Anthropic pauses Claude Agent SDK policy

In May, we sent you an email announcing that starting today, the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party apps built on the Agent SDK would stop drawing from subscription rate limits and move to a dedicated monthly credit. We're writing to let you know that we’re not making this change today. We’re working to update the plan to better support how users build with Claude subscriptions.What...

I think the most exciting change announced here is the use of tool search to dynamically load tools as needed: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-tool-sea...
Fantastic, this looks excellent and excited to try it

I regularly use @ key to add files to context for tasks I know require edits or patterns I want claude to follow, adds a few extra key strokes but in most cases the quality improvement is worth it
Re:Claude Haiku 4.5 on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @08:17PM (#45600046)
Interesting and if they are using speculative decoding that variance would make sense. Also your numbers line up with what openrouter is now publishing at 169.1tps [1]

Anthropic mentioned this model is more then twice as fast as claude sonnet 4 [2], which OpenRouter averaged at 61.72 tps for sonnet 4 [3]. If these numbers hold we're really looking at an almost 3x improvement in throughput and less then half the initial latency.

Where do you get the 220 token/second? Genuinely curious as that would be very impressive for a model comparable to sonnet 4. OpenRouter currently publishing around 116/tps[1]

Re:Cerebras Systems Raises $1.1B Series G at $8.1B Valuation on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @09:05PM (#45433192)
Congrats to the team, I'm surprised the industry hasn't been as impressed with their benchmarks on token throughput. We're using the Qwen 3 Coder 480b model and seeing ~2000 tokens/second, which is easily 10-20x faster then most LLM models on the market. Even some of the fastest models still only achieve 100-150 tokens / second (see OpenRouter stats by provider). I do feel after around 300-400 tokens/second the gains in speed feel more incremental, so if there was a model at 300+ tokens/second, I would consider that a very competitive alternative.
Really excited for this product, the industry needs alternatives to WebContainers which has become more restrictive around licensing. Also great to see that non-node runtimes (ruby / python) will be supported. Having said that, really wish this was open-source, even if that meant the OSS version had more limited features then the commercial alternative.
Re:Cerebras Code on Saturday August 02, 2025 @11:22AM (#44768368)
This token throughput is incredible and going to set a new bar in the industry. The main issue with the cerebras code plan is that number of requests/minute is throttled, and with agentic coding systems each tool call is treated as new "message" so you can easily hit the api limits (10 messages/minute).

One workaround we're doing now that seems to work is use claude for all tasks but delegate specific tools with cerebras/qwen-3-coder-480b model to generate files or other token heavy tasks to avoid spiking the total number of requests. This has cost and latency consequences (and adds complexity to the code), but until those throttle limits are lifted seems to be a good combo. I also find that claude has better quality with tool selection when the number of tools required is > 15 which our current setup has.

Ask HN: Is anyone working on a WASM-based Node engine for the browser?

There are a number of companies working on solving micro-VM sandboxes, using Firecracker or libkrun. This includes CodeSandbox, E2B and Microsandbox. One of the major use cases is running AI-generated code in a safe environment, with the promise of fast (~2-300 ms) bootup times, pre-built memory snapshots, and the ability hibernate and wake up instances extremely fast. The downside is these...

Self-hosting is definitely something we are keen to explore as most of the cloud solutions have resource constrains (ie, total active MicroVMs and/or specs per VM) and managing billing gets complicated even with hibernation features. Great project and we'll definitely take it for a spin
Looks great and excited to try this out. We’ve also had success using CodeSandbox SDK and E2B, can you share some thoughts on how you compare or future direction? Do you also use Firecracker under the hood?
Excited to try this out, it will solve two problems we’ve had: applying a code diff reliably and selecting which files from a large codebase to use for context.

We quickly discovered that RAG using a similarity search over embedded vectors can easily miss relevant files, unless we cast a very wide net during retrieval.

We’ve also had trouble getting any LLM to generate a diff format (such as universal diff) reliably so your approach to applying a patch is exciting.

Re:Storefront Web Components on Wednesday May 21, 2025 @09:47PM (#44057987)
This looks great, glad to see this project and congrats on the launch. Having said that, how does this project fit in with the Shopify Hydrogen effort using Remix / React? There seems to be an ever growing number of ways to build a shopify storefront these days (ie, native templates, remix/hydrogen, web components, Shopify JS Buy SDK, etc.) so it's not clear what technology to "bet on" from a developer perspective.

Separately, nice touch adding the refined LLM instructions, this looks like a nice pattern for other UI frameworks to follow.

Re:Coding agent in 94 lines of Ruby on Friday May 16, 2025 @07:15PM (#44010645)
RubyLLM has been a joy to work with so nice to see it’s being used here. This project is also great and will make it easier to build an agent that can fetch data outside of the codebase for context and/or experiment with different system prompts. I’ve been a personal fan of claude code but this will be fun to work with

Correct, the rate is a string field so has a 255 char limit. It was mostly intended for short values such as "$100 / hr"
