Will you consider it a stalemate if no party is able to make any further moves?
Btw a Chess Olympiad was declared drawn and shared winners after internet issues.

It doesn't read like that to me at all. This reads to me like Anthropic realizing that they have $1bn in annual revenue from Claude Code that's dependent on Bun, and acquiring Bun is a great and comparatively cheap way to remove any risk from that dependency.
Really? What risk is even there?
But the same logic applies. Youtube is not profitable without ads and would shut down.
If ChatGPT and AI is "just" supposed to be Youtube, sure. ChatGPT wasn't supposed to be just YouTube.
This is a poor analogy. Magnus Carlsen stays because chess consumers decide to pay for humans even though they are inferior to Stockfish. BigCorp will always pick machine over you if they can.
Yeah. Coding is not a sport. Even if it is (Leetcode competitions or something), as in chess, it is the top 100 or so that can make money and survive.

I'm a little confused about the relationship of Skills and just plain tools. It seems like a lot of skills might just be tools. Or, they might rely on calling sets of tools with some instructions.
But aren't the tool definitions and skill definitions in different places? How do you express the dependency? Can skills say they require command line access, python, tool A, and tool B, and when you load the skill it sets those as available tool calls?
Skills seem to have code packaged in. They have added pdf, excel support using skills.

I do think the big story here is how hyperfocused and path-dependent people got on MCP, when the actually-interesting thing is simply "tool calls". Tool calls are incredibly interesting and useful. MCP is just one means to that end, and not one of the better ones.
To clarify, MCP was also a Anthropic innovation.
