to be honest, outside of fullstack and basic MCU stuff, these agents aren't very good. Whenever a sufficiently interesting new model comes out I test it on a couple problems for android app development and OS porting for novel cpu targets and we still haven't gotten there yet. I'd be happy to see a day where it was possible however
replyI’ve found they’re quite good when you’re higher in the compiler stack, where it’s essentially a game of translating MLIR dialects.
replyit'd be nice if one of these environment labs made an environment for cross-architecture porting, it'd be really cool to see some old ppc mac programs running natively, or compiled to wasm (yes, yes I know the visual elements would need to be ported as well)
replyLack of focus from AMD management. See the sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47745611
replyThey just don't care enough to compete.
Agents work great for tasks that thousands of developers have done before. This isn't one of those tasks.
replyUnless you train them with RL in the right task specifically
replyMaybe this is dumb but at the moment through windows (and WSL?) you get:
rocm
DirectML
Vulkan
OpenML?
