Did opus have an oracle for the original compiler? If not, then it's expected that qwen would do a better job.

As is known, LLMs are amazing when verification is cheap, and much less useful when it's expensive.

It actually did. There was an older yacc-based implementation that had a lot of architectural limitations. We decided that it was better to start over with a better architecture, but we did have that older one around to compare generated microcode initially.
