AxiomLM is a high-performance PyTorch library for modern autoregressive Transformer modeling, custom hardware kernel acceleration, and spectral matrix optimization. Engineered from first principles, it bridges the gap between theoretical deep learning and bare-metal hardware execution, maximizing Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) on constrained hardware architectures.

**Primary Focus: Fused Kernels for Mac Silicon**
AxiomLM features custom Metal Shading Language (MSL) and ARM NEON C++ SIMD kernels that drastically reduce GPU SRAM memory allocation overhead during training on Apple Silicon. By bypassing PyTorch's native allocations for intermediate tensors, the framework achieves substantial latency and memory improvements on M-series chips, effectively shifting the operational boundary from the memory-bandwidth bound regime into compute saturation on unified memory architectures.

## Ecosystem Comparison (Apple Silicon)

To contextualize the bare-metal performance gains, here is how AxiomLM scales against standard deployment frameworks and "big model" inference engines running natively on Apple M-Series architecture (124M-class model):

| Framework / Inference Engine | Execution Backend | Throughput (tok/sec) | MFU (%) | KV-Cache / Memory Overhead |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **HuggingFace (Transformers)** | Standard PyTorch (MPS) | 2,800 | 20.9% | $O(T^2)$ Dynamic Allocations |
| **Llama.cpp** | Native C/C++ (Metal) | ~6,100 | ~44.5% | Static Block Pre-allocation |
| **Apple MLX** | Swift / C++ Array API | ~7,200 | ~51.2% | Streamlined Array Ops |

    model, 
    fwdbwd_per_iter=64,
    dt=0.45,
