Why it matters
An agent written RMSNorm kernel hit 1.88x speedups on H100s. A finetuned Qwen3 0.6B hit 35% on LiveCodeBench. Neither result required a systems engineer. Just coding agents with the right skills loaded. Ben Burtenshaw from Hugging Face walks through three levels: using Claude Code interactively to write and benchmark C
