Meet the Developers of Helion

Tuesday April 7, 2026 15:10 - 15:40 CEST

Open Platform

This session offers a unique opportunity to connect with the core developers of Helion (https://github.com/pytorch/helion)—ask questions, share feedback, and explore collaboration opportunities with the team.

About Helion
At PTC 2025, we launched Helion (in Beta), a PyTorch-native kernel authoring DSL designed to deliver portable performance across heterogeneous hardware. Since then, Helion has outperformed expert-tuned Triton and CuTe DSL kernels and seen meaningful adoption across research labs, production teams, and OSS frameworks like vLLM.

At PyTorch Conference Europe 2026, we are excited to announce Helion 1.0 (General Availability). Join us to learn how Helion works under the hood and discover what's new in the GA release.

Core Developers
Jason Ansel: Research Scientist, creator of PyTorch Compiler and Helion
Oguz Ulgen: Software Engineer, creator of PyTorch Compiler cache, working on Helion
Will Feng: Software Engineer working on TorchInductor and Helion
Markus Hoehnerbach: Software Engineer focusing on Helion development and kernel authoring

Drop in for an informal discussion, share your experiences, and explore opportunities to collaborate with the team!

Speakers

Will Feng

Software Engineer, Meta

Will Feng is a Software Engineer in PyTorch Compiler team at Meta. He has been working in PyTorch core and ecosystem for the past 7 years. He is now working on and most excited about torch.compile for distributed training performance.

Oguz Ulgen

Software Engineer, Meta

I'm a software engineer at Meta where I used to work on the Hack programming language and now work on PyTorch.

Jason Ansel

Research Scientist, Meta

Jason Ansel is a Research Scientist at Meta AI and a technical lead for PyTorch compilers. He started the TorchDynamo and TorchInductor projects, which bring flexible graph capture and a high performance compiler to PyTorch 2. He received a Ph.D. from MIT and has over 15 years of... Read More →
