Exactly correct.

You don’t even need huge token capacity.

You can self assemble source code even for very complex things with a model that *only* handles 4k tokens.

1). Create assembler database

2). Check environment

3). Create code block generation process

4). Create task division process

5). Create QA / testing process

6). Receive mission prompt and acceptance criteria

LOOP

7). Divide task prompt into subtasks prompts

8). Generate 4k code blocks

9). QA / Test

REPEAT

Pretty quickly chug out 1m lines of code for <$5k, complete with searchable development and assurance records.

You could write something with 1 billion lines of code for ~ $2m, in about a week.

Nested self-assembly scales infinitely, it doesn’t need to be super intelligent.
