In plain words
Llama2.c on a Commodore C64 is a port of the Llama 2 language model that runs on vintage Commodore 64 hardware. It enables the classic 1980s computer to perform AI inference, though processing is significantly slow. The project is designed for retro computing enthusiasts and hobbyists interested in exploring how modern machine learning can function on historical systems with severe hardware constraints.

I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord.
