This is because developers are writing these bits of assembly code to speed up their programs when run on Apple’s ARM-based computers, without considering the other 64-bit ARM devices out there, such as SBCs and servers running Linux or BSD.

There are three highly complex roadblocks that need to be overcome for this to be a real concern: statefulness, hallucination, and contamination pic.twitter.com/ZZq4OPrglb
I suspect GPT-4's performance is influenced by data contamination, at least on Codeforces.
