A maker asked Claude and Gemini to design an AI-only coding language
Claude and Gemini were asked to create a meant for AI systems to write, not for people to read or use comfortably. The two models took different routes, but both pointed toward the same basic idea: an AI-only language could remove many parts that exist mainly to help humans understand code. Claude first considered something close to assembly, then moved further toward stripping away human-friendly language features.
The experiment also included making a generator for the new language. The next step is to train a base model to produce code in that language, then have it create a compiler to test whether the code can actually run. The person running the experiment is not a expert and has not written a compiler before, so the whole idea is still unproven.
The work is being documented in a .
Key points
- Claude and Gemini were asked to design a optimized for AI, not humans.
- Both models leaned toward removing parts of s that mainly help people read code.
- Claude briefly moved toward an assembly-like idea before making the design less human-centered.
- A generator was made so a model could learn the new language.
- The planned test is to generate code, build a compiler, and see if anything actually runs.
