## Summary  
Real‑time multimodal applications such as voice agents and interactive video generation rely on heterogeneous model pipelines that demand precise placement, streaming, and intra‑model parallelism decisions. Existing serving frameworks and auto‑parallelism compilers are limited to fixed transformations and workload assumptions, forcing developers to handcraft optimal deployments for each new system. FlashRT introduces an **agent harness** that guides a generic coding agent through a multi‑pass transformation pipeline to automatically lift developer reference implementations into highly optimized, multi‑GPU deployments. The approach dynamically balances latency versus throughput across diverse hardware budgets and produces deployments that can achieve up to 70× latency reduction on NVIDIA B200 GPUs while delivering comparable gains on AMD MI355X platforms.

## Key Contributions  
- **Finding 1:** FlashRT creates a chain‑of‑program paradigm where an agent first converts a reference implementation into a detailed intermediate representation (IR) that captures data dependencies and persistent‑state scopes.  
- **Finding 2:** The harness performs static analyses to generate candidate transformations, then iteratively implements, verifies, and benchmarks each candidate under measurement‑gated optimization loops.  
- **Finding 3:** FlashRT yields substantial performance improvements—up to 70× latency reduction on NVIDIA B200 GPUs and 3.6× peak throughput gain on AMD MI355X—while matching expert‑optimized results on less mature hardware.

## Methodology  
The authors approach the problem by treating deployment optimization as a sequence of program transformations guided by an AI coding agent. In the first pass, the reference code is parsed into an IR that records data flow and state lifetimes. A sequential interpreter validates this IR, followed by static analyses that identify feasible parallelism and streaming candidates. The second pass iteratively implements each candidate, runs it through a measurement‑gated loop, and selects the best trade‑off between latency and throughput. This two‑stage pipeline enables the agent to explore many deployment strategies without requiring human expertise.

## Results  
Experimental evaluation on video world models and multimodal LLMs shows FlashRT converting reference implementations into deployments that reduce response latency by 65% compared with expert vLLM‑Omni on AMD MI355X. On NVIDIA B200 GPUs, the harness achieves up to ~70× latency reduction and 2.8× throughput improvement. The results are consistent across hardware, confirming that agent‑driven optimization scales well beyond mature platforms.

## Significance  
FlashRT demonstrates that AI agents can autonomously generate high‑performance deployments for real‑time multimodal services, reducing the need for manual expert tuning and accelerating time‑to‑market. By handling heterogeneous GPU ecosystems, it lowers barriers to deployment efficiency, especially on emerging hardware where human expertise is scarce.
