    In this age of LLM written everything which has softly killed my motivation for learning Rust somewhat, this has revived my interest if not only for the fact the LLMs haven't yet been trained on this yet!

      Sad to break it to you, but...

      I had LLMs write a pile of cuda-rust code and they were quite competent at it. Ported a bunch of (C++) CUDA kernels over, and ground away on them til they got equivalent performance

      <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rdaum&#x2F;eider&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;backends&#x2F;cuda-oxide" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rdaum&#x2F;eider&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;backends&#x2F;cuda-oxide

      And mostly just DeepSeek 4.1 Flash, too. Not even a frontier model.

      Sorry.
