    Closest thing to mind is Numba's cuda JIT compilation : https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/cuda/index.html

    Then you have Cupy : https://github.com/oulgen/CudaPy

    But in my opinion, the most future proof solutions are higher level frameworks like Numpy, Jax and Tensorflow. TensorFlow can JIT compile Python functions to GPU (tf.function).
