It should be noted that this user is basically an OAI shill account. You can look through their history to see this quite clearly. Anecdata, but I have a friend at OAI who claims that on both twitter and HN there is mild coordination of OAI employees to signal boost pro-OAI and anti-competitor messaging.
OpenAI and Anthropic are both private companies with lots of individual investors such as employees, secondary-market buyers, and so on, who stand to become multi-millionaires. So most of what you read about them here is probably colored by someone's financial interests. Not that it's gonna make a difference, but people are just being people.
So are you saying they are putting out false information?
Re: Anthropic acquires Stainless
#373I had never heard of Stainless, but it is deeply concerning that Anthropic are able to use monopoly money to kill software at their whim. First Bun, and now this. It's one thing for a corporation to do it with their own money, because at some point the board will ask them why they're wasting money. But Anthropic isn't even profitable. They're doing this with billions of dollars of borrowed money. Same thing with Open…
[EDIT: I'm an idiot, sorry, completely misread your comment. I agree on all counts]
lmao, this is hilarious
Re: Anthropic acquires Stainless
#374Wait Stainless is not a Rust company???
No, stainless is not, unfortunately
Re: Anthropic acquires Stainless
#375Utterly shameless plug, but recently at WorkOS I open sourced our OpenAPI spec to SDK pipeline: https://workos.com/blog/handwritten-sdks-are-dead We evaluated Stainless & Fern for our 8+ languages but ultimately I couldn’t justify the cost nor ceding control to another organization for something as important as platform DX.
Is this legal?
Re: Anthropic acquires Stainless
#376Anthropic is getting extremely petty and especially against oai - ad in superbowl about how they are the good guys. - dow public PR stunt (they are the ones to give Palantir their model access). - sues openclaw. - threatens every use of cc in oss community. - prevents other companies using claude saying they cant use when they compete. - never released a single open weight model. - Dario told OAI is Yolo'ing in compu…
Curious - are you affiliated with OpenAI?
They are almost certainly an OAI employee, reading their history.

The issue is there’s non linearities involved. Although I don’t know I would use the open claw guy, but let’s take Isaac Newton. You can’t sum up people and arrive at an Isaac Newton worth of talent. He’s singular, unique, and irreplaceable at what he did. There were others similarly outsized in their ability to change things, and there are today as well. But you can’t funge talent at some level with more people - in…
You can replace Newton with Leibniz.
Newton did a lot more than just calculus, you know.

In short: we take your OpenAPI spec file and generate idiomatic, best in class SDKs in various languages, a highly customizable docs product (for your API and SDKs, with neat specific examples ready to be copy pasted), MCP servers, CLI clients, terraform providers. Going further into it: the expected user experience for your team is that you create a PR in your own API repo, a GitHub action triggers builds for everyt…

Tale as old as the word "startup" even. Uber/Lyft did it with taxis. DoorDash did it with food delivery. You run at a loss for years while destroying your legacy competition by just outlasting them, then once you have cornered the market you squeeze.
I understand the cynism but it’s not the case here. Stainless isn't a case of blitzscaling or running a loss for years to destroy the competition. The motto of the company is polished and robust and we invested a lot into generating what we think are the highest quality SDKs available. We could have shipped things way, way faster if the focus on design and quality wasn’t such an essential part of the development proc…
Don't you feel unqualified to make such statements since you have a obvious bias and extreme financial $tak€ here?
Did we all lose are critical thinking during COVID or something?
Re: Anthropic acquires Stainless
#380Anthropic is at a place where they need the world's best software engineers, and they're willing to comp at insane levels to get them. However: You simply cannot post a Linkedin job for "Really Good Software Engineer, comp $10M+" and make any sense of the inbound applications you'll get. They're not the first to figure this out, and they won't be the last: Successfully building a company, and using that company's pro…
