Full Article
NVIDIA released Warp as an open-source Python framework for writing GPU kernels that compile down to CUDA at runtime. We spent a week running it against the workloads it was actually designed for — particle simulation, contact-rich robotics, and differentiable physics — and compared it side-by-side with JAX and Taichi to figure out who Warp is genuinely for. The short version: Warp is not trying to replace PyTorch, and the comparison most reviews make to JAX misses the point. Warp live
