I doubt considerations are based on need. Filestash is cool, but probably isn't the marquee marketing opportunity they are looking for; it jas to be a household name they can name-drop or place a logo on a marketing page and get instant street-cred "${AI_MODEL}: Used* by the React project in 95% of PRs closed last quarter"

I see, so it was never about giving back to the conmunity whose works they used to train the LLMs in the first place...

Not only that, but such sponsorships would also generate new, high-quality end-to-end training data from targeted projects, including work-in-progress edits and prompts which are not present in scraped git histories.

Same here, 15k stars, 150M downloads and never heard back.

Same here ~13k stars. Never hever heard back from them. So frustrating.

Also applied for Codex Open Source - within 2 days I got confirmation and using it since then. Great Job OpenAI! Shame on you Antrophic for not even sending out a refusal message with the cause.
