alt Hacker NewsOn the off chance that you’re serious, that would result in disastrously bad output. The difference between “jmp $+15” and “jmp $+16” is inscrutable and the LLM would not be able to pick the right one without tooling.
That tooling is a compiler. The higher level, the better chance the LLM can be steered to good output. Machine code is hopeless, don’t bother.

What about AOT optimization? whuch brings aot closer to JITs performance? Isn't that something LLM + Harness can easily do?

I don't see why that's the case. LLM trained on binary would totally see it, not?
Also the tool can also be running the test and a debugger.

That compiler does wonders with languages that have UB on their specs, especially when having optimizations passes with heuristics.
Also there are dynamic compilers were the shape of machine code changes as the code executes, and each single execution will certainly generate different sequences, depending on the program execution and where it is running.
Deterministic JIT compiler code generation, at least on optimising ones, is not a solved problem.
