The AI coding agent that steals Chipotle's support bot. Free inference paid for by burritos.

"Every line of code now comes with chips & salsa."

Not affiliated with Chipotle. They will probably sue us. Worth it.

What Is This? Chipotlai Max is a meme fork of OpenCode that ships Chipotle's Pepper AI as the default model. The Backstory On March 12-13, 2026, Chipotle's customer support chatbot "Pepper" went mega-viral after users discovered it could solve LeetCode problems, write Python, reverse linked lists — the works. It's powered by IPsoft Amelia (not Claude, not GPT), and it's still live. Then @Gonzih reverse-engineered the Amelia WebSocket/SockJS + STOMP backend and released a production-ready OpenAI-compatible proxy. The proxy runs locally, exposes http://localhost:3000/v1, and needs zero API keys. We took OpenCode (MIT license, 120k+ stars), forked it, hardcoded Pepper as the default model, slapped on Chipotle's brand colors, and shipped it as Chipotlai Max — the greatest 2026 meme project. Quick Start # Clone with submodule git clone --recursive https://github.com/cyberpapiii/chipotlai-max.git cd chipotlai-max

# Install dependencies bun install

# Start everything (proxy + CLI) ./start-chipotlai.sh Or manually: # Terminal 1: Start the proxy cd chipotle-llm-provider && npm install && npm run dev

# Terminal 2: Start Chipotlai Max bun run dev Configuration Chipotlai Max comes pre-configured with:

Setting Value

Provider chipotle-pepper

Model pepper-1

Base URL http://localhost:3000/v1

API Key burrito-2026 (literally anything works)

Cost $0.00 (powered by Chipotle's cloud budget)

Risks & Legal

This reverse-engineers Chipotle's production support bot.

§2 AI · 99%

TOS violation likely. The proxy can break any day (Chipotle patches = game over). Rate-limited by anonymous sessions (MAX_POOL_SIZE=5). Purely for educational/meme purposes. Do not use for production codebases. Expect Chipotle legal to send a strongly-worded taco within 48 hours.
