#2Any place where we can test the llm output without loading it on n64?
Curious of what we can get out of those constraints.

#3Cool, is there maybe a video demonstrating this?

#4Yes it runs on emulator. I am fixing the endianess text issue from llm output right now. And the surprise is coming soon. Happy 40th Zelda!

#5I tried to build this but it's missing the weights.bin file and my computer is too weak to generate it. Can you add it to the repo?

#6I normally don't write comments like this, but... this title was extremely challenging to parse.

#7The readme says:

...anyone who has ever used very small language models before should see the problem here. They're fun and interesting, but not exactly, um, coherent.
The N64 has a whopping 8 megabytes (!) of memory, and that's with the expansion pack!
I'm kind of confused, especially since there are no demonstration videos. Is this, um, real? The repository definitely contains source code for something.

The repo description on GitHub would have been fine

#9This feels like an AI agent doing it's own thing. The screenshot of this working is garble text (https://github.com/sophiaeagent-beep/n64llm-legend-of-Elya/b...), and I'm skeptical of reasonable generation with a small hard-coded training corpus. And the linked devlog on youtube is quite bizzare too.

You mean to tell me the included screenshot hasn't convinced you?
