LLM4Decompile

Research AI models that turn compiled programs back into readable source code.

Research-backedNew this week

What it does

When software is built, its human-readable code is turned into machine code. Decompiling tries to reverse this. LLM4Decompile is a family of AI models trained to do that for Linux programs, producing C code.

Some versions work straight from the machine code; others improve the rough output of an existing tool called Ghidra. The models come in several sizes and are shared on Hugging Face.

The project also publishes test sets and training data so others can measure and build on the results.

Who it's for

Researchers and engineers working on reverse engineering and program analysis.
