📆 Welcome to 2026 everyone 📆 Following in the trend for many online communities, we are kicking off our announcements with a statement from the core team about the usage of AI and LLMs within the nf-core community! TL;DR: nf-core’s policy remains unchanged. If a pigeon were to commit good code, I would accept it. Humans are still ultimately responsible for their submitted code. We will not ban or restrict the use of AIs or LLMs as they can be useful tools for some people, if used appropriately. See the blog post for the full thing: https://nf-co.re/blog/2026/statement-on-ai Note that of course such a stance is not static, and we will adapt and evolve over time with the feedback from the community, so please feel free to open discussions with the community when you need!
