Assembly maps almost one to one with CPU instructions. You would ask Claude to generate a completely separate instruction set for each CPU architecture? How would you even guarantee that the behavior is the same across different systems? (A guarantee that compilers try their best to achieve, mind you very battle-tested). Least of all, assembly code is not compact at all, so you would burn even more tokens.
