On 31 March of 2026, Claude source code leaked accidentally
One of the .map file published by mistake from Claude team.
Claude is a large language model (LLM) developed by Anthropic
Anthropic is a company founded by a few of the people who held key positions in OpenAI.
Claude became very popular because of their philosophy, they think that AI should be controllable, interpretable, and safe.
They claim that they have developed a constitutional AI. Claude has made their model by taking care of the things that AI should not be harmful and safe to use.
Since its launch, Claude AI has gained significant funding and trust from companies like Google and Amazon
Google has invested 300 million dollars in 2023, and Amazon came up with a massive 4 billion dollars in funding
Before the code leak incident, the valuation of the Anthropic was 350 Billion Dollars
On 31 March after the source code leak, there were massive excitement in the dev community
Many developers understood the internals of the Claude AI, how it runs commands, how it applies safety, and how it implements their constitutional AI strategy
And Claw-Code Repo was born
But Developers did not copy-paste the code; it would have been a copyright violation
Developers started rewriting the AI in Rust language, and within 24 hours, the initial version of Claw-Code was up in the github.
Since then, it has gotten 300k plus stars and has become one of the fastest-growing repositories in history
It has more than 500 active contributors
But few points we need to take care of, that Claw-Code is still not a stable product and not so beginner-friendly
