Who do you think does most of the work in LLVM for example?

It is full of PhD paper contributions.

For example, research students doing internships at Embecosm (https://embecosm.com), as many others, plenty of material from LLVM Developers Meeting sessions.



I see that I misread LLVM as LLM. My bad.

Thanks.


Uhhhh, I was talking about compilers however?

Obviously a lot of what passes for "AI" these days is researched and created by academics.


Sorry, I though LLVM, clang, Swift, D, and everything about it were compilers.


Maybe check the others comments first, I already admitted I mistook LLVM for LLM.


Missed the other ones, and could not delete any longer.


…what? Why bring "AI" into this?


I guess this is due to the tag line of the company. I am not familiar with the compiler/LLVM space so unsure how the different branches (compiler maintenance and AI tool infrastructure for example) are covered by the PHD internships, etc.


Oops, I severely misread LLVM as LLM!
