Software
The stack that turns silicon into intelligence: kernels and compilers, training frameworks, inference engines, orchestration and the agent layer.
Veldnotities
Hardware haalt de krantenkoppen, maar software is waar de lock-in zit. Eén platform hier is oud genoeg om te stemmen en bepaalt nog steeds welke chips mensen kopen; de jongste vermeldingen zijn nauwelijks twee jaar oud en zijn al dragend voor het agenttijdperk.
Begin met deze drie
CU
CUDA
Twee decennia aan bibliotheken — de diepste slotgracht in de technologie.
VL
vLLM
De open engine die een groot deel van de tokens ter wereld verwerkt.
MC
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
De universele poort van het agentijdperk, binnen een jaar breed overgenomen door de industrie.
Compute platforms & kernels
5
CU
CUDA
NVIDIA's programming platform — the deepest moat in the industry.
NC
NCCL
The collective-communications library every distributed training run calls.
RO
ROCm
AMD's open-source answer to CUDA — the gap that narrowed at last.
T(
Triton (OpenAI)
Python-level GPU kernels — the community's crowbar under the CUDA moat.
X/
XLA / OpenXLA
The compiler that makes TPUs programmable — now an open project.
Trainingsframeworks
5
PY
PyTorch
The framework nearly every modern model is written in.
DE
DeepSpeed
Microsoft's scaling toolkit — ZeRO sharding made huge models trainable.
JAX
Composable function transforms — the framework Gemini is built with.
MC
Megatron-Core
NVIDIA's reference recipe for trillion-parameter training.
TensorFlow
The 2015 giant that industrialized deep learning — now in JAX's shadow.

Inference & serving
6
VL
vLLM
The open-source serving engine that made GPU inference efficient.
OR
ONNX Runtime
The portable format for shipping models across hardware.
OL
Ollama
One command to run an open model locally.
SG
SGLang
The high-performance serving runtime born from RadixAttention research.
TL
TensorRT-LLM & Dynamo
NVIDIA's tuned inference stack — peak tokens from its own silicon.
LL
llama.cpp
The C++ project that put LLMs on laptops — and invented GGUF.
Orchestration & cluster management
3
Kubernetes
The cloud's operating system, retrofitted for GPUs.
RA
Ray
Distributed Python for the whole ML pipeline — Anyscale's engine.
SL
Slurm
The HPC batch scheduler most big training runs still queue through.
Libraries, tooling & the agent layer
4
MC
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The open standard connecting AI models to tools and data — USB-C for agents.
HF
Hugging Face Transformers
The library that standardized how models are shared and loaded.
L&
LangChain & LangGraph
The scaffolding layer of the agent era.
W&
Weights & Biases
Experiment tracking for the training runs on this site — now CoreWeave-owned.
