ProgramAsWeights compiles specs into local neural programs
ProgramAsWeights compiles plain-English function specs into small deployable neural programs built from a LoRA adapter plus a discrete pseudo-program. The system targets fuzzy text tasks such as classification, extraction, and log triage, with a browser-friendly GPT-2 path for fully local inference.
Core idea is packaging task-specific behavior into compact program weights instead of shipping a prompted full model. The browser-local path is the most compelling practical angle because it makes local inference real rather than aspirational. The benchmark gap looks strong, but it is still a project claim and the real test is whether it generalizes beyond fuzzy-function benchmarks. The main tradeoff is compile-time dependence on a hosted 4B compiler, which favors consumers of compiled programs over users who want to train locally.
