...but that is exactly what optimizing compilers (and re-compilers) do since forever, and they are already quite good at that.
I fail to see how an LLM could magically improve that.
- amelius 3y agoBecause LLMs have shown that they can reason about code on a higher, more abstract level than a typical compiler.
- ang_cire 3y agoThat's just not true. They're not "reasoning" anything, they're assembling code that appears similar to something they were trained on, within whatever additional language training constraints they're given. I've never had an LLM spit out code that didn't need fixing, which defeats the purpose of preferring them over a re-compiler anyways.
