Gregory Kurtzer, the founder of CentOS and Rocky Linux, developed a Rust-based kernel prototype named Ginuxo in just 11 days with the assistance of AI, specifically GPT-5.6 "Sol". This prototype is capable of running unmodified Linux user spaces as a standalone kernel. The AI generated approximately 139,000 lines of code, with the kernel implementing 82 out of 375 Linux syscalls fully, 245 partially, and rejecting 48. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates AI's capability in accelerating complex software development, potentially speeding up OS kernel creation.
