Anthropic’s Claude Code Leak Revealed Unreleased Features

Anthropic PBC’s accidental release of source code for its popular AI coding agent was the result of “process errors” related to the startup’s fast product release cycle, according to a senior executive at the company.

Paul Smith, Anthropic’s chief commercial officer, said the leak was “absolutely not breaches or hacks,” and the mistakes have been addressed. “They’re part of the incredibly rapid release cycle that we’ve had around Claude Code,” Smith said in an interview Wednesday.
