    It’s just a fancy way of saying scaffolding.

    Lol I wrote about this and been using plan+execute workflow for 8 months. Sadly my post didn't much attention at the time. https://thegroundtruth.media/p/my-claude-code-workflow-an…

    Okay now this is gonna trigger mass layoffs, if it works.

    Not yet. But that's just because I'm doing something in stealth and I don't want it to know about it and post about it.

    I'm running it on DigialOcean, more of an experiment on having an independent entity with its own memory and "soul" that I can talk to. Persistent file as memory with multiple back…

    I'm pretty sure Mistral is doing fine tuning for their enterprise clients. OpenAI and Anthropic are probably not? I'm more thinking about startups for fine-tuning.

    Ironically this is a goldmine for AI labs and AI writer startups to do RL and fine-tuning.

    Max 200/300 LOC per file is pretty popular.

    If you want to pedantic: Context is also a misnomer, where in fact it's just a part of prompt. Prompt itself is also a misnomer, where in fact it's just part of model input. Model …

    By your analogy human brains as also IP thefts, because they ingest what's available in the world, mix and match them, and synthesize slightly different IPs based on them.

    Claude Code also has Claude Agent SDK (basically a wrapper around Claude Code) with a million downloads in the past week. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-s…

    Thanks. This is an informative piece. Which AI did you use for writing it? It's pretty good.

    The fintech company I worked at does handle millions of QPS has has thousands of servers. It is on the same order of magnitude or at least 0.1x scale, not to mention the complexity…

    The blog post said the rollout of the config change took 1 minute.

    There is nothing wrong with moving fast and deploying fast. I'm more talking about how slow it was to detect the issue caused by the config change, and perform the rollback of the …

    The deployment pattern from Cloudflare looks insane to me. I've worked at one of the top fintech firms, whenever we do a config change or deployment, we are supposed to have rollba…

    Maybe they want to have their own protocol and standard for file editing for training and fine-tuning their own models, instead of relying on Anthropic standard. Or it could be a s…

    In theory, auto-regressive models should not have limit on context. It should generate the next token with all previous tokens. In practice, when training a model, people select a …

    That's mostly because of the system prompt asking Claude to be a helpful assistant. If you try with a human who works in a call center with that system prompt as instructions on ho…

    What would you expect a human to reply? And after you have answered that question. Try Claude Sonnet 4.5. What is Claude Sonnet 4.5's reply?
