Codex CLI vs Claude Code Codex is open source?!

Transcript

So I just realised this and it was pretty shocking, but guess what? Codex is the one that's open sourced while Claude Code this whole time? Well, I always thought both were closed, but just now I found out that Codex is open source and you can actually contribute to it or you can make changes to it and you can also just use it for free as a harness. And even though the model you still have to pay for, but like the harness itself is just available on GitHub. It also has like 100,000 stars on GitHub and I mean this whole time I didn't know. Did you guys know that?
