That begs the question of what abstraction layer is necessary beyond an assembler, if any? If human handcrafted ASM outcompetes compiled C then why not give LLMs the wheel on ASM? Then another question is - are there enough good ASM publically available as examples?

There's certainly enough ASM available if the LLMS-can-reason hypothesis is true.

You'd only need one accurate ASM manual per variant.
