The sad part is that most software patents are so woefully underspecified and content-free that even Claude might have trouble coming up with an actual implementation.

But it ultimately doesn't even matter because they contain nothing of value anyway. For example googling G0F6 in google patents yields this weird one from yesterday.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US12411877B1/en?q=(G06F)&c...

This shit patent is effectively claiming to have invented a "layer" that takes user prompts in a service, determines if the prompts need to be responded to in "real time mode", and if so route the prompt to an LLM that runs quickly and return the results. (As opposed to some batched api I suppose?).

I mean this is just routing requests based on if the query is prioritized. Its a patent claiming to have invented an IF statement. Most patents are of this quality or worse.

Might as well read VixRa papers for better ideas. And I mean this sincerely, because at least they aren't as obfuscated and the authors at least pretend to have ideas.
