The competition between Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex CLI, both AI-powered coding tools, reveals a preference among developers for the latter. This is largely attributed to Anthropic's restrictive usage license and takedown notices issued to developers attempting to reverse-engineer Claude Code, contrasting with Codex CLI's open-source Apache 2.0 license.

OpenAI has been more receptive to developer suggestions, incorporating them into Codex CLI's codebase, even allowing integration with AI models from competitors like Anthropic. While Anthropic's Claude Code is still in beta and has faced some issues, its obfuscated source code and strict licensing have drawn criticism from the developer community. This situation presents a surprising PR advantage for OpenAI, which has been shifting away from open source in recent times.

Slate Auto, an EV startup, is nearing a deal to lease a 1.4 million-square-foot former printing plant in Warsaw, Indiana for its electric truck production. The factory, previously owned by R.R. Donnelly, has been dormant for about two years.

The company anticipates employing up to 2,000 people at the facility, with potential incentives from the county. Slate plans to manufacture its EVs in the USA, with a focus on domestic manufacturing.

Backed by investors like Jeff Bezos and General Catalyst, Slate has raised over $100 million. The company aims to reduce costs by using wraps instead of paint, eliminating the need for a paint shop in the factory.
