If you truly believe that, why don’t you just transform code directly to assembly? Skip the middleman, and get a ton of performance!

- n4r9 6mo agoCan agents write good assembly code?
- svachalek 6mo agoWith the complexity of modern pipelines, there are very few humans that can beat a good optimizing compiler. Considering that with an LLM you're also bloating limited context with unsemantic instructions I can't see how this is anything but an exercise in failure.
- mirsadm 6mo agoI don't know if I agree with that. It's a struggle to get a modern compiler to vectorize a basic loop.
- operatingthetan 6mo agoI know you're being cheeky but we are definitely heading in that direction. We will see frameworks exclusively designed for LLM use get popular.
- nemo44x 6mo agoI think that’s possible too but the trouble is training them. LLMs are built on decades of human input. A new framework, programming language, database, etc doesn’t have that. We are in the low hanging fruit phase right now.
- operatingthetan 6mo agoIf it knows the language already a new framework is a piece of cake. A few MD files explaining it is enough for the pattern recognition to kick in. I've had one LLM create a novel framework and pass them to another and it's trivial for a fresh instance to pick it up.
- bdcravens 6mo agoI assume you're being cynical, but there's a lot of truth in what you say: LLMs allow me to build software to fit my architecture and business needs, even if it's not a language I'm familiar with.
- charcircuit 6mo agoAssembly eats up context like crazy. I usually only have my LLM use assembly for debugging / performance / reversing work.
