PAX-Coder-7B
The first GPU code generator that ships a machine-checked proof with every kernel.
The Problem
Every GPU kernel in production today was benchmarked, not proved. The author ran it against cuBLAS, it matched within 5%, and it shipped. Nobody formally verified the memory model is race-free. Nobody proved the pipeline overlap bound holds for all tile configurations. Nobody checked that FP16 rounding stays within 0.5 ulp on the full input domain.
When these assumptions break β and they do β you spend a week in Nsight Compute traces.
PAX-Coder generates kernels where the correctness proof is part of the output.
What It Is
PAX-Coder is a fine-tuned DeepSeek-Coder-7B trained on the PAX sovereign GPU computing codebase: a stack built from five mathematical axioms, verified in Lean 4, implemented in raw PTX, and specified in Futhark. Every output includes four artifacts:
| Artifact | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Lean 4 theorem | Machine-checked correctness proof β zero sorry |
| PTX kernel | mma.sync, ldmatrix, cp.async targeting sm_86 |
| Futhark spec | Compiler-verifiable functional reference |
| PAX certificate | Which of the 8 proof obligations this kernel satisfies |
NVIDIA Hardware Context
PAX-Coder targets NVIDIA Ampere (RTX 3080, sm_86):
GPU: RTX 3080
Architecture: Ampere, sm_86
VRAM: 10 GB GDDR6X (760 GB/s)
Tensor Cores: 3rd gen β mma.sync.aligned.m16n8k8 FP16βFP32
Async Copy: cp.async.ca.shared.global + commit_group/wait_group
Shared Mem: 48 KB/block (or 100 KB dynamic)
Warp Shuffle: shfl.sync.xor.b32 butterfly reductions
Key instructions PAX-Coder uses and proves correct:
mma.sync.aligned.m16n8k8.row.col.f32.f16.f16.f32 β Ampere tensor core MMA.
Takes four FP16 A registers, two FP16 B registers, two FP32 C registers.
PAX proves: result equals the abstract GEMM functional spec.
cp.async.ca.shared.global β Async copy from global to shared memory.
PAX proves: happens-before ordering is preserved across commit/wait groups.
ldmatrix.sync.aligned.m8n8.x4.shared.b16 β Load matrix fragment from shared memory.
PAX proves: layout matches the register encoding expected by mma.sync.
shfl.sync.xor.b32 β Warp butterfly shuffle.
PAX proves: reduction result equals the sum across all 32 lanes.

The Five PAX Axioms β NVIDIA Hardware
| Axiom | Statement | PTX Realization |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Index Space Primacy | Every thread owns one output element | blockIdx Γ blockDim + threadIdx is bijective |
| 2. Permission Necessity | Every access needs a fractional permission | Disjoint warp tiles β no aliasing |
| 3. Sync as State Transition | Every barrier is a happens-before edge | cp.async.wait_group + bar.sync |
| 4. Warp Distinctness | mma.sync path has zero divergence | No conditional before wmma.mma.sync |
| 5. Verification Non-Negotiability | No kernel ships without a proof | zero sorry in Lean 4 output |
The Eight Proof Obligations
| PO | What it proves | NVIDIA realization |
|---|---|---|
| PO1 | Index space partition (coverage + disjointness) | blockIdx tiling covers MΓN exactly once |
| PO2 | Address space separation (shared β© global = β ) | smem[] at fixed shared offsets only |
| PO3 | SIMT reconvergence before barrier | No if (lane_id < N) guard before mma.sync |
| PO4 | Happens-before strict partial order | cp.async.commit_group β wait_group N chain |
| PO5 | Permission sum β€ 1 at every address | Disjoint output tiles from PO1 |
| PO6 | Barrier permission conservation | bar.sync transfers all prior cp.async permissions |
| PO7 | Data-race freedom | PO1+PO5: disjoint writes; PO4+PO6: ordered reads |
| PO8 | Termination + correctness | K-loop finite; final output = C += AΓB on tile |
Training Data
PAX-Coder was trained on the PAX sovereign GPU computing codebase β not GitHub scrape data.
The corpus contains:
- Lean 4 theorems with zero-sorry proofs of correctness, rounding bounds, partition coverage, race-freedom
- PTX kernels hand-written to match the abstract machines the theorems describe
- Futhark functional specs that compile against the same hardware
- PAX Architecture documents mapping the five axioms to proof obligations
Every training example is a triple: (Lean 4 proof, PTX implementation, Futhark spec) for the same computation. The model learns the correspondence, not just the syntax.
~2,400 examples across 6 categories: fp16, gemm, pipeline, epilogue, warp, architecture.
