I ran my non-neural assistant against small LLMs and it lost badly. Here's the honest table.

CAEL is a chat assistant I've been building whose core is an integer cellular automaton plus a set of symbolic engines — maths, a Python checker, memory. There is no neural network anywhere: no weight

How far can an AI assistant get with no neural network? Testing CAEL 0.3.7 against Qwen3 and Qwen3.5

CAEL is an experiment I've been running for a few weeks: a chat assistant with no neural network, no transformer and no embeddings. Its core is an integer cellular automaton. Around it sit symbolic en
