• Nelson: rust-lang/rust is adopting an LLM policy

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Thu Aug 6 06:40:09 2026
    Jynn Nelson describes
    the Rust language team's new LLM policy on the Inside Rust blog.

    No one except the author is required to read LLM output unless they
    choose to: LLM output isn't allowed in public docs, PR
    descriptions, or Github comments unless it's clearly marked;
    reviewers aren't required to look at LLM PRs if they don't want to.

    No one is required to use LLMs to contribute to rust-lang/rust:
    policies must be written first for humans, and only summarized for
    machines; LLM reviews cannot substitute for human review or
    self-review.

    You are allowed to generate LLM content that only you see, without
    disclosure, as long as you do not post it anywhere that you expect
    us to read or review.
