From Episode 26: We Built an AI Trading Bot for Prediction Markets — Here’s What Actually Happened, starting at 27:53.
Jordan Metzner [27:52]: I think just wrapping up, we didn't really talk about Anthropic and Claude, but just, really quickly, Anthropic raised a new round this week. There's a new version of Claude Code. But, after sitting with my developers this week, everybody is just enthralled with the quality of work coming out of Anthropic and the quality of Claude Code, the quality of Opus 4.5. And, this feels like the early days still. I think, another Opus version, I e something a little bit better than 4.5 will really be amazing. We're seeing a ton of tools written on top of Claude Code. I think I told you about the Ralph Wiggum plug in that allows you to do things like that. There's a vibe code check-in plug in. I've seen some Claude Code observability tools. So it's it's really getting to a cool space where not only is is Claude Code and Anthropic and their models and becoming kind of standardized in the market, but we're starting to see some really cool tools on top that just allow developers to do even crazier things.
Jordan Metzner [28:46]: And again, like I said, Sam, like, this is just the early days. We're in January of the beginning of the twenty six. But I think in three to six months from now, we're gonna say, wow. That felt, know, really antiquated to what's available on the market today.
