Odd Lots · The Creator of Claude Code on The Hottest Piece of Software in the World · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

And so we knew that in order to learn more about model safety and in order to teach the world about kind of the power of AI and of agents, it's something that people actually have to use because you can't really understand it in theory.

You have to actually use it.

And then you kind of, you get it, you know, like,

You use it to clean up your desktop.

And you understand what this thing can do.

And so we knew for a while that we wanted to build some product in the space.

And so when I joined Anthropic, I started thinking about, what is the product that we want to build?

And we wanted to build a coding product, because we knew our models are really good at coding.

Back then, it was Sonnet 3.5.

This was the world's first, I think, really, really good coding model.

And that turned people onto this idea that the model, at the time, two years ago,

was writing maybe like a line of code at a time.

It was this autocomplete, like you type a few letters, you press tab, and then it finishes the sentence.

But we had this idea with 3.5 that you can actually do more.

You can ask it to write an entire file and maybe an entire feature.

Even back then by nowadays standards, it wasn't very good.

But back then it was just like this big step in model capability.

And so we thought coding would kind of be the place to kind of combine these ideas of giving people the model so they can learn about it, teaching us more about model safety so we can make the model even safer and even more aligned with interest, and then also just something useful for people so they would use it.

Yeah.

So, you know, for Anthropic, the focus has always been safety.
