Not much impact, Codex is already open source. The real value is in the model itself and the ability to use it with a subscription. Something you can't do legally with a clone of this code.

The only thing I found interesting about this leak is just how much of a rats nest the code base is. Like it actually feels vibe coded without a shred of intelligent architecture behind it.

Regardless, you can't beat the subscription and model access despite the state of the code base, so I still use Claude Code daily and love it.

I just hope it doesn't turn out like n8n. I built a few things, wanted to make changes, looked at the code base, opened the devcontainer, noped out after being mortified by the sheer number of warning and dependency issues, threw away all of my work, uninstalled, didn't think about it again.

Two months later it was CVE after CVE.

Exactly, we should be able to build on top of the tooling agents. They are a dime a dozen similar to the models.

Power(money) lies with NVDA and people who can best harness this power.
