It's quite telling that the 8B Taalas chip was already reticle-sized on TSMC N6. I mean, we're talking about a process that does ~100 MTr/mm², ROM needs about one transistor per bi…

There's a reason you used to have a separate four-pin cable going from the CD drive to the sound card ;)

Most problems should be divide-and-conquerable into chunks that 300 vs 400k context is basically never an issue. A coding agent isn't an infinite chat.
