>Hey I am the first author of one of the "abstractions"

I know who you are and you should probably be out in the open with the fact that you have a conflict of interest in working at octo, a company that sells a very specific type of ML compiler.

>Let's instead constructively talk about techniques in concrete items. If you look at OpenAI's Triton

Pretty ironic you would call out Triton is being the right abstraction because while it is true philippe did a very good thing by moving things from warp level to block level, there is absolutely no one that thinks (myself included) that Triton is an abstraction.
