Linus Torvalds publishes in his Linux kernel repository an experimental branch of 8 patches tagged “Assisted-by: LLM”: “The code, the test programs, the review behind the list above and the first draft of this text were done with an LLM coding assistant (Claude Code) under my direction”; on his laptop, reading one file from 8 threads became four times cheaper — 725 cycles per read instead of about 2,950; he lists 10 known problems himself, and the branch is not merged into mainline
