I think unlike Gluon/CuTe/ThunderKittens (which distinguish themselves from Triton by being lower level giving you more control, thus being less performance portable and harder to write), Helion distinguishes itself from Triton by being higher level and easier to write.
IMO, this is something that makes sense for PyTorch to release, as "neutral ground" in the industry.
