MSLK
MSLK (Meta Superintelligence Labs Kernels) is a collection of PyTorch GPU operator libraries that are designed and optimized for GenAI training and inference, such as FP8 row-wise quantization and collective communications.

MSLK Library
MSLK (Meta Superintelligence Labs Kernels, formerly known as FBGEMM GenAI) is a collection of high-performance kernels and optimizations built on top of PyTorch primitives for GenAI training and inference.
Installation
# Install MSLK for CUDA
pip install mslk-cuda==1.0.0
# Install MSLK for ROCm
pip install mslk-rocm==1.0.0
# Install a nightly CUDA version
pip install --pre mslk --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu128
# Install a nightly ROCm version
pip install --pre mslk --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm7.1/
Release Compatibility Table
MSLK is released in accordance to the PyTorch release schedule, and each release has no guarantee to work in conjunction with PyTorch releases that are older than the one that the MSLK release corresponds to.
| MSLK Release | Corresponding PyTorch Release | Supported Python Versions | Supported CUDA Versions | Supported CUDA Architectures | Supported ROCm Versions | Supported ROCm Architectures | |---------|---------|---------|---------|----------|-------------|-------------| | 1.1.0 | 2.11.x | 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 | 12.6, 12.8, 12.9, 13.0 | 8.0, 9.0a, 10.0a, 12.0a | 7.0, 7.1 | gfx908, gfx90a, gfx942, gfx950 | | 1.0.0 | 2.10.x | 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 | 12.6, 12.8, 12.9, 13.0 | 8.0, 9.0a, 10.0a, 12.0a | 7.1, 7.2 | gfx908, gfx90a, gfx942, gfx950 |
Note that the supported CUDA/ROCm Architectures refer to compiled C++ kernels. In addition, some kernels (e.g. CUTLASS/CK) would be specific to certain architectures. Python JIT DSL based kernels (e.g. Triton) would potentially work on wider variety of architectures.

Build From Source
We only support building on Linux. See the release compatibility table above for supported versions of Python, CUDA, ROCm.
# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/meta-pytorch/MSLK
cd MSLK
git submodule sync
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Build and install
# The script will create a conda environment and install the required dependencies.
# The conda environment will look something like: build-py3.14-torchnightly-cuda12.9.1
./ci/integration/mslk_oss_build.bash
# After the initial environment setup, you can activate the environment and iterate faster:
conda activate build-py3.14-torchnightly-cuda12.9.1
python setup.py install
Python-Only Build
If you don't need the C++/CUDA kernels (e.g. for testing Python only changes), you can install MSLK in Python-only mode by setting the MSLK_PYTHON_ONLY environment variable. This skips the C++/CUDA compilation entirely.
MSLK_PYTHON_ONLY=1 pip install -e .
