> Half their agentic usage is coding. When that's your reality, you train for it. You optimize the tool use, the file editing, the multi-step workflows - because that's what your paying users are actually doing. Google doesn't have that same pressure.
I wonder if this is a strategic choice — anthropic has decided to go after the developers, a motivated but limited market. Whereas the general populace might be more attracted to improved search tools, allowing Google/openai/etc to capture that larger market
- limiting model access when not using claude code
- claude code is a poorly made product. inefficient, buggy, etc. it shows they don’t read the code
- thousands of open GitHub issues, regressions introduced constantly
- dev hostile changes like the recent change to hide what the agent is actually doing
However, they are very good at marketing and hype. I’d recommend everyone give pi or opencode a try. My guess is anthropic actually wants vibe coders (a much broader market).
