maybe it’s helpful here to mention some more examples of ML-generated code we’ve seen in the nix ecosystem so far:
- nixcon 2025 talk ‘Applying Graph2Diff neural repair to build errors in nixpkgs’ by Mutsuha Asada on generating fixes for build failures
- planet nix 2026 talk by Anthropic employee Bernardo Meurer Costa introducing (as per the talk Claude-written) distributed nix build queue
rio-build: The Missing Part of Nix (and where to find it) - Nfx - An Algebraic Effects System with Handlers in Nix (‘vibecoded’)
- Diffing NixOS configurations at the config-level (blog post: ‘the patch was partly generated by Claude’)
