Developer demos a language model that runs in a boot sector
Original: Show HN: A language model that lives in a boot sector
A developer known as kerlenton has released a project called bootgpt, a language model small enough to live inside a computer's boot sector, the tiny piece of code that starts a machine. The project, shared on GitHub and posted to Hacker News, has drawn attention for packing AI inference into roughly 512 bytes of startup code, a striking technical stunt given how large language models normally are.
Why now: The idea of fitting a language model into a boot sector is an unusual engineering feat that appeals to programmers interested in extreme size constraints.
