FreeBSD Says No to LLM-Generated Code
2025-09-04

The FreeBSD Project's latest quarterly report reveals a new policy in the works: a ban on code and documentation generated by large language models (LLMs). This aligns with similar stances taken by NetBSD and Gentoo Linux, reflecting concerns about the reliability and security of AI-generated code. The report also details other FreeBSD projects underway, including improvements to Wi-Fi, graphics, sound, and power management; restructuring the OS into pkg packages; and developing a web-based GUI for virtualization. Despite competition from Linux, FreeBSD remains actively developed, continuously improving its features and user experience.
