“Anthropic PBC is rushing to address the inadvertent release of internal source code behind Claude Code, an AI-powered assistant that has become a key moneymaker for the company. Thousands of copies of the code were removed from GitHub in response to copyright takedown requests from Anthropic, according to a notice on the popular developer platform. Anthropic later said the takedown impacted more GitHub repositories than intended and has since been significantly scaled back. … In a statement Tuesday, Anthropic confirmed the leak and said ‘no sensitive customer data or credentials were involved or exposed.’ The company added: ‘This was a release packaging issue caused by human error, not a security breach.'” (04/01/26)
