Lol, Claude Code genuinely is the best coding assistant as a product regardless of underlying model

Claude's contribution is 2 commits adding 4500 lines and removing 0. I don't think people understand what this repo even is. Claude's contribution is not significant any way you slice it. Go look at the other users who are committers. There are giant logfiles. Other committers are +28,000 LOC on 2 commits. Here's an example commit from another user: https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/commit/985568880b60...

Claude code is impressively good. Some of the other models and harnesses get close, but it's a noticeable regression when I hit a limit and move to kilocode with gpt-oss:120b running locally.

Codex usually dont add itself as contributor so this is misleading .

* Having Claude add itself as co-author is a pretty smart marketing move. * I have more respect for organizations that are willing to use competitor tools where necessary. They should definitely be modifying Codex's commit messages to be similar.

They’re running an open competition. They merge user-contributed submissions into the repo. Claude was attributed for 2 of them. This is a huge nothingburger.

This feels like one of those stories that spreads because it’s too good not to. People see that Claude is a top contributor in OpenAI related repo and jump to conclusions about what it means Same with the Ballmer/Mac story. It sort of happened, but not really how people tell it. The Mac was there, but he wasn’t actually using it the way the story implies. https://www.engadget.com/2008-04-30-steve-ballmer-uses-a-mac...
