I guess the difference here being that we have ample compiler literature and practically know 99% of all there is to know about compilers that exist in the wild vs this new field.

Until we’ve gathered and agreed on a few “dragon books” for LLMs and have explored all there is to LLMs, you’re probably right - know-how will be with the practitioners and in source code until it’s distilled (pun intended).

Better comparison would be low level code running on smaller chips. Intersection of hardware and software engineering
