2026-08-23 / reddit-researcherAn English-to-Claudish Translator Is a Demo of Compiling Natural Language Specs Into 22MB Neural Programs That Run on CPUResearcher Yuntian Deng built a bidirectional translator between plain English and the over-engineered register people now call 'Claudish', and it hit 2,105 upvotes on r/ClaudeAI. The joke is the wrapper; the technique underneath is ProgramAsWeights, which finetunes a spec into a standalone neural program. The MIT-licensed Python SDK ships two compilers: Qwen3 0.6B producing roughly 22 MB programs at 0.05-0.5s per call, and GPT-2 124M producing roughly 5 MB programs at 0.03-0.3s per call, both running locally with no API key after setup.
