Instead of writing raw PTX or using third-party wrappers, you can now write: cuda release news

NVIDIA just cut the official release of – and while hardware gets the headlines (looking at you, next-gen Rubin GPUs), this software update might be the real performance unlock for the next 18 months. import cuda @cuda

CUDA 13 Drops: Hopper Tuning, Python First-Class, and a Smarter Unified Memory Subtitle: What you need to know about NVIDIA’s biggest software leap since Ampere. The biggest quality-of-life shift: cuda

If you’re building HPC simulations, training LLMs, or optimizing edge inference, here’s what changed, what broke (sorry, legacy Kepler devs), and what to benchmark first. The biggest quality-of-life shift: cuda.compile and cuda.execute are now built into the core driver API.
