I implemented @GoogleResearch's TurboQuant as a CUDA-native compression engine on Blackwell B200.
5x KV cache compression on Qwen 2.5-1.5B, near-loseless attention scores, generating live from compressed memory.
5 custom cuTile CUDA kernels ft:
- fused attention (with QJL oftmax
-on-chip cache decompression
- pipelined TMA loads
Try it out: devtechjr.github.io/turboquant_cut…
s/o @blelbach and the cuTile team at @nvidia for lending me Blackwell GPU access :)

In 2026, Agents have now created a commercial imperative to create this world for all of us by demanding context graphs across systems.
Here is to hoping it transfers to our personal world.
