\"AI\"
\nIn addition to Linus Torvalds’ recent comments around AI tooling documentation<\/a>, it turns out in fact that Linus Torvalds has been using vibe coding himself. Over the holidays Linus Torvalds has been working on a new open-source project called AudioNoise that was started with the help of AI vibe coding.<\/p>\n

Over the winter holidays, Linus Torvalds routinely works on new hobbies and the like. Last year he started creating his own guitar pedals as a hobby. Or as he put it back in the Linux 6.13-rc7 announcement, “LEGO for grown-ups with a soldering iron.” \n<\/p>\n

Recently Linus Torvalds started creating AudioNoise as a GPLv2-licensed project for random digital audio effects. Linus calles it “another silly guitar-pedal-related repo.”
\n<\/p>\n

\"AudioNoise\"\/<\/p>\n

The code for AudioNoise is available via torvalds\/AudioNoise on GitHub<\/a> but what’s interesting about it is some comments from the README that were pointed out by a Phoronix reader:
\n
“Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters — and that’s not saying much — than I do about python. It started out as my typical “google and do the monkey-see-monkey-do” kind of programming, but then I cut out the middle-man — me — and just used Google Antigravity to do the audio sample visualizer.”
\n
So it turns out that even in 2026, Linus Torvalds is doing some vibe coding with Google’s Antigravity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In addition to Linus Torvalds’ recent comments around AI tooling documentation, it turns out in fact that Linus…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[7278,7277,7275,7274,7281,7279,7276,7280,7273,7284,74,7282,7283],"class_list":{"0":"post-401119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-desktop-linux","9":"tag-linux-benchmarking","10":"tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","11":"tag-linux-hardware-reviews","12":"tag-linux-how-to","13":"tag-linux-performance","14":"tag-linux-server-benchmarks","15":"tag-open-source-graphics","16":"tag-phoronix","17":"tag-phoronix-test-suite","18":"tag-technology","19":"tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","20":"tag-ubuntu-hardware"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
