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.
Which starter pokemon does Claude typically choose?

TLDR: told it to implement a grid view as an alternative to the existing list view, and specifically told it to DRY the code. What it did? Copy and pasted the list view implementation (definitely not DRY), and tried to make it a grid, and even though it is a grid, it looks terrible ( https://i.imgur.com/fJiSjq4.png ). I don't understand how people use cursor and all that other shit when it cannot follow such simple i…
In any moderately sized codebase it's basically useless indeed. Pretty much all the praise and hype I ever see is from people making todo-list-tier applications and shouting with excitement how this is going to replace all of humanity. Hell, I still have to remind it (Cursor) to not give me fucking React a few messages after I've already told it to not give me React (it's a Vue application with not a single line of R…

this is also my problem, ive only used the UI with $20 subscription, can I use the same subscription to use the cli? I'm afraid its like those aws api billing where there is no limit to how much I can use then get a surprise bill
It is API billing like AWS - you pay for what you use. Every time you exit a session we print the cost, and in the middle of a session you can do /cost to see your cost so far that session! You can track costs in a few ways and set spend limits to avoid surprises: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-c...
i.e I'd like my chat and API usage to be all included under a flat-rate subscription.
Currenty Pro doesn't give me any API credits to use with coding assistants (Claude Code included ?) which is completely disjointed. And I need to be a business to use the API still ?
Honestly, Claude is so good, just please take my money and make it easy to do the above !

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 haven't been able to find ClaudeCLI for pubic access yet. Would love to use.

Indeed we do https://glama.ai/models/deepseek-r1 It is provided by DeepSeek and Avian. I am also midway of enabling a third-provider (Nebius). You can see all models/providers over at https://glama.ai/models As another commenter in this tread said, we are just a 'frontend wrapper' around other people services. Therefore, it is not particularly difficult to add models that are already supported by other providers. The…
Yeah I am aware. I use open router at the moment but I find it lacks a good UX.
They have a very solid infrastructure.
Scaling infrastructure to handle billions of tokens is no joke.
I believe they are approaching 1 trillion tokens per week.
Glama is way smaller. We only recently crossed 10bn tokens per day.
However, I have invested a lot more into UX/UI of that chat itself, i.e. while OpenRouter is entirely focused on API gateway (which is working for them), I am going for a hybrid approach.
The market is big enough for both projects to co-exist.
It redid half of my BSc thesis in less than 30s :| https://claude.ai/share/ed8a0e55-633f-4056-ba70-772ab5f5a08b edit: Here's the output figure https://i.imgur.com/0c65Xfk.png edit 2: Gemini Flash 2 failed miserably https://g.co/gemini/share/10437164edd0
Could this (or something similar) be found in public access/some libraries?
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.
Incredible work!

Absolutely, when tasked with something quite complex in a complex code base, it doesn't really work. It can get you some of the way there, and some of the code it produces gives you great ideas on where to go from, but it doesn't work.
But there are certainly some tasks where it excels. I asked it to refactor a rather gnarly function (C++), and it did a great job at decomposing it. The initial decomposition was a bit naive: the original function took in a vector, and would parse what the function & data from the vector, and the decomposition split out the functions, but the data still came in as a vector. For instance, one of the functions took a filename, and file contents, and it took it as element 0 and element 1 from a vector, when it should obviously be two parameters. But some further prompting and it took it to the end.
This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?
It seems to be slowing down actually. Last year was wild until around llama 3. The latest improvements are relatively small. Even the reasoning models are a small improvement over explicit planning with agents that we could already do before - it's just nicely wrapped and slightly tuned for that purpose. Deepseek did some serious efficiency improvements, but not so much user-visible things. So I'd say that the AI rac…

Serious question: What advice would you give to a Computer Science student in light of these tools?
You still need to know what good code looks like to use these tools. If you go forward in your career trusting the output of LLMs without the skills to evaluate the correctness, style, functionality of that code then you will have problems.
People still write low level machine code today, despite compilers having existed for 70+ (?) years.
We'll always need full-stack humans who understand everything down to the electrons even in the age of insane automation that we're entering.
