That doesn't mean it is not strictly feedforward. You run it again, with a bigger input. If it needs to do a loop to figure out what the next token should be (Ex. The result is: X), it will fail. Adding that token to the input and runn

No LLMs cannot be compilers. As for the argument that modern compilers also have nondeterminism in places is still comparing apples to oranges. LLM's indeterminism means it can always choose from the entire token space. Including junk.

What accumulation of knowledge? LLMs are marketed as "democratizing" (I hate this term) software development specifically by claiming to remove the need for knowledge. Software development hasn't been democratized. The term d

Whenever I need to write a parser, and I don't need the absolute best performance, I reach for the lua LPeg library. Sometimes I even embed the lua engine just so I can use that and then implement the rest in the original language.
