It's pretty fascinating to refresh the usage page on the API site while working [0].

After initialization it was up to 500k tokens ($1.50). After a few questions and a small edit, I'm up to over a million tokens (>$3.00). Not sure if the amount of code navigation and typing saved will justify the expense yet. It'll take a bit more experimentation.

In any case, the default API buy of $5 seems woefully low to explore this tool.

OK then show me a model that can answer honestly and correctly about whether or not it knows something.

Show me a human that can answer honestly and correctly about whether they know something.

It also produces terrible code even though it's supposed to be good for front-end development.

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.

One of the silver bullets of Claude, in the context of coding, is that it does NOT use RAG when you use it via the web interface. Sure, you burn your tokens but the model sees everything and this let it reply in a much better way. Is Claude Code doing the same and just doing document-level RAG, so that if a document is relevant and if it fits , all the document will be put inside the context window? I really hope so!…

Right -- Claude Code doesn't use RAG currently. In our testing we found that agentic search out-performed RAG for the kinds of things people use Code for.

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.

Worked for me, seems to be case sensitive (?)

Aha, there it is - terrific, thank you :>

Yes, I'm quite the eclectic kind!

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

Awesome work. When CoT is enabled in Claude 3.7 (not the new Claude Code), is the model now able to compile and run code as part of its thought process? This always seemed like very low hanging fruit to me, given how common this pattern is: ask for code, try running it, get an error (often from an outdated API in one of the packages used), paste the error back to Claude, have Claude immediately fix it. Surely this could be wrapped into the reasoning iterations?

This is BS and you are not listening and watching carefully.

Even the best LLMs today are just junior devs with a lot of knowledge. They make a lot of the same mistakes junior devs would do. Even the responses, when you point out those mistakes, are the same. If anything, it's a tool for junior devs to get better and spend more time on the architecture. Using AI code without fully understanding it (ie operated by a non-programmer) is just recipe for disaster.

The worst is when you tell it it's made a mistake and it agrees.

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

They probably aren't thrilled, but a lot of users will prefer a UI and I doubt Anthropic has the spare cycles to make a full Cursor competitor.

Kagi LLM benchmark updated with general purpose and thinking mode for Sonnet 3.7. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/llm-benchmark.html Appears to be second most capable general purpose LLM we tried (second to gemini 2.0 pro, in front of gpt-4o). Less impressive in thinking mode, about at the same level as o1-mini and o3-mini (with 8192 token thinking budget). Overall a very nice update, you get higher quality and higher…

Thank you to the Kagi team for such fast turn around on new LLMs being accessible via the Assistant! The value of Kagi Assistant has been a no-brainer for me.
