Linus Torvalds Working On A Hefty Linux Kernel Improvement With Claude Code
A new branch named "noref-filemap-read-with-llm" contains kernel improvements he's been working on with the help of AI / LLMs, Claude Code specifically
"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. The measurements were run on my machine."

@atoponce@fosstodon.org I truly rather want the current kernel even if it's not as fast, as long as it is free of slop

@atoponce@fosstodon.org If it is a separate branch, then I want the option to exclude all slop code to build the kernel.
