Redis creator Salvatore Sanfilippo is building a DeepSeek 4 Flash/PRO local inference engine targeting Metal, CUDA and ROCm, and writes that while agent output doesn't match the best hand-written software, well-managed automatic programming surpasses 'decently developed' hand-written code. He describes using Opus plus GPT-5.x to draft specs and system-programming code even on high-stakes C. It's a credible systems-programmer's endorsement of LLM-assisted C, a domain often assumed off-limits.
