Linus Torvalds openly using AI in Linux kernel experimental branch

Linus Torvalds is now openly using AI in an experimental branch of the Linux kernel, under the name noref-filemap-read-with-llm. Reports say he uses Claude Code for tests and commit messages, framing it as speeding up monotonous work rather than replacing developers. Related AI news rounds also mention a four-person team that reverse-engineered Adobe technology.

Why now: Torvalds has long been sceptical of AI in kernel development, so his open adoption of AI tooling is a notable shift being discussed.
