KernelBench C
AI benchmark · Coding
What is KernelBench?
An agentic GPU-kernel benchmark that measures how much of the hardware roofline a model's correct, audit-clean kernels reach on six demanding CUDA and Triton problems.
Tier C
C
Niche: a handful of models scored, or built by an RL vendor.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- no usage data
- in curated RL directories (1 pt)
- its family includes KernelBench Hard (tier B)
How we got to tier C
- Adoption: no usage data. Tier D.
- Not yet read on X.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Root of a benchmark family that includes KernelBench Hard (tier B): raised to C, one step below.
- Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
