LLM-explanation is now live in @compiler-explorer.com - An example: compiler-explorer.com/z/rvvx7MxKq * LLMs make mistakes and are overconfident * We'll never force LLMs or AI on you, it's opt in (like clang-tidy, PVS Studio or other tools) * It is *beta* quality Initial results are promising(1/3)

@compiler-explorer.com is now running with a completely new storage mechanism in the back end. It's taken me quite a long time to get to the point where I felt confident enough to switch over to it and it seems like it's gone without a hitch. Details: xania.org/202509/cefs

Hey folks! @compiler-explorer.com is free & open for everyone, but if you're planning to use our API for bulk executions though, please ping us! CE is a shared resource and heavy use can slow things down for the whole community. DM me to chat - happy to help figure out what works for everyone! :)

Support friend of the site Jason by going to one of his excellent courses! Jason was instrumental in publicising CE in the early days and his courses are awesome too! -mg

I've been getting more anecdotal reports that @compiler-explorer.com is slow. Seems to be folks' simple code taking a while, likely queued up behind a longer compile. We've done some digging and it seems to have gotten worse since December last year. Doesn't seem to be bot traffic. Have you noticed?

Huge news! AWS has approved Compiler Explorer for their Open Source Credits program, covering our infrastructure costs for the next year! Thank you AWS for supporting open source! This means faster compiles, better queuing & more improvements coming. Exciting times ahead!

I'm frequently asked "how much does @compiler-explorer.com cost to run". I've done some digging and posted xania.org/202506/compi... which is a high-level breakdown of the costs (and revenue); and links to a more in depth report if you want all the gory details.

I'm half way through my career break, and taking stock. Plan was to do conf talks (check), work on @compiler-explorer.com (check), spend time with family (sort of) and even do some hobby code (also sort of). Higher level goal still is to get CE "on its feet" a bit...

A fantastic walk through of some @compiler-explorer.com features by one of our core maintainers @ofekshilon.bsky.social . Thanks Ofek! youtu.be/_9sGKcvT-TA

It's been a while since I've written about the innards of @compiler-explorer.com. xania.org/202506/how-c... has the details, some statistics and some fun war stories.

Experimenting with something like this for @compiler-explorer.com - wondering what your thoughts are? AI is getting everywhere, and can be divisive. I'm hoping something like this - so long as I can get the output quality high enough - is a net benefit to help folks learn more about their code.

Thrilled to share that @compiler-explorer.com has received a $10K grant from NVIDIA's FOSS Fund! This support will help keep our GPU instances running and allow developers worldwide to experiment with CUDA code. Thank you NVIDIA AI Dev for supporting open source tools! #NVIDIAGrant

We just blocked a TW-based IPv6 address from making many many back-to-back requests, most of which seemed to hit our caches (and thus were duplicates). If this affected you, please DM us or reply and we can help diagnose what went wrong. -mg

Compiler Explorer in 2024! 0.017 cents per compilation for 190M compilations. Tons of new features, Matt takes stock: www.patreon.com/posts/compil...

Sent my first proper Patreon/GitHub sponsor update for @compiler-explorer.com work today. Surreal experience, I'm kinda giving my first update to my new boss(es) :-)

Godbolt now has Slang support! godbolt.org @compiler-explorer.com

So, after over 5 years at Aquatic, I made the tough call to leave and try something else. I had a wonderful time there, enjoyed the work and made some great friends. I'll be taking some time between jobs and will be working on @compiler-explorer.com and other OSS projects. I'm excited!

Only 2 days left 15% off stuff at the CE shop. I just uploaded a dark-friendly logo too! Get some stuff to show off your love of CE and know you're helping the site at the same time! compiler-explorer.myspreadshop.com

Investigating a DDoS attack (looks like script kiddies again). Getting a bunch of weird POSTs to our noscript API. Site is handling it but it's alerting me, so have temporarily blocked some things. Apologies if you're caught in the crossfire! -mg

We have so many compilers on @compiler-explorer.com that the "configuration JSON" we send on /every pageload/ totals 60GiB/day (!!) I think we can probably do better...
