    A benchmark that ranks Claude Code last while it stays first in use is measuring the wrong thing, and has been for a year.

    every week i see a new benchmark that ranks claude code last and everyone pats themselves on the back for not using claude code and being "smarter" and it's still #1 and still growing faster than most of the other things on the list this has been going on for a year

    When a benchmark disagrees with what people actually adopt, what it is telling you is that the thing it measures does not matter.

    what the benchmark is actually telling you is the shit you think matters does not matter

    In US-China AI competition the closed labs are beside the point; the competitor that shifts things must be American, open source and able to serve inference at scale.

    in this whole USA vs China thing OpenAI and Anthropic aren't relevant because they're positioned differently them building better models doesn't hurt china at all the competitor has to be - american - open source - enough compute to do inference at scale that can shift things

    A coding-agent company should not train its own model: it has to stay neutral ground for models to compete on.

    people ask us if we'll train our own model and the answer currently is no 1. we are too dumb to 2. there's plenty of other well funded efforts 3. we need to remain a neutral ground for models to battle
