You can get much more modern hardware with firmware. This was mostly an expirement to see how good LLM are at reverse engineering. Given that it went well I think making fully free (without Intel) x86-side firmware is possible.
Companies put a ton of work into proprietary RAM training algorithms that I think would be hard to replicate. I know AMD has open sourced their older pre-Zen BIOS and that has made its way into coreboot, but Zen1+ is all proprietary.
>Fully free
[The following question is only valid if you meant "free" as in "GPL/BSD"]
Is it completely clear that LLM code is considered "clean room" and won't leak copyrighted code?
