Bootgpt
Bootgpt is a neural network boot sector program that generates a fake Linux boot log on startup.
Bootgpt is a neural network that boots a PC and generates a fake Linux boot log directly from the master boot record. The program consists of 512 bytes of handwritten assembly that loads an 11.5 KB int8 model from disk sectors and runs it in 16-bit real mode. It includes Python scripts to generate a training corpus, train and quantize the char-level model, and record demos from QEMU. The engine fits into the MBR while weights and strings live in the following sectors. It is designed for retro computing enthusiasts interested in extreme low-level machine code and boot sector programming.
