Just by opening wikipedia “In computing, source code, or simply code or source, is a plain text computer program written in a programming language.” So what programming language is it?
Is Maxine code “code”? And I don’t mean assembler, I mean the binary stream read by the processor.
I’d say yes. People have programmed it. It’s where the verb “to code” comes from.
These models are no different. They are binary streams that encode a function, a program, into a form that can be interpreted by a machine. Yes, a computer generated the code, but that’s nothing new.
Neural nets are typically written in C; then frameworks abstract on top of that (like Torch, or Tensorflow) providing higher-level APIs to languages like (most commonly) Python, or JavaScript.
There are some other nn implementations in Rust, C++, etc.

Other way around. The NNs are written in, mostly, Python. The frameworks, mainly Pytorch now, handle the heavy-duty math.
