AI model integrates RISC-V CPU into weights, runs Doom

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

An AI engineer has successfully integrated a 32-bit RISC-V CPU directly into the weights of the Qwen 3.5-4B large language model, creating a system dubbed "Qwenputer." This experimental model can execute arithmetic operations, run C and MicroPython code, and even play the game Doom, albeit slowly. The implementation uses the model's own Gated DeltaNet state as RAM and has passed RISC-V tests, demonstrating its ability to process instructions and perform calculations without external tools. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates novel methods for integrating computational logic directly into LLM weights, potentially improving arithmetic capabilities and enabling in-model execution.
