| Title | Summary | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Fiona Fung | Leads engineering + product for Claude Code and Cowork at Anthropic (ex-Meta/Microsoft); "what served you prior may no longer"; rewrote team norms for the AI-native org | |
| Thariq Shihipar | Engineer on the Claude Code team at Anthropic; "HTML is the new markdown" and "compute allocator" framings; three HTML-first workflows | |
| AI-Native Startup Lifecycle | Anthropic's May 2026 reframing of Idea/MVP/Launch/Scale assuming AI infrastructure: each stage's headcount/capital/skill gates dissolve; lean unicorn as deliberate target | |
| MCP and Computer Use | Anthropic's two complementary connector mechanisms: MCP for structured programmatic access (Salesforce/Drive/Gmail/Slack/Figma + niche industry systems); computer use as the GUI-driving catchall when no MCP exists; Boris Cherny's "to the model, it's just tokens" | |
| Chloe Li | Lead author of MSM paper (arXiv 2605.02087); Anthropic Fellows Program; designed all specs and experiments | |
| Claude's Constitution / Model Spec | Anthropic Model Spec / Constitution by Askell et al.; document specifying Claude's values + hard constraints (SP1–3, GP1–2); now also a direct training input via MSM | |
| Model Spec Midtraining (MSM) | New training phase between pretrain and AFT: train base model on synthetic docs discussing the Model Spec; controls AFT generalization; cuts agentic misalignment 54%→7%; beats deliberative alignment baseline | |
| Boris Cherny | Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic; phone-driven workflow with hundreds of agents; primary advocate of `/loop` primitive; "coding is solved (for me)" thesis | |
| Cat Wu | Head of Product for Claude Code and Cowork at Anthropic; primary articulator of AI-native product cadence and engineer-PM convergence | |
| Claude Character as Product | Personality as load-bearing product surface; Amanda's role at Anthropic; lunchtime vibe-checks as eval discipline; the harness asset that *doesn't* shrink | |
| Claude Code | Anthropic's agentic coding product; created by Boris Cherny late 2024; TypeScript/React; CLI/desktop/web/mobile/IDE surfaces; central tool across all 2026 sources | |
| Cowork | Anthropic's non-code knowledge-work agent product; sibling to Claude Code; output is decks/inbox/dossiers; same MCP/computer-use primitives | |
| Mythos Model | Anthropic preview-tier frontier model; gated for safety; used internally alongside Opus 4.7; descendant expected to ship publicly later | |
| Claude Opus 4.7 | GA frontier model from Anthropic; direct upgrade to 4.6 at same price; literal instruction following, 1.0–1.35× tokenizer inflation, new `xhigh` effort, first post-Glasswing safeguards |
