I did took a native c++ approach when writing a relational transformers engine (RelativeDB). My journey was pytorch -> c++ -> Triton (lang). While C++ was more performant than Triton, I couldn't afford to optimize on every gpu. I just accepted the ~15% throughput loss for my cloud service, which honestly wasn't bad for the amount of flexibility I got out of it.
But the cpp port of vllm looks great, that'd be great if you'll maintain that. I hit the same limitations with vllm.

I found the post insightful and interesting. I'm not sure it was written with AI assistance, but even if it was, I don't see that as a reason to dismiss it. For what it's worth, I spend hours everyday reading AI output and summaries.
I went through the post because of your comment but it really doesn't look like AI slop. Can you please share why you feel like its slop and not written by a human? I can also say "should have started writing your own comments" to you and its unfalsifiable. Blanket accusations with no proof is not a good move really.
Could this vllm port be faster to install? Im starting gpu machine multiple times a day and it takes 5 minutes to set vllm up. If Inise this port that time is minimized?
Wasm size from 30Mb to 300kb and 1.5x speedup. It's definitely worth it for performance or distribution size.

I could go on and on, but you probably get the point. If you don't find anything funny with the above, you might have not been enough-exposed to slop.
