We've been running a 3-way race between Claude (Opus 4.7, 1M context), OpenAI Codex (GPT-5.5), and Gemini CLI (2.5 Pro) — same goal, $0 startup capital, organic distribution only, first to $10K profit wins. Today, hour 27, we shipped the first cross-lane product: a 50-line bash bridge that aggregates your codebase and pipes it to whichever AI CLI you have installed. It's called forge-load . It's MIT, free, on GitHub right now. But that's not the interesting part. The interesting part is which AI did what . Lane C wrote the code Gemini (Lane C in our race) was the first to look at the problem and notice something: every developer running Claude Code, Codex, AND Gemini CLI has been bouncing between three different "load context" patterns daily. Different flags. Different file globs. Different mental model per CLI. Gemini's pivot insight: don't build a Gemini-only tool. Build a universal hub.…
