With the release of Linux 7.4-rc2 on November 8, 2026, Linus Torvalds said that fixes in the eBPF subsystem are now landing faster than AI is generating new bug reports. Linux 7.4-rc1 set a record with approximately 19,671 commits, compared with the usual figure of around 15,000, including 3,008 AI-assisted non-merge commits, or 2.4 times the number recorded in the previous cycle. This surge was partly attributed to improvements in automated bug detection, which surfaced more genuine bugs despite previous criticism of the quality of AI-generated patches. Torvalds views AI as a productivity tool, while human review and approval of changes remain mandatory.
