  World-first ports:
  - Modern Rust compiler (borrow checker, async, AltiVec) on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 PowerPC
  - llama.cpp LLM inference on Tiger/Leopard (1-5 t/s on real G4/G5)
  - llama.cpp on IBM POWER8 with PSE optimizations (85+ t/s)
  - 59-tool bundle for vintage Macs

And we are just getting started. Rustchain: Proof of Antiquity Coin @rustchainpoa X. We solved satoshi's 1 cpu 1 vote. https://youtu.be/T_o39s7r0iE https://youtu.be/KEE6QV2dCEU Claude code on power 8? Done https://github.com/Scottcjn/rust-ppc-tiger https://github.com/Scottcjn/rust-ppc-tiger
