DeepSeek speeds up V4.1 Flash 1017 inference

To fully realize the performance potential of flash models like DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, inference infrastructure must be optimized closest to the hardware layer. The author details three primary optimization techniques: kernel fusion to reduce VRAM round trips, Programmatic Dependent Launch to overlap execution timelines, and host loop minimization via CUDA graphs to bypass Python scheduler bottlenecks.
