Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Anthropic’s first technical PM on token maxing, the jagged edge, and living in the future | Dianne Penn · 26 Jul 2026 podcast

So if you said like, give me a recipe for making spaghetti, it would say, here is a recipe

And the orange color is just like international red that the Golden Gate Bridge looked like.

And so it was really quirky.

And we very much wanted to, in that situation, just bring that user, bring it to the masses and bring it to people who were starting to use Cloud.

And so the entire experience, actually, we spun up on our Cloud.ai website within 24 hours.

And that took engineering, product, design, our research teams all working together.

And we were really, really proud of it.

I think it maybe reached only 2,000 people, to be honest.

But it made us feel like, oh, we can actually bring new user experiences, showcase our research in a way that's different and authentic to us, and in a very startup-y pace.

That to me was like one of those like maybe hidden inflection points of we were starting to find our identity, that we could build products, build experiences that were different for what our competitors had seen, what was already out there.

And I think that obviously labs, cloud code, et cetera, like we then started to identify ourselves as would we actually think the world is?

how to think about AI, how to bring that closer to the public.

But it was a very bottoms up culture.

And so that entire experience was very bottoms up.

I see engineers, I see designers donating time to work on.

And so I like to always use that as an example of like what the early days were like.

But the culture and the values have very much, I think, stayed the same since those early days.

Definitely when we were training and testing Opus 3, I think that was the moment when the company, I think we were less than 200 people still at that point.

And it was very clear that we needed and wanted to create a frontier model.

And that was very important in terms of our ability to reach users, consumers, and to showcase our research.
