Anthropic Introduces Read-Only Personal Finance Beta in Claude

Published yesterday (Nov 2) on claude.com. Short version of what it is: - You send the full conversation once. Every later request carries only the new messages plus the previous response ID, so you stop re-sending the whole history every turn. - Anthropic's number: for requests with 500k to 1M tokens, median time to first token drops by about 35%. That is where the long-context pain is, so this is aimed at long-running agents. - A thread expires 5 minutes after its last request.

💻 Coding with AI? A Claude Code engineer's rules for keeping your own skills Addy Osmani, who works on Claude Code at Anthropic, calls the trap "cognitive surrender": you stop checking, and the agent's answer simply becomes yours. The code looks clean, the tests pass, and later nobody on the team knows why the system works the way it does. It isn't only coders. In a Wharton study he cites, people with an AI on hand accepted its wrong answers 73% of the time, and felt more confident doing it. His rules: 1. Decide what success looks like before you hand over the task. 2. Form your own rough answer first, then compare. 3. Read the diff as if a junior wrote it. 4. Ask the model to argue against its own answer. 5. Check the commands the agent ran and what each test really checks. 6. Write code without the agent once a week. @aipost 🏴
