Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini used sixteen instances of the Claude Opus 4.6 model, organized as “agent teams,” to develop a Rust‑based C compiler from scratch. Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions, the agents produced a 100,000‑line compiler capable of building a bootable Linux 6.9 kernel for x86, ARM and RISC‑V. The open‑source project, released on GitHub, compiles major software such as PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, FFmpeg and QEMU, passes 99 percent of the GCC torture test suite, and even runs Doom. The experiment highlights the potential of semi‑autonomous AI coding on well‑defined tasks.Leggi di più
