Thanks for the detailed reply. It’s always interesting to hear about real experiences from a different software domain.
So it sounds like the main problem is the under-specified hardware. I can definitely see how that would limit the usefulness of LLMs.
I used to work on consoles, including the N64, which are fairly low-level compared with a typical Windows, Linux, or Mac application. But you’re obviously working much closer to the hardware, which is a completely different world altogether.
