[00:00] Christopher David: So totally unrelated to anthropic Claude code source code leaking today,

[00:05] Christopher David: totally unrelated to our stated position of fuck anthropic, totally unrelated to our stated MO of rewriting all relevant code bases into Rust,

[00:16] Christopher David: absorbing them into our agent stack here.

[00:21] Christopher David: Totally unrelated to all that,

[00:24] Christopher David: we're launching a new coding agent.

[00:26] Christopher David: the beginning of it you know we're calling it probe so sticking with our starcraft theme we've got nexus we've got pylon we've got psionic and now probe you want to send off probes to like build stuff for you right okay uh coding agent runtime so we love codex here i've got three freaking chat gpt pro accounts that i cycle because codex is so so good um but now that we've got like the ability to run local models super fast um

[00:55] Christopher David: You know, why don't we just build our own coding agent?

[00:58] Christopher David: I really love what OpenCode has done and sort of disintermediating the client from the servers and the runtime.

[01:04] Christopher David: So we're going to kind of borrow some concepts from OpenCode, borrow some code from Codex, both of which are fully and officially open source.

[01:13] Christopher David: We love Codex.

[01:15] Christopher David: We love OpenCode.

[01:17] Christopher David: We hate Claude Code.

[01:18] Christopher David: We hate Anthropic.

[01:21] Christopher David: fuck anthropic okay um you'll see us build this we'll do a few more videos on this um you're welcome to contribute so this is going to be a fully rust basically i kind of want to go for like a fully rust version of open code to start a little bit leaner maybe less on mcp stuff um and it's going to use our stuff and we want to be able to embed it places

[01:47] Christopher David: Have a nice rust code base.

[01:49] Christopher David: Okay.

[01:49] Christopher David: I would love contributions. Please don't send PRs.

[01:53] Christopher David: Please send detailed issues with stuff and systems that you think we should add.

[01:59] Christopher David: Maybe we'll like add a discussion section so we can like debate different trade-offs and stuff.

[02:05] Christopher David: We will code it up using our codex thing. I don't trust your code,

[02:08] Christopher David: but I would like your ideas and feedback and stuff.

[02:11] Christopher David: And then we'll be building this into our autopilot product suite and stuff.

[02:14] Christopher David: Okay, let's have fun with this. See you soon.
