Nesformer Compiles NES CPU into Qwen3.5 Model Weights
October 30, 2026
Nesformer uses a compiler to embed a 6502 CPU, 2 KB of RAM, and ROM into Qwen3.5-4B weights. The model functions as a hardware emulator by using Gated DeltaNet states as machine memory to predict CPU execution logs one token at a time.
