Yeah I've handed it a naive scalar implementation and said "Make this use SIMD for Mac Silicon / NEON" and it just spits out a working implementation that's 3-6x faster and passes the tests, which are binary exact specifications.

It can do this at the level of a function, and that's -useful-, but like the parent reply to top-level comment, and despite investing the time, using skills & subagents, etc., I haven't gotten it to do well with C++ or Rust projects of sufficient complexity. I'm not going to say they won't some day, but, it's not today.
