What is open source exactly? The typescript client? Because it seems to just hook into $B apis with some credits awarded and has a pricing page.

We're throwing around the open-source label a little too wide for the actual goods delivered I find...

It definitely is a strong contender to Claude Cowork. Although needs some improvements, I hope the OSS community would help contributing. I believe, since cowork is closed source and was vibe coded with claude code, I think it will take time for them to catch up. But time will tell !

Has anybody tried this? Probably won't make sense to use Opus with this due to the API costs, but other models may work well perhaps?
