1. From CUDA to MLX: How K-Search Brings Decades of Kernel Expertise to Apple Silicon
   Researchers from UC Berkeley Sky Lab extended the K-Search evolutionary kernel optimization framework with an MLX backend for Apple Silicon. They developed a structured CUDA-to-MLX translation layer that transfers decades of CUDA optimization expertise to Apple GPUs, achieving near-expert performance on attention and Mamba SSM kernels.
