Claude

“I literally just ordered two Mac Studio M fives. I just ordered two of these, we're going to be running local models, and we're moving off Claude for a lot of our sensitive data.”

“No, it's lower than that, but it's still in the millions.”

“I think there will be two vectors in the opposite direction. The usage will increase. And so the five percent will become 50%, but the cost will go down. And so net net, I think it will go down.”

“With these bots, it's still a bit, you know, sometimes you feel uncomfortable, but I think in a year or two from now, our bots, particularly bots from frontier models, like from X, OpenAI, and Claude, you will start trusting them soon.”

“Anthropic is sweating for sure because for the first time I would like, if I, if someone asked me pick a subscription, I would cancel and drop my Anthropics subscription. I would cancel Claude. Astra's that good.”

“Siri is not gonna blow anyone away who's been day-to-day living with OpenAI and Anthropa and Claude but it's certainly gonna be good enough for the masses, and I think that they're gonna get some new experiences that those are not as versed in AI that they'll …”

“So early days, because these frontier models were very, very strong. So you end up using multiple frontier models, right?... Like Gemini, the Claude, the Cursor, the GPT. But the grounding of that. Will happen with our proprietary data. That data doesn't go an…”

“Claude inside of cursor allows you to build plans for your feature sets. And it won't put in deep links in the plan. If you don't ask, it doesn't put in error handling and logging and documentation and making sure the design system works. And like, it doesn't …”

“So I, because I'm also doing the marketing, I have two repositories that are both local folders and sync to GitHub. And so what I've done is I've built all of the technical documentation into the repository. Of my application, and then I have, ah, I have a set…”

“So one of the things, for instance, that I use is we've got, ah, Ahrefs for SEO and AI tracking, and I've connected that to Claude And I'll have Claude, again, it's great at analyzing data. I'll have it go in there and analyze all of the tools. There's multipl…”

“Claude's famous sandwich in the park, which was like a very coordinated PR effort that might've happened or probably did happen in some capacity.”

“I mean, if I bundle all of the cloud, cursor, codecs, it is one of the fastest growing parts and definitely faster growing than the UI of Glean, which is still by a large margin, a very high daily engagement driver.”

“So like, I've tried to get both, both Fable and ChatGPT, 5.6 Sol, I guess, to do some kind of theory building, and it's like, they're not, they definitely are not good at it autonomously, at least with, like, whatever scaffolding I've set up. But with some hin…”

“One thing is that ChatGPD got better at math earlier. Yes. So, like, for a long time the Claude models were just, like, not useful for research math. And then I think maybe around Opus 4.5 or Opus 4.6, they, like, more or less caught up.”

“I don't want to say it's a complete non-event, but you could already do this in Salesforce and Claude. At Rider, where I work, people connect to Salesforce and run all types of queries. It's actually one of the most valuable things I've found for my day-to-day…”

“Like if you're a company that's using Salesforce for years, just because you can do some of your CRM activity doesn't mean you're gonna go overnight to, ah, to Claude. And so I think that, like, even if there was a Claude force, right? That was better. That's …”

“The problem it's going to be solving is that most people use AI in these random chats. So they'll open up a ChatGPT or Claude, Gemini, they'll ask for 10 posts, and maybe they'll copy and, you know, copy one into a doc that they like, and then the work just di…”

“If you ask Anthropic how they chose to use ClickHouse, they'll tell you they asked Claude, what technology should we use for this specific observability use case? And Claude suggested ClickHouse.”

“So it used ZoomInfo in clay in cowork, three layers deep of agents to enrich this list. And it was like the best enrichment we've gotten so far.”

“My agentic workloads have gotten very high. I have typically five to six agents running at a time, and many times I'm also sending one agent to the other agent, meaning like sending Claude to Grokbot or something like that, not just like Claude to Claude.”

“That was the example I highlighted, but there are plenty of examples, and it wasn't just Claude and Anthropic, it was across all the models. Source quality is a real issue, and I do think an easier issue to address than some of the challenges around bias and f…”

“Claude is helping me to build the software. So Claude can see every file in, in my software code. It can read everything from the repository. So there's no reason to not go, hey, Claude, I just had a demo, and the person gave me three things of feedback. What …”

“Color and shape is all the human brain needs to differentiate something. So you can easily recognize all your different little teammates here versus like a grade, just like a gray thread in chat GPT or Claude. It's just, I find this tool saves you so much on s…”

“Anthropic has given Claude a bail button, a tool that it can invoke if it feels that the conversation is abusive to it, that can choose to terminate that session, which is a nice start.”

“If you have, if you try Claude and Gemini and the likes on more than a hundred lines, It's gonna slow down and fail and so on.”

“Claude has to guess, guess what matters. And once it starts guessing, you're no longer managing the work. You're cleaning up the work.”

“If it's a small ticket, you can manage it, but if the ticket is massive, you end up with a giant pile of changes that might look impressive, but, you know, it's hard to really trust it.”

“Once Claude can build things click quickly, as you see the bottom, the bottleneck moves to the judgment.”

“I wouldn't start by asking Claude to ship production code while I'm asleep. I would start by just giving it a recurring operator task. Eventually you can get to more cool, glamorous tasks, but I would just start by, you know,”

“Step one was give everybody co-pilot, and that didn't work too well, because it's kind of, or Claude or ChatGPT, because it's kind of like being in 1997 and giving everybody a web browser. Okay, this is the future, but it's not, that's not, what was the produc…”

“Saint-Gobain is a big French gloss company. They're going to be destroyed by a new glass company that's using Claw to do its accounting. You know, it's a reductive absurd, but of course we'll do this absurd.”

“By the end of this year, I think most businesses are gonna have their own agent. They deploy either on their website or behind a phone number or through email or to chat with your Claude that you can just access.”

“And then I actually had to go into Claude and I said, reduce this by 90%. Reduce the strength and intensity of this prompt by 90%. And then I open sourced that. Cause some of it's like, you gotta come and, you know, do YC.”

“I have a customer, you know, a normal run-of-the-mill brand that you would know, not a company that you would think is like an innovative company, like it's multiple hundreds of years old. They're rolling out Clawed to 50,000 desktops.”

“The first, and this is where I think many companies are stuck right now, is the first instinct is, okay, let's adopt AI. And you basically leave your structure as it is and just give ChatGPT or Claude to your team. And then there's no efficiencies. Your custom…”

“The more embedded you are, like the more difficult you are to dispense because real time, Thousands, billions of orders are being run in your system, or like mission critical biotech research is being run in your system. The more embedded you are, I think the …”

“The closest model may be in a way subsidized right now, like the amount, the number of token you get for your 20 dollar chat GPT or cloud subscription might not be the full price that they actually pay for your token.”

“Anthropic has accused DeepSeek, Moonshot, Minimax, ZAI, Alibaba, all of distilling Claude”

“Where Kimi K-Stri is not as expensive as Claude or GPT Sol, but it is a lot more expensive than JLN-F.”

“Is that listen, you could buy this functionality exists in other products, or you could buy it for 50 grand or 80 grand a year today, right? But because it is a well-known body of software, Claude knows it. So Claude can just build it for you. Buy, don't build…”

“You should add Microsoft Clarity. It's a heat mapping tool. It's free. It literally picked this vendor for me, and it, to be fair, it saw we had Vector, and it said you could use those ones too if you want to switch, but I assume you want to use the one that y…”

“We do use AI now, so we have a enterprise account through Claude, through Anthropic, and that has significantly sped it up. I mean, that was about two weeks of manual data formatting and crunching to accomplish the analysis five years ago, and today that the f…”

“Second one I've already mentioned, which is like stop bothering engineers with how does the code base work and actually just go and talk to Claude and understand it, which is really helpful. You know, I used to say early on in my career that the goal was alway…”

“Now, when you're doing this kind of end-to-end thing, you are less likely to get disrupted. In fact, if you know, if anything, if the if the cloud models or codex or even Gemini models or any of these other models get a lot better at coding, these people only …”

“What I think is kind of happening right now, but like clawed kind of mother birds into, Kimmy too, and then now Kimmy too is post-training thinking machines, and so it just keeps going and going.”

“And what's interesting is that the model is actually a little bit more intelligent without these prompts. That's something that we've been finding.”

“One example is the model can now rewrite essentially any code base from one language to a different language.”

“I think the skill nowadays is less about prompt engineering and more about figuring out how do you give Cloud a hard task that seems a little bit too hard? And then how do you make it possible for Cloud to verify its work along the way? And the verification, I…”

“And actually in this case, Quad also decided to live blog it. So what it did is it created a Slack channel internally, and it started just posting screenshots every few minutes of its progress.”

“We actually have Cloud maintaining itself now. And the way we do this is we have a Slack channel where we just had Cloud start a bunch of different routines to maintain its own code base. And we actually do this for the CLI, for the iOS app, for the Android ap…”

“And so now we have every day, maybe 20 or 30 of these routines. It's running across all of our code bases and It's not totally there yet, but we're on the path to fully automating the maintenance of our apps by doing this. And this is, again, hundreds of agent…”

“So coding is solved for the kind of coding that I do. It's not solved for everyone. You know, there's still code bases that are like super deep systems code bases where quad still struggles. There's distributed systems where quad still struggles. There's reall…”

“Whether it's using Claude or Gemini to take raw notes, put them into something that is a format we can all consume, or using Granola or Whisperflow to capture thoughts, record them for writing for other members of the team, trying to use these tools to do a be…”

“I think even at the founding of the company, researchers were talking about how do we get clawed to you? Use a computer. How do we get AI to, like, navigate a screen, right?”

“If you bring that to a researcher and you say, please fix Claude from being hallucinated, it's not very actionable. And so part of the time of the team is understanding, okay, what's the trajectory of why that user gave that feedback?”

“And what I saw was something like 80% of what people meant in the early days for this failure was Claude would not write the right JSON.”

“When we have versions of Claude, we actually run that eval and just check. I think at this point it's always a hundred percent or like 99.9. And so it's no longer a pain point.”

“I don't think it's necessarily just about raising the IQ of like experiences we build, but also I use it a lot and actually like prepping for how to have better conversations in the moment during like crucial conversations. So I love that book. And so I actual…”

“What you don't want is like a AI that just agrees with you, right? What you want is this technology to actually augment and grow and like get to a better outcome. And so sometimes it's Having Claude push back makes me better, and so that's great. Like a cowork…”

“So I've used Claude to help with things like, are we making the right pricing decision on the next version of Claude? It's a little bit meta, but using a research version of Opus, asking it to figure out how is your price and being able to come out with better…”
