LibreOffice touts 'no AI' while LLM-assisted commits land

The Document Foundation says LibreOffice has no built-in AI and its core developers avoid LLMs, yet three 2026 commits credit Claude and GitHub Copilot. TDF allows community contributors to use AI assistants with disclosure and human review, but bans them for students.

• Two April font-related commits in Writer and Calc credit Claude for fixes
• A September commit adding a Copy Image button used GitHub Copilot in VS Code
• TDF requires contributors to disclose LLM use and reviews patches manually
• LibreOffice 26.8 saw 9.4 million downloads in eight weeks
