# A Debian general resolution on LLM usage > Source: > Published: 2026-07-25 23:14:16+00:00 # A Debian general resolution on LLM usage [considering a general resolution](https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002)on the use of large language models in the creation of the distribution. There are three alternatives to consider: a total ban on LLM usage, rejecting LLMs " as far as practical", or explicitly allowing LLM usage subject to a set of conditions. The discussion period has just begun; the beginning of the voting period does not yet appear to have been set. Those who want to look over the discussion ahead of the inevitable LWN article can find it [over here](/ml/all/til24c.3ns3jl2mkmzmn@riseup.net).
