When you're in the business of selling tokens - you look at technology that reduces that as a threat. If they were selling services that USE tokens, then reducing them would be welcome... so they'll likely steal this and incorporate it into their proprietary CLIs like claude code...
- MarsIronPI 8mo agoHuh? Anthropic doesn't sell Claude Code, they sell tokens. Why would they make Claude Code more token-efficient?
- tgtweak 8mo agoAnthropic sells api tokens - until they released claude code the only way to use claude for coding was via api tokens in something like cursor or cline.
- MarsIronPI 8mo agoExactly. They don't make money on Claude Code directly, so it's not in their interest to make it use fewer tokens (which are what they make their profit on).
