    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So letting an LLM loose on a mainframe is like letting a fox into a henhouse. :)

    What was the training data? While there are open source projects for mainframes, most high-quality and battle-tested COBOL code bases are likely proprietary.

    Also, will it be trained on the code base it sees? Most companies would be opposed to sharing their IP.

    Edit: according to the website, the model won't be trained with your data.

    Hopefully Llm while it may not allow immediately for like 100% ready to go financial services code

    Maybe it gives us good tests ?

    That alone for something on cobol might be worthwhile

    Is this available to install on Hercules emulator for hobbyists? For people unfamiliar with Mainframes, check out the moshix youtube channel.

      We don't currently support Hercules, but we are providing free access to a mainframe for people to try out.
