I really enjoyed this! I do agree with the other comments that a larger vocabulary would be nice. The way some games handle this is by giving bonus points for words that are unintended by the author but are perceived as valid. Or maybe giving extra time? IMO, keep the vocab a bit limited, though (maybe top 30k words or similar).

That's a fair point. That probably makes more sense, especially when viewed from a company-specific perspective. Each individual actor probably has much more to gain by trying to actually compete than by trying to commoditize the complement.

If viewed from a national perspective, then the decision calculus could get more confusing. I can imagine that commoditizing LLMs might cost substantially less than trying to be a leader in the space. Of course, there is also less to gain in commoditizing LLMs versus being a leader.

I'm not sure, though, and you bring up good points.

I believe the repo linked in the post is actually quite different, converting Python to runnable whitespace.
