That would be mind blowing. Why go through all the lost intermediary steps, especially through Python and JS, when you can generate machine code directly

[eternauta3k]

If your model is error-prone, having control structures, types and other compile-time checks is very valuable. It's harder to constrain arbitrary machine code to make something sensible.

[mejutoco]

Intuitively it makes sense, but I am not fully convinced about this. You could give it only a few register and discard invalid operations for certain registers or plain known invalid operations.

But that doesn't stop it from generating code that segfaults.

[mejutoco]

That is the same problem as generating python that blows up, no? (assuming it is tested in a sandbox)

[treyd]

Interpretability, reasoning about the generated code, portability, etc. Probably also demands a larger model with a higher cost of training (and likely more training data) to target a more unstructured "language" like machine code.
