Building AI on an 8-bit Machine: A Throwback to Retro Coding

What if I told you that you could write AI code on a computer from nearly 40 years ago?🕹️

My 8-bit TK90X, a ZX-Spectrum clone.

In a world dominated by GenAI and LLM advancements, I decided to take a step back – way back – to the era of 8-bit computing. This journey isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a deep dive into how early computing shaped the way we code today and a challenge to build AI on extremely limited hardware.

Want to see the code in action?
