> Yes, of course the model with custom kernels is faster, whether it's written by a human or an AI.

But that’s the thing, I wouldn’t write a custom kernel before AI

I don't do that level of development or operate at that part of the stack but I’m very experienced in software development

AI significantly augments my skillsets in this area

The point is those kernels exist already, you can just use them off the shelf. In the case where you're trying to write a production grade kernel without operating at that part of the stack... well good luck with that.
