For me the huge difference between re-compilability and re-excuteability scores is very interesting. GTP4 achieved 8x% on re-compilability (syntactically correct) but abysmal 1x% in re-excutability (schematically correct) demonstrated once again its overgrown mimicry capacity.

I don't think it shows that. GPT4 was not trained on decompiling binaries back into C. Amazing result for an untrained task.

We are soon going to have robust toolchain detection from binaries, and source recovery with variable and function names.

We're interested in the toolchain, could you share the link or reference to it? GPT4 does an amazing work, we're also very surprised that it can work.

I don't have a toolchain, I am predicting research that will be able to detect the exact toolchain used from the binary. If you can detect the toolchain, then you can iterate to a fixed point (grind) until you recover a perfect copy of the source.
