I'm curious, if you have that philosophy (which makes a lot of sense), you must have considered building is a sort of more abstract (but extensible) UI toolkit language and library and you could code in that then compile it down to React? Or have you found the benefit of large LLMs already having detailed React training is just too high?

This.

We've tried a lot. We have been around since Oct 2023. First tried fine-tuning, but it's very hard to teach an LLM something new.

At one point, our product lived in a Figma plugin (https://x.com/Teddarific/status/1729153723728011618). To do this, we had the LLM output JSON, and then converted that to Figma nodes. This is sort of what you're saying. But the big issue was it would hallucinate many things and was really only good at the examples we fed it.
