They don't verify the correctness of their kernels. They expect you to pick the working ones from their kernel junkyard yourself.
The very idea is also dumb as hell. They could have done CUDA -> HIP/oneAPI/Metal/Vulkan/SYCL/OpenCL. Then they wouldn't need to beat the performance of anything, just the automatic porting would be worth an acquisition by AMD or Intel.
Problem with startups like Devin (AI sw engineer) and Sakana (AI research scientist) is that they are full of hot-air.
They get caught up in the hype, and focus on the marketing and not the essential engineering.
