Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions costing about $20,000 in API fees, the AI model agents reportedly produced a 100,000-line Rust-based compiler capable of building a bootable Linux ...
Sixteen autonomous AI agents collaborated to independently build a full C compiler, showcasing unprecedented progress in machine-driven software engineering.
Fanboys think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Devs aren't nearly as won over Opinion I'm willing to be impressed by AI products, but Anthropic's AI‑built C compiler leaves me a bit cold.
One of the hardest things I found when first learning C++, outside of learning about pointers and memory management, was how to successfully compile code using third-party libraries. As a game ...
