Subj : [$] On the use of LLM assistants for kernel development To : All From : LWN.net Date : Fri Aug 08 2025 06:40:08 By some appearances, at least, the kernel community has been relatively insulated from the onslaught of AI-driven software-development tools. There has not been a flood of vibe-coded memory-management patches - yet. But kernel development is, in the end, software development, and these tools threaten to change many aspects of how software development is done. In a world where companies are actively pushing their developers to use these tools, it is not surprising that the topic is increasingly prominent in kernel circles as well. There are currently a number of ongoing discussions about how tools based on large language models (LLMs) fit into the kernel-development community. https://lwn.net/Articles/1032612/ --- SBBSecho 3.29-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
