The Atlantic had a similar take, writing, move over chat GPT.

The article says, though Cloud Code is technically an AI coding tool, hence its name, the bot can do all sorts of computer work, book theater tickets, process shopping returns, order DoorDash.

People are using it to manage their personal finances and to grow plants.

I don't know what it says about The Atlantic that the first example they reached to is book theater tickets, but there you go.

The author remarked that they used vibe coding tools for the first time in preparation for the article and was astonished that they could create a new personal website in minutes without any coding.

They went on to spin up a dozen additional projects over the next few days.

They texted a friend to try it out and received the response, it just does stuff.

ChatGBT is like if a mechanic just gave you advice about your car.

CloudCode is like if the mechanic actually fixed it.

To be honest, I don't really think that that does it justice.

I think it's more like Claude Code is like if when you dropped off your car at the mechanic, you could request any other car, and all of a sudden, a few minutes later, it would just be there waiting for you.

A user named Alex Lieberman was profiled for the piece and claimed that in terms of implication, this was even bigger than the chat GPT moment.

However, he added, Pandora's box hasn't been open for the rest of the world yet.

That might not be the case for long, however, with major publications now raving about Anthropic's product lineup.

Cloud Code creator Boris Cherny remarked on the overnight success that was years in the making, saying, Glad to see Cloud Code starting to break through.

It's been a year of very hard work, and we're just getting started.

Ajni Mida writes, One other Anthropic story, the latest on their reported fundraising.

That round that we've been hearing about that values Anthropic at $350 billion is apparently getting supersized up to potentially $25 billion.

That includes about 15 from Microsoft and Nvidia and another 10 from VCs and other investors.

Among those VCs is apparently Sequoia.
