From 816d9992d9ed434ec52cfbd63080d518e535a41b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 17:54:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] coding-assistants: simplify attribution The requirement to identify specific models used in the Assisted-by tag provides free advertising to proprietary software companies while adding little or no useful information. Change the requirement to simply: Assisted-by: LLM to capture the fact that an LLM was used without tracking which one.
