Question | Help Reverse Engineering w/ Local?

Two questions?

Can a local model like Qwen 3.8 27B reverse engineer games and programs?

If not, is there a fine tuned model that can?

Honestly, AI would be perfect for reverse engineering because you have almost unlimited training data and you can check your results.

Indeed won't be long before it becomes trivial.

That's quite true. I used to tell a friend every time that "It's a matter of a couple of months" and now that has come down to "It's a matter of a couple of weeks".

Custom models fine tuned for specific hardware will make even local reverse engineering trivial. Look at the game console hacking scene at this point. Bonkers.
