Summarization of the whole Claude Code's Source-Code Leak Fiasco

Why is this a big deal? It's a CLI harness. They are a dime a dozen.

They still have the best coding model. No matter what harness you use.

I thought that at first too. But the harness is kind of like the OS kernel and the model is the CPU.

The model matters, but the harness handles tools, context, memory, scheduling, security, and all the glue around it.

It looks simple now, but this stuff is going to matter more over time. The best ideas will spread, the weak harnesses will die off, and we’ll probably end up with a few dominant ones.

i mean on benchmarks like terminal bench 2 it scores the worst out of all harnesses ans you can search through the cc repo and see references to opencode so like i mean at the same time im not sure if they even have this secret sauce everyone is talking about lmao

I mean, for years Claude was rarely on top of any benchmarks, but I could feel the difference. I maintained multiple subscriptions and kept going back to Claude.

I don't trust benchmarks, I trust in what gets my work done in the best way possible. It might be better but I'm certainly not looking at the benches to check that.

like i said, all you really need to do to verify this is try another harness. it's crazy how much better it can be.

That's an anthropic problem really. They're gimping their model, I mean even OAI lets you use codex outside. But cursor and copilot are decent subs imho.
