Well, it seems a lot of major distributions include AI tooling. Arch included 😉

As long as they are opt-in as in packages that can be installed optionally that’s fine. The day a distro has AI tooling embedded, then I can actively opt-out from the distro.
I look forward to a free/libre os that is ai centric. were the ai is setup to just handle things about the os itself and interfacing with the user. then have domain ai’s you can activate sorta like the chatgpt model where the main one can talk to the specialist ones. should be totally configurable on if they can do searches or such.
Not to mention people can fork said distro and remove the AI tooling themselves.
Such is the beauty of open source.
Not to mention that almost all model development is done on Linux as I have understood it, so there will definitely exist packages for those that want them.

Well, is the default package repository good enough as a reference?
Just a couple of examples.

Well, they aren’t AUR, but vetted packages. The only difference I see from what Fedora or Ubuntu does is not do any marketing. All of them have AI tooling opt-in so far.
Running Arch without any packages in the standard repo would be a pretty special experience.
