    I'm surprised the OpenAI Codex team doesn't donate like 10B tokens or something to the Rust team for performance

      LLM written code is disallowed by the rust project policy

        It doesn&#x27;t seem to be quite that simple?

        LLMs are useful in engineering even if the PRs don&#x27;t include LLM-written code.

        &gt;I’m still writing all my own code and text, because (a) that’s paramount, and (b) the project policy requires it, but I had useful LLM analysis assistance on several of the PRs mentioned in this post.
