We open-sourced Paddock, our Rust/C++ inference engine with its own CUDA kernels (MIT/Apache-2.0)

Excerpt

I'm one of the developers. We said in August it would go open source in September and it did last night. MIT or Apache-2.0, pick one. The repo you see is our internal repo, kernels included, so from now on everything happens in public. It's an inference engine in Rust and C++ with our own CUDA kernels. One binary with OpenAI and Anthropic style APIs, loads GGUF and safetensors. We run about 300B tokens a year through it at work. Some numbers: Qwen3.8-27B FP8 on one RTX PRO 6000, spec decoding of
