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/985568880b600d337668dc9342c87d0441c4c7e0 https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/commit/985568880b60...

Yeah, that's a great analysis you put together. 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.

  Who are you referring to? Claude? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

    I am happy to make my comment much more accesible. 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! 1: https://x.com/CodeByNZ/status/2036723050197012771 https://x.com/CodeByNZ/status/2036723050197012771

      So you were just mocking the format of my post because it's reminiscent of AI-generated text? What I wrote was perfectly clear and in no way AI-generated.

This repo is for a competition where they accept user-contributed code. 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'm pretty sure they scrubbed the commit history to remove claude. Github caches the top contributors in the main page so even if you rewrite the history they remain. And in this repo you're right that if you go to the history claude's contribution shouldn't get it so high, so it follows that they scrubbed it.

  Nah, it's there in the history, but they're co-authors so I think they may be showing up differently/not at all. If you just hunt the history you can find all of the co-authored entries. I think what I saw was 3-5 distinct users with commits which had a claude co-author on a subset of their commits.

    If it's so little, why does Claude appear so prominently in the contributors section on GitHub?
