Kernels Community
\n
The Kernel Hub allows Python libraries and applications to load optimized compute kernels directly from the Hugging Face Hub.
\n
You can think of it as the Model Hub, but for low-level, high-performance code (kernels) that accelerate specific operations, often on GPUs.
\n
Instead of manually managing complex dependencies, dealing with compilation flags, or building libraries like Triton or CUTLASS from source, the kernels library lets you fetch and run pre-compiled, optimized kernels on demand.

Repos
\n
The Kernel Hub team maintains two core repos:
\n
kernels
\n
The main repository containing:
\n
\n- A deterministic kernel builder
\n- A Python library for loading and executing kernels
\n
\n
Documentation:
https://huggingface.co/docs/kernels/
\n
kernels-community
\n
A repository that contains the source code for all of the kernels-community kernels
\n
Source code:
https://github.com/huggingface/kernels-community
\n
\n
Compliant Kernels
\n
Kernels published on the Hub are designed to be:
\n
\n- Portable — loadable from paths outside
PYTHONPATH \n- Isolated — multiple kernel versions can run in the same process
\n- Compatible — support different Python versions, PyTorch builds, and C++ ABIs
