I don't see why a strong model wouldn't significantly outperform any human in this sort of low level optimization work. We don't hand optimize assembly either.
replyIt's about the competitive edge.
If a public model can do it, everyone has access to it so nobody has advantage.

Let's say you want to have a company that runs inference 5% faster, if everyone can do it your business model is worthless.
