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...
This is a company aiming for a trillion dollar public valuation, mostly built brand on and hype.
This tweet has been seen 100k times so far, plus it reached the front page of HN.
One would think they would be much more careful with their brand.
Yeah, that's a great analysis you (@devin) put together.
This is a company (OpenAI) aiming for a trillion dollar public valuation, mostly built on brand and hype.
This tweet (the one linked in the submission, also adding it here [1]) has been seen 100k times so far, plus it reached the front page of HN (Hacker News).
One (indefinite pronoun to refer to a generic subject) would think they (OpenAI) would be much more careful with their brand.
If there's anything else you might think needs clarification, let me know and I'll be glad to help!
Everyone reading the Tweet or headline has incorrectly assumed that OpenAI employees were using Claude.
This is a perfect example of why you should always read past the headline or tweet at least a little bit.
* 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.
This repo is for an open competition. They accept PR submissions. The Claude submissions presumably didn’t come from OpenAI employees.
This is a huge nothingburger.
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.
