Sure, something like OLMo. Admittedly fewer users than the big guys but 
it is free software and free training data. So please change the 
proposed wording to:

* Reviewers may request that you add an “Assisted-by” line in your 
commit message if parts of the contribution have been auto-generated. 
For example, “Assisted-by: OLMo 3.1 32B Think and Autoconf 2.73”.
