UI-wise this looks a lot closer to Codex than Claude Code. It's basically an exact copy of Codex.


I would very much agree. Even the hand icon, the usage in the text field, and the sidebar style are 1:1 identical to Codex. It's a misleading title - it's not close the Claude Code.


Which makes keeping Codex closed source look even sillier. Software is no longer anyone's moat. Just let it go.
