kerlenton / bootgpt

A language model that lives in a boot sector

Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does

Picture from the kerlenton/bootgpt README

What it does

The MBR is 512 bytes of hand written asm. It loads an 11.5 KB int8 model from the next 23 sectors and runs it in 16-bit real mode on a 386. No OS, no C runtime, nothing. The machine wakes up and dreams a Linux boot log: timestamps, PCI bars, ACPI events for hardware that never existed.

Get started

No single install command. Read the steps in the README (opens in new tab)
