I'm guessing the x86 emu is cause Windows games are rarely built for ARM, right? Was kinda curious how an ARM VM would fare. Anyway awesome article.

Yes. Valve has done a ton of work here because it's required to be able to run x86 games on a Steam Frame which has an ARM cpu.

Wow, phenomenal project and write-up, thanks for sharing it. "no - not in any practical sense today, and "maybe" only in a very deep, borderline-impractical research sense." This is why humans will always rule over crappy LLMs.

I believe that LLM (and ML in general) tools really shine when they are developed and used AS tools.

Unfortunately, I also believe that market forces may push away from this direction, as LLM companies try to capture the value stream

The Steam Deck is pure x86, it's not an ARM-based CPU. The Steam Frame might be what you're thinking of.
