I've thought about this a lot, and it comes down ultimately to context size. Programming languages themselves are sort of a "compression technique" for assembly code. Current models even at the high end (1M context windows) do not have near enough workable context to be effective at writing even trivial programs in binary or assembly. For simple instructions sure, but for now the compression of languages (or DSLs) is a context efficiency.

Wouldn't all binaries be in the training data, rather than the context? And output context could be in pieces, with something concatenating the pieces into a working binary? ChatGPT claims its possible, but not allowed due to OpenAI safety rules: https://chatgpt.com/share/68fb0a76-6bf8-800c-82f7-605ff9ca22e6 https://chatgpt.com/share/68fb0a76-6bf8-800c-82f7-605ff9ca22...
