Am I understanding what you're saying correctly?

* We need a deterministic input language

* The LLM generates machine code

Isn't that just a compiler? Why do we need the LLM at that point?

If the compiler only gets you 80% of the way there, but what it does is sufficient to put the LLM on rails, like programming language mad libs, I'd say that's a win.

I feel like I'm still not understanding something. How does making the output from the LLM lower level help?

Concrete example: Next/Turborepo. These tools make your life easier if you drink some kool aid. Rather than have the agent scaffold the app you have the agent use a tool that scaffolds. Agents write specs to manage tools, and those tools scaffold the code, then the agents just sprinkle in business logic that is too bespoke for codegen.

Yup, that's the idea. Mad libs are still constrained
