You still need documentation. Asahi on M1 is 7 years old, with no ACPI substitute.
It may shock you to hear that coding was never the bottleneck for emulation or reverse-engineering.

I'll believe it when I see it. As I said, there are still unsolved problems that AI can't fix taking shots in the dark.
I have no particular love for Asahi, but they've made 10x more progress than the vibe coded alternatives.

Yes, and LLMs work well for the non-coding parts too. Pointing Claude at Gravity's repos has gotten Linux running well on my M4 Pro mini, with GPU acceleration as of a few days ago. So either I'm a genius or LLMs are pretty good at this, and I'm not a genius.

The Honeykrisp driver and upstream M4 Linux support was written by Asahi, not Gravity: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.4-SoCs
You're downstream of all of those kernel and Mesa changes on Gravity.
Again, any RE project that forbids AI use will get its milkshake drunk by a similar project that embraces AI.
