Autokernel
softwareAn LLM-assisted minimal Linux kernel builder that probes a host, proposes bounded Kconfig changes, builds packages, and boot-tests the result
Autokernel builds a smaller, host-specific Linux kernel while keeping deterministic system evidence and model judgment separate. It probes real hardware, asks an LLM only about bounded typed decisions, writes a reviewable Kconfig fragment, builds distro-native packages, and can gate installation on a virtual-machine boot test.
The workflow is dry-run first and includes a one-shot GRUB probation path. A measured Meteor Lake example reduced the compressed module tree from 6,906 files to 737 and its staged module size from 153.69 MiB to 25.00 MiB. Those measurements describe one host rather than a universal outcome.
