Anthropic is on a roll:
- best harness overall (well maybe until like a month ago when gpt5.5 and codex came out)
- acquires bun
- acquires stainless for SDKs
- deal with Elon for compute
- karpathy
what else did I miss?
- nashadelic 5mo agothey invented MCP, Skills, made these standards open so anyone could build the harness around them.
- orliesaurus 5mo agothis pre-IPO is gonna be incredible
- munk-a 5mo agoIt's going to be dramatic - it's unclear how much of their DAUs are organic and how much is through their PE usage deals. There's a large amount of organic usage certainly, it's a useful tool, but there are quite a few of the tell tale signs that they have an internal number they want their user acquisition to be at and they're failing to meet that through organic growth.
- orliesaurus 5mo agoI have this image in mind [1] - I wonder how it shifted over time. [1] https://imgur.com/a/3zBZ27I https://imgur.com/a/3zBZ27I
- bigyabai 5mo agoTo be fair, MCP and Skills do not have any source code. It is fundamentally impossible to release either standard without making it open.
- xmcp123 5mo agoMCP is barely an invention. It's a fuzzy spec detailing a pretty obvious design pattern.
- mirekrusin 5mo agoLLM is barely an invention. It's an auto complete we had years before.
- jim33442 5mo agoLLM is not comparable to MCP or skills. There's no way I could've come up with LLMs on my own. Anyway Claude Code is the best.
- mirekrusin 5mo agoAll harness feels uncomplicated.
- jim33442 5mo agoNo, there's a lot of subtlety in AI harnesses
- xmcp123 5mo agoAlso I'm a little bitter, prior to this I never had trouble getting my username on websites. No one used this combination of 4 letters for godamn anything. All gone, for shitty typeahead
- alchemism 5mo agodamn hipsters.
- nikcub 5mo agoI'm trying to think of a standard this doesn't apply to
- CAP_NET_ADMIN 5mo ago1. Best harness? It ranks the worst with Opus in terminalbench: https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0?models=Claude+Opus+4.7,Claude+Opus+4.6 https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0?models=... 2. Mixed for the entire bun ecosystem, especially with the Rust, Anthropic-focused rewrite 3. Good, because Anthropic's SDK was one of the worst ones to use. 4. Deal with the guy that has a shit ton of compute around wasting money because no-one uses Grok and was frequently calling Anthropic "Misanthropic". https://i.redd.it/kp4uy1egspjg1.png https://i.redd.it/kp4uy1egspjg1.png 5. Glorified marketer whose probably greatest achievement in pushing AI forward was instructing on CS 231n and coining the term vibe coding. Yeah, on a roll.
- porphyra 5mo agoYou're not entirely wrong but your snide tone is annoying and unsuitable for this platform. Anyway, 1. Claude Code is widely used and beloved despite not benchmaxxing on the terminalbench like these harnesses that nobody has ever heard of or uses. 5. Karpathy's contributions are way more than CS 231n and coining vibe coding. In terms of pedagogy, his "zero to hero" videos, nanoGPT, etc, are all great. For actual work, he also built a great org at Tesla.
- sunaookami 5mo agoNTA but Claude Code is everything but beloved. It's incredibly meh, very buggy (to that extend that customers were literally losing money), heavily vibecoded and all around just... bad. I appreciate it for kickstarting the whole terminal agent thing and I would still use it but only because Anthropic mandates it for using Claude with your subscription.
- CAP_NET_ADMIN 5mo agoYep, sadly the case, been using Codex CLI a lot lately and it somehow feels more... refined. Gemini is just tragic.

- dizhn 5mo agoTim Abbott the Zulip guy.
- m3kw9 5mo agoHaving crappy limits, lots of down times, 4.7opus isn't all that.
