It can already do that, give it a try.

(just asked Sol Max Fast to write a Tic Tac Toe ELF directly. 4m 28s, 912 byte executable)

That's pretty insane.

Btw, interestingly, I tried getting Ox Alpha to make Tic Tac Toe directly as a Linux ELF executable. It came up with assembly code (NASM syntax) and it just timed out when I asked for pure machine code.

Have no experience with Ox Alpha but Sol went to code it down in a .hex file that it then converted into an ELF executable.

The exact prompt was Create a simplest terminal based tic tac toe game. Generate executable ELF binary right away, without using existing or impromptu compilers.
