The Document Foundation (TDF) 表示，LibreOffice 没有内置 AI 功能，且其核心开发者不使用大语言模型 (LLM) —— 但社区贡献者面临的规则不同。在 Fediverse 上的一条帖子中，一位使用 argv[-1] 这一账号的用户指出了今年三个承认使用 LLM 编码助手的 LibreOffice 提交记录。其中两个 —— “Inheritance when setting paragraph style font size to 100% or +0pt”（将段落样式字体大小设为 100% 或 +0pt 时的继承）和 “Enable relative font sizes in Calc cell styles”（在 Calc 单元格样式中启用相对字体大小） —— 发生在 4 月，并致谢 Claude 帮助定位修复方案。
The Document Foundation (TDF) says LibreOffice has no built-in AI features and that its core developers do not use LLMs - but community contributors face different rules. In a Fediverse post, someone who goes by the handle of argv[-1] highlights three LibreOffice commits this year that acknowledge the use of LLM coding assistants. Two of them – Inheritance when setting paragraph style font size to 100% or +0pt and Enable relative font sizes in Calc cell styles – date from April and credit Claude with helping identify the fixes.
最近的一个是 9 月的 “Add Copy Image button to screenshot dialog”（在截图对话框中添加复制图像按钮），承认在 VS Code 中使用 GitHub Copilot 生成了 BitmapTransferable 类，而 copyButtonHandler 方法则是在 LLM/代码补全辅助下手工编写的。这几乎算不上致命缺陷 —— 毕竟，如今要找一个完全没有 LLM 生成代码的主要自由开源软件 (FOSS) 项目已很难。
More recently, September's Add Copy Image button to screenshot dialog acknowledges using GitHub Copilot in VS Code to generate the BitmapTransferable class, while the copyButtonHandler method was written manually with LLM/code-completion assistance. This is hardly a fatal flaw – after all, it's getting hard to find any major FOSS project with absolutely no LLM-generated code in it these days.
然而，The Document Foundation 宣称这款领先的 FOSS 办公套件是无 AI 的。正如我们在 8 月它发布 26.8 版时所指出的，我们将这一声明解读为对其前开发合作伙伴 Collabora 的讽刺。早在 6 月，我们曾注意到，增加 AI 集成是 Collabora CODE 26.04 的一大亮点功能。CODE 是基于 LibreOffice 代码构建的 Collabora 网页版办公套件。
However, The Document Foundation says that the leading FOSS office suite is AI-free. As we noted when it released version 26.8 in August, we interpret this statement as a jab at its former development partner Collabora. Back in June, we noted that increased AI integration was a headline feature in Collabora CODE 26.04. CODE is Collabora's web-based office suite, based on LibreOffice code.
自 2010 年从甲骨文控制的 OpenOffice.org 分叉以来，TDF —— LibreOffice 的主要维护者和管理者 —— 已将“无内置 AI”作为一个卖点。9 月，它发布博客文章宣称“无 AI 现已成为一项功能”。与此同时，10 月 21 日，TDF 宣布八周内下载量达 940 万次 —— 不包括 Windows 更新和旧版本下载，后者单独统计。该基金会承认，增长原因难以确定。
TDF – the primary maintainer and custodian of LibreOffice since its 2010 fork from Oracle-controlled OpenOffice.org – has made the absence of built-in AI a selling point. In September, it published a blog post declaring that no AI is now a feature. Meanwhile, on October 21, TDF announced 9.4 million downloads over eight weeks – excluding Windows updates and downloads of older releases, which are counted separately. The foundation acknowledged that the reasons for the growth are difficult to determine.
TDF 在 Mastodon 上的直接回应带有轻蔑意味：“啊，又一场高质量的 Mastodon 讨论。再重申一次：核心开发者不使用 LLM。”
TDF's direct response on Mastodon is dismissive: "Ah, another high-quality Mastodon discussion.
我们依赖更广泛社区的贡献，并未明确列出人们不得使用的工具——但我们确实要求人们在使用大语言模型（LLM）时进行披露，并总体上不鼓励这种做法。我们会仔细审查贡献者的提交，以确保代码质量良好，且补丁作者理解自己的代码。大语言模型禁止学生使用。这并非‘垃圾内容’。”换言之，文档基金会（TDF）的做法类似于一些评论者所对比的 Debian 方式：允许部分贡献者使用大语言模型编码助手，但须满足披露和人工审查的条件。
Again: No core developers use LLMs. We rely on contributions from the wider community and don't explicitly list tools people can't use – but we do require people disclose when they use LLMs and generally discourage the practice. We carefully review submissions by contributors to make sure the code quality is good and that the patch author understands their own code. LLMs are prohibited for students. That is not 'slop'."
对 AI 支持者而言，这是唯一务实的回应——可概括为“AI 只是工具”这一派观点。然而，既然这一表态似乎与非常显眼的公开“禁 AI”信息相矛盾，一些 LibreOffice 用户颇为不满。我们最喜欢的一条评论来自阿根廷开发者 Federico Schonborn，他讽刺地指出：“当一家面包店宣称他们不会在蛋糕糖霜里放石棉时，你千万别指出他们已经在蛋糕夹心里放石棉了，懂吗。”
In other words, TDF's approach resembles what some commenters have compared to the Debian approach: LLM coding assistants are permitted for some contributors, subject to disclosure and human review. For AI advocates, this is the only pragmatic response – which could be summarized as the "AI is just a tool" school of thought. However, since this admission does seem to contradict the very visible public no-AI message, some LibreOffice users are really rather unhappy.
我们向 TDF 发言人 Italo Vignoli 请求置评。他指引我们参阅 TDF 的“开发/AI 政策”，并补充道：“这与关于 LO 26.8 的公开声明并无背离，因为那些声明针对的是用户功能，而非开发工作。”正如“Skjeggtroll”简练所言：“禁止在提交信息中完全使用大语言模型，却仍允许在实际代码中使用，这在我看来颇为古怪。” ®
Our favorite comment so far is from Argentinian developer Federico Schonborn, who slyly noted: "When a bakery announces they won't put asbestos in their cake frosting you must not point out they're already putting asbestos in their cake filling, you see." We asked TDF’s spokesman Italo Vignoli for comment. He pointed us to TDF's Development/AI policy, and added: "There isn't any departure from the public statements about LO 26.8, as they were about user features and not about development." As "Skjeggtroll" succinctly put it: "It strikes me as odd to ban all use of LLM for the commit message, but still allow its use for the actual code." ®
