In 2023, when I started, nobody said Anthropic and Claude and coding in the same sentence.
At the time, I saw people were starting to use these models not just for code autocomplete, but actually writing long-form code.
It's not an opportunity for us to train Opus 3 to be better at.
That was the inflection.
What was magical about Opus 4.5 is we also now not just had a model, but a vehicle, a great product experience like Cloud Code.
Opus 4.5 wouldn't have had that moment without a product like Cloud Code.
And Cloud Code wouldn't have had that type of adoption accelerated without Opus 4.5.
For my team, the way to drive user value is to figure out the right user feedback.
The evals, we actually have a saying on the team of evals are the new PRDs.
You have to sweat the tokens as much as you sweat the pixels.
You have to be using the models to come up with good and great and better ideas, and there's no substitute for that.
One thing I ask the team is, let's say, Cloud 8 comes around, what changes in what users do?
What does that mean for how you're building today?
Thank you, Lenny.
It's so nice to see you again.
It was.
I think a big part of what's made Anthropic today actually has been very much the core of even the early days.
So I joined in 2023.
Like you said, we had five product engineers.
There was one engineer for the entirety of our API business, if you believe.
