Cursor was the first coding harness that hit mainstream (was the fastest company to hit $1B ARR). It was also once half of Anthropic's revenue.
On the CLI side Aider had a good CLI product and the only relevant benchmark back in the day.
I guess, its debatable that o1 was the real start- but I think its hard to deny that Claude Code CLI was the first time we had what we now call a coding harness hit the mainstream. And- Sonnet 3.7 was kinda Anthropic's "o1 moment".
God. Opus 4.6 and 5.3-codex feel like ancient history.
