During a recent experiment, a Commodore 64 program called 'c64_gen_ai' was used to generate single-color 8x8 sprite characters using a simplified AI model. The program takes approximately 20 minutes to run and produces a final image. This project serves as a proof of concept and is not intended for practical use. The 'c64_gen_ai' generator supports a variable number of iterations, showcasing the potential for AI workloads on older hardware. Nick Bild, the developer behind this experiment, trained the AI image generator on 100 retro-inspired sprites using a modern computer. The trained model was then transferred to the Commodore 64, which runs the model using BASIC code. The experiment demonstrates that modern machine learning techniques can be run on slow archaic hardware, opening up possibilities for generative AI on retro systems like the Commodore 64 [9b594bdb] [81b399bc].
