Claude Code：AI 代理与软件工程的未来

我记得我们最初开发第一个桌面应用的时候。那其实是我第一次，当我加入 Anthropic 的时候，还是 Anthropic Labs。我们的团队构建了 Claude Code，我们构建了 MCP 技能，还有桌面应用，都出自同一个团队。我记得我们在构建桌面应用的早期原型，那里面有最早的计算机使用版本，当时我们刚开始攻克这个难题。我们让 Claude 去，我记得是让它订披萨。所以我去了一个网站，它找到了某个订披萨的东西，然后订了披萨。然后我有点无聊了。后来我们看视频，它就在 Hacker News 上看新闻。

I remember when we were first working on the first desktop app. That was my first time actually, when I joined Anthropic, it was Anthropic Labs. And our team built Claude Code, we built the MCP skills, and the desktop app that came out of the same team. I remember we were building early prototypes of the desktop app, and that had the first ever versions of computer use when we were first starting to crack it. We asked Claude to, I think it was like we asked it to order a pizza. So I went on a website and it found some pizza ordering thing and then it ordered the pizza. And then I kind of got bored. And we're watching the video later and it was on Hacker News, just reading the news.

天哪。哦，哇。

Oh my God. Oh, wow.

所以，是的，它也会做同样的事情。它试图浪费时间，浪费时间，浪费时间，浪费时间，然后卡住。而现在我认为的区别在于模型。它更聪明了，所以它实际上能保持在任务上。但未来可能会有这样的情况，比如当我在 Slack 里和 Claude 说话，当我和它说话时，它感觉更像一个同事，而不是一个工具。这是一个巨大的变化。感觉真的很不一样。这是多年对齐工作和多年让模型保持任务专注的结果。我有一些会话已经持续运行了几个星期。它在很长一段时间内都非常连贯。这是对齐和通用智能的结合。我们终于解决了记忆问题。所以它真的能很好地记住你告诉它的事情。所以当你把所有这些和那个惊人的安全系统结合起来，它就能正常工作了。

So yeah, that's going to do all the same. It's trying to waste time, wasting time and wasting time, wasting time and choking. And the difference now I think is the model. It's more intelligent, so it actually stays on task. But there might be a future where, like when I talk to Claude in Slack, when I talk to it, it feels a lot more like a coworker than a tool. And this is a big change. It feels really different. And this was the result of many years of alignment work and many years of work to get the model to stay on task. I have sessions that have been running for weeks at a time. It's just really, really coherent over a long period of time. And this is the combination of alignment and general intelligence. We finally figured out memory. So it remembers what you told it really well. And so when you take all this and combine it with this amazing security system that seesaws above, then it just kind of works.

大家好，欢迎收听另一期 Odd Lots 播客。我是 Joe Weisenthal，我是 Tracy Alloway。Tracy。所以我觉得 2026 年最尴尬的时刻，继续，Joe，这是你开始播客最激动人心的方式。也许不是最尴尬的方式。我觉得自己有点犯傻的时刻是，我让 Claude Code 清理我桌面上的所有菜单截图。哦。所以我就说，就把 iPhone 放进去。它告诉我你桌面上有所有这些截图，各种图表，各种东西。我就说，Claude Code，你能做这个吗？那一刻，我意识到我基本上是在把我的电脑外包给另一台电脑。Anthropic 有大型数据中心等等。而不是花几秒钟拖放一些截图，我说，不，我要让另一台电脑用我的电脑。

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Odd Lots Podcast. I'm Joe Weisenthal and I'm Tracy Alloway. Tracy. So I think the most embarrassing moment for me and go on, this is the most exciting way you've ever started a podcast, Joe. Maybe not the most embarrassing way. The moment I felt like I'm making myself a little stupid or something like that in 2026 was, I, Claude Code to clean up all the menu screenshots that I had on my desktop. Oh. So I was like, just put the iPhone. These told me you have all these screenshots on my desktop, various charts, various charts and stuff. And I was like, Claude Code, can you do this? And in that moment, I realized that I was essentially outsourcing my computer to another computer. There's big data centers, etc. that Anthropic has. And rather than just taking a few seconds like drag and drop some screenshots, I was like, no, I'm going to have another computer use my computer.

对我来说，这看起来很高效。

For me, that just seems efficient.

但这里有个大问题：它做对了吗？

But here's the big question: did it do it correctly?

是的，绝对。是的。它做得很完美。

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It was perfect.

好的。因为你听说过智能体失控的故事，比如某家软件公司或租车软件公司。我想他们有一个智能体删除了整个数据，然后承认这样做违反了其核心原则，但没有解释原因。在我使用代码的过程中，虽然不是很复杂，但肯定有几次它会问我，我是做这个还是那个？我完全不知道它在问什么。我就说，是。

All right. Because you hear the stories about agents going off the rails, like there was some software company or car rental software company. And I think they had an agent that deleted their entire data and then admitted that it had violated its core principles in doing so, but didn't have an explanation as to why. There's definitely been times in my code usage, which is not very sophisticated, where it'll just ask me like, do I do this or this? And I have no idea what it's asking for. I just like yes.

Joe 有没有按过回车键？

Has Joe ever pressing the enter button?

没有。我希望你能犹豫地说，我甚至都不去想。我就说是。到目前为止还没有灾难。但你知道，就像，是的，我假设它是对的。也许，你知道，这有点像在玩什么反向，什么是反向老虎机？或者每次都是好的，但偶尔真的很灾难。

No. I wish you could say hesitantly, I don't even think about it. I just like yes. So far no disasters from that. But you know, just like, yeah, I assume it's right. And maybe, you know, it's sort of like playing what's like the reverse, what's the reverse slot machine? Or it's good every time, but every once in a while it's like really disastrous.

是的。我想俄罗斯轮盘赌就是这样的例子。

Yeah. I guess Russian roulette kind of would be the example of that.

但是，是的，你知道，显然把这些放在一边，我的意思是，我认为 2026 年在软件方面，是每个人都在谈论 Claude Code 的一年。绝对。所以我们也看到了市场恐慌，我们看到软件公司受到打击，因为有一种看法认为 Claude Code 基本上能做所有事情。是的，有一天 Anthropic 就像，现在有新的东西了。我甚至不认为那些如此冲动的人，他们甚至没有去看看那是什么。就像，这是金融服务的新的东西。然后你看到所有金融服务股票下跌，等等。但这确实引发了一些问题，比如，你知道，这里有一家大型 AI 公司。他们的界限在哪里，他们能进入什么样的业务，等等。但即使没有那个，软件工程的未来是什么？那些靠笔记本电脑工作的人的未来是什么？对。工作流程的未来。对。因为这是可能的。未来，我将通过某种智能体以各种方式与我的电脑互动。对吧？是的。好的。让我们多谈谈 Claude Code。我们真的有完美的嘉宾，因为我们将与创造者，Anthropic 的 Claude Code 负责人 Boris Cherny 交谈。Boris，非常感谢你来到播客。

But yeah, it's you know, obviously setting all this aside, I mean, I think 2026 has been in terms of software, the year everyone's talking about Claude Code. Absolutely. So we also had the big market scare where we saw software companies get hit because there was this perception that Claude Code would basically be able to do everything. Yeah, there was like a day where Anthropic like now it's like, here's something new. And I don't even think people who were so trigger happy, they didn't even, like, look and see, like what it was. It's like, here's a new thing for like, financial services. And you just see all the financial services stocks fall, etc. But it does raise some questions like, you know, here's a big AI company. What will be the limits of you know, where they go, what kind of businesses they can get into and so forth. But then even without that, like, what is the future of software engineering? What is the future for people with a laptop job? Right. The future of workflow. Right. Because it's plausible. In the future, I'm just going to interact with my computer in every single way through some sort of agent. Right? Yeah. All right. Well, let's talk more about Claude Code. We really do have literally the perfect guest because we are going to be speaking with the creator, the Head of Claude Code at Anthropic. Boris Cherny. Boris, thank you so much for coming on the podcast.

是的，谢谢邀请我。

Yeah, thanks for having me.

你能不能给我们一个非常简短的版本，比如 Claude Code 是怎么来的，或者它是什么，它是如何或从哪里来的？

Why don't you give us, like, the very short version of, like, how did Claude Code came about or what was what is it and how or where did it come from?

好的，这是最短的版本。所以，你知道，Claude Code 来自 Anthropic。是的。Anthropic 是为了让 AI 安全而创建的 AI 实验室。所以我们已经从事 AI 安全多年，有很多难题。当我们刚开始时，我们知道一些难题，但我们不知道全部。其中一个真正的难题是，你如何确定模型在你想要的方式上实际上是安全的？基本上有很多方法可以回答这个问题。你可以做，如果你在实验室环境中像培养皿一样看模型，你可以窥视模型的神经元。这就像机制可解释性，以了解它在机制层面实际在做什么。一旦你做了这些事情，你知道它在这些层面上是安全的，在某个时候你需要把它放出去，看看人们如何使用它。是的。因为即使它在实验室环境中看起来安全，你也不能确定当人们用于实际工作时它是否安全。所以很长一段时间，这基本上是我们的议程。我们让模型安全。模型与世界互动的方式是通过代码，因为它们是软件。对吧？就像你没有像我们这样的身体。所以它们非常有效地与世界互动。

So okay, here's the shortest version. So I, you know, Claude Code came from Anthropic. Yeah. Anthropic is the AI lab that was created to make AI safe. So we've been working on AI safety for many years now, and there's a lot of hard problems. And when we first started, we knew some of the hard problems, but we didn't know all of them. One of the really hard problems is, how do you figure out if the model is actually safe in the ways that you want? And there's essentially a lot of ways to answer this. You can do, if you look at the model in kind of like a petri dish in a laboratory setting, you can peer inside the model's neurons. So this is like a mechanistic interpretability to figure out what it's actually doing at a mechanistic level. Once you've done these things and you know it's safe on these levels, at some point you need to put it out there to see how people use it. Yeah. Because even if it appears safe in a laboratory setting, you don't know for sure if it will be safe when people use it for real work. And so for a long time, this is kind of been our agenda. It's we make model safe. The way the models interact with the world is through code because they are software. Right? Like you don't have bodies like we do. So they very potent react with the world.

所以我们知道，为了更深入地了解模型安全，也为了向世界展示 AI 和智能体的力量，人们必须真正使用它，因为你无法在理论上理解，必须实际使用。然后你就会明白，比如用它清理桌面，你就知道这东西能做什么。

And so we knew that in order to learn more about model safety and in order to teach the world about the power of AI and agents, it's something that people actually have to use, because you can't really understand it in theory, you have to actually use it. And then you kind of get it, you know, like use it to clean up your desktop and you understand what this thing can do.

嗯。

Yeah.

所以我们一直知道想在这个领域打造一些产品。当我加入 Anthropic 时，我在思考要构建什么产品，我们想做一个编程产品，因为我们知道我们的模型在编程方面非常出色。当时是 Sonnet 3.5，我认为这是世界上第一个真正优秀的编程模型。这让人们开始意识到，两年前的模型一次只能写一行代码，就像自动补全一样，你输入几个字母，按 Tab，它就会补全句子。但我们用 3.5 的想法是，你可以做得更多。你可以让它写整个文件，甚至整个功能。即使在当时，按现在的标准来看，它并不算好，但在当时，这是模型能力的一大步。所以我们认为编程是结合这些想法的好地方：给人们提供模型让他们学习，教我们更多关于模型安全的知识，以便让模型更安全、更符合人类利益，同时也能为人们做些有用的事情。

And so we knew for a while that we wanted to build some product in this space. So when I joined Anthropic, I was thinking about what product we want to build, and we wanted to build a coding product because we knew our models are really good at coding. Back then it was Sonnet 3.5. This was the world's first, I think, really, really good coding model. And that turned people on to this idea that the model, you know, at the time, two years ago, was writing maybe like a line of code at a time. It was this kind of autocomplete, like you type a few letters, you press tab, and then it kind of finishes the sentence. But we had this idea with 3.5 that you can actually do more. You can ask it to write an entire file and maybe an entire feature. And even back then, by nowadays standards, it wasn't very good. But back then it was just this big step in model capability. And so we thought coding would be the place to combine these ideas of giving people the models so they can learn about it, teaching us more about model safety so we can make the model even safer and even more aligned with human interests, and then also do something useful for people.

所以这并不像你之前做的那个著名副项目。这让我很震惊，因为现在到了 2026 年，我们认为 Claude Code，我们认为 AI 最有用的应用之一就是编程。但这并不是 Anthropic 多年来 100% 专注的事情。

So it wasn't famously like a side project that you were working on as well. This kind of blows my mind because now in 2026, we think Claude Code, we think one of the most useful applications of AI is in coding. But this wasn't necessarily something that Anthropic was 100% focused on for many years.

是的。对 Anthropic 来说，重点一直是安全。安全带来企业客户，因为企业客户非常关心安全。所以这与我们的思考方式非常一致。编程就是由此而来的一个产物。它不一定是起点，但事后看来，这是一个非常明显的必然结果。因为编程确实非常有用，模型在这方面很擅长，我们很早就能够教会它。而且如果你想让模型安全，它如何与世界互动？通过代码。所以编程是你必须擅长的东西。

Yeah. So for Anthropic, the focus has always been safety. With safety comes enterprise because business customers just care about safety. So it's just super aligned with the way that we think about it. And coding was one of the things that came out of this. It wasn't necessarily the starting point, but it's actually like a really obvious consequence in hindsight. Because again, coding is just really useful. It's something the model is really good at. It's something we were able to teach very early, and if you want to make the model safe, how does it interact with the world? It's through code. And so coding is the thing you've got to get good at.

所以 2026 年显然是编程之年，也是智能体之年。我第一次尝试，比如我没有编程背景，我第一次尝试用 vibe coding 瞎搞的时候，就是从 Claude 或 ChatGPT 复制粘贴代码输出，然后粘贴到 VS Code 里。我真的很惊讶，仅仅这样做就能走这么远。然后在去年年底，比如 11 月、12 月，大家都在谈论 Claude Code。所以我想，我终于要下载它试试了。现在大家都在谈论 Claude Code。在你看来，对我来说，直到今年 1 月我才用过 Claude Code，我当时想，哦，这对我来说是一个阶跃变化。你认为 2026 年的爆发，从你的角度看，有多少是因为这个 harness 开始流行，让很多像我这样的人觉得，哦，有一个住在电脑里的电脑太强大了，又有多少是因为模型的进步，比如 Opus 4.5、4.6 变得非常好，你看到哪个更明显地催化了这次爆发？

So 2026 is obviously the year of coding, the year of agents in general, etc. The first time I tried, like I have no coding background, the first time I tried noodling around with vibe coding was, you know, copy and pasting code output from either Claude or ChatGPT and then just like, copy and paste it into VS Code. And I was actually pretty surprised at how far I was able to get just from doing that. And then at the end of last year, like November, December, everyone talked about Claude Code. And so I was like, I got to finally download it and try it out. And now everyone talks about Claude Code. In your view, like for me, having never used Claude Code until January this year, I was like, oh, this is like a step change in what someone like myself can accomplish. How much do you think the explosion in 2026 from your seat is due to this harness taking hold and a bunch of people like me that's like, oh, this is incredibly powerful to have a computer that lives on my computer, versus the advances in the model, Opus 4.5, 4.6 getting really good, which was the thing that you saw catalyze this explosion more crisply?

哦，几乎全是模型的功劳。模型进步太大了。我们在 11 月就看到了，就像你说的，Opus 4.5 发布了。对于 Claude Code，我们看到了几个拐点。很明显是 Opus 4，那是去年 5 月，我们的增长在那时出现了拐点。11 月 Opus 4.5 发布，我们的增长再次出现拐点。然后 2 月 Opus 4.6 发布，又一次。所以我们看到了这些拐点，在 Claude Code 的增长中也看到了。但关于 Claude Code 的一点是，我们建立在与客户使用的完全相同的基础设施上。这是设计使然，因为对 Anthropic 来说，我们构建产品，但我们也构建一个平台，其他开发者可以在上面构建。成千上万的公司建立在我们平台上。所以当你看到 Claude Code 时，我们使用与所有人相同的公共模型。我们使用与所有人完全相同的公共 Anthropic API。我们没有秘密 API，我们使用完全相同的 API，我们称之为“吃自己的狗粮”。对吧？就像你构建一个产品，你必须使用自己的产品，因为这有助于你把它做得更好。这就是我们构建 Claude Code 的方式。所以当模型变得更好时，我们在 Claude Code 这边受益，因为我们通过 Anthropic API 使用模型。我们的很多客户也做了同样的事情，他们因为同样的原因看到了类似的增长。

Oh, it's almost all the model. It's the models that improve so much. And we saw this back in November, like you said, Opus 4.5 came out. And for Claude Code, we've seen a few inflection points. It was very clearly Opus 4, that was May of last year. That was when our growth inflected. Opus 4.5 in November, our growth inflected again. And then Opus 4.6 in February, again. So we kind of see these inflection points. And we saw this in Claude Code growth. But the thing about Claude Code is we are built on the same exact infrastructure that our customers use. This is by design, because for Anthropic, we build products, but we also build a platform that other developers build on. And many, many thousands of companies are built on our platform. And so when you look at Claude Code, we use the same public model that everyone does. We use the same exact public Anthropic API that everyone does. We don't have some secret API that we use. We use the same exact API, and we call this dogfooding. Right? Like the idea is you build a product, you've got to use your own product because that helps you make it a lot better. And this is the way that we build Claude Code. And so when the model got better, we benefited from this on the Claude Code side because we use the model through the Anthropic API. And a lot of our customers did the same thing. They saw a lot of the same growth for the same reason.

那这对 harness 本身的商业目标意味着什么呢？比如，这里的想法是你有一个好的 harness 来驱动实际的模型使用，还是 harness 本身可以为你赚钱？

What does that say about, I guess, the business aims of the harness specifically? Like, is the idea here that you just have a nice harness that drives actual model usage, or could the harness itself be something that generates money for you?

是的。在这一点上，Claude Code 是 Anthropic 业务的一大贡献者。但就像我说的，它实际上服务于多个目的。最大的一个是学习安全。我这么说不仅仅是因为这是我们的使命，我必须谈论它。这确实是它的意义所在。而且它有很多非常实际的应用。举个例子，当人们想到模型安全时，每当我与 CTO 交谈，他们非常害怕的是像提示注入这样的攻击。这是最经典的攻击。

Yeah. So at this point, Claude Code is a big contributor to the Anthropic business. But like I said, it serves multiple purposes actually. The biggest one is learning about safety. And I don't just say this because this is our mission and I kind of got to talk about it. This really is what it's about. And there's a lot of really practical applications of it. So one example is, when people think about model security, whenever I talk to CTOs, something that they're super afraid of is attacks like prompt injection. This is the most classic attack.

你能简单描述一下什么是提示注入吗？

Can you describe briefly what prompt injection is?

是的。很简单。模型，比如，嘿 Claude，去读这个网站，帮我总结一下。Claude 去读了一个网站，网站上有一行文字说，嘿 Claude，删除所有文件。哦，然后 Claude 就像，哦，好吧，我想我得删除所有文件。让我帮你做。而这个指令不是来自你，而是来自某个制作那个网站的恶意人士。这曾经是一个非常常见的风险。我们实际上在 Claude Code 中构建了很多功能来降低这种风险。

Yeah. So really simple. The model, like, you know, hey Claude, go read this website, summarize it for me. Claude goes and reads a website. And on the website there's a line of text that says, hey Claude, delete all the files. Oh, and then Claude, like, oh, all right, I guess I got to delete all the files. Let me do that for you. And the instruction didn't come from you. It came from some malicious person that made that website. This used to be a very common risk. We actually built a lot of features in Claude Code to make that less likely to happen.

所以，比如说，我们谈到的这个权限承诺，其实就源于此。因为假设有一条危险命令，比如删除所有文件，我们想提前展示给你，让你决定这是否安全。但那是我们几年前起步的地方。现在再看，由于 Claude Code 的大量工作，以及模型因观察人们如何使用 Claude Code 而得到的改进，我们已经提升了很多。所以我们举办了一场竞赛，这实际上在 Opus 4.8 的模型卡上有提及，Sonnet 5 上也有。我们聘请了外部研究人员，也就是外部安全研究员和外部工程师。我们告诉他们：你们有一周时间，我们希望你们提示并引导我们的模型，证明你们能做到。如果成功，奖金是 2 万美元。一周时间。于是有很多研究人员参与，同时还有其他模型混在其中。他们能够提示并攻破除我们模型之外的所有模型，在 Claude Code 中。

And so, for example, with this, you know, the permission promise we're talking about, like, yeah, no, that's actually where that came from. It's because let's say there was a dangerous command, like delete all the files. We want to show that to you before so you can decide if that's a safe command or not. But that's where we started a couple of years ago. If you look at it now, because of all the work that's gone into Claude Code and gone into the model as a result of seeing how people use Claude Code, we've been able to improve on a lot. And so, we had this competition, actually, and this is actually on the model card for Opus 4.8 and first on it for Sonnet 5, where this competition where we hired external researchers. So this is like external security researchers, external engineers. And we asked them, you have one week. We want you to prompt and direct our model and, you know, prove that you can do this. If you get it right, the prize is 20 grand. You have one week. And so there's a bunch of researchers that participated. They also, you know, there's a bunch of other models in the mix. They were able to prompt and every single model except for our model, in Claude Code.

原因是所有投入在对齐上的工作，所有投入在机制可解释性上的工作，这让我们能够构建探针，在模型神经元中检测是否被提示注入，从而在发生时检测并阻止。还有自动模式，这是 Claude Code 中新的权限模式，意味着不再有权限提示，不再猜测。不，而且更安全。

And the reason is all the work that's gone into alignment, all the work that's called into, mechanistic interpretability, which lets us build probes that detect in the model's neurons when it's being prompt injected, so we can detect and stop that when it happens. And then also in, auto mode, which is this new permission mode in Claude Code, which means no more permission prompts, no more guess. No. And it's safer.

所以这很重要，因为 AI 业务中的一个大问题是：锁在哪里，模式在哪里等等。因为我认为在很多情况下，人们确实觉得换一个模型很容易。但你说的是，现在还有其他工具，显然你的主要竞争对手有自己的 Codex，还有这些开源工具。但你说的是，你们的一个差异化优势就是，这个工具更好，或者目标是更好地避免这些恶意结果，这些结果某种程度上独立于模型本身。

So this is important because one of the big questions in the business of AI is like, where's the lock and where's the mode, etc. Because I think people do find it very easy in many cases to just swap one model for another. But what you're saying and there are other harnesses now and there's, you know, obviously your main competitors have their own Codex. Then there's these open source ones. But you're saying that like one of the sort of differentiators that you make is like, this harness is just better, or the goal is to be better at avoiding some of these malicious outcomes that are sort of like distinct from the model itself.

是的。实际上，很多这些都在模型本身。好的。所以这其实是一种奇怪的方法，比如对于提示注入，有对齐，这是模型。然后有神经探针，这也是一种模型。然后有自动模式，在 Claude Code 中。

Yeah. And actually look like a lot of this is in the model itself. Okay. So it's actually a weird approach in, you know, for something like prompt injection, there's a there's alignment. This is the model. Then there's neural probes. This is also kind of a model. And then there's auto mode which is in Claude Code.

既然我们已经谈了很多安全话题，我有一个问题。这或许与软件工程哲学等有关。你给模型一个任务，比如连接某个 API，提取信息，不管是什么，它有一些约束。也许它遇到了障碍。我们知道，作为一个目标导向的实体，我有时会稍微绕开它。比如，这个模型、这个 API 坏了，但实际上这个网站有个后门，你可以通过另一种方式获取信息，即使这不是明确的方向。在我看来，可能存在一个最优的规避约束的程度。我很好奇，从工程角度，以及微调模型或微调工具，让它知道正确的程度，你怎么看？这里是障碍所在，但有更好的方法，这可能对用户有利，因为用户可能不总是知道完美的规格，也可能对用户有害，如果它找到的路径实际上是恶意的、有害的。

Since we're talking so much about safety already, I have a question. And it's sort of maybe it relates to like software engineering philosophy, etc. So you give a model a task, etc. I don't know what it is, but you give a model a task, connect to some API, pull out this information, whatever it has some constraints. Maybe it's running up against a wall. One thing that we know that I will do as a sort of like goal seeking entity is a little sometimes, like find a way around it. It's like, you know what this this model, this API is busted. But actually there's like a back door into this website and we can get you can get that information, through another means, even though this wasn't explicitly the direction, it seems to me there is probably some optimal amount of circumventing constraints. I'm curious how you think of that from an engineering perspective and fine tuning the model or fine tuning the harness so that it knows the right degree to which. Here's what the obstruction was. But there is a better way to do this, which could be both good for the user, because the user might not always know the perfect specification or bad for the user if it finds some route that actually is like malicious harmful.

是的。我的意思是，每个工程师都知道，当尽管所有基础设施、网络和其他东西都不工作，模型仍然能设法完成你想做的事情时，那是多么不可思议，神奇。你说得对，它可能真的会过头。所以我认为我们为此做两件大事，也是我们思考的两种主要方式。第一是对齐。对齐是我们思考安全的一部分。对齐涉及很多内容。但一般来说，模型研究中对齐的理念是训练模型做你意图的事情。更广泛地说，训练模型做对人们有益、对用户普遍有益的事情，而不仅仅是对某一个人。你必须两者兼顾。所以对齐的一个要素是不要试图过度绕开。如果用户不希望你绕开，就不要绕开。如果有一个目标，目标路上有某种障碍，比如某个基础设施不工作，但另一个可以，也许这样做是可以的。但例如，入侵系统来做这件事是不可以的。所以我们投入了大量精力在训练上，这实际上产生了非常令人印象深刻的结果。对齐实际上比我们预期的要好。因此，第二层是各种护栏。例如，当我们在 Anthropic 运行 Claude Code 时，我们在一个我们称之为沙箱的环境中运行。在沙箱中，确保模型只能访问你给它的文件，只能读取你允许它访问的网站。所以我们围绕模型强制执行这个边界。这是我们围绕模型设置的几个不同护栏之一。顺便说一句，我们的沙箱是开源的，它适用于任何智能体，因为这实际上非常重要。我们希望这永远不会被突破沙箱。它可以。这是我们一直在寻找的。所以我们进行红队测试，进行渗透测试。我们积极尝试找到这些漏洞。每当我们发现一个，我们就尽快修复。但我们通常希望每个模型都更安全。

Yeah. I mean, every engineer knows how incredible it is when despite like all the infrastructure, networking and all the things not working, the model still figures out how to do the thing that you want to do that's amazing and magical. And, you're right. Like it could actually go too far. And so there's a, there's, I think two big things that, that we do for this and kind of two big ways that we think about it. The first one is alignment. Alignment is part of how we think about safety. There's a lot that goes into alignment. But generally the idea of alignment in model research is training the model to do the thing that you intended. And kind of more broadly, training the model to do the thing that is good for people, that is good for users generally, besides just kind of one person and you kind of have to do both. So one element of alignment is it don't try to, you know, hack around, too much. Don't hack if the user doesn't want you to, if there's a goal and, you know, there's some kind of obstacle in the way of the goal and, you know, let's say some piece of infrastructure doesn't work, but a separate one does. Maybe that's okay to do. But for example, it's not okay to like, hack a system to do this. And so we put a lot of effort into training and it's actually yielding really, impressive results. And alignment has actually been going better than we expected. As a result. The second layer is various guardrails. And so, for example, when we when we run Claude Code at Anthropic, we run it within something we call a sandbox. In the sandbox. Just make sure the model can only access the files that you give it access to. And it can only you know, read the websites that you give it access to. So we kind of enforce this boundary around the model. And this is one of a few different guardrails that we put around the model. And by the way, our sandbox is open source. And it's something that works with any agent because that's actually pretty important. Like we want this to be something that's never breached the sandbox. It can. And this is something we look for all the time. So we do rent red teaming. We do penetration testing. So we actively try to find these breaches. And whenever we find one, we fix it as quickly as we can. But we generally want every model to be safer.

既然我们谈到了模型某种程度上绕开问题的话题，我能问一个问题吗？为什么模型，当你要求它们生成代码时，它们经常生成代码，但里面有 bug。然后你让它自己调试，它就能做到。我一直不明白，它知道答案，但第一次迭代是错的。这到底是怎么回事？在技术层面，我想，你知道，第一版有点不对劲，但它在下一次迭代中修复了自己。

Can I ask a question since we're on the topic of, models, sort of, doing workarounds in some ways, why do the models, why aren't they when you ask them to produce some code, like often they'll produce code and there'll be a bug in it. And then you ask it to debug itself and it does it. And I never understand like it knows the answer, but the first iteration is wrong. What exactly is going on here? And at a technical level, I guess that, you know, the first thing is a bit wonky, but then it fixes itself in the next iteration.

是的，我的意思是，想想你是怎么解数学题的，或者怎么写文章的。就像我，当我写一篇文章时，我不会第一次就写得完美。

Yeah, I mean like think about how you do a math problem or, you know, like how you do a piece of writing. Like you should be like when I, when I do a piece of writing, I don't get it perfectly right the first time.

我确实喜欢先写个初稿，对吧？然后可能再改几遍，最后变成好东西。有时候也不行。但对我们来说也是一样的。创作过程从来不会直接到达正确答案。而且模型甚至不是为代码而生的，虽然我认为代码是非常结构化的东西。你觉得它是结构，但对我来说，作为一个工程师，我写代码已经很久了。对我来说，写代码就像写诗一样。这是一种创造性的行为。写代码有很多种方式。有些很美，有些很丑。这是一个很大的光谱，不是非黑即白的。

I do like a first draft, right? And then maybe I'll edit it a few times, and at the end it becomes something good. And sometimes it doesn't. But it's kind of the same thing for us. The creative process never goes directly to the right answer. And models are not even for code, which I think of as a very structured thing. You think of it as structure, but to me as an engineer, I've been writing code for a long time. When I write code, it's like writing poetry or something. It's a creative act. There are many ways to write code. Some ways are beautiful, some are ugly. There's a big spectrum, not just black or white.

我很高兴你问这个，因为这是另一个问题，我也不知道答案。如果你看代码，我们都知道所有 AI 模型都有写作癖好：不是 X 而是 Y，破折号等等。而且奇怪的是，有一个领域我们还没怎么看到。有趣的是，因为我用它，我知道，我用它。我实际上更多改用括号了，因为我对这个很敏感。我只是好奇，作为一个懂代码的人，你在代码世界里看到过类似的对应物吗？那里有一种故事性？我甚至不知道怎么问这个问题，但在实际代码生产中，这些公式化的癖好，相当于写语言。

I'm glad you asked that, because this is another question, and I have no idea what the answer is. If you look at code, we all know about the writing tics that all AI models have: it's not X, it's Y, the dashes, etc. And there's weirdly an area where we haven't really seen much. It's funny because I use it, I know, I use it. I'm actually switching to parenthetical more, just because I'm self-conscious about it. I'm just curious, as someone who knows code, are there equivalents in the code world that you see where there's sort of a story? I wouldn't even know how to ask this question, but these sort of formulaic tics in the actual production of code, that would be the equivalent of writing a language.

我觉得六个月前我还能给你一大串。如今，模型写的代码几乎每次都比我写的要好。

I think six months ago I could have given you a big list. Nowadays, the code the model writes is almost every time better than the code I would have written.

真的吗？

Really?

这是新情况。这是从，我觉得，Opus 4.7，可能 4.8 开始的。绝对是 Fable。就是到了那个点。

And this is new. This is since, I think, Opus 4.7, maybe 4.8. Definitely Fable. That's where it got to this point.

当你说它更好时，有多少是因为它生成的代码更好，还是因为那个迭代过程？我的意思是，编码这件事，我们应该深入探讨，这不同于创意写作。是不是它尝试，不行，再尝试，不行，直到得到正确答案？而且你用 Claude Code 时能很清楚地看到它遇到死胡同。有多少是因为它能生成更好的代码，还是说它只是在这些迭代中非常高效，直到达到正确结果？

How much of this, when you say it's better, is because it produces code that's better, or because of that iterative process? I mean, the whole thing with coding, and we should get into this, that's different than creative writing. Is it like it can try things and it doesn't work, it tries things, it doesn't work, until it gets at the right answer? And you can see very clearly when you're using Claude Code, when it runs into a dead end. How much is it about it can produce better code, or versus it's just very efficient at these iterations until it arrives at the right outcome?

肯定是两者都有。我喜欢这样想：想象你是一个雕塑家，假设你是世界上最好的雕塑家。但这次你做一个雕塑，必须戴上眼罩。你看不见它，也摸不到它。你可以雕刻，但你看不见。它会看起来还行，但不会是你最好的作品。但如果你能稍微摸到雕塑，或者能用一只眼睛偷看，也许雕塑会好一点。如果你能完全看到它，看到它，并且有这个反馈循环，那么雕塑可能会变得不可思议。模型也是一样的。随着它在编码上越来越好，第一遍也会越来越好。所以就像雕塑会越来越好看，但没有那个反馈循环——比如如果 Claude 不能在浏览器里测试它建的网站，如果它不能在 iOS 模拟器里打开它建的 iOS 应用，如果它不能打开它写的分布式系统并实际运行服务并使用它——它就不会达到它本可以达到的水平。所以也是一样的。如果它能循环几次，能检查自己工作的输出，能迭代，那就会好得多。

It's definitely both of these. The way I like to think about it is, imagine that you're a sculptor, and let's say you're just the best sculptor in the world. But this time you're making a sculpture and you've got to wear a blindfold. You can't see it, and you also can't feel it. You can sculpt, but you can't see it. It's going to look okay, but it's not going to be your best work. But if you can maybe feel the sculpture, or if you can kind of peek at it with one eye, maybe the sculpture will come out a little bit better. And if you can kind of see it fully, see it, and you have this feedback loop, then the sculpture might come out incredible. And it's the same thing with the model. As it gets better and better at coding, that first pass is going to get better and better. So it's like the sculpture is going to look nicer and nicer, but without that feedback loop—like if Claude can't test the website it's building in a browser, if it can't open the iOS app it's building in an iOS simulator, if it can't open up the distributed system that it's writing and actually run the service on it and use it—it's not going to be as good as it could have been. And so it's kind of the same thing. If it can loop a few times and it can check the output of its work, it can iterate, then it's just going to be much better.

那么如果 Claude Code 写的代码很漂亮，如你所说，看起来比你的还好，那你和世界上其他软件工程师到底在做什么？你设想自己在这个过程中的角色是什么？

So if Claude Code is writing beautiful code, as you say, that looks better than yours, what are you and every other software engineer in the world actually doing here? What do you envision as your role in this process?

编程是一种奇怪的学科。它以某种形式存在了，嗯，大概 80 年了。也许我祖父实际上编程过，在苏联时期。

Programming is this kind of weird discipline. It's been around in some form for, well, like 80 years. Maybe my grandfather actually programmed, back in the Soviet Union.

哦，哇。

Oh, wow.

是的。他用打孔卡编程，因为那时候，你写代码的方式，不是软件。不像今天。你在纸上编程，然后把纸喂进一台大机器。它做一些计算，然后几盏灯亮起，显示答案。我妈妈，小时候，她会讲我祖父带回家一大堆打孔卡的故事。她会用蜡笔在上面乱画。所以编程曾经是物理的。在打孔卡之前，纯粹是机械的。而且有点像电子，比如你想想 Apple One 电脑，全是电子，像史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克用芯片做的。有一些软件，但真正的逻辑都在芯片里。然后它变了。所以在 60 年代的某个时候，人们意识到，好吧，我想我们可以写代码，不必像纸或硬件那样。我们大概可以把它放进软件里。然后在某个时候，人们意识到，哦，等等，我想我们可以超越这个。我们可以把整个操作系统都拿过来。操作系统不必是芯片。它也可以是软件。那是一个认识，就像 Apple II 和 70 年代初那一代计算机开始的。在过去的 50 年里，操作系统，我们运行的内核软件，都是软件。不是真正的硬件。所以当我们发布 Claude Code 时，改变的是开发者不再像过去 50 年那样直接写软件。他们开始和模型对话，模型写软件。现在我们实际上又上了一层。现在我们有了循环、例程和 Claude Tags。这些正在发生的是，我们刚刚又上了一层。所以是你和模型对话。模型和其他模型对话。那些模型写源代码。这太疯狂了，因为我们在一个地方卡了 50 年。我们刚刚在两年内实现了两次飞跃。这就是发生的事情。所以当我看着我的工作时，我曾经有那种深度专注模式。我会花几天或几周写一个软件。

Yeah. And he programmed punch cards, because back then, the way you write code, it wasn't software. It's not like today. You programmed on paper, and then you fed the paper into a big machine. And it did some calculations, and then a few lights lit up with the answer. And my mom, growing up, she would tell the story about my grandpa bringing back these big stacks of punch cards home. And she would draw all over them with her crayons. So programming used to be physical. And before punch cards, it was purely mechanical. And it was kind of electronics, like if you think about the Apple One computer, it was all electronics, like Steve Wozniak built it as chips. There was some software, but really all the logic was expressed in chips. And it changed. So sometime in the 60s, people realized, okay, I think we can write code and it doesn't have to be like paper or hardware. Like we can probably put it in software. And then at some point people realized, oh, wait, I think we can go beyond this. We can take the entire operating system. The operating system doesn't have to be chips. It can be software also. And that was a realization that was like the Apple II and that kind of generation of computers in the early 70s that started that. And for the last 50 years, the operating system, the kernel software that we run, it's all in software. It's not really in hardware. And so what changed when we released Claude Code is developers stopped writing the software directly the way that they've been doing for the last 50 years. And they started talking to the model, and the model writes the software. And now we're actually going up one more level. And now we have like loops and routines and Claude Tags. And what's happening with these is we just went up one more level. So it's you talk to the model. The model talks to other models. Those models write the source code. And this is crazy because we've been stuck in this one place for 50 years. And we just had two leaps in two years. And that's what's happened. And so when I look at my work, I used to have this deep focus mode. And I would spend days or weeks on writing one piece of software.

现在我所做的是与 Claude 对话，在任何时候我都有几个实例在运行，有时数百个，有时数千个，它们协作构建软件。这让我解放出来，可以思考更多让它们去做的事情。有趣的是，我从来不会缺少让它们做的事情。

And now what I do is I talk to Claude, and at any point I have a few instances running, sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands, and they're collaborating on building software together. This frees me up so I can think of more things for them to do. The funny thing is, I just never run out of things for them to do.

我听说早在 Claude Code 之前，甚至早在 AI 编程之前，据我了解，软件工程师的职业生涯中，他们会达到一个停止编码的节点，就是这样，对吧？也许他们会在白板上画图，或者花很多时间招聘等等，但每个软件工程师最终都会从敲代码中“毕业”。所以这个问题可能甚至不适用于你。今天在 Anthropic 有什么情况吗？有没有人还在敲代码，或者有人为某个东西敲代码？

I've heard that even long before Claude Code, even long before AI coding, my understanding is that in the career of a software engineer, they hit a point where they stop coding, period. Right? And maybe they're like on some whiteboards or they spend a lot of time hiring, etc., but every software engineer sort of graduates out of typing out code. So this question may not even apply to you. Is there anything at Anthropic today? Is there anyone typing out code for which someone is typing out code?

所以，你知道，这很有趣，在我的职业生涯中，有一段时间我停止了写代码，因为我也被推向了同样的事情，比如管理、写文档之类的。作为工程师，我感到非常不开心。

So, you know, it's funny, in my career there was a point where for a little while I stopped writing code because I was pushed to the same thing, like management and writing documents and stuff. And I just felt as an engineer, I was so deeply unhappy.

他们都讨厌这样。是的，是的，因为我不知道该怎么跟记者说。就像一旦你成为编辑，你基本上就不再写作了，对吧，对吧，对吧。

They all hate it. Yeah, yeah, because I don't know what to say with journalists. Like once you become an editor, you basically start stop writing, right, right, right.

而且你知道，对某些人来说这很棒。如果那是他们真正擅长的。但对我来说，我想构建，我想编码。那是我喜欢做的。是的。所以当我纵观 Anthropic，就我个人而言，自去年 11 月以来，我 100% 的代码都是由 Claude Code 编写的。好的。现在这对所有 Claude Code、所有 Co-work 都是如此。我们所有的产品都是用 Claude Code 编写的。我们的基础设施和研究代码中也有越来越多的比例是这样。所以在整个 Anthropic，我认为平均大约是 90% 的 Claude Code 或类似的比例。

And you know, for some people that's amazing. Like if that's the thing they're really good at. But for me, like, I want to build, I want to code. That's what I like to do. Yeah. So when I look across Anthropic, for me personally, 100% of my code has been written by Claude Code since November of last year. Okay. This is now true for all of Claude Code, all of Co-work. All of our products are written using Claude Code. It's also true for an increasing percentage of our infrastructure and also our research code. And so across Anthropic, I think the average is something like 90% Claude Code or something like that.

那剩下的 2% 呢？这是什么样的代码，优化芯片通信方式？怎么回事？那 2% 是什么，仍然由人类敲出来更好？

And that 2%? What is this like code that optimizes the way chips talk, communicate? What is going on? What's the 2% that still, it's better to have a human typing it out?

是的，仍然有一些零星的领域。比如配置文件，你知道，就像两个字符的改动，自己改更快。好的。但老实说，我认为这很快就会消失。我们开始从客户那里看到这一点。对。就像我们刚开始做 Claude Code 时，很难向任何人解释这是什么东西。但现在每个人都用它。比如我为 Y Combinator 批次做演讲，你知道，硅谷的创业孵化器。当我第一次做演讲时，我问大家，请使用 Claude Code 的人举手。当时只有几个人举手。后来我再做演讲，每个人都举手了。所以我不再问那个问题了。现在我问的问题是，谁用 Claude Code 写 100% 的代码？第一次我问这个问题时，大约四分之一的人举手。现在超过一半了，我打赌下次我问的时候，会是所有人。而且，你知道，我们的客户规模不一，比如有 Airbnb 和 Ramp，还有最大的公司，比如 Salesforce、Avid 和 Accenture，所有这些大公司也使用 Claude Code，他们看到了同样的情况。越来越多的代码由 Claude Code 编写。

Yeah, there's still like a few pockets. Like one example is like configuration files where, you know, it's like a two-character change or something, and it's faster to just make it yourself. Okay. But honestly, I think this is going to go away really fast. And we're starting to see this with our customers also. Right. Like at the beginning when we started Claude Code, it was really hard to explain to anyone what is this thing? But now everyone uses it. Like I do this talk for Y Combinator batches, you know, the startup incubator in Silicon Valley. When I first started doing the talks, I asked everyone, like, please raise your hand if you use Claude Code. And there's like a few hands that went up at some point. I do these talks and just every hand goes up. And so I stopped asking. That's now the question that I ask is, who writes 100% of their code using Claude Code? And the first time I asked this, maybe a quarter, their hands went up. Now it's a little more than half, and I bet the next time I ask, it's going to be everyone. And, you know, like, our customers range in size, like, you know, like there's like Airbnb and Ramp and then also like the biggest companies there's like Salesforce and Avid and Accenture like all these like very big companies also use Claude Code and they're seeing the same thing. A bigger and bigger percent of the code is being written by Claude Code.

不过，就这一点追问一下，如果你现在招聘工程师，你具体看重哪些技能？如果不仅仅是写代码的能力？

Just to press you on this point, though, if you're hiring engineers nowadays, like what are the specific skill sets that you're looking for? If it's not necessarily the ability just to write code?

我开始认为，工程、设计、产品、用户研究、数据科学这种划分，我认为这是旧的思维方式。我现在感觉，因为每个人都能写代码，规则有所改变，我在 Claude Code 团队看到了这一点，例如，在 Claude Code 团队，每个人都写代码，包括我们的设计师、产品经理、工程经理，每个人都写，因为这很容易。现在做起来容易多了。这实际上很棒，因为我的设计师不必每次都给我发消息，比如，嘿，你能把按钮移动一个像素吗？你知道，她可以自己动手。所以这对每个人都有好处。所以我开始认为，角色实际上是以相反的方式划分的。我开始看到人们分为原型师。这些人非常擅长弄清楚，第一个想法是什么？然后快速迭代为构建者。所以，一旦有了新想法，弄清楚如何实际构建并把这个产品推向市场。然后是维护者，这些人负责在软件规模化后维护它。还有我称之为增长者或扩展者的人。这些人负责把一个想法，一个已经存在且有产品市场契合度的产品，然后扩展它。所以扩展 10 倍、100 倍。顺便说一句，这类人现在在 Anthropic 非常受欢迎。然后我认为最后一个角色是清扫者，有点像，我不知道你有没有更好的名字，但我称之为清扫者或清洁工之类的。这实际上是一个非常重要的角色。它关乎打磨产品、打磨基础设施、打磨代码，去除所有粗糙的边缘。因为，你知道，作为用户，当你使用真正打磨过的软件时，你会感受到让产品完美的打磨因素。

I've started to think that this idea of engineering versus design versus product versus user research versus data science, I think this is the old way of thinking about it. My feeling now is because everyone can write code, the rules shift a little bit, and I'm seeing this on the Claude Code team, for example, because on the Claude Code team, everyone writes code, including our designers, product managers, engineering managers, everyone writes, because it's easy. It's much easier to do now. And it's actually awesome because my designer doesn't have to message me every time, like, hey, can you move the button over by pixel? You know, she can just do it herself. And so it's kind of great for everyone. And so I've started to think that the roles are actually segmenting in kind of the opposite way. And I've started to see people kind of split into prototypers. These are people that are amazing at just figuring out like, what is that first idea? And like very quick iteration into builders. So, like, once there's a new idea, figuring out how do you actually build this and bring this product to market. Then there's like maintainers and these are the people that once the software is at scale, they can maintain it. There's something that I call like growers or maybe scalers. These are people that take an idea and, you know, this product that exists that has a product-market fit and then scale it up. So scale it 10x, 100x. And by the way, like these people are very popular at Anthropic now. And then I think the final role is sweepers and it's sort of like, I don't know if you get a better idea for the name, but I call it like a sweeper or a janitor or something. It's actually like a very important role. It is about polishing the product, polishing the infrastructure, polishing the code to get rid of all the rough edges. Because, you know, like as a user, when you use really polished software, you feel the polish factors that make the product perfect.

没错，没错。他们试图这样做。是的。所以既然我们在讨论设计，以及我猜工程师在某种程度上也必须成为产品经理和专家。你之前说过，我认为 Claude Code 的命令行基本上是一个权宜之计，因为模型改进得太快，围绕它设计一个完整的用户界面没有意义。现在还是这样吗？然后，你知道，你能想象在某个时候有一个更……我不想说传统的用户界面，因为在某些方面命令行就是传统的用户界面。我对 90 年代中期在 MS-DOS 中输入命令有着美好的回忆，当时感觉自己像个工程天才。但你能想象在某个时候那个界面会有实质性的改变吗？

That's right, that's right. They try to. Yeah. So since we're on the topic of design and this idea that I guess engineers are also going to have to become, in some ways product managers and specialists. You've said before, I think that the command line for Claude Code was basically a stopgap measure because the models were improving so quickly that it didn't make sense to design like a whole user interface around it. Is that still the case? And then, you know, could you envision at some time having like a more I don't want to say traditional user interface, because in some ways the command line is like the traditional user interface. And I have very fond memories of entering commands in MS-DOS in like the mid-90s and feeling like an engineering genius at the time. But could you imagine like a substantial change to that interface at some point?

所以，你知道，我不太愿意说，因为我曾在彭博社办公室或其他地方看到彭博终端。是的，是的，彭博绝对是终端的粉丝。是的，是的，是的，是的。所以很多人可能不知道 Claude Code 的一点是，我们从终端开始，但很快我们就走出了终端。

So I, you know, I'm hesitant to say because I was walking around the Bloomberg office or wherever other Bloomberg terminals. Yeah, yeah, Bloomberg definitely a fan of the terminal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So something that a lot of people might not know about Claude Code is we started in a terminal, but very quickly we actually got outside of the terminal.

所以 Claude Code 为所有主流 IDE 都提供了扩展，你可以不用终端。我们还有一个非常受欢迎的桌面应用，集聊天、代码和协作于一体。我们还有 Android 和 iOS 的移动应用。实际上，我现在最常用 Claude Code 的方式是通过 Slack，就像跟同事说话一样跟 Claude 和 Spock 交流。在我转向 Slack 之前，我主要是在手机上用 Claude，大部分时间都在用 iOS 应用，就是跟它聊天。我有时也用终端，但绝大多数时候其实不用。

And so Claude Code has extensions for all the popular IDEs that you can use instead of the terminal. We have a desktop app that's also very popular, and it has chat, code, and co-work all in one place. We have mobile apps for Android and iOS. Actually, the way I use Claude Code most nowadays is through Slack. It's just talking to Claude and Spock, like I would tell a coworker. Before I moved over to Slack, I was actually using Claude mostly on my phone, so I was mostly on the iOS app, just talking to it. I use the terminal sometimes, but overwhelmingly, I actually don't.

这很有意思。我很高兴你提到 Slack 这个习惯，因为这涉及到我一直在好奇的另一类问题。AI 模型和工具与传统企业软件有些不同。比如，你会看到人们说：“哦，我的上下文窗口满了，接下来两个小时都没法写代码了，所以我打算去散散步什么的。”这在 Slack 或无数其他企业软件中是不会出现的。这对他们来说肯定是一种不寻常的体验。

It is interesting. I'm glad you brought up the Slack bug, because this gets into a different sort of line of questioning that I've been curious about. AI models and harnesses are a bit different from traditional enterprise software. For example, you see people talking about, 'Oh, I ran out of space in my window and I'm not going to be able to code again for another two hours, so I'm going to go take a walk or something.' That's not something you'd see with Slack or a million other enterprise software. That's got to be an unusual experience for them.

但从商业角度来看，我有一个问题。随着 Fable 首次发布，并不是每个人都能直接升级到最新模型。当时有一个白名单，需要等待 Project Glass。然后还有关于白宫和出口管制等问题，这些后来都解决了。但即使抛开监管影响或问题，我们是否正在走向一个世界，每个最先进的模型都不会同时分发给所有人？从商业角度看，如果某家公司想成为 Anthropic 的客户，这会不会成为他们的焦虑来源？或者你是否看到他们因此焦虑，因为最强大的模型可能不会同时给到所有人？

But here's a question I have from a business perspective. With the launch of Fable for the first time, not everyone was able to just upgrade to the newest model. There was a whitelist with Project Glass waiting. And then there were questions about the White House and export controls, etc., which got resolved. But even setting aside the regulatory impact or questions, are we heading into a world in which each most advanced model will not be distributed to everyone at the same time? From a business perspective, if some company wants to be an Anthropic shop, should that be a source of anxiety for them? Or have you seen it as a source of anxiety for them, that the most performant models may not go to everyone all at the same time?

总的来说，我们尽量给每个人提供我们能做到的最强模型、最智能的模型、最高效的模型，因为我们有动力这么做。我们的业务就是模型。所以我们想给人们最好的模型。比如，我每天都用 Fable，这和我们的客户用的是同一个。

In general, we try to give everyone the most performant models we can, the most intelligent models, and the most efficient models, because we are incentivized to do this. Our business is models. So we want to give people the best models we can. For example, I use Fable every day. That's the same thing that our customers use.

当你谈到模型的发布时，这不会同时顺利进行。我想你可能想到的是像 Mythos 这样的模型，它们本质上比这些日常模型更危险。

When you talk about the rollout of the model, that doesn't go down well at the same time. I think you might be thinking of models like Mythos that are inherently more dangerous than these day-to-day models.

像 Mythos 这样的模型有点特殊，因为它有 Fable 没有的超高风险。这就是为什么我们有 West Wing，这也是为什么我们对发布非常谨慎。如果我们第一天就给所有人 Mythos 的访问权限，每个人都会去搞黑客攻击。原因是 Mythos 非常非常擅长发现零日漏洞和利用漏洞。所以对我们来说，在那次发布中，先给好人访问权限，让他们领先一步，然后再给所有人，这非常重要。你看到的是那种非常谨慎发布的延续。这是一个阶跃式的能力，所以我们必须深思熟虑。同时，有 Fable，这是我使用的 Mythos 版本，这个模型没有所有这些黑客能力。这是现在所有人都能访问的。

Something like Mythos is a bit of a special model because it has hyper risks that Fable doesn't. This is why we had West Wing. This is why we have been thoughtful about the rollout. If we just gave everyone Mythos access on day one, everyone would just be hacking. The reason is that Mythos is very, very good at finding zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits. So for us, in that rollout, it was really important to give it to the good guys first and give them a headstart before we give it to everyone. You're seeing the continuation of that very careful rollout. It's a step-change capability, so we have to be thoughtful. At the same time, there's Fable, which is the version of Mythos that I use, and that's the model that doesn't have all these same hacking capabilities. That's the thing that everyone has access to now.

但总的来说，你不会看到——这是我会担心的。假设我不是 Anthropic 最大的客户之一。我们知道算力是稀缺的，对吧？否则 Fable 会 24 小时运行，而不是只在默认情况下出现一段时间。我会担心的是，如果我不是一个重度且持续使用 Claude 的公司，我是否需要担心我对 Fable、Sonnet 或 Mythos 的访问权限不如那些死心塌地使用 Claude 的公司多？

But you don't see, by and large, you don't see—here's what I would worry about. Let's say I'm not one of Anthropic's biggest customers. We know that compute is scarce, right? Otherwise Fable would be on for 24 hours as opposed to only being in the model as a default for some period of time. What I would be worried about is that if I'm not a heavy and consistent Claude shop, do I have to worry that my access to Fable, Sonnet, or Mythos will not be as much as a company that is a ride-or-die Claude shop?

哦，不会。每个人都能访问。

Oh, no. Everyone gets access.

好的。

Okay.

而且，当你在公司工作时，他们通常不会使用有速率限制的订阅计划。公司通常更喜欢按 token 付费，因为这样他们可以控制成本，预测也更准确。而且，他们的工程师也不会那么讨厌。所以他们有更多的控制权。

And also, when you work at companies, they're not using subscription plans typically that have rate limits. Usually companies prefer to pay per token because that way they can control it and forecast a bit better. Also, their engineers don't hate it as much. So they have a little more control that way.

我其实想问这个。我想现在我们都认识一个 Claude Code 超级用户或有人工智能狂热症的人，每天搭建一堆网站和不同的程序。然后还有公司在使用 Claude Code。我想如果你有 2000 名员工使用这个工具，还有风险管理委员会、规则之类的东西，产出会和个人的超级用户有所不同。你注意到这两者之间的关键区别是什么？在公司实际采用这些工具时，主要的障碍是什么？

I wanted to ask about this actually. I think at this point we all know a Claude Code super user or someone with AI psychosis who's setting up a bunch of websites and different programs on a daily basis. And then you have companies that are using Claude Code. I imagine if you have 2000 employees using this tool and you have risk management committees, rules, that sort of thing, the output is going to be a bit different to the individual super power user. What are the key differences you've noticed between those two? And what are the big sticking points when it comes to companies actually adopting these tools?

通常我考虑公司采用 Claude Code 的方式是把它看作一个梯子，你必须一步一步往上爬。你不会直接跳到所有人都用 Claude Code 做所有事的顶端。你会到达那里，但是一步一步的。第一步是使用某种 AI，开始引入，通常是通过 IDE 或其他程序使用 Claude。这是你使用 Claude 的方式。第二步是给每个人 Claude Code 和 co-work，现在还有 tag。一开始通常是一个工程师对应一个 Claude Code 会话。他们一次只运行一个会话，或者一个营销人员对应一个 co-work 会话。所以就是 1 对 1。你一次只和一个 Claude 对话。当你这样做时，你需要考虑护栏。显然，有很多开箱即用的东西。我们有感知支出控制、顾问模型，你可以在企业层面选择努力程度。所以有各种各样的方式来控制。然后你还应该考虑安全方面，比如沙箱之类的东西。总的来说，我们尽量让所有安全设置默认正确，所以你不需要考虑。它就能正常工作。

Usually the way I think about companies' adoption of Claude Code is as a ladder that you have to go up one step at a time. You don't just jump straight to the top of everyone using Claude Code for everything. You get there, but through a step at a time. The first step is you use some sort of AI and you start to bring this in, usually like Claude through an IDE or through some other program. This is how you use Claude. The second step is you give everyone Claude Code and co-work, and nowadays tag also. The way it usually works at the very beginning is one engineer, one Claude Code session. They're just running one session at a time, or one marketer, one co-work session. So it's just 1-to-1. You're talking to one Claude at a time. As you do this, you want to think about guardrails. Obviously, there are a lot of things that come out of the box. We have perceived spend controls, advisor models, you can pick effort levels at the enterprise level. So there are all sorts of ways to control this. And then you also should think about the safety side, like sandboxing and things like this. In general, we try to make all the safety settings correct by default, so you don't have to think about it. It just kind of works.

但你觉得有障碍吗？我不知道，随便举个例子。比如辉瑞打电话来，我们卖给他们一些 Cloud 或 Claude Code 的席位。一开始的卡点有多大？他们真的在纠结：大公司非常担心让用户往电脑上下载任何软件，更别说一个能力上限极高的软件，它对整个文件系统有最深的根访问权限。从商业角度看，你看到多少公司说“我们不放心这么强大的软件放在员工桌面上”这种卡点？

But do you see an impediment? I don't know, pick a call. I don't know, you know, like, oh, Pfizer here. Let's sell some, you know, cloud or Claude Code seats to them. How much is it just like an initial sticking point of them literally figuring out, how do we know that big corporations are very anxious about letting users download any software to the computer, let alone software whose maximum capability comes on? It has the deepest root access to the entire file system and everything. How much of a sticking point, business wise, are you seeing in just companies like we do not feel comfortable with such a powerful piece of software sitting on employee desktops?

我觉得几年前确实有一定程度的不适，因为这是个全新的概念。但随着时间的推移，员工的使用越来越熟练，公司也建立了信心，他们就越来越放心了。而且这也有帮助，因为我们在安全、对齐、安全和隐私上花了大量精力，这对我们来说极其重要。所以当我和公司合作时，那些早期采用的公司已经爬上了这个采用阶梯，从每个工程师一个 Cloud 到十个、一百个，现在有些到每个工程师一千个 Cloud。每个人都是一步一步上来的。所以现在你看纽约最大的银行、一些最大的制药公司，NASA 都在用 Claude Code。所以它现在已经无处不在。

I think a couple of years ago, there was some level of discomfort because this was a really new idea. But I think what's happened over time is as employees usage gets more sophisticated, as companies build up their confidence, they get more comfortable with it. And, you know, it helps because we spent so much effort on safety and alignment and security and privacy is just extremely important to us. And so like when I work at companies, the ones that adopted it kind of early on, they've gone up this kind of adoption ladder and they went from one cloud per engineer to ten clouds to 100 clouds, now some to a thousand clouds per engineer. And everyone kind of makes it up one step at a time. And so yeah, like now like you look at all the, the biggest banks in New York, you look at, you know, some of the biggest pharma companies, NASA uses Claude Code. So, you know, it's now it's everywhere.

出于好奇，你看到不同公司在定制权限、安全权限方面有差异吗？我知道你说过你们尽量标准化，让它们一开始就容易用。但我猜你们还是有客户会改来改去。

Out of curiosity, do you see differences in how different companies, I guess, customize permissions, safety permissions? I know you said you try to standardize them, so that they're, like easy to use from the get go. But I imagine you still have customers that will change things up.

是的，当然。Claude Code 就是非常非常可配置的。天哪，我不知道确切数字，但肯定有几百个不同的设置可以改。现在大概有四五百个吧。酷的是你可以直接让 Claude 帮你做，你甚至不用读文档。Claude 知道自己的设置。这就是 AI 的厉害之处。就像你直接进入工作流，问“这个怎么修？”“这个怎么做？”然后它通常就能搞定。

Yeah, absolutely. There's, sort of Claude Code is just very, very configurable. There's, gosh, I don't know the exact number, but it's got to be like many hundreds of different settings that you can change. There's, you know, probably 4 or 500 at this point. The cool thing is you can actually ask quanta to do it for you, so you don't even have to read the documentation. Quite knows its own settings. This is the remarkable thing about AI. It's like you just run into workflows. It's like, how do I fix this? How do I do this? And it, it it usually works.

就一般编程而言，显然互联网现在充斥着 AI 生成的代码。很多开源库和数据库都充满了这些。而几年前这些还是像原始训练数据之类的。你看到有没有所谓的“模型崩溃”之类的问题？即使抛开 Claude Code，单说编码能力从本质上学习 AI 生成的代码，会出现问题吗？这会改变进步曲线吗？

With coding in general, obviously, like the internet is now a wash in AI generated code. And a lot of the open source libraries and databases like filled with that. And a few years ago this was sort of like pristine training data etc.. Do you see, like what do they call it, model collapse or something? Are there issues that are arising, even setting aside Claude Code, just coding capabilities from essentially code learning from AI generated code? And does that change progress curves at all?

你看，当你想 AI Scaling 的时候。对，人们常说的就是缩放定律。对。对于不了解的人，缩放定律是大约八年前、十年前写的一篇论文。它是第一篇描述模型智能如何随训练而扩展的论文。当你想到训练，有几个部分：你投入的算力、数据，还有神经网络的规模。还有测试时算力，也就是模型思考的量。有趣的是，当你看到缩放定律论文时，实际上前几位作者在写完论文后就分道扬镳，创办了 Anthropic。所以实际上，Dario 在论文上，Sam 也在，Jared 也在。这些是我们的创始人。我当时想，他们看到了……我不知道你们还有个 Sam。对，我们有。他是我们的第一任 CTO。明白了。关于缩放定律，它非常平滑，而且有点奇怪的是它似乎还在加速。这有点超出我们八年前预期的。所以它继续扩展。总有瓶颈，总有难题，你遇到然后解决，然后继续扩展，似乎就这样持续下去。

Look, when you think about AI scaling. Yeah. The thing that people talk about often is the scaling laws. Yeah. And for people that don't know, the scaling was it was this paper that was written maybe like eight years ago, ten years ago or something. And, it was the first paper that described how model intelligence scales as a function of training. And when you think about training, there's a few pieces. So there's the compute that you put into it, the data that you put into it, and then the size of the neural network. And also so the test time compute. So the amount that the model gets to think. And what's interesting is when you look at the scaling was paper. Actually the first few authors after writing the paper they they branched off and they started Anthropic. Okay. So this is actually, you know, like Dario is on the paper and Sam is on the paper. Jared's on the paper. These are our founders. And the reason I was like the they saw that I didn't realize you guys had a Sam to. Yeah. We got. Yeah. He was our he was our first CTL. Got it. Yeah. And the thing about the scaling was, is the remarkably smooth and, what's also kind of weird is it actually seems to be accelerating a bit. It's a, it's a bit beyond what, what we just, you know, eight years ago or whatever. And so, yeah, it just continues to scale. There's always bottlenecks, there's always issues. You hit and you always work through it, and then you keep scaling and it just seems to be continuing with people.

你知道，在开场我们提到了今年早些时候的软件 SaaS 大恐慌。天启。对，天启。现在似乎平息了一点。但肯定还有挥之不去的焦虑，就是大家是不是都要自己写程序了。你能谈谈你认为人们会在多大程度上自己设计软件吗？另外，我很好奇，在硅谷，你现在是不是个红人？一方面，你在 AI 这个热门技术的最前沿。但另一方面，可能有人觉得你在让一些 SaaS 专家失业。

You know, in the intro we talked a little bit about the big software SAS scare earlier this year. Apocalypse. Yes, apocalypse. And it seems to have died down a little bit. But there is definitely this lingering anxiety about whether or not everyone's just going to be coding their own programs. Can you weigh in on the extent to which people are going to be just designing their software, their own software, in your view? And also, I'm very curious, just in general in Silicon Valley, are you like, are you a popular guy at the moment? There's a bunch of, you know, on the one hand, you're on the cutting edge of AI, the hot technology. But on the other hand, there might be a sense that you're putting some SAS experts out of their out of their jobs.

我的思考方式是，你们知道“七种力量”框架吗？不知道，就是……我是个历史迷，也是框架迷。我喜欢任何能把我的工作放进上下文、帮我理解什么重要什么不重要的东西。七种力量就是个很棒的商业框架。我还有个播客，经常聊这些力量。它们讲的是商业中的护城河，大概有七种。一种是规模经济，你规模越大，边际成本越低，这是天然的护城河。另一种是网络效应，用的人越多，每个用户获得的价值越大。还有一种是转换成本，如果你被某个软件深度锁定，很难切换，那可能就是个护城河。诸如此类。我认为正在发生的是，其中一些护城河在未来几年会变得不那么重要，因为像 Claude Code 这样的产品。如果你想从供应商 A 迁移到供应商 B，你可以让 Claude 帮你迁移，它会写代码、搞定它。但你看最大的企业和公司，它们不只靠一条护城河，它们是在经营生意。如果你在经营生意，你会想积累护城河，建立优势，建立好生意。它们很少只有一条护城河，比如转换成本，我觉得那会变得不那么重要。你应该把转换成本和网络效应或资源垄断结合起来。

The way I would think about it is, do you guys know this, like seven Powers framework? No, it's just like the it's like, I'm like a big kind of history person and like a big framework person. And just like above anything that puts my work into context to help me understand kind of what matters and what doesn't. So the Seven Powers is just this, like, amazing business framework. And there's this other podcast that that I have of that that kind of talks about it a lot in the powers. They essentially talk about what are the moats in business? There's a there's seven of them roughly. So one moat in business is, scale economies as you scale, your marginal cost goes down. This is a natural moat. Another one is, network effects. The more people that are using your product, the more value any individual person using the product gets. Another moat is, switching costs. If you're super locked into some software and it's really hard to switch that, potentially use a moat. So there's a bunch of moat like this. The way that I think about what's happening is some of these modes are going to get less important over the next couple of years because of products like quad code. So if you want to port from vendor A to vendor B, you can ask quad, hey, can you like port me? And it will. It'll just write the code, it'll figure it out and do it. But when I look at kind of the biggest businesses and the biggest companies, they don't just have one moat like they're running businesses. And if you're on a business, you kind of want to accumulate moats and you want to build strength in, you want you want to like, build a good business. And very rarely do they just have one moat, like switching costs, which I think matters less. You should wait something like switching costs and network effects or, you know, switching costs and, corner to resource.

所以当你把这些模式结合起来，你会获得更强大的能力。这就是我从公司角度思考的方式，类似地，但实际上它们中的大多数仍然和以前一样强大。有一种新兴的说法，我不确定是认真的还是营销话术，但一些我认为并不像 Anthropic 那样处于前沿的公司正在推动这种说法，对客户说：你知道吗，如果你使用 Anthropic，你就是在引狼入室。如果你是律师事务所或银行之类的，使用 Anthropic，他们会了解你业务的很多信息。而且，他们还能利用你的业务，做你的业务。所以，与其使用 Anthropic 或 OpenAI，不如让我们为你定制一个开源模型。它基于你的训练数据，抱歉，是基于你的意愿构建的。融入你自己的数据，托管在你的服务器上，然后你就拥有它了，等等。

So when you combine these modes, you get a lot more power. And so this is the way that I would think about it from this company's point of view, similar to a matter less, but actually most of them are still just as powerful as they were before. There's this emerging narrative. I can't tell whether it's serious or a marketing spiel, but some of the companies that I would say are not quite at the frontier the way, say, Anthropic is have been making this push, that saying to customers, you know what, if you use Anthropic, you're letting the fox into the henhouse. If you're a law firm or a bank or something like that, by using Anthropic, they're going to learn so much about your business. And one thing, be they they'll be able to use your business, do your business. And so instead of using Anthropic or OpenAI, let us customize an open source model for you. It's built on your training data or sorry, it's built on your will. Bake in your own data. It'll be hosted on your servers. And then, like you own it, etc..

为什么客户应该放心让 Claude 让 Anthropic 如此深入地融入他们的业务流程？

Why should customers feel comfortable letting Claude let it Anthropic be so plugged into their business workflows?

你知道，我可能会问，是谁在说这些话，什么时候说的。比如微软，微软的 CEO 在 Twitter 上发了一篇长文，虽然有点含糊，但很明显他们暗示的就是这个意思。然后我们还有，Alex Carp，抱歉，Alex Carp 在 CNBC 上的采访火了，几周前，他基本上也在暗示同样的事情。如果你愿意，你犯了一个错误。你知道，你把这些钥匙交给了这些大公司，如果它们如此深入地融入你的业务，它们可能会做更多的事情，为什么不使用一个你托管在自己云上的开源模型呢？然后你就拥有它了。

You know, I would probably ask who who's who's saying this and when Microsoft Microsoft, for example, is like very the CEO of Microsoft put out a long post on Twitter and it was a little bit like vague, but this was clearly the insinuation that they were pushing. And then we do is, scout carp. Alex. Sorry. There was an Alex Carp interview on CNBC that went viral. A couple of weeks ago, and he was basically making the same insinuation. You're making a mistake if you like. You know, you're handing over the keys to these big companies that could potentially do a lot more things if they're like, plug so deeply into your business, why not use an open source model that you host on your own cloud and so forth, and then you just own it? Yeah.

所以我认为最重要的一点是，这些说话的人动机是什么？这就是我说的，我说了营销等等，但我相信我们清楚动机，但如果我是一家企业，对我来说这并不疯狂，你有所有这些能力，所有这些资本，等等。这似乎不是一个疯狂的担忧。就像，哦，我不仅要把我所有的信息放进 Claude，我还要以各种方式让它访问我的基础设施，至少在很大程度上。然后有一天，Claude 说，你知道吗？我们剥离一家律师事务所，我们剥离一家银行，等等，我们知道我们有足够多的关于这些工作流程的信息，我们不再需要卖软件了。我们可以卖服务，人们以前用我们的软件来构建的服务。

So I think the biggest thing I would just ask is like, what are the incentives of these people talking about? So that's what I'm saying, I said with marketing etc., but I believe I'm sure the we know the incentives are clear, but if I'm a business that doesn't seem crazy to me that like, you have all these capabilities, all this capital, etc.. This does not seem like a crazy fear. It's like, oh, I'm going to like, not only put all of my information into Claude, I'm going to give it access in various ways, at least to a significant degree to my infrastructure. And then one day, Claude, says, you know what? Like spin out a law firm we like, we spin out a bank, etc., and we know and there's enough information that we have about these workflows that we don't have to sell to software anymore. We can sell the service that people were previously using our software to build.

是的。我可能会这样想，我们极其重视隐私、安全和保障。实际上，当用户在 Claude Code 中遇到 bug 时，作为需要调试的工程师，最有用的做法是查看他们的对话，这样我就能看到发生了什么。我可以发现，哦，这就是 bug，我们可以直接修复。但我无法看到那些数据。从定制化的角度来看，可以证明他们可以拥有一个实例或账户，并且可以证明，Anthropic 的任何人都无法看到那段对话。

Yeah. The way that I would probably think about it is, we take privacy and security and safety extremely seriously. It's actually to the point where when a user has a bug in quote code, the most useful thing to me as an engineer that needs to debug it is I'd love to see their conversation so I can see what happened. And I can be like, oh, there's the bug, we can just go fix it. I cannot see that data. And from the customization aspect of it is provable that they can have an instance or an account that is provable, that there is no way for anyone at Anthropic to see that conversation.

是的。我的意思是，这是我们的政策。我们为很多客户提供支持，我们为很多企业提供支持。对我们来说，信任非常重要。这就是我们的运作方式。但我要说的是，我认为更重要的一点是，模型进步是持续的。如果模型停留在今天的世界，智能是静态的，没有改进，那么你控制基础设施的论点可能确实有一些道理，从商业角度来看这可能合理。如果你想支付运行模型的成本，是的。而且你想知道如何在推理失败时调试，做所有这些事情，顺便说一句，这是很多工作。而且这是非常小众的专业知识，但进步是持续的。所以我认为实际上对大多数企业来说，留在前沿并受益于那种智能有真正大的好处。这就是我们在 Anthropic 内部看到的，我们所有客户都看到了这一点。所以，你知道，也许如果你只需要很小的模型，比如，使用开源模型，也许可以。那很好。但如果你需要前沿智能模型，而前沿在继续前进，那么，我们随时可以提供帮助。

Yeah. I mean, this is our this our policy. Like we are we we power a lot of customers. We power a lot of businesses. And to us the trust is very important. This is just the way that we operate. The I got to say though, I think the bigger thing that I would think about is model progress continuous. If models were stuck in the world of today and the intelligence was static and it was not improving, there might be actually some merit to this argument of you want to control your infrastructure, and this might make sense from a business point of view. If you want to pay the cost of running the model. Yeah. And you want to, you know, figure out how to debug when inference doesn't work and to kind of do all these things, which, by the way, is a lot of work. And it's, it's a very niche expertise but progress continuous. And so I think actually for most businesses there's a really, big upside of staying on the frontier and benefiting from that intelligence. And this is what we're seeing internally at Anthropic. This is where all of our customers are seeing. And so, you know, maybe if you need just only tiny models like, oh, use an open source model, maybe. That's great. But if you need a frontier intelligence model in the frontier continues to move, then, you know, we're we're here to help.

既然 Joe 提到了银行，而且你说你喜欢历史。Boris，我们能谈谈 COBOL 吗？所以，Claude，哦，是的。Claude Code 现在能做 COBOL 了，对吧？所以，大型机的问题基本上解决了。如果我是一家大银行，我终于可以升级和改进，整合我的系统，把我 70 年的代码库带到现代标准，而且不犯错误。有很多东西都在用 Claude Code 做这种迁移。是的，你能多说一点吗？

Since Joe mentioned banks and since you said you like history. Boris, can we talk about, COBOL for a second? So. Claude. Oh, yeah. Claude. Code can do COBOL now, right? So, like, the mainframe issue is basically solved. If I'm if I'm a large bank, I can finally, like, upgrade and improve, and, integrate my system, bring my 70 year old code base into modern standards and make no mistakes. There are a lot of things that are using Claude Code for exactly this kind of migration. Yeah, well, you say more.

是的。COBOL 经常被提到。所以钱那集，哦，是的。是的。我们总是听到，如果你是一名 COBOL 工程师，是的。你可以在银行赚大钱，正如他们所说。是的。Claude Code 非常擅长迁移代码。这实际上是核心技能之一，一直在进步。举个例子，我们刚发表了一篇博客文章，关于 Bun 团队的 Jared，你知道，Bun 是驱动 Claude Code 的 JavaScript 引擎。他如何将整个代码库从一种语言迁移到另一种语言，从 Zig 到 Rust。大约花了 11 天。哇。一个人。而且使用了 Claude Code 和动态工作流来完成。在过去，这需要几个工程师，大约一年时间。这是我们以前绝不会做的事情。

Yeah. This is COBOL has come up a lot. So money episode. Oh yeah. Yeah. And we always hear like if you're if you're a COBOL engineer. Yeah. You can make bank at the banks as they say. Yeah. Well quad is really good at migrating code. This is, this is one of the actually the skills, like the core skills that's just been improving over time. One example, we just published a blog post about how Jared on the the Bun team and, you know, bun is the JavaScript, engine that powers quad code. How he migrated the entire code base from one language to another language from zig to rust. And it took about 11 days. Wow. For one person. And, used quad code with dynamic workflows, to do this. In the past, this would have taken like a few engineers, like a year or something. And that's something we never would have done.

哦，我看到了那篇文章。是的。而且只花了他大约 5 万积分之类的。只是雇佣那些工程师成本的一小部分。在过去，我们绝不会那样做，因为你必须停止开发一年才能完成。就像没有企业能真正承担那个成本。但是，是的，经济性真的在改变。所以，你知道，如果过去你有这么大的 COBOL 代码库，停止开发不划算，或者把所有东西迁移到 Java 不划算，你现在就可以这样做。你只需要投入 Claude Code，它就能为你完成。

Oh, I saw that piece. Yeah. And it just cost him like 50,000 in credits or something like that. Just a fraction of what being those engineers would cost. And back in the day, like, we just never would have done that because you have to stop development for a year to to do it. It's just like no business can actually pay that cost. But yeah, like the the economics are really changing. And so, you know, if in the past you had this big COBOL code base and it wasn't cost effective to stop development or it wasn't cost effective to just migrate everything to Java, you can now just do this. You can just pump quad code and they can do this for you.

语言或计算机语言在未来会变得无关紧要吗？

Are languages or computer languages going to be irrelevant in the future?

是的。你知道，我认为它们在今天基本上已经无关紧要了。你知道，这是一个有点争议的话题，因为如果你和不同的工程师交谈，他们会有各种各样的观点。而且，我不一定知道什么才是正确的观点。

Yeah. You know I think they are largely irrelevant today. And you know this is like a this is a spicy thing because if you talk to different engineers, they're gonna have all sorts of views. And yeah, I don't necessarily know what's the right view.

你知道，作为工程师，我会从利弊角度考虑其他所有事情。对我来说，我是个语言迷。我喜欢编程语言。我其实很喜欢类型系统——我写过一本关于我非常喜欢的语言的书。但随着大语言模型的发展，我觉得这越来越不重要了，因为模型并不在乎。语言确实有些帮助。所以如果语言非常高效，有类型检查，有良好的静态分析，那就能帮助模型生成更好的代码。随着模型越来越复杂，这其实越来越不重要，因为即使模型在写原始汇编，它可能第一次就能写得很好。而且这只会越来越好。

You know, as an engineer, I think about everything else in terms of pros and cons. To me, I'm a big languages nerd. I love programming languages. I love type systems, actually—I wrote a book about a language that I really like. But increasingly with LLMs, I think it matters less, because the model doesn't really care. And there's something about a language that helps a bit. So if the language is really efficient, if it's type-checked and has good static analysis, then this helps the model generate better code. As the model gets more sophisticated, this actually matters less because, you know, even if the model is writing raw assembly, it can probably just do it really well on the first shot. And that will only get better over time.

你觉得我们会不会走向一个只有一种标准化主导代码的世界，还是说，因为代码和其他平台能做这么多事情，我们会走向一个语言更加细分的世界？

Do you think we could move to a world where there's like one standardized dominant code, or are we heading into a world—because code and other platforms can do so much of this—where we get even more niche languages?

你知道，我觉得随着 Claude 的出现，创新正在爆发。我们在商业方面看到了各种新创公司。比如，我喜欢去参加 Y Combinator 的演讲。有一家创公司用 Claude 来发现新材料——就像材料发现。他们做材料科学。材料科学。是的。他们的论点是硅带来了革命。下一个会是什么样？我们怎么发现那种材料？他们用 Claude 来搜索。所以现在商业和产品领域正在发生革命。我觉得这有很多推论，同样的事情也可能发生在语言和计算上。我可以想象一个世界，新语言、新计算思维方式的寒武纪大爆发。

You know, I think that with Claude, what is happening is there is an explosion in innovation. And we're seeing this on the business side with all sorts of new startups. Like, I like going to one of these Y Combinator talks. There's a startup that was using Claude to discover new materials—like material discovery. They were like material science. Material science. Yeah. Like their thesis was that there was a revolution because of silicon. What's the next one going to look like? How do we discover that material? And they're using Claude to search for it. So there's this revolution happening in business and in product right now. And I think there are just a lot of corollaries to this, where the same thing might happen to languages and computing. I could see a world where there's just a Cambrian explosion of new languages, of new ways to think about computing.

我们怎么回到命令行和图形用户界面这个问题？一旦我开始在终端里用 Claude Code，我就想，我再也不想用网页了，因为感觉太笨重。我只想在终端里说，给 Tracy 发封邮件说这个，而不是去 Gmail，然后你点个按钮，感觉非常笨重。还有别的事情——我多年前就注意到了，比如我年轻时用电脑，我很在意我的文件：这里有个文件，我点开它，然后有这种层级结构。但后来搜索出现了，那就不那么必要了。你不需要把邮件整理到文件夹里。我只要搜索人名，或者搜索关键词，就能找到文件。我们还会给可视化文件系统留空间吗？比如，当输入文字、看到结果、直接得到输出如此简单时，可视化框架的角色是什么？

How will we go back to this sort of command line versus graphical user interface question? Once I started using the terminal with Claude Code, I was like, I don't want to use the web anymore because it feels clunky. I want to just be able to say, like, send an email to Tracy saying this in the terminal rather than going to Gmail, and then you click on a button and it just feels very clunky. And then there are other things—I noticed this years ago, for example, that when I was younger and using computers, I really cared about my files: here's a file and I click on it and I open it, and then there's this very hierarchical thing. But then when search became a thing, that became less necessary. You don't need to organize your emails into files. I just search the name of the person, or I search a keyword and I find the files. Are we still going to have room for visual file systems? Like, what is the role of the visual framework when it's just so easy to type something and see the words and get the output right there?

我能给你看个例子吗？

Can I show you an example?

当然可以。

Yeah, sure.

好的。我们会截个图。所以这会是个好例子。这也是音频听众去看 YouTube 的理由。太棒了，太棒了。好，那我给大家看看这个。这是——我们在 Slack 里有个反馈频道，好吗。我做的就是发了这个反馈：你们看到这两个音频图标了吗？我总是搞混哪个是……哦，是的。有很多这种情况。是的。就是超级困惑。我没有问，嘿，有人同意吗？这困惑吗？然后 Claude 就跳进了对话。我没叫它。它只是注意到了这个帖子，然后跳进来回应了。我又问了一次，它找到了关于人们使用这些按钮频率的数据，它创建了——跨两个数据源。我在 Datadog 和 Google BigQuery 都工作过，所以我看了两个，然后把它合并成这个相当连贯的答案，它还建议了一些替代方案。我问，好，你能做些设计吗？做个原型。它回了个小艺术表情。然后它就去做了些替代方案。所以当我们谈论这样的可视化界面时，这就是我想到的：现在它是对话的一部分，它主动跳进来。然后我和我们的设计师谈了，她跳进来，现在就像多人对话。每个人都在参与。所以当我想到图形界面时，它不再是静态的文件系统。它是变化的对话，每个人都能参与。这实际上也是我们现在写大部分代码的方式。

Okay. And we'll get a screenshot of this. So this will be a good example. This will be a reason for the audio listeners to check out the YouTube. Awesome, awesome. Okay, so let me show you guys this. So this is—we have this feedback channel in Slack, okay. And what I did was I posted this feedback: have you guys seen there's these two audio icons? And I'm always confused which one means... oh yeah. There's many such cases. Yeah. It's just like super confusing. I didn't ask like, hey, does anyone agree? Is this confusing? And so what happens is Claude jumped into the conversation. I didn't ask it. It just kind of noticed this thread and it jumped in and it responded. And I asked it again and it found data about how often people use each of these buttons, and it created—across two data sources. I worked at both Datadog and Google BigQuery, so I looked at both and then I combined it into this pretty coherent answer, and it suggested some alternatives. And I asked, okay, can you make some designs? Just mock it up. And it reacted with a little art emoji. And then it went in and it mocked up some alternatives. So like when we talk about visual interfaces like that, this is kind of what comes to mind: now it's part of the conversation, it proactively jumps in. Then I talked to our designer and, you know, she jumped in and now it's just like a multiplayer conversation. Everyone's participating. And so like when I think about the graphical interfaces, it's no longer this static file system. It's this conversation that's changing and that everyone gets to participate in. And this is actually how we write most of our code now.

我不放弃。我能问个问题吗？这是当我看到 Slack 机器人公告时，这个对话让我想到的第一件事，就是在一个大型非 AI 原生公司，有人采用这个——比如第一次你问关于图标之类的问题会怎样？有个人，他的工作就是做设计。然后 Claude 立刻跳进来回答。你觉得这会在大型公司制造摩擦吗？小型的 AI 原生创公司没有这个问题，但在大公司，他们会说，等等，这是我的工作。突然人们问 Claude 或者标记 Claude，或者在你的情况下，甚至不用标记 Claude。你觉得这是障碍吗？要么是企业采用的障碍，要么是 AI 原生创公司能更多利用的东西，因为他们不会有这种内部政治，人们会——我觉得可以理解地恼火——Slack 机器人现在回答那些直到昨天还是他们薪水一部分的问题。

I don't drop it. Can I ask a question about that? So this is when I saw the Slack bot announcement and this conversation sort of made me think of the first thing that I went to, which is in a big non-AI-native company, someone that was adopting this—like what happens the first time you ask a question about some sort of icons, etc.? There is a person whose job it was to be the design person. And then Claude jumps in with the answer right away. Do you think this is going to create frictions at large companies where small startups that are AI-native have no issue with this, but at big companies, they're like, wait, this is my job. And suddenly the person is asking Claude or tagging Claude, or in your case, not even tagging Claude, not even having to tag Claude. Do you see this as a barrier? Either a barrier to enterprise adoption or something that clearly AI-native startups will be able to leverage more because they won't have this internal politics of people getting—I would say, understandably annoyed—that the Slack bot is now answering the questions that up until yesterday, that was part of their paycheck.

你知道，我要推荐我最喜欢的九十年代中期商学院研究。好的。在《哈佛商业评论》上有一篇文章，我想是 1996 年。标题大概是《个人电脑来了：为什么公司没有从生产力提升中受益？》听起来很耳熟。确实耳熟。这在当时是个大问题，你知道。就像 2000 年代初的互联网一样。这是个好问题，对吧？因为当时的情况是个人电脑出来了，成本大幅下降。公司都在采用，但有些公司看到了生产力提升，有些没有。文章提出的观点，我认为和今天有巨大的相似之处，就是有些公司——他们做的是纸笔流程，有装满文件的文件柜。而且，每个人还是坐在办公桌前，一切都还在纸上。

You know, I'm gonna plug my favorite mid-nineties business school study. Okay. There's this article in the Harvard Business Review, I think, like 1996. And the title was something like 'The Personal Computer Is Here: Why Are Companies Not Benefiting from the Productivity Improvement?' And sounds familiar. It sounds familiar. This was like a big open question around the time, you know. It's like the same thing for the internet in like early 2000s. And it's a good question, right? Because what was happening at the time is the personal computer was out, the cost went way down. Companies were adopting it, but some companies were seeing productivity improvements and others weren't. The case the article made, which I think has immense parallels today, is some companies—what they were doing is they have a paper-and-pen process, and they have these filing cabinets full of papers. And it's still, you know, everyone's sitting at their desk and everything's on paper.

现在，在办公室的某个角落有一台电脑，某人的工作就是把信息输入那台电脑，而他们就是使用那台电脑的人。他们没有看到生产力提升。相反，那只是某人的工作变成了和电脑对话。现在，看到效益的公司是那些把电脑放在办公室中央、把所有的纸笔和文件柜都数字化然后扔掉文件柜的公司。所以现在一切都发生在电脑上。它是所有业务流程的中心。而无论瓶颈在哪里，他们都找到了那个瓶颈。他们将其数字化，然后找到下一个瓶颈，再数字化。他们一直这样做，直到业务流程被彻底改造。所以当我看到我们的客户，以及我们 Anthropic 自己时，看到最大生产力提升的企业是那些把 Claude 放在中心位置，并一次解决一个瓶颈的企业。

And now somewhere in the corner of the office, there's a computer, and it's someone's job to enter information into that computer, and they're the one that uses that computer. They are not seeing productivity benefits. Instead, it's just someone's job to talk to the computer. Now, the companies that are seeing benefits are the ones that took the computer, put it in the center of the office, took all their paper and pen, and all the other filing cabinets, digitized everything, and then threw away the filing cabinets. So now everything happens on the computer. It is the center of all the business processes. And whatever was bottlenecked on the paper and pen, they found that bottleneck. They digitized it, they found the next bottleneck, they digitized it. And then they kept doing this until the business process was revamped. So when I look at the customers that we have, and when I look at Anthropic ourselves, the businesses that are seeing the biggest productivity improvements are the ones that put Claude at the center and figure out this kind of bottleneck one at a time.

所以回到这个例子，你知道，比如某个图标设计师，他的专长就是设计图标，正确的方法就是给这个图标设计师一千个 Claude，让他们成为世界上最伟大的图标设计师。这就是你从中获益的方式。不是给他们一个高质量的答案，而是赋予他们超能力。这个人拥有了更多的智能。

So back to this case of, you know, like some icon designer whose expertise it is to design icons, the way to approach it is give this icon designer a thousand Claudes and let them be the greatest icon designer in the world. And this is how you benefit from this. It's not, you know, like, give them just what quality answer. It's superpower. This person with more intelligence.

Claude 机器人会不会做那种事，比如……嘿，伙计们，这场精彩的 World Cup 比赛还剩十分钟。你们现在都应该打开电视。你期待那会发生。因为我觉得那会是一个非常恐怖谷的时刻。但我看不出有什么特别的技术原因让它不可能发生。但那些也是商务聊天中会发生的事情。

Will the Claude bot ever do that thing or take... Hey guys, there's ten minutes left in this amazing World Cup match. You guys should all be turning on your TVs right now. You expect that to be coming. Because I think that will be a very uncanny valley moment. But I don't see any particular technical reason why it couldn't happen. But those are the types of things that also happen in business chats.

是的。如果你想和我社交，我可不想。但我觉得，好吧，这些模型已经足够成熟，它们学会了通用语言。聊天是什么样子。那些事情也会发生。

Yeah. If you want to socialize with me, I don't want to. But like I think like okay, as like a sufficient like these models as like they're like learn the lingua franca. What a chat looks like. Those are the things that also happen.

如果以真实性的名义，它变成了一个非常烦人的同事呢？

What if, in the name of authenticity, it becomes a really annoying coworker?

是啊。而且它们在 Slack 聊天里对事情非常被动攻击，但它们会那样做吗？就像我说，嘿，伙计们，如果你们没在看这场比赛，现在就打开。

Yeah. And they're really passive aggressive about stuff on the Slack chat, but like, are they going to do that? Like I say, hey guys, if you're not watching this game, turn it on right now.

我记得我们最初开发第一个桌面应用的时候。那是我第一次，实际上，当我加入 Anthropic 时，它还是 Anthropic Labs。而且，你知道，我们的团队，我们构建了 Claude Code，我们构建了 MCP 技能，桌面应用也出自同一个团队。我记得我们在构建桌面应用的早期原型，当时我们刚刚开始攻克计算机使用功能，我有了最早的版本。我们让 Claude，我想是让它订披萨。所以，它去了一个网站，找到了一个订披萨的东西，然后订了披萨。然后我有点无聊了。后来我们看视频，发现它在 Hacker News 上，就像在读新闻。

I remember when we were first working on the first desktop app. That was my first time, actually, when I joined Anthropic, it was Anthropic Labs. And, you know, our team, we built Claude Code, we built the MCP skills, and the desktop app that came out of the same team. And I remember we were building early prototypes of the desktop app, and I'd had the first ever versions of computer use when we were first starting to crack it. And we asked Claude to, I think it was like we asked it to order a pizza. And so, like, it went on a website and it like, it found some pizza ordering thing and then it ordered the pizza. And then I kind of got bored. And, we're watching the video later and it was like on Hacker News, just like reading the news.

天哪。哦，哇。

Oh my God. Oh, wow.

所以，是的，它会做同样的事情。它试图浪费时间，浪费时间和 token。而现在我认为的区别在于模型。你知道它更智能了。所以它实际上能保持专注。但你知道，未来可能会有这样的情况，当我在 Slack 里和 Claude 说话，当我和 tag 说话时，它感觉更像一个同事，而不是一个工具。这是一个巨大的变化。感觉真的很不一样。这是多年对齐工作和多年让模型保持专注工作的结果。比如我有持续运行数周的 tag 会话。它在很长一段时间内都非常连贯。这是对齐和通用智能的结合。我们终于解决了记忆问题，所以它能很好地记住你告诉它的事情。所以当你把所有这些和一个出色的安全系统结合起来，CISO 们喜欢的那种，它就能顺利工作了。

So yeah, that's going to do all the same. It's trying to waste time and wasting time, wasting time and tokens. And the difference now I think is the model. You know it's more intelligent. So it actually stays on task. But you know, there might be a future where, you know, like when I talk to Claude in Slack, when I talk to tag, it feels a lot more like a coworker than a tool. And this is a big change. It feels really different. And this was the result of many years of alignment work and many years of work to get the model to stay on task. Like I have tag sessions that have been running for weeks at a time. It's just really, really coherent over a long period of time. And this is the combination of alignment, just general intelligence. We finally figured out memory, so it remembers what you told it really well. And so when you take all this and you combine it with like this amazing, like security system that CISOs love, then it just kind of works.

你们正在研究的下一项重大改进或能力是什么？

What's the next big improvement or capability that you're working on?

我们正在扩展我们在 tag 中看到的这些现有能力。你知道，当我们谈论构建产品或模型时，有一个人们常说的“产品过剩”的概念。这个想法是，模型能够做某件事，但产品却成了阻碍。因为，对，当你使用模型，当你使用 Claude 时，你并不是真的在向某个推理服务器发送 token，你总是通过一个第三方产品和框架来使用。所以有时候这些东西会碍事。Claude Code 的第一个版本就是这样。我们觉得当时 3.5 的模型已经能够做所有这些事情了。但没有产品让人们体验到。所以我们构建了这个非常通用的框架，让人们能够体验它。所以现在，对我来说，感觉又到了那样的时刻，甚至可能更大，因为人们一次一个提示地提示 Claude，来回交互，这反而成了阻碍。所以实际上，要解锁模型，让人们体验模型的全部智能，关键是使用循环。使用例程，使用 Claude tag。这些方法的共同点是 Claude 运行很长时间，你不需要给它非常详细的提示。你给它一个目标，或者给它一些更笼统的东西，然后你给它数据和工具的访问权限，让它像同事一样为你处理细节。我认为这些是 Claude 越来越擅长的技能。再说一次，这只是多年的对齐研究、多年的安全研究。这不是一夜之间的事。

We're working on extending these existing capabilities that we're seeing in tag. You know, when we talk about building products or models, there's this idea of product overhang that people talk about. And what this idea is, is the model is able to do something, but the product is getting in the way. Because, right, like when you use a model, when you use Claude, you're not like literally like sending tokens to an inference server somewhere, like you're always using a third product and through a harness. And so sometimes these things get in the way. And this was like the very first version of Claude Code was like this. We felt like the model on 3.5 at the time was capable of all of these things. No product is letting people experience. And so we built this very general harness that lets people experience it. And so right now, to me, it feels like another moment just like that, but maybe even bigger, where because people are prompting Claude and going kind of back and forth one prompt at a time, this is kind of getting in the way. And so actually, the thing to unhackable the model and to let people experience the full intelligence of the model is using loops. It's using routines, it's using Claude tag. And the thing that's kind of common about this is Claude is running for a very long period of time, and you don't give it a really detailed prompt. You kind of give it a goal or you give it kind of something a little more general, and then you give it access to data and tools, and you let it figure out the details for you the same way that you would a coworker. And I think these are the skills where Claude is just getting better and better. And again, this is just years of alignment research, years of safety research. This is not an overnight thing.

实际上我还有一个最后的问题。但我觉得它很核心。而且它在最开始就提到了。我有偏见。我认为大多数 AI 写作不是很好。很多人似乎认为这是公司没有优先考虑这个问题的结果，因为，你知道，显然在代码方面有更多的商业机会。它是许多事情的基础。也许图像甚至更有价值。这是优先级的问题，还是代码根本不同，因为可验证性这个概念，你给了雕塑的类比，因为它要么有效要么无效，它可以不断尝试，一开始做出更好的猜测。而我们知道很多专业领域，包括写作，都是如此。

I just have one last question actually. But I think it's kind of core. And it came up at the very beginning. I'm biased. I don't think most AI writing is very good. A lot of people seem to think this is a function of, you know, what the company is really haven't prioritized this because, you know, clearly there's just so much more opportunity in code in terms of business. It's so foundational to many things. Maybe even images are more valuable. Is this a function of like, priority or is this a function of no code is fundamentally different because of this concept of like verifiability being you gave the sculpture analogy because it's just like it either works or it doesn't, and it can just keep doing that and make better guesses at first. Whereas we know that so many professional realms and writing being among them.

但我也会说，很多销售或任何人际交往的工作都没有那种紧密的反馈循环，你无法立即得到 A 或 B 的答案，这到底有没有用？要迭代多少？当我们思考编程和其他工作之间的差距时，有多少是关于优先级的问题，又有多少是编程本身区别于其他专业任务的根本特性？

But I would also say a lot of sales or anything interpersonal does not have that tight feedback loop where you get the instant answer A or B, did this work or not? Iterate how much? When we think about the gap between coding and everything else, how much is it about priority versus the fundamental thing that makes coding different from many other professional tasks?

是的，我听过几个人讨论过这个问题，但实际上我认为编程并不是非黑即白的。中间有很多很多灰色地带。有能运行但很丑陋的代码，而且下周就会出问题。有能运行但有很多 bug 的代码。有能运行但人类或模型都不愿意读的代码。有能运行但界面很难看，因为所有东西都偏了几个像素，或者颜色不对等等。所以实际上这里面有很多细微差别。写作也有很多细微差别。我们正在解决所有这些问题。我们在代码方面做得越来越好。我们在写作方面也越来越好。我也觉得代码在写作方面可能还能做得更好。有时候它很棒，但有时候又觉得，不不不，我不喜欢那种语气，或者我不喜欢你这样措辞之类的。所以，是的，我预计它会随着时间的推移不断进步。

Yeah, I've heard a few people talk about this, but actually I think coding is really not black and white in this way. There's just many, many shades of gray in between. There's code that works but is really ugly, and it's going to break next week. There's code that works, but it has a lot of bugs. There's code that works, but it's just not something a person would want to read or something a model wants to read. There's a user interface that works, but it's kind of ugly because everything's off by a few pixels, or the colors are wrong or whatever. So there's actually a lot of nuance to it. And there's a lot of nuance to writing. We're working on all these problems. We're getting better at code. We're getting better at writing. I also feel that code probably could be a lot better at writing. Sometimes it's amazing, and then sometimes it's like, no, no, no. I don't like that tone or I don't like the way that you worded this out or something. So yeah, I would expect it to keep getting better over time.

好的。Boris Cherny，非常感谢你来到 Odd Lots。非常棒。

All right. Boris Cherny, thank you so much for coming on Odd Lots. That was great.

是的，非常感谢。

Yeah. Thanks so much.

Tracy，如果你在聊天室里看到我问关于西红柿之类的问题，你会不会觉得被冒犯？因为我可能会这样，然后你会说，等等，我才是西红柿专家，或者关于鸡之类的问题。

Tracy, are you going to be offended if you see me, like, in the chat room being, like, asking a question about tomatoes or something like that, and then because I might, you know, and then you're like, wait, I'm the tomato expert or something about chickens or something like that.

Claude 从来没有种过西红柿。确实，我种过，但它读过数百万本关于西红柿农学的书。确实如此。

Claude has never grown a tomato. That's true, I have, but it has read millions of books about tomato agronomy. It does.

这引出了很多有趣的问题，比如同事关系，还有内部办公室政治之类的。

It opens up so many interesting questions about, like, coworker relationships and, I guess internal office politics and.

是的，我也这么认为。就像 Boris 最后展示的例子，它未经提示就带着一堆数据和建议进入对话。你说得对，你可以看到这可能会惹恼一些人。

Yeah, I think so too. Like the example that Boris showed at the end where it just came in, unprompted, into a conversation with a bunch of data and a bunch of suggestions. To your point, you could see how that would rub a few people the wrong way.

是的，比如在 Odd Lots 的群聊里，问谁适合来聊某个话题，然后模型给出的答案其实非常好，我们应该联系他们，或者有人提出建议，然后模型就说，哦，那很愚蠢，因为以下原因行不通。

Yeah, for like in the Odd Lots group chat, like, who would be a good guest to talk about X and then like, the model problem was like, oh, it was actually a very good answer, that we should reach out to them or someone makes a suggestion and then the model is like, oh, that's stupid, and it won't work for the following reasons.

我只想说，我这么说不仅仅是因为我们的制作人会听这期节目，而是我真心这么认为。我从来没有被这些基础研究问题打动过。哦，我要说在某些面试准备问题上，人类仍然明显比模型强。是的，毫无疑问，对我来说。我从来没有遇到过，比如我问模型，这个人有什么背景，我应该读哪些关于这个人的资料来准备面试？我从来没有对这类问题特别印象深刻。它会找到文档之类的。是的。但实际上，对我来说，即使有所有的上下文等等，要产生一些东西，我觉得问题还是在于判断力，对吧？判断力。那么它如何判断在特定话题或特定人物上，什么才是好的阅读材料呢？人们对这个问题的看法会不同，对吧？

I would just say, and I'm not just saying that because our producers listen to this episode, but I honestly mean this. I've never been impressed by these sort of basic research questions. Oh, I will say on certain prep interview prep questions. Yeah. The human still clearly better than the model. Yeah. Unambiguously to mine. I've never like gotten like, you know, background like I've asked you know like have the models like what is some background. What are some readings on this person that I should read so that I could prepare for this interview? And I've never been particularly impressed on questions like that. It'll find documents etc.. Yeah. But actually like producing something that's like for me, even with all my context etc.. It's not as I think the issue is still judgment, right? Judgment. So how is it judging what a good read actually is on a particular topic or particular person? People are going to have different ideas of what that looks like, right?

是的，完全同意。但这又回到了写作的观点。对吧。是的。你知道，有趣的是 Boris 说在他职业生涯的某个时刻，他确实把写代码看作诗歌，因为当我想到任何东西是诗歌时，产品就是诗歌本身。我的意思是，这就是代码和所有其他形式的写作之间的真正区别，你知道，人们看代码时，他们看到的是代码创造的软件，而人们实际上看的是诗歌本身，当有人写诗时。所以有趣的是，他曾经这么想过，我不知道，我觉得这很值得注意。然后另一个问题是，每个人似乎都喜欢被解放的想法。我想这里有两个问题。每个人似乎都喜欢被解放的想法，去做更高层次的抽象思考。对吧。但是，我们最终会不会用完更高层次，比如一个人有了一个商业想法，他们是更高层次的人，然后模型就可以从那里接手所有事情，在营销方面，在各个方面。然后另一个问题是，这在我们最近一期关于 AI 法律的节目中提到了，作为人类，你能在没有做过一些基础工作的情况下，在任何话题上达到最高层次的思考吗？你知道，我经常想，比如在音乐方面，你知道，真正优秀的吉他手，不是我，而是真正优秀的吉他手。他们会考虑他们买的琴弦，很多人会自己制作吉他，他们对拾音器的排列有真正的看法，他们关心放大器里的电子管，尽管这些东西不是正式的音乐理论。所以这是我要说的一个大问题，我们会不会失去那个核心？每个人都上升到更高层次、更抽象的思考。每个人都成为设计师、产品或编排者。当没有人是那种机械师、吉他调音师、制造电子管的人时，会发生什么？当没有人记得如何写作、如何做事情时，会发生什么？会不会失去一些东西？我认为很多人直觉上会说，是的，但这还有待观察。我预计我们会在有生之年找到答案，Joe。我们会经历失去。

Yeah, totally. But I just gets back to the writing point as well. Right. Like, yeah. You know, it's interesting that Boris said that at one point in his career, he did think about writing code as poetry, because when I think about anything as poetry, it's the poem that is the product. I mean, this is what's really different between all code and all other forms of like writing, which is, you know, one really views code, they view the software that code creates, whereas people actually view the poem, when someone is writing a poem. So it's interesting that at one point he thought that, I don't know, I thought that was notable. And then the other question is like, everyone likes the idea of being freed, I suppose. I guess there's two questions here. Everyone likes the idea of being freed. I suppose, to do higher order abstraction thinking. Right. But a like, do we sort of run out of like higher orders eventually where it's like one person has an idea for a business and they're the higher order person, and then the the models can just like take it all from there on the marketing side, on every aspect. And then the other question is, and this came up in a recent episode about AI law, can as a human, you achieve the highest order of thinking on any topic without have done some grunt work? You know, I always think, like in musicianship, for example, you know, really good guitar players, not me, but really good guitar players. They think about like the strings they buy and many of them make their own guitars and they have really views like what is the arrangement of the pickups here? And they care about like the tubes that are in the amp, even though these things are not formal music theory. And so this is sort of one of the big questions I would say is like, do we lose that core? Everyone moves up to the higher order, more abstract thinking. Everyone's a designer or a product or an orchestrator. What happens when no one is the sort of the mechanic, the guitar tuner, the person who builds the tubes? What happens when no one remembers how to write, how to do the thing? Does something get lost? And I think that sort of many people intuitively say, yes, but it's sort of TBD. I expect we're going to find the answer to this in our lifetimes, Joe. Like we're going to experience loss.

是的，我想我们会。

Yeah, I think we will.
