It's actually quite easy to spot if LLMs were used or not.

Very few total number of commits, AI like documentation and code comments.

But even if LLMs were used, the overall project does feel steered by a human, given some decisions like not using bloated build systems. If this actually works then that's great.

Since when is squashing noisesum commits an AI activity instead of good manners?

The first commit was 17k lines. So this was either developed without using version control or at least without using this gh repo. Either way I have to say certain sections do feel like they would have been prime targets for having an LLM write them. You could do all of this by hand in 2026, but you wouldn't have to. In fact it would probably take forever to do this by hand as a single dev. But then again there are people who spend 2000 hours building a cpu in minecraft, so why not. The result speaks for itself.

Can you prove that this is what happened?

this type of project is the perfect project for an llm, llvm and cuda work as harnesses, easy to compare.

[kmaitreys]

What do you mean by harnesses?

It's quite amusing the one time I did not make an anti-AI comment, I got called a clanker myself.

I'm glad the mood here is shifting towards the right side.
