The Linux Kernel has since then simplified the mandatory attribution to
just “LLM”:

    The requirement to identify specific models used in the Assisted-by tag
    provides free advertising to proprietary software companies while adding
    little or no useful information.  Change the requirement to simply:

      Assisted-by: LLM

    to capture the fact that an LLM was used without tracking which one.
