Big companies copy open source projects without even a heads-up; these 160k stars on OMO weren't gained for nothing.

According to Binjie.com news, after the open-source framework OMO team launched Claude Code dynamic workflows and the Ultracode mode with Opus 4.8 on Anthropic, it publicly accused Anthropic of pixel-level copying of its multi-model orchestration architecture. OMO, an open-source terminal agent project with 167,000 stars, was developed by a 23-year-old Korean hacker, Q, and has already racked up 60,000 stars; it is extremely vocal in the developer community. This controversy sheds light on the predatory path of big tech firms—“first suppressing, then absorbing.” The OMO team also has longstanding grudges with FactoryAI, which has been accused of copying OMO’s three-layer agent architecture. Faced with the OMO team’s accusations, the two big firms have not responded to date.
