Came to know about Task specific pruning via this [X/MaximeRivest](https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/1957273076514578781) post. See ([Reda et al. 2025](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.18350))


Pruning might be useful for niche languages. (I am thinking of Nim after reading [this thread earlier](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44931415))
