Analysis
This is a truly impressive achievement! Researchers unleashed a team of 16 AI Agents based on the Claude Opus 4.6 model, and they successfully crafted a 100,000-line Rust-based C compiler. The compiler can now build a bootable Linux 6.9 kernel, paving the way for further advancements in automated software development.
