I've migrated the old Mast3r-SLAM example I had made last year to the latest version of @rerundotio and made a bunch of improvements! I wanted to spend some time with agents to modernize it. Here's an example of me walking around with my iPhone and getting a dense reconstruction at about 10FPS on a 5090. Heres the following improvements I made. Brought it into the monorepo with proper packaging: • Using @prefix_dev pixi-build to get rid of all the mast3r/asmk/lietorch vendored code with just a few small patches. This let me remove so 60k lines of code from the repo! • Don't have to build the lietorch code on my machine anymore, which was taking ~10 minutes to compile (and also made it work on blackwell when it previously did not) Rebuilt the @Gradio interface: • Fixed incremental updates, .MOV uploads, and stop behavior • Made the CLI Gradio interface share the same entry point so updates automatically propagate Upgraded the @rerundotio integration: • Switched to a multiprocessing async logging strategy • Added video/pointmap/confidence logging • Improved blueprint layout and hid noisy entities from 3D view • Biggest perf win was the async background logger - documented about a ~2.5x speedup from decoupling logging from tracking The newest and most interesting part was my attempt to replace the CUDA kernels for Gauss-Newton ray matching with a @Modular Mojo backend. As a Python dev, every time I look at CUDA code I basically shy away as it's pretty difficult for me to understand. Mojo let me rewrite the matching logic in a syntax I'm more comfortable with while still getting near-CUDA performance. Mojo is now the default matching backend with CUDA fallback. One major piece that's missing is the custom PyTorch op path, but I'll eventually do that as well. I heavily leaned on Claude Code to do the CUDA → Mojo migration, and I have no doubt it's not the cleanest or most idiomatic, BUT it's way more readable for me and helps me better understand the underlying algorithm. This was a ton of work, and a large part of why I'm doing it is how the monorepo compounds. This becomes an artifact for the next example I want to build with Claude that I can point to, which will make it even faster to implement. The compounding nature of this is really interesting and part of why I'm spending so much time trying to make things nice and readable.
