Claude's Source Code Got Leaked Across The Whole Internet

Key Takeaways

This spread across GitHub like crazy. Anthropics Claude code was actually leaked onto the internet. I believe this is the original source of the discovery here. But I think the most interesting thing to come out of this leak is actually what we learned from looking at the code and what was actually in the leak. Index does not store data. It stores locations. While raw transcripts are never fully read back into the context, but merely gpped for specific identifiers. Now, Grep is a word that essentially means that it searches. So, as you're talking to Claude Code, it's saving a bunch of information about what you're talking to it about, and then it's saving a reference to all of that within a memory file. And then that memory file is what gets loaded into context. And then it tells the context where to search for the thing that you're talking about. Essentially, I'm sure I'm oversimplifying this, but this is what I'm gathering from this
