FlashAttention kernel auto-derived from 25 lines of SQL

Original: Show HN: Automatic deduction of FlashAttention kernel from ~25 lines of SQL

A developer has shown a tool that automatically deduces a FlashAttention GPU kernel from roughly 25 lines of SQL, shared as a benchmark on a code repository. The claim has drawn attention from programmers discussing whether a declarative query language can really generate an optimized attention kernel, a core building block of modern AI models, without hand-written CUDA code.

Why now: It combines SQL, compiler-style automatic code generation and FlashAttention, a hot topic in AI performance engineering.
