Really surprising how many people are downplaying this leak! "Google and OpenAi have already open sourced their Agents, so this leak isn't that relevant " What Google and OpenAi have open sourced is their Agents SDK, a toolkit, not the secret sauce of how their flagship agents are wired under the hood! expect the takedown hammer on the tweet, the R2 link, and any public repos soon

It's exactly the same as the open source codex/gemini and other clis like opencode. There is no secret sauce in the claude cli, and the agent harness itself is no better (worse IMO) than the others. The only thing interesting about this leak is that it may contain unreleased features/flags that are not public yet and hint at what Anthropic is working on.

Would be interesting to run this through Malus [1] or literally just Claude Code and get open source Claude Code out of it. I jest, but in a world where these models have been trained on gigatons of open source I don't even see the moral problem. IANAL, don't actually do this. https://malus.sh/

What are they worried about? Someone taking the company's job? Hehe

I think that you do not need to feel uneasy at all. It is your computer and your memory space that the data is stored and operating in you can do whatever you like to the bits in that space. I would encourage you to continue that experiment.

Well, the thing is, I do not just use my computer, but connect to their computers and I do not like to get banned. I suppose simple UI things like expanding source files won't change a thing, but the more interesting things, editing the context etc. do have that risk, but no idea if they look for it or enforce it. Their side is, if I want to have full control, I need to use the API directly(way more expensive) and wh…

It doesn't matter what defence you can think of, if they want to ban you, they'll ban you.

They won't even read your defence.

The big loss for Anthropic here is how it reveals their product roadmap via feature flags. A big one is their unreleased "assistant mode" with code name kairos. Just point your agent at this codebase and ask it to find things and you'll find a whole treasure trove of info. Edit: some other interesting unreleased/hidden features - The Buddy System: Tamagotchi-style companion creature system with ASCII art sprites - Un…

(spoiler alert) Buddy system is this year's April Fool's joke, you roll your own gacha pet that you get to keep. There are legendary pulls. They expect it to go viral on Twitter so they are staggering the reveals.

lol that's funny, I have been working seriously [1] on a feature like this after first writing about it jokingly [2] earlier this year.

The joke was the assistant is a cat who is constantly sabotaging you, and you have to take care of it like a gacha pet.

The seriousness though is that actually, disembodied intelligences are weird, so giving them a face and a body and emotions is a natural thing, and we already see that with various AI mascots and characters coming into existence.

Was searching for the rumored Mythos/Capybara release, and what even is this file? https://github.com/chatgptprojects/claude-code/blob/642c7f94...

Also saw this on twitter earlier, thought someone was just making a fake hype post thing. But turns out to be an actual prompt for capybara huh: https://github.com/chatgptprojects/claude-code/blob/642c7f94...

One tengentially interesting thing about that is how THEY talk to Claude.

"Don't blow your cover"

Interesting to see them be so informal and use an idiom to a computer.

And using capitals for emphasis.

The problem is the oauth and their stance on bypassing that. You'd want to use your subscription, and they probably can detect that and ban users. They hold all the power there.

You'd be playing cat and mouse like yt-dlp, but there's probably more value to this code than just a temporary way to milk claude subscriptions.

If you're using a claude subscription you'd just use claude code.

The real value here will be in using other cheap models with the cc harness.

They can't. AI generated code cannot be copyrighted. They've stated that claude code is built with claude code. You can take this and start your own claude code project now if you like. There's zero copyright protection on this.

I'm sure it's not _entirely_ built that way, and in practically speaking GitHub will almost certainly take it down rather than doing some kind of deep research about which code is which.

That's fine. File a false claim DMCA and that's felony perjury :) They know for a fact that there is no copyright on AI generated code, the courts have affirmed this repeatedly.

Because they want it to be executed quickly and cheaply without blocking the workflow? Doesn’t seem very weird to me at all.

They probably have statistics on it and saw that certain phrases happen over and over so why waste compute on inference.

The problem with regex is multi-language support and how big the regex will bloat if you to support even 10 languages.
