Ask HN: Could a LLM Make Mathematica into Python?
Wolfram mathematica has a closed source model, but must give documentation to all its functions. Could a LLM be trained to port this into a Python equivalent?

No, but that's not a limitation of the LLM technology. Python is imperative and Mathematica is declarative. You could get pretty far, but ultimately you'll run into roadblocks.
Interesting. I guess it could kickstart a repo. Thanks for the reply.
It's $400 for a home license; $1,800 if you're a company for Mathematica. Given the work that's fine into it, if you're finding it useful and deriving revenue from it, isn't it worth it to just buy it?
This there any sources on the closed model you just mentioned? Also, what do you mean “into a Python equivalent?
