The first release candidate for Linux kernel 7.0 has been made available, incorporating various enhancements. This version includes improvements for Microsoft Hyper-V, support for AMD Zen 6 performance monitoring, and preparations for Intel Diamond Rapids processors.

The Linux kernel project has officially documented its policy on AI-assisted code contributions with the release of Linux 7.0. The guidelines require human accountability, disclosure of AI tool use, and a new 'Assisted-by' tag for patches involving AI. Sasha Levin formalized the consensus reached at the 2025 Maintainers Summit.
