"An LLM-generated SQLite reimplementation contained approximately 576,000 lines of Rust code across 625 files."

Hōrōshi's March 2026 investigation counted approximately 576,000 lines of Rust code across 625 source files in the generated database reimplementation. The scale of the implementation is central to the case study because extensive code volume and apparently complete architecture did not guarantee satisfactory database behavior.
