Sorry are we referring to the efficiency of generating programs (i.e. optimizing LLM software development) or the efficiency of the output (i.e. optimizing software through the generation of assembly)?

We are referring to not having to use 3GL languages as intermediate step for LLMs to generate native code.

I'm not seeing strong claims here on improved token efficiency for general use cases, but it's absolutely not my area of expertise.

Completely understandable why this would be valuable research though. Will be interesting to see how it evolves.
