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.

Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini published a blog post describing how he set 16 instances of the company’s Claude Opus 4 ...

Sixteen autonomous AI agents collaborated to independently build a full C compiler, showcasing unprecedented progress in machine-driven software engineering.

In a previous blog post, we discussed the benefits of using automation to maximize the performance of a system. One use case I mentioned was compiler flag mining, and the fact that performance is ...

The GNU C Compiler – GCC – was first released in 1987. 36 years ago. Several version streams are still actively being developed and enhanced, with GCC13 being the most advanced, and a GCC v10.5 ...

At the core of the project was Claude Opus 4.6, which introduces a new “agent teams” capability. Instead of relying on a ...

AI agents built a fully functional C compiler in two weeks with zero human supervision, compiling Linux and shocking developers.

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 ...

Meta Platforms Inc.’s artificial intelligence research team said today it’s open-sourcing a suite of robust AI models called the Meta Large Language Model Compiler. According to the researchers, it ...

The compiler is the programmer's primary tool. Understanding the compiler is therefore critical for programmers, even if they never build one. Furthermore, many design techniques that emerged in the ...
