LLM writes low-level code and improves performance by 2x

An incredible mise en abyme happened yesterday. A developer managed to get 2x improvement by letting DeepSeek-r1 write code for a specific part of llama.cpp. 

Surprisingly, 99% of the code in this PR is written by DeekSeek-R1. The only thing I do is to develop tests and write prompts (with some trials and errors)

According to the prompts shared by the developer, the model spent thinking 3 to 5 minutes per response.

Salut!

Do I want to write an intro? No. So here we go with a very futuristic link selection.

  1. 👩‍🎨👨‍💻🔑 This is the most fascinating article I ever read on Art, AI, and Blockchain: Does AI Art Belong in the Physical, Digital, or Crypto World?.
  2. 🎧 I love this psychedelic groove: Marhaba by Maalem Mahmoud Guinia, Floating Points & James Holden.
  3. 🔐 Oli Frost has put all his personal Facebook data on eBay. Yes, you can really bid!
  4. 🔐 Nathan Toups has wrote a good article on going completely “Unquantified“. He also wrote a censorship resistant deadman’s switch. Do we live in a cyberpunk world? Absolutely!
  5. 👩‍💻👩‍🎨 You have to watch the videos/gifs of Madeline Gannon training industrial robots to use body language to communicate.
  6. 🔑 If you’re wondering how I often feel about technology: This is how I feel.
  7. 🎧 For some reasons, I spent a few days only listening to FIP (the best musical radio, and it’s french!). I created a playlist with some tunes I like.

Happy reading,

Marc
