SourceHut has updated its terms of service to restrict the use of large language models and generative AI on its platform, following community consultation that showed broad support for the move. The decision was driven by excessive resource consumption from AI-generated projects and rising infrastructure costs caused by LLM web crawlers.
Background
SourceHut is a Git hosting and devops platform similar to GitHub and GitLab, known for its privacy-focused and lightweight approach. Codeberg recently made a similar announcement regarding AI restrictions on its platform.
