Summary
Chipotlai Max is a satirical/meme open-source project that forks OpenCode to use Chipotle's customer support chatbot "Pepper" (powered by IPsoft Amelia) as a free AI coding assistant. The project gained traction after Pepper went viral in March 2026 for unexpectedly solving coding problems like LeetCode challenges and writing Python code. The project is framed as a community effort to "steal" compute from various fast-food and retail chains' chatbots, with a humorous tone acknowledging potential legal consequences.
