With how AVX512 is implemented, there isn't much point in a compiler auto optimizing general purpose code to use it, because even if there is a theoretical speedup, it may well be slower in practice.

There might not be one, but all major C, C++, Hotspot, Graal and RyuJIT compilers do it to some extent.
