At the core of the project was Claude Opus 4.6, which introduces a new “agent teams” capability. Instead of relying on a single large model session, Anthropic deployed multiple instances operating in ...

Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions costing about $20,000 in API fees, the AI model agents reportedly produced a 100,000-line Rust-based compiler capable of building a bootable Linux ...

Sixteen autonomous AI agents collaborated to independently build a full C compiler, showcasing unprecedented progress in machine-driven software engineering.

Though you can write "C" code in Notepad, you must have a C compiler, such as the compiler included with the Microsoft Visual Studio development suite, to compile the code. To write a C code file in ...

Compilers often translate source code for a high-level language, such as C++, to object code for the current computer architecture, such as Intel x64. The object modules produced from multiple ...
