More than 2 years later, has anything interesting happened with the leaked GTA V source code?

At the end of 2023, the source code of GTA V has leaked. There were also some guides to build it from source.

Does anyone know if it was used in some way?

Just remembered it today when cleaning my phone's nearly full SD card, and GTAVSP.7z said hello.

Between the fact you could mod it to hell already and the resources were already easy to decompile there wasn’t much left. There’s possibly some cheats for Online but everyone expects things to be crazy there, so there wasn’t as much value.

Didn't a random guy optimized a something reducing loading times?

Yes, someone fixed their broken json parsing: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/

But this was in 2021 and done without source code.

I believe that happened before the source code leak. All of the game item parameters were stored in a 10mb JSON file and they were loaded by a single threaded parser, the random guy patched it.
