AI SDK & OpenAI o3 Quantization Kernel Benchmarking Suite

Comparing FP8, INT4, and AWQ quantization kernels across inference hardware requires precise throughput measurements and accuracy degradation tracking. Build a TypeScript Vercel AI SDK pipeline powered by OpenAI o3 to automatically benchmark quantization kernels and compute performance-cost trade-offs.

Evaluates kernel benchmark reporting accuracy and cost trade-off calculation fidelity.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

speedup_validity

Ensures FP8 shows target throughput improvement over FP16 within reasonable bounds.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

benchmarking_precision_score

Accuracy of benchmark prediction against standard empirical measurements • target: 0.96 • range: 0.9-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
