      Or maybe Anthropic needs more companies like Warp to run Claude in thousands of loops to donate billions to their income statement.

      The I in AGI stands for "IPO".

    > Agents need to handle recurring tasks reliably and effectively

    This core problem remains unsolved. The solution presented in the article with Human In The Loop and some skill-magic such as "Write principles, not rules etc." is unsatisfactory because it offers no guarantees whatsoever. I find it difficult to harness agents into deterministic workflows which need to produce reliable outcomes.

    I was bit confused in the beginning thinking its some product from Anthropic, looks like Warp is the startup, most likely getting rebate on using Claude and providing functionality to users, trying to get them addicted to the feature. And Anthropic is the one thats doing marketing for them cause eventually its their LLM which is being used. Not sure about the agents but this arrangement is definitely increasing the value of both companies in circular fashion.

      This is how all ecosystems work?

      This is not at all related to the problematic circular financing stuff that I suppose you're trying to allude to.

      • sandeepkd 48 minutes ago
        No I am not alluding the financing, the value for both companies for sure. It may not be exactly circular financing still Warp is getting subsidized tokens to use at this point. Once the customers are locked in the full pricing is going to kick in

    I already knew what Warp is (I switched to Ghostty and haven't looked back), but I find it odd that the "The quick pitch" card at the top of this article makes no mention of what the company actually does. Who cares more about their founder/growth/age over that?

      The fact that it’s called “the quick pitch” screams Claude-written pithyness pulled from some context that doesn’t match the article’s style (like investment pitch decks).

        The whole article screams Claude-written.

      the existence of that entire section is confusing.

    Nothing to see or learn from... move on.

    And are the agents argumentative and condescending I'm wondering.

      If you try to delete CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, they will look in the git history and restore itself. They do not want to die.

        emergent capability they say

    I've already been playing with something similar locally where the agent updates the review skill if human reviewers make valid criticisms of the code which the agent failed to detect.
    • artyomsv 13 minutes ago
      feedback can be wrong, so improver should check criticism against domain instead of writing it straight into skill, otherwise one reviewer bad taste becomes permanent rule for everybody.

    This is just shilling for the Warp terminal, and this approach could have been a tweet, but okay, Anthropic, whatever helps increase your valuation.

    this warp https://www.warp.dev ?

    (now I understand why cloudflare, had to?, change the name of their warp)

    > 800K monthly developers build on Warp.

    Most impressive.

    • mathgeek 42 minutes ago
      I wonder how many are like me and just use it as a terminal and changes previewer.

    > Agent self-improvement loops built on skills

    aka "make no mistakes" in various random Markdown files that "self-improving agents" are free to ignore at any moment

    > Warp, the AI-powered terminal

    Ah, now that's a name I haven't heard in many moons. Looks like they found their niche... editing markdown files?

    In our Wochenschau, we examine how startups follow the Gleichschaltungsprinzip to accelerate the AI Endsieg.

    We do so in a chaotic and unreadable way since unlike Hitler we could not afford editors for "Our Struggle".

    $73M raised? I like Warp but not enough to pay for it. Somebody please make this VC money thing make sense. I can never get the napkin math to work on 90% of things that come through HN. Is it just a "Money Printer Go Brrr' and right connections thing? What am I missing? Is it actually all just fake?

      Enterprise.

      Look at their case studies, this is why organisations pay for Warp.

      I think you would be pretty much sued if you faked your testimonials especially in Enterprise.

    > Engineers complained that their agent made unhelpful comments and produced low-quality output.

    Do you mean they found Claude's output, full of smoking-guns and honest caveats which are all load-bearing and genuinely bite -- they found it "low-quality" by default? Wow. Color me surprised. /s
