I joined Anthropic last week! It’s obvious to me that we’re bottlenecked not by model capabilities, but by creativity and understanding. I’ll be building demos and prototypes that highlight new capabilities and share what we learn about building using these models at Anthropic.…

I have looked at a LOT of data tools through the years. @metaplane might be one of the biggest slam dunk additions to a stack I've seen. @kevinzenghu congrats, you and the team are building something special!
