flashinfer is an important library for llm inference, I'd like to second this request, please help :)

we are also working with flashinfer to help produce python version agnostic wheels using python abi, so that the project-level usage can be low.

Merry Christmas,

Hi @yzh119,

The project name that you wanted is unfortunately a name that was marked as prohibited. A name can be deemed prohibited if it had posed a security risk before such as being associated with malware or any other malicious intent. We are working on determining future perceived risk to decide which prohibited names can be released and which ones will continue to stay in that bucket. Thanks for your patience.
