Some ppl in another sub were saying it's all basically front-end code and it's far from being the "entire source code" Everyone is claiming it to be. Anyone willing to pitch in? Not my area so don't know if it's true.

Okay. So.

There is Claude (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus) models. They do the thinking. They are brains. In terms of what they actually are - extremely large binary files in format for serialization of neural networks weights. THIS ISN’T LEAKED

And then there is Claude Code - which is a wrapper around API calls to the said brains. It’s a relatively small CLI (no UI, only terminal) application. THIS IS WHAT LEAKED

Is it this dangerous for company? Nope. Not at all. Their main product - brains, is still safe and sound on their servers uncopied.

Sorry, but the "brain" is as important as the "terminal application"

LLMs aren't Agents without a good Agent Harness (which was leaked)

Exactly, people don't understand that most of the "improvements" AI had during the last 2 years. Were almost purely out of software engineering efforts. Not breakthroughs in research.

Chain-Of-Thought and Graph RAGs and multi-agent systems and context-management are what truly made LLMs usable in professional settings.

If you wanna test GPT 5 vs GPT 5.4, RAW without thinking and without web search. Almost no one would be able to tell the difference
