ProgramAsWeights: compile AI functions from English and run them offline on your CPU
yuntiandeng · x · 2026-09-19
yuntiandeng demos ProgramAsWeights, an open-source project that compiles AI functions described in plain English into small neural programs, callable like Python functions and running locally on your own CPU — no internet required.
- The idea: optimize sub-1B models for one specific task each, turning them into fast, focused "functions as weights."
- Code and models are public. One commenter is building a harness comparing gemma 4 e4b alone vs +PAW vs +PAW+JEV.
- Seen as a clever route to squeeze the most out of tiny models, with curiosity about pairing stronger tool routing.
