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.

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…

Jetbrains have an official mcp plugin

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for this - exciting launch. Do you have examples of cool applications or demos that the HN crowd should check out?

hi! I've been working on demos where I let Claude Code run for hours at a time on a sandboxed project: https://x.com/ErikSchluntz/status/1894104265817284770 TLDR: asking claude to speed up my code once 1.8x'd perf, but putting it in a loop telling it to make it faster for 2 hours led to a 500x speedup!

YES!! I need infinite credits for infinite Claude Code. Will try it to get Claude to do all my work.

Hi and congrats on the launch!

Will check out Claude Code soon, but in the meantime one unrelated other feature request: Moving existing chats into a project. I have a number of old-ish but super-useful and valuable chats (that are superficially unrelated) that I would like to bring together in a project.

> "[..] 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.

DeepSeek’s models are vastly overhyped (FWIW I have access to them via Kagi, Windsurf, and Cursor - I regularly run the same tests on all three). I don’t think it matters that V3 is free when even R1 with its extra compute budget is inferior to Claude 3.5 by a large margin - at least in my experience in both bog standard React/Svelte frontend code and more complex C++/Qt components. After only half an hour of using Claude 3.7, I find the code output is superior and the thinking output is in a completely different universe (YMMV and caveat emptor).

For example, DeepSeek’s models almost always smash together C++ headers and code files even with Qt, which is an absolutely egregious error due to the meta-object compiler preprocessor step. The MOC has been around for at least 15 years and is all over the training data so there’s no excuse.

When you ask: 'How many r's are in strawberry?' Claude 3.7 Sonnet generates a response in a fun and cool way with React code and a preview in Artifacts check out some examples: [1] https://claude.ai/share/d565f5a8-136b-41a4-b365-bfb4f4400df5 [2] https://claude.ai/share/a817ac87-c98b-4ab0-8160-feefd7f798e8

I'm guessing this is an easter egg, but this was a huge gripe I had with artifacts and eventually disabled it (now impossible to disable afaict) as I'd ask question completely unrelated to code or clearly not wanting code as an output, and I'd have to wait for it to write a program (which you can't stop afaict, it stops the current artifact then starts a new one)

(still claude sonnet is my go-to and favorite model)

To me the biggest surprise was seeking grok dominate in all of their published benchmarks. I haven’t seen any benchmarks of it yet (which I take with a giant heap of salt), but it’s still interesting nevertheless. I’m rooting for Anthropic.

Grok does the most thinking out of all models I tried (it can think for 2+ minutes), and that's why it is so good, though I haven't tried Claude 3.7 yet.

Does claude have a vscode plugin yet? I dropped github copilot because I didnt want so many subscriptions

You can use the Roo Code extension and point it most any api, including Anthropic:

Hi Boris, Would it be possible to bring back sonnet 2024 June? That model was the most attentive. Because we lost that model this release a value loss for me personally.

Seems to still be available via API as claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620

Why gatekeep Claude Code, instead of releasing the code for it? It seems like a direct increase in revenue/API sales for your company.
