On March 31st, 2026, a security researcher found that Anthropic had accidentally shipped the
complete source code of Claude Code - its flagship AI product generating $2.5 billion in
annualized revenue - in a public npm package. A missing configuration entry. A public cloud
storage bucket. Within hours, the code was mirrored across GitHub 41,500 times. A clean-room
rewrite called claw-code became the fastest-growing repository in GitHub's history, crossing
100,000 stars in under 48 hours. Anthropic then accidentally blocked 8,100 legitimate developer
projects while trying to contain the damage. This is a breaking news special episode. Details
are still emerging. We cover what is confirmed, what is unknown, and what it means for the AI
industry.
