The proposed policy would allow AI-assisted contributions to be made to this open-source compiler codebase but that there would need to be a &#8220;human in the loop&#8221; and the contributor versed enough to be able to answer questions during code review. Separately, yesterday a proposal was sent out for creating an AI-assisted fixer bot to help with Bazel build system breakage.<\/p>\n<p>Last week&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.llvm.org\/t\/rfc-llvm-ai-tool-policy-human-in-the-loop\/89159\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LLVM AI tool policy<\/a> was brought up for discussion. AI-assisted contributions would be welcome as long as there is a human in the loop that understands the code and competent enough for answering any questions during the code review. Contributors should also be transparent if there are &#8220;substantial amounts&#8221; of tool-generated content. <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/llvm\/llvm-project\/pull\/154441\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This pull request<\/a> in turn is open on GitHub for adding their AI contribution policy to the LLVM documentation. That LLVM Ai tool policy remains under discussion.&#13;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766528772_345_image\" alt=\"LLVM AI fun\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Separately, raised yesterday for request for comments was a <a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.llvm.org\/t\/rfc-ai-assisted-bazel-fixer-bot\/89178\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">proposal<\/a> by Google compiler engineer Pranav Kant for creating an AI-assisted Bazel fixer bot. This AI bot would automatically create AI-generated pull requests for fixing broken LLVM builds when using the Bazel build system. Google is a big user of the Bazel build system but LLVM contributors are not required to update their changes around Bazel builds. Thus Google compiler engineers would like an experimental AI-assisted bot for helping to maintain their Bazel build support in LLVM.<\/p>\n<p>The original proposal there calls for this AI bot to create the pull requests with fixes, but some have taken some objection to that part. Some would prefer a human to at least evaluate the proposed changes first rather than the bot creating the PRs straight-away and creating a bigger burden on LLVM developers to review that code straight from a bot.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile GNU toolchain developers have also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/GCC-To-Consider-LLM-Patches\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">considering an AI\/LLM policy for the GCC compiler<\/a> too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week a request for comments (RFC) was issued around establishing an LLVM AI Tool Use Policy.
