Agreed. While not directly applicable, I was a huge fan of Mozilla's rr [0] in undergrad. Quoting their site:
> rr records a group of Linux user-space processes and captures all inputs to those processes from the kernel, plus any nondeterministic CPU effects performed by those processes (of which there are very few).
I think the solution will resemble that. You don't control the LLM, sure. But you can control what it sees, and maybe that's good enough.

LLVM-Guide
LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) Guide. Learn all about the compiler infrastructure, which is designed for compile-time, link-time, run-time, and "idle-time" optimization of programs. Originally implemented for C/C++ , though, has a variety of front-ends, including Java, Python, etc.

> If it has less than 64 kB of memory how is it going to run a WASM runtime anyway?
There is WARDuino (https://github.com/TOPLLab/WARDuino and https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3357390.3361029).
A runtime that accepts Wasm modules that use a large fraction of the functionality, there is going to be a RAM requirement in the few KiB to few tens of KiB. There seems to be a branch or fork of Wasm3 for Arduino (https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3-arduino).
If you are willing to do, e.g. Wasm -> AVR AOT compilation, then the runtime can be quite small. That basically implies that compilation does not happen on device, but at deployment time.
