This is Theo's project, and he has been very transparent about how he is only doing these things because api prices are heavily subsidized by subscription pricing. The reason people aren't willing to pay 400k to an engineer to do this work is because they aren't paying the AI this much.
I don't think I've seen an enterprise paying API prices doing these sorts of rewrites, and honestly, I think until that happens I will remain skeptical about LLM AI's viability as a profitable business.

Right now, LLM rewrites like this work if and only if there’s a very robust suite of tests to code against. Otherwise the port is uncanny. Enterprises are willing there’s just often too much complexity and not enough verifiability to make it happen.
