Linux creator Torvalds leveraged AI tools to clarify code patches and identify additional long-standing bugs in the kernel this weekend.

Linus Torvalds attributes a slight delay in the Linux 7.3-rc7 release candidate to a travel mix-up. The update includes core networking and VFS fixes.

The Linux creator is employing Anthropic’s coding assistant for a significant kernel enhancement, expanding his documented use of artificial intelligence tools.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds says AI aids his workflow for specific tasks like finding bugs, but insists it is unsuitable for core kernel development.
