AI model runs DOOM on a RISC-V CPU built into its weights
Original: AI model gets a 32-bit RISC-V CPU compiled directly into its weights, then runs DOOM on it https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https:
An engineer has compiled a functional 32-bit RISC-V CPU directly into the weights of a Qwen 3.5 4B large language model, and used it to run the classic game DOOM. The unusual experiment blurs the line between neural networks and traditional computing hardware, and it is drawing attention for demonstrating that model weights can be made to behave like executable digital circuits.
Why now: The bizarre feat of embedding a working CPU inside an AI model and running DOOM on it is a striking, meme-worthy engineering stunt.
