Are we sure about that? I mean, we have seen that LLMs are able to generalize to some degree. So I don't see a reason why you couldn't put an agent in a loop with a profiler and have it try to optimize the code. Will it come up with entirely novel ideas? Unlikely. Could it potentially combine existing ideas in interesting, novel ways that would lead to CCC outperforming GCC? I think so. Will it get stuck along the way? Almost certainly.
