Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

Anthropic is back and cementing its place as the creator of the best coding models—bravo! With Claude Code, the goal is clearly to take a slice of Cursor and its competitors' market share. I expected this to happen eventually. The app layer has barely any moat, so any successful app with the potential to generate significant revenue will eventually be absorbed by foundation model companies in their quest for growth a…

I think an argument could be reasonably made that the app layer is the only moat. It’s more likely Anthropic eventually has to acquire Cursor to cement a position here than they out-compete it. Where, why, what brand and what product customers swipe their credit cards for matters — a lot.

> "[..] in developing our reasoning models, we’ve optimized somewhat less for math and computer science competition problems, and instead shifted focus towards real-world tasks that better reflect how businesses actually use LLMs.” This is good news. OpenAI seems to be aiming towards "the smartest model," but in practice, LLMs are used primarily as learning aids, data transformers, and code writers. Balancing "intell…

Claude 3.5 has been fantastic in Windsurf. However, it does cost credits. DeepSeek V3 is now available in Windsurf at zero credit cost, which was a major shift for the company. Great to have variable options either way. I’d highly recommend anyone check out Windsurf’s Cascade feature for agentic-like code writing and exploration. It helped save me many hours in understanding new codebases and tracing data flows.

I'm working on an OSS agent called RA.Aid and 3.7 is anecdotally a huge improvement.

About to push a new release that makes it the default.

It costs money but if you're writing code to make money, it's totally worth it.

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

> - Your relationship with AI coding assistants is more complicated than most people's dating history - Cline, Cursor, Continue.Dev... pick a lane!

> - You talk about grabbing coffee while your LLM writes code so much that we're not sure if you're a developer or a barista who occasionally programs.

I laughed hard at this :D

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

Is there a way to always accept certain commands across sessions? Specifically for things like reading or updating files I don't want to have to approve that each time I open a new repl.

Also, is there a way to switch models between 3.5-sonnet and 3.5-sonnet-thinking? Got the initial impression that the thinking model is using an excessive amount of tokens on first use.

Awesome work, Claude is amazingly good at writing code that is pretty much plug and play. Could you speak at all about potential IDE integrations? An integration into Jetbrains IDEs would be super useful - I imagine being able to highlight a bit of code and having a plugin check the code graph to see dependencies, tests etc that might be affected by a change. Copying and pasting code constantly is starting to seem a…

Part of our vision is that because Claude Code is just in the terminal, you can bring it into any IDE (or server) you want! Obviously that has tradeoffs of not having a full GUI of the IDE though

Seems broken? Getting > An error occurred in the Server Components render. The specific message is omitted in production builds to avoid leaking sensitive details. A digest property is included on this error instance which may provide additional details about the nature of the error.

I did multiple accounts with no problem, but in trying to do you I got the same error.

You've broke the system.

Can you give some insight into how you chose the reply limit length? It seems to cut off many useful programs that are 80%-90% done and if the limit were just a little higher it would be a source of extraordinary benefit.

Can you let the API team know that the /v1/models endpoint has been broken for hours? Thanks.
