The Darling project for Linux is officially embracing AI-assisted coding to overcome long-standing contributor shortages, welcoming AI-generated contributions under strict clean-room rules and personal developer accountability while targeting ARM64 support.
The contribution of artificial intelligence
In recent years, several AI-powered Darling variants have emerged. One of them managed to run the game League of Legends, while another, known as VibeDarling, ran Mac applications properly. In light of these results, the main Darling project announced that it is now officially accepting AI-powered contributions.
Developers remain personally responsible for every line of code they submit and must be able to explain their changes without outside help. At the same time, the rules strictly require clean room practices, without the use of leaks from Apple's source code.
New support and next steps
Darling has gained initial support for the ARM64 architecture, which is used in modern Mac computers. The VibeDarling variant is already working on the same architecture with a view to integration into the main project.

The plan for the next two months is to incorporate improvements from the variants into the main project, using smart tools to detect and fix bugs. The project aims to officially support three architectures: i386, x86-64, and ARM64. Additionally, Doležel is experimenting with Dynarmic to run ARM64 Mac applications on x86-64 Linux computers, although this feature is still experimental.
