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.

Claude is my go to llm for everything, sounds corny but it's literally expanding the circle of what I can reasonably learn, manyfold. Right now I'm attempting to read old philosophical texts (without any background in similar disciplines), and without claude's help to explain the dense language in simpler terms & discuss its ideas, give me historical contexts, explaining why it was written this or that way, compare it against newer ideas - I would've given up many times.

At work I used it many times daily in development. It's concise mode is a breath of fresh air compared to any other llm I've tried. It has helped me find bugs in foreign code bases, explain me the techstack, written bash scripts, saving me dozens of hours of work & many nerves. It generally makes me reach places I wouldn't without due to time constraints & nerves.

The only nitpick is that the service reliability is a bit worse than others, forcing me sometimes to switch to others. This is probably a hard to answer question, but are there plans to improve that?

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.

Got absolutely read to filth:

I'm somewhat impressed from the very first interaction I had with Claude 3.7 Sonnet. I prompted it to find a problem in my codebase where a CloudFlare pages function would return 500 + nonsensical error and an empty response in prod. Tried to figure this out all Friday. It was super annoying to fix as there's no way to add more logging or have any visibility to the issue as the script died before outputting anything.

Both o1, o3 and Claude 3.5 failed to help me in any way with this, but Claude 3.7 not only found the correct issue with first answer (after thinking 39 seconds) but then continued to write me a working function to work around the issue with the second prompt. (I'm going to let it write some tests later but stopped here for now.)

I assume it doesn't let me to share the discussion as I connected my GitHub repo to the conversation (a new feature in the web chat UI launched today) but I copied it as a gist here: https://gist.github.com/Uninen/46df44f4307d324682dabb7aa6e10...

It stopped being revolutionary and is now mostly evolutionary, though.

it's been evolutionary for a long time. I fine-tuned a GPT-2 based chat bot that could form complete sentences back in like 2017 It's been so long that I'm not even certain which YEAR I set that up.

GPT-2 was a 2019 release lol.

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.

Good idea! Tracking here: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16

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.

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...

If you are open to alternatives, try https://glama.ai/gateway We currently serve ~10bn tokens per day (across all models). OpenAI compatible API. No rate limits. Built in logging and tracing. I work with LLMs every day, so I am always on top of adding models. 3.7 is also already available. https://glama.ai/models/claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 The gateway is integrated directly into our chat ( https://glama.ai/chat ). So…

The issue isn't API limits, but web UI limits. We can always get around the web interface's limits by using the claude API directly but then you need to have some other interface...

The API still has limits. Even if you are on the highest tier, you will quickly run into those limits when using coding assistants.

The value proposition of Glama is that it combines UI and API.

While everyone focuses on either one or the other, I've been splitting my time equally working on both.

Glama UI would not win against Anthropic if we were to compare them by the number of features. However, the components that I developed were created with craft and love.

You have access to:

* Switch models between OpenAI/Anthropic, etc.

* Side-by-side conversations

* Full-text search of all your conversations

* Integration of LaTeX, Mermaid, rich-text editing

* Vision (uploading images)

* Response personalizations

* MCP

* Every action has a shortcut via cmd+k (ctrl+k)

I'm curious why there are no results for the "Claude 3.7 Extended Thinking" on SWE-Bench and Agentic tool use.

Are you finding that extended thinking helps a lot when the whole problem can be posed in the prompt, but that it isn't a major benefit for agentic tasks?

It would be a bit surprising, but it would also mirror my experiences, and the benchmarks which show Claude 3.5 being better at agentic tasks and SWE tasks than all other models, despite not being a reasoning model.

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 has the potential to effect a lot more than just SV/The West Coast - in fact SV may be one of the only areas who have some silver lining with AI development. I think these models have a chance to disrupt employment in the industry globally. Ironically it may be only SWE's and a few other industries (writing, graphic design, etc) that truly change. You can see they and other AI labs are targeting SWEs in particular - just look at the announcement "Claude 3.7 and Code" - very little mention of any other domains on their announcement posts.

For people who aren't in SV for whatever reason and haven't seen the really high pay associated with being there - SWE is just a standard job often stressful with lots of learning required ongoing. The pain/anxiety of being disrupted is even higher then since having high disposable income to invest/save would of been less likely. Software to them would of been a job with comparable pay's to other jobs in the area; often requiring you to be degree qualified as well - anecdotally many I know got into it for the love; not the money.

Who would of thought the first job being automated by AI would be software itself? Not labor, or self driving cars. Other industries either seem to have hit dead ends, or had other barriers (regulation, closed knowledge, etc) that make it harder to do. SWE's have set an example to other industries - don't let AI in or keep it in-house as long as possible. Be closed source in other words. Seems ironic in hindsight.
