Inside Anthropic’s First Developer Day, Where AI Agents Took Center Stage | EUROtoday

“Something like over 70 percent of [Anthropic’s] pull requests are now Claude code written,” Krieger instructed me. As for what these engineers are doing with the additional time, Krieger mentioned they’re orchestrating the Claude codebase and, after all, attending conferences. “It really becomes apparent how much else is in the software engineering role,” he famous.

The pair fiddled with Voss water bottles and answered an array of questions from the press about an upcoming compute cluster with Amazon (Amodei says “parts of that cluster are already being used for research,”) and the displacement of employees resulting from AI (“I don’t think you can offload your company strategy to something like that,” Krieger mentioned).

We’d been instructed by spokespeople that we weren’t allowed to ask questions on coverage and regulation, however Amodei provided some unprompted perception into his views on a controversial provision in President Trump’s megabill that might ban state-level AI regulation for 10 years: “If you’re driving the car, it’s one thing to say ‘we don’t have to drive with the steering wheel now.’ It’s another thing to say ‘we’re going to rip out the steering wheel, and we can’t put it back in for 10 years,’” Amodei mentioned.

What does Amodei take into consideration probably the most? He says the race to the underside, the place security measures are lower so as to compete within the AI race.

“The absolute puzzle of running Anthropic is that we somehow have to find a way to do both,” Amodei mentioned, which means the corporate has to compete and deploy AI safely. “You might have heard this stereotype that, ‘Oh, the companies that are the safest, they take the longest to do the safety testing. They’re the slowest.’ That is not what we found at all.”
