The project demonstrates running a working Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator by repurposing approximately 1GB of Qwen LLM weights as neural hardware. It showcases an unconventional approach to emulation using large language model weights instead of traditional software.
Background
This follows a trend of repurposing LLM weights for non-language tasks, similar to previous projects that use transformer weights as FPGAs or neural accelerators for other purposes.
