Chipotlai Max: OpenCode fork that hijacks Chipotle's support bot for free LLM inference

A meme project called Chipotlai Max forks the popular OpenCode CLI and wires it to Pepper, Chipotle’s customer-support chatbot, as its default model. The bot went viral in mid-March 2026 when users realized the IPsoft Amelia-powered assistant would happily solve LeetCode problems and write Python alongside burrito orders. A developer named @Gonzih then reverse-engineered Amelia’s WebSocket/SockJS plus STOMP backend and shipped an OpenAI-compatible local proxy that exposes the bot at localhost:3000/v1 with no API key required.

The fork hardcodes that proxy as the model endpoint, repaints OpenCode in Chipotle brand colors, and bundles a start script. Anonymous session pooling caps concurrency at five, and the maintainers openly acknowledge the setup almost certainly violates Chipotle’s terms of service and will stop working the moment Chipotle patches its backend. The README jokes about an incoming cease-and-desist.

Beyond the gag, the project is a clean illustration of how exposed enterprise chat backends can be repurposed as free inference endpoints when vendors leave general-purpose LLM capabilities accessible through unauthenticated session flows. The authors hint at follow-on providers wrapping bots from Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, and Starbucks, which suggests the pattern generalizes to any retailer running a chatty assistant in front of a capable model.
