So you wouldn't, for example, after doing a complete ground-up rewrite, perhaps spend a few months dogfooding it to work out the worst bugs before unleashing it upon the public, thus maximizing your initial velocity by minimizing the blast radius and support requests and triage during this phase?

It's Anthropic. I am pretty sure they spent time dogfooding it to Mythos or an even more advanced model.

That might even be the reason why they switched to rust.

Don't worry too much.

> before unleashing it upon the public

…but they have? Claude users are public, no? If they were dogfooding internally I’d agree with you.

  • Yeah. One single project that they control. Not thousands of other people's projects breaking, I'm sure with a ton of HN outcry over releasing "this pile of vibe coded slop" upon the poor populace.

    You just can't win.

    • > you just can’t win

      You could! You could not release a “pile of vibe coded slop” onto people’s machines. There don’t even appear to be any particular advantages to Claude upgrading early. If there are no one has been made aware of it.
