Anthro is having its Apple moment: too many customers means the company is always on the news, for better or worse.

When iPhones receive negative reviews it's not like only Apple screwed up; others did too, but they sell so much less than Apple that no one hears about them:

    "Apple violated my privacy a tiny bit" makes the news;
    "Xiaomi sold my fingerprint info to 3rd party vendors" doesn't.

Similarly, Anthropic is under heavy fire recently because frankly, Claude Code is the best coding agent out there, and it's not even close.

Anthropic's models are good. Claude Code isn't good.

find codex better by far in some cases

Lmao? seriously. Claude Code is epic levels terrible compared to opencode.

Can you elaborate?

how so?

what does the last one do?

"Added IS_DEMO environment variable to hide email and organization from the UI, useful for streaming or recording sessions"

from the changelog: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELO...


Hmmm, they already added this which has same functionality: CLAUDE_CODE_HIDE_ACCOUNT_INFO

Doesn't matter to me, as I stopped using Google AI a few months ago because of their lack of respect for my time when creating a freaking API...

what do you mean?


I don’t like the main developer (dax). He is too arrogant and self-righteous.

I am not saying that he is not, but do you have any references or dramas?

They're a LLM company that has claimed that 90% of code will be written by LLMs. Please don’t give them any excuses.

> The UI flickers rapidly in some cases

It's the worst experience in tmux! They lectured us about how the roots of the problem go deep, but I don't have this issue with any other CLI agent tool like Codex.


I agree Codex has a much nicer interface however I find 90% of the time the output just isn't quite as effective as what Claude is generating.

> Neovim has a decade old feature request for multiple clients to be able to connect to it. No traction alas.

Why cram all features into one giant software instead of using multiple smaller pieces of software in conjunction? For the feature you mentioned I just use tmux which is built for this stuff.

Also, OpenCode has been extremely unreliable. I opened a PR about one of the simplest tools ever: `ls`, and they haven't fixed it yet. In a folder, their ls doesn't actually do what you'd expect: if iterates over all files of all folders (200 limit) and shows them to the model...


JesuS, so many different ways for looping in a language is insane. And Racket takes it to the next level...

tbh I think Google should sell all the companies they bought because Google can't deliver any products anymore. There are product companies (hello OpenAI, Anthro) and then there are corporate companies. Google is the latter. Their attempts at making new products have been failure after failure recently:

Bard → Gemini → Jules → Antigravity (they can't even come up with a good product name)

Their GCP console is a mess. Wanna get a Gemini API? Good luck with that.

And where is the "internet through balloons"? Where's their quantum HPC? Where is half the stuff they demo every year to devs to prove that they're still relevant but never ship them? e.g., where is that smart glass they used in their demo last year that had Gemini in it and could analyze what you see? Where's their "calls any restaurant on your behalf" ML model they introduced many years ago?

Google has lost it, and to make things even worse, occasionally they poke at their successful products and googllify them too (YT likes disappearing, Gmail with Gemini, Google Search performing worse than Bing, etc.)


Without regard to the rest of your comment, with which I largely disagree, at least this one feature I can confirm still exists and works fine:

"Where's their "calls any restaurant on your behalf" ML model they introduced many years ago?"

It might not run on your LibreNut 9000, but it works on my Pixel.


This entire AI boom is happening because Google published their Attention Is All You Need paper and made transformers.

I thought antigravity was a great name, I assumed obliquely referencing xkcd

software is all about wrappers, isn't it? :)

conductor -> multiple claude codes/codexes -> multiple agents -> multiple tools/skills/sub-agents -> LLMs
