Hard for me to not see efforts like this as further proof that Generative AI might be revolutionary and important technology, but that the decentralizable nature of all of it means that no big company is going to make piles of money off of it, because it is so defacto open-source?

  How is a project library of API wrappers... a project library with one project an example of how this is all decentralized ?

    It isn't proof, but think of an example where a discovery and it's implementations have been released open source at the same time like this - has it led to what the commenter described, or something blurrier?

  Anyone can buy a computer and resell hosting. Yet AWS and other cloud make piles of money. It is easy to manage one small computer. It is hard to manage something like what AWS offer. My guess is we will end up similary with AI. It still be very expensive to run efficiently so many people will throw money at people doing it for them.

I always jump straight to the prompts with projects like this. Here's their system prompt that does a lot of the work: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts/blob/86c2204f10426e3117dcc6e65919c3b042707c32/customer-support-agent/app/api/chat/route.ts#L125-L196 https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts/blob/86c...

  100%! Really great release from Anthropic though! I do wonder how well this will scale if attempting to build this out with more than just a couple categories, etc.

I'm guessing more quickstarts are imminent? Seems a bit premature to launch with just one.

Would a single sentence saying who/what anthropic is be too much effort? Neither the GitHub organization page (https://github.com/anthropics https://github.com/anthropics) or their docs web site (https://docs.anthropic.com/en/home https://docs.anthropic.com/en/home) provide that. I don't know about their main web site (https://anthropic.com/ https://anthropic.com/) as my employer blocks their web site.
