Hey GLM 5.2, build me a hypervisor
The article explores using GLM-5.2 (a large language model) to generate a simple hypervisor from scratch. The author details the process of prompting the model to produce functional code for virtual machine management, discussing the capabilities and limitations of AI-generated low-level systems software.
Background
- GLM 5.2 refers to open-source AI models from Tsinghua University and Zhipu AI (a leading Chinese AI startup). "GLM" stands for General Language Model, and version 5.2 was released in early 2025, positioning itself as competitive with GPT-4 and Llama 3 in code generation.
