That's awesome. Have you tried asking it to convert Python (psuedo-ish) code back into C that interfaces with the kernel?

No, but only because I have no use for it. I wouldn't be surprised if it did a fine job! I'd be remiss if I didn't note that it's way better at doing this for the Linux kernel than with codebases like Zookeeper and Kubernetes (though: maybe o1 makes this better, who knows?).

I do feel like someone who skipped like 8 iPhone models (cross-referencing, EIEIO, lsp-mode, code explorers, tree-sitter) and just got an iPhone 16. Like, nothing that came before this for code comprehension really matters all that much?
