Elliot Arledge
Elliot Arledge is a computer science student at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta, and the creator and maintainer of KernelBench, an agentic GPU kernel engineering benchmark. He is best known for developing the KernelBench-Mega benchmark suite, which evaluates frontier AI coding models on their ability to generate optimized CUDA megakernels. His work has gained recognition in the AI community, including endorsements from Hugging Face co-founders.
“Fable achieved an 18.71X speedup vs. an optimized PyTorch baseline, compared to 14.4X (Claude Opus 4.8) and 4.34X (GPT 5.5) — and did so with a single cooperative kernel launch per decoded token, vs. 4–14 launches for all other high-scoring entries.”
“"The first genuine (and fastest) megakernel ever submitted to KernelBench-Mega, according to one of the benchmarks maintainers."”
