Merged summary
TL;DR - SMART is an ML performance-modeling library represented primarily as a DAG of natural-language design documents, with coding agents regenerating its implementation for each version. The approach suggests design specifications may be more durable than source code for fast-changing ML systems.
- Worked examples in the design documents serve as in-context demonstrations that improve regeneration reliability.
- A minimal recursive operator IR combines symbolic SymPy cost expressions with analytical roll-up and modulo-scheduling modes.
- Generated implementations matched hand-audited reference models, including DeepSeek-V3 serving on a TPU pod slice, to round-off precision.
- Human changes are made to the design documents rather than implementation code, making the system self-documenting by construction.
