"AI is coming to the Linux kernel in the form of a code review system - not code submissions.

Announced on LinkedIn by Roman Gushchin, a Linux kernel engineer at Google, Sashiko is a tool written in Rust for spotting bugs and screening code.

Gushchin said: "In my measurement, Sashiko was able to find 53 percent of bugs based on a completely unfiltered set of 1,000 recent upstream issues based on 'Fixes:' tags (using Gemini 3.1 Pro). Some might say that 53 percent is not that impressive, but 100 percent of these issues were missed by human reviewers.""
