I linked the wrong repo originally, apologies.

Edit:

This video was tested with the currently available git repo:

Could've fooled me, I've been running claude code on power.

I don't know how to program, I just understand the concepts of hardware emulation. I forked this from FEX-Emu a few months ago. Myself and another contributor used a mixture of local llms running on our power hardware and claude code. All work was done on Arch Power maintained by kth5. There is a lot of work to do as I only have a power8 machine, my co-contributor has a power9 workstation.

edit: I linked the wrong repo, here.

I don't know if this is the appropriate forum for this post.
