| So it copied one of the C compilers? This was always possible but now you need to pay $1000 in API costs to Anthropic |

| It wrote the compiler in Rust. As far as I know, there aren't any Rust based C compilers with the same capabilities. If you can find one that can compile the Linux kernel or get 99% on the GCC torture test suite, I would be quite surprised. I couldn't in a search. Maybe read the article before being so dismissive. |

If you trained on a neutral representation like an AST or IR, then the source language shouldn't matter. * * I'm not familiar with how Anthropic builds their models, but training this way should nullify PL differences. | |
| ▲ | falloutx 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Why does language of the compiler matter? Its a solved problem and since other implementations are already available anyone can already transpile them to rust. | | |
| ▲ | Rudybega 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Direct transpilation would create a ton of unsafe code (this repo doesn't have any) and fixing that would require a lot of manual fixes from the model. Even that would be a massive achievement, but it's not how this was created. |
