Anthropic spun up 16 Opus 4.6 agents to build a Rust-based C compiler from scratch - and the compiler they produced was able to compile the Linux kernel 🤯
All 16 agents worked in parallel on a shared codebase without active human intervention. No compiler engineers were involved, and the entire effort cost just $20,000 in API usage. That’s it!
The “agent team” produced a 100,000-line compiler capable of building Linux 6.9. Absolutely insane.
We are living in incredibly exciting times.
