Anthropic Code Leak Triggers Takedown Of 8,100 GitHub Repositories

Incident Overview

Anthropic issued a takedown request that led to the temporary removal of thousands of GitHub repositories after a code exposure involving its Claude Code tool. The issue occurred during an attempt to remove unintended access to source code.

Code Leak And Takedown Notice

The incident began when a developer identified that a release included access to parts of the source code of Anthropic’s Claude Code command-line application. According to TechCrunch, users examined the code following its exposure. Anthropic responded by issuing a takedown notice under U.S. copyright law to limit further distribution.

Widespread Impact On GitHub

The takedown request affected around 8,100 repositories, according to GitHub. Affected repositories included forks of Anthropic’s public Claude Code project. Users on social platforms reported that some repositories not directly linked to the exposed code were also impacted.

Swift Correction And Corporate Implications

Boris Cherny, Head of Claude Code at Anthropic, said the takedown notice was issued in error and extended to more repositories than intended. According to Anthropic, most notices were withdrawn, with enforcement limited to one repository and 96 forks containing the exposed source code. Company representatives explained that the initial request applied to a broader fork network linked to its public Claude Code repository, which expanded the scope of removals. Following the revision, GitHub restored access to the affected repositories.

Reputation And Future Outlook

Increased scrutiny may follow regarding Anthropic’s internal processes for code management and compliance. As the company expands its AI products and infrastructure, handling of proprietary code and disclosure controls remains relevant for both investors and regulators.

Conclusion

Operational risks related to code distribution and enforcement actions are highlighted by this case. Companies developing AI systems continue to manage exposure risks and platform-level enforcement across large repository networks.

OpenAI Brings Unlimited Text Chats To Free ChatGPT Users

Unlimited Text Conversations Roll Out

OpenAI is removing limits on text-based conversations for all ChatGPT users, following the platform’s recent milestone of surpassing one billion weekly users.

The update introduces GPT-5.6 Luna as the default model for Free and Go users, replacing GPT-5.5.

New “Think” Button For More Complex Questions

Alongside unlimited text chats, Free and Go users will gain access to a new “Think” button, allowing them to use additional reasoning power for more complex queries.

OpenAI noted that separate usage limits will continue to apply to file uploads, image generation, voice features and other multimodal tools.

Faster Responses For Paid Subscribers

The update also brings improvements for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers. They will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol, an upgraded model designed for everyday tasks such as web research, planning, writing, decision-making and answering questions. According to OpenAI, the model delivers shorter, more robust responses.

The company noted that this version is separate from the GPT-5.6 Sol model used in Codex and Work, which remains unchanged. Plus and Pro subscribers will also receive a new thinking slider, allowing them to adjust how much reasoning the model applies before generating an answer, depending on the complexity of the task.

OpenAI Reports Fewer Errors

According to OpenAI’s internal testing, GPT-5.6 Luna produces 62% fewer factual errors than GPT-5.5 Instant, while GPT-5.6 Sol reduces factual errors by 68%.

The updated GPT-5.6 Sol model is available to Plus and Pro users starting today. The remaining features for Free and Go users will roll out throughout the week, with unlimited text chats and the new Think button becoming available next week.
