    Damn, I did exactly this already for the M3 and got it working. Was hoping to make a post about it but this kinda scoops it. Bravo!

        I'm currently traveling but I'll post it tomorrow. That said, you could recreate it yourself by just cloning the Asahi repos and asking Astra to make it work on the M3. I followed along with Alyssa Rosenzweig's original series of articles and tried to reproduce the milestones that she did in the same order to sanity check the work. The whole thing took about a week.

          I’m going to try getting it going with codex and Claude code this evening.

          I’ve just found that having more cousin projects to be inspired by really helps llms. Plus, you never know what future project/agent may find a gem in your project to apply somewhere else.
