I was surprised recently to see that gemini-cli[0] and codex[1] each have way more GitHub stars than Claude Code[3]. Currently 62k, 31k, and 25k respectively.

Stars are only a proxy for use, of course, but I'm not sure what a closer public indicator might be.

Both Gemini CLI and Codex are open source, with the actual code in the repo, so that could be the difference.

Yup. Claude Code's repo is basically just an issue tracker.

That indeed is very surprising. I guess they're larger companies (even getting their own engineers to star in Google's case is a pretty big deal).

From HN conversations I'd have said Claude Code was 90%+ of the market by what I remember seeing.

It is on YouTube and Reddit too, having done a bit of a dive into it last weekend.

Clause code massively dominates the AI agentic coding space at the moment.
