshot, and the ranking will be updated as entries land.

On a single 8×B200 node, over about a week, KDA generated kernels holding 53 first-place rankings across SOL Bench.

The number to notice is not 53, it is one node and a week. Kernel optimization has historically priced in a scarce human: someone who knows the architecture, reads the profiler and has the patience for the twentieth variant. What this run costs is a machine that was already there and nobody watching it.

That changes which problems are worth attacking. A track that would take an engineer three days and probably yield nothing is not worth an engineer's three days; it is trivially worth a slot in a queue.

The generated kernels are being prepared for release, and the ranking will follow.
