#22This is interesting and appreciated but I'm not sure it's a Show HN unless the OP is representing Anthropic?
All 3 submissions of OP start with "Show HN". I think they are not aware of HN protocols.
To OP:
> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.
> The project must be something you've worked on personally and which you're around to discuss.

#23This seems like Anthropic showing people how to build a thin layer around Claude. Can building a thin layer around Claude be a valuable business model? If there are good profitable UIs for Claude, wouldn't Anthropic implement them itself?
Opportunity cost. Anthropic's deal is in training Claude and whatever they choose to call their next model, not whatever weird little niche you're going after. I might not go after programming, but, say, a dnd character backstory generator would be a wrapper that's probably not interesting enough for them to build themselves to compete with yours. Or maybe it is, but your DND character backstory generator also doesn'…

But is there any reason to use them besides a demo to investors while you actually build the business on llama? Why build a business with a permanent subscription that's the entire core to your business?

This...so this. There is no value capture in building a shell around Claude
Also, most people are not computer experts; if you show them something can be done using your website, they will continue to do it using your website long after others have added the same functionality.

#29I wish I could pay for a guarantee of performance, really quantization, which seems so simple but because it can 2-4x decrease their costs, LLM API providers keep quantizing and distilling without telling anyone. It’s a longer journey: to be an enterprise API. Which by the way, is a terrible business to be in.

#30Well done. We are building something similar [1] and found that generating UIs (mostly charts) on the fly works surprisingly well in most cases, but can be a bit frustrating if you know exactly what you want and just can't prompt it (as a user) to do that because of some edge case. While this is a cool demo that shows what LLMs can do I am a bit surprised how polished and advanced it looks (even PDF upload) for a qui…
