Finnish-American programmer Linus Torvalds, who pioneered the development of the Linux kernel, used artificial intelligence programming for his hobby project.
Over the winter holidays, Linus Torvalds has been working on a new open-source project called AudioNoise, which is designed for random digital audio effects. Or, as the Linux creator calls it, «another stupid repository related to guitar pedals.»
«Also note that the Python visualization tool was largely written using vibecoding,» Torvalds said.
According to him, at first he programmed using the usual «google and do as you see» method, but then he decided to use Google Antigravity to visualize audio recordings.
It is an AI-based integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Google and designed to prioritize the use of the AI agent platform for software development. It allows developers to delegate complex programming tasks to autonomous AI agents, which are powered primarily by Google’s Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Deep Think, and Gemini 3 Flash models.
