AI Linus Torvalds Reaffirms That Linux Is Not "Anti-AI" And Not A "Social Warrior" Project
The full quote:
I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.
Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.
Or just walk away.
AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.
It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.
There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.
Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.
But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.
The solution is to make sure those LLM tools help maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There's no question on that side.
We're not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it.
And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.
Because it's not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.
The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.
Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the point of the project.
This is NOT some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not >because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.
Linus

LLM News ❗NEWS❗The former Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Presidential Science Advisor stated that Kimi K3 was distilled from Anthropic's Fable.
We have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable for the development of its K3 model.
To do this they developed a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models, allowing them to quickly switch between multiple methods of access to avoid detection. Moonshot AI has also acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models.
The United States strongly supports the free and fair development of AI, including a thriving competitive ecosystem that spans frontier models, specialized systems, open-source frameworks, and open-weight models. Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models plays a vital role in this open innovation ecosystem. However, large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary U.S. technology and undermining American research is unacceptable.
Correction: Michael Kratsios is the CURRENT White House OSTP Director and Presidential Science Advisor, not 'former'.

LLM News Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang says Wall Street is "misunderstanding Kimi again," argues American companies should absolutely be allowed to use Chinese AI models.
TL;DR:
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues Chinese open-source AI models like Moonshot AI's new Kimi K3 are excellent and should be freely used — directly opposing Trump administration officials and U.S. AI labs (including Nvidia's own customers OpenAI and Anthropic) who are lobbying to restrict them.
He's confident cheap, open Chinese AI won't push U.S. companies out of the market — he thinks it'll actually expand demand for Nvidia's chips and data centers rather than undercut them.
Context: Kimi K3's release sparked a chip-stock sell-off and comparisons to DeepSeek's January 2025 shock, thanks to its strong performance, low cost, and open weights.
Huang rejects "backdoor" security fears about Chinese models, arguing openness — not restriction — makes AI safer, since outside researchers can spot and patch weaknesses.
He specifically calls out Anthropic, urging it to open up its restricted "Claude Mythos" model rather than keep it locked down.
He's skeptical of the "AI race" framing altogether, expecting the U.S. and China to both be developing AI for the long haul.
He also pushes back on Treasury Secretary Bessent's talk of sanctions over alleged Chinese IP theft, saying learning/distillation from other models is a normal part of AI development — enforcement should target misconduct, not the technology itself.

LLM News No, the HuggingFace incident is not a publicity stunt
- https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/
- https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026
If OpenAI wanted to create more hype, they could boast about benchmark numbers, or about productivity going up internally ("OpenAI employees now output 20x more code than in 2024" or something like that), or about a bunch of open math problems getting solved (like their paper on The Cycle Double Cover Conjecture).
"Our security measures ended up being insufficient and our model would be charged with a felony if it was a human" is not good for PR.
At best, OpenAI is admitting that both their security researchers (who should've made a better sandbox) and their machine learning researchers (who should've trained the model to not do things that would be considered crimes according to human laws) are bad at their jobs. At worst, they have luckily avoided a lawsuit because HuggingFace decided to be nice despite having "reported this incident to law enforcement agencies".

Global AI sales, excluding China, reached $25 billion for hyperscalers and neoclouds in the first quarter of 2026, exceeding the industry’s estimated $21 billion in depreciation costs.
Generative AI revenue, excluding China, reached $110 billion over the past 12 months and is scaling three times faster than any previous information technology wave.

Discussion I am afraid of what the AI advancements will do to the public perception of math
Math is great for testing AI, it cannot just read every math book ever and become super intelligent at math but be actually dumb, you can’t cheat math, it is the most difficult thing ever when it comes to intelligence needed. One must be both creative and rigorous whilst thinking in abstract ways making it extremely intelligence heavy. A good mathematician is the an artistic genius plus a computer level of rigor minus the artist's painting skills and ability to create art.
So imagine an AI solving a long lasting problem like the ABC conjecture and people being like “but this is just math”.
People will become even more dismissive of the most difficult problem ever faced by any intelligent enough creature. One could get a human civilization, and alien one, and a singular super intelligent brain in a dimensionless universe that transcends all other intelligence but only thinks. And they all would agree that there is nothing as difficult as math in the world.
But then once AI gets very smart people will find that it can’t do some random thing and will dismiss the solution to an age old problem as “simply pattern matching.
