I’m out of the loop on this sort of workflow. I guess this is referencing the LLMs super reverse engineering capabilities. They are impressive but how much would that sort of task cost? There isn’t a ton of headroom if we’re going to beat a Pi, right? I mean they aren’t super cheap anymore, but you also have to factor in the phone.
