“We realized the tech is not as addictive as we’ve hoped so we won’t be able to raise token prices enough to be profitable, so here’s a way to make you consume a lot more tokens without even realizing”

I don't really get this. At this point, my limiting factor is not how quickly Claude can self-trudge through code. It's whether Claude is going to do the task correctly or not.

I need more mechanisms for controlling long-running sessions and dynamically injecting my thoughts, correction, and nudges rather than faster ways to burn through my tokens without knowing if the results are going to be correct.

A few of us from the Claude Code team will be hanging around if anyone has questions! Very excited for this launch -- dynamic workflows have been a game changer for engineering here at Anthropic. Can't wait to hear what you think.

Hi Boris! Thanks for Claude Code.

Is there an example of how y'all use Dynamic Workflows internally that you could share with the rest of us here so that we can mimic something similar?

Quite a thing to use Bun rewrite to Rust as example of dynamic workflows, while now it is considered as anti pattern which leads team to stop supporting the tool due to inability to properly understand and navigate 1m vibe coded Rust lines

How do you guys plan feature support between the CLI and Claude Desktop?

This is really dissapointing release for such a promising technique. Long walks with fanned vectors can actually be token optimizing vs token burning when combined with self grading each agent along the walk and compared to manual long coding walks to solve first pass problems. But instead this frames it (assumptively) as a tokenmaxxing strategy. There are also many other strartegies that can prove effeciency and wider solution consideration with consensus, but none of this is explained why its an improvement or better than other technqiues.

Its like you guys aren't even aware of the primary problem you are all facing: your token burns aren't paying off anyore against standard coding -- and looking net negative. I have to ask, are you this unaware of your core problem set here?

There are no any examples, proofs, or scenarios that show why there is improvement either in complexity or reliability of the solution or effeciency to the path of the solution. I'm baffled.

Will you document how to (AI-)author and share reusable workflows between team members, to ensure some consistency of quality?

Maybe blasphemy, but will workflows be able to use non-Anthropic LLMs (e.g., delegating some steps to local models, but design and review by Claude)?

Hey, yep. A few things I personally used dynamic workflows for over the last few weeks:

1. Autonomously landed 20+ optimizations to reduce Claude Code's token usage by ~15%

2. Ported tree-sitter, color-diff, yoga-layout, and a number of other WASM and Rust native modules to TypeScript, improving CPU and memory use by 2-10x in the process

3. Made our CI faster, and repeatedly found and fixed flaky tests (with /loop)

4. Migrated from regex-based bash static analysis to tree-sitter, reducing false positive permission prompts by 45%

5. Reduced Claude Agent SDK startup time by 61%, by repeatedly profiling and optimizing the startup path, putting up a number of PRs in the process

6. Shipped 69 code simplification PRs, deleting >10k lines of code

yes I agree with this, more granular going back, letting me interrupt where it went off the rails, or even editing file reads myself etc would be lovely. Ingesting parts of other conversations would also be cool!
