Linus Torvalds experiments with AI-powered vibe coding on AudioNoise
Linus Torvalds has quietly explored vibe coding by using Google's Antigravity AI to generate a Python-based audio visualizer for AudioNoise, a personal project built around his C code for digital audio effects. The effort grew from his GuitarPedal hardware experiments, and he notes the AI wrote the visualizer with minimal manual input, illustrating how AI tools are aiding coders on low-stakes tasks and signaling AI’s growing presence in the Linux ecosystem.
