Since Claude Code can browse the web, is it fair to think of it as “rewriting and simplifying a compiler originally written in C++ into Rust”?

In the original post Anthropic did point out that Claude Code did not have access to the internet
Presumably it had access to GCC (and LLVM/Clang) sources in it's training data? All of which are hosted or mirrored on Github.
And all of which are in an entirely different language, and which use pretty different architectures to this compiler.
I would've guess so, but I was talking about it in a "does Claude Code (not the model) have access to the internet?", which, according to Anthropic, it didn't.
