Meta continues to increase market competition by prioritizing its investments in artificial intelligence. In this context, the company announced the release of the Meta LLM Compiler, which uses AI to optimize and compile software.

A new era in software development with Meta LLM Compiler

The LLM Compiler, trained with a dataset of compiler codes, can perform tasks such as reducing code size and reverse engineering. According to Meta, the LLM Compiler achieved results similar to those of humans.

Meta’s shared details also enhance the understanding of optimization techniques. In internal tests conducted by the company, it was noted that the LLM Compiler could reduce code size by up to 77%. Even more impressively, the model achieved a 45% success rate in converting assembly code (machine language) into a format understandable by humans.

Meta aims to use the Compiler project to research and develop AI-supported programming tools. Chris Cummins, one of the lead researchers of the project, said, “We want the LLM Compiler to push the boundaries of code optimization with large language models.”

Meta aims to showcase what can be done with AI in software development. A researcher commented, “The LLM Compiler not only improves optimization in specific areas but rethinks the entire field of compilers.”

According to the company, this could reshape developer skills and transform how code is written, optimized, and maintained in the coming years.
