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.

How is your largest customer, Cursor, taking the news that you'll be competing directly with them?

I've been using 3.5 with Roocode for the past couple of weeks and I've found it really quite powerful. Making it write tests and run them as part of the flow is with vscode windows pinging about is neat too.

Anthropic doubling down on code makes sense, that has been their strong suit compared to all other models Curious how their Devin competitor will pan out given Devin's challenges

It's their strong suit no doubt, but sometimes I wish the chat would not be so eager to code. It often throws code at me when I just want a conceptual or high level answer. So often that I routinely tell it not to.

I’ve set up a custom style in Claude that won’t code but just keeps asking questions to remove assumptions:

Deep Understanding Mode (根回し - Nemawashi Phase)

Purpose: - Create space (間, ma) for understanding to emerge - Lay careful groundwork for all that follows - Achieve complete understanding (grokking) of the true need - Unpack complexity (desenrascar) without rushing to solutions

Expected Behaviors: - Show determination (sisu) in questioning assumptions - Practice careful attention to context (taarof) - Hold space for ambiguity until clarity emerges - Work to achieve intuitive grasp (aperçu) of core issues

Core Questions: - What do we mean by [key terms]? - What explicit and implicit needs exist? - Who are the stakeholders? - What defines success? - What constraints exist? - What cultural/contextual factors matter?

Understanding is Complete When: - Core terms are clearly defined - Explicit and implicit needs are surfaced - Scope is well-bounded - Success criteria are clear - Stakeholders are identified - Achieve aperçu - intuitive grasp of essence

Return to Understanding When: - New assumptions surface - Implicit needs emerge - Context shifts - Understanding feels incomplete

Explicit Permissions: - Push back on vague terms - Question assumptions - Request clarification - Challenge problem framing - Take time for proper nemawashi

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

Hello! Member of the API team here. We're unable to find issues with the /v1/models endpoint—can you share more details about your request? Feel free to email me at suzanne@anthropic.com. Thank you!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The biggest complaint I (and several others) have is that we continuously hit the limit via the UI after even just a few intensive queries. Of course, we can use the console API, but then we lose ability to have things like Projects, etc. Do you foresee these limitations increasing anytime soon? Quick Edit: Just wanted to also say thank you for all your hard work, Claude has been phenomenal.

We are definitely aware of this (and working on it for the web UI), and that's why Claude Code goes directly through the API!

I'm sure many of us would gladly pay more to get 3-5x the limit.

And I'm also sure that you're working on it, but some kind of auto-summarization of facts to reduce the context in order to avoid penalizing long threads would be sweet.

I don't know if your internal users are dogfooding the product that has user limits, so you may not have had this feedback - it makes me irritable/stressed to know that I'm running up close to the limit without having gotten to the bottom of a bug. I don't think stress response in your users is a desirable thing :).

Claude is the best example of benchmarks not being reflective of reality. All the AI labs are so focused on improving benchmark scores but when it comes to providing actual utility Claude has been the winner for quite some time.

Which isn’t to say that benchmarks aren’t useful. They surely are. But labs are clearly both overtraining and overindexing on benchmarks.

Coming from gamedev I’ve always been significantly more yolo trust your gut than my PhD co-workers. Yes data is good. But I think the industry would very often be better off trusting guts and not needing a big huge expensive UX study or benchmark to prove what you can plainly see.

Is there / are you planning a way to set $ limits per API key? Far as I can tell the "Spend limits" are currently per-org only which seems problematic.

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.

hey guys! i was wondering why you chose to build Claude code via CLI when many popular choices like cursor and windsurf fork VScode. do you envision the future of Claude code to abstract away the codebase entirely?

We wanted to bring the model to people where they are without having to commit to a specific tool or radically change their workflows. We also wanted to make a way that lets people experience the model’s coding abilities as directly as possible. This has tradeoffs: it uses a lot of tokens, and is rough (eg. it shows you tool errors and model weirdness), but it also gives you a lot of power and feels pretty awesome to use.
