AI agents spend 500 billion tokens decompiling a shooter
Original: 500B tokens later: Letting AI agents decompile a first-person shooter
An engineer has published an account of using AI coding agents to reverse-engineer and decompile a first-person shooter, reporting that the effort consumed roughly 500 billion tokens. The write-up walks through how the agents handled the decompilation workflow and what the results reveal about using large language models for large-scale software archaeology. It is drawing attention as a striking case study in how far AI agents can be pushed on long, complex engineering tasks.
Why now: Readers are interested in a concrete, unusually large example of AI agents succeeding at a difficult reverse-engineering task
