Appreciated the sans CLA contribution and GPLv3.

I’m intrigued overall by the terminal centric notion, I’ll check it out, thanks for building.

I’m curious how the remote capabilities work, I’m often / ssh/mosh into a tmux eMacs session.


The other consideration that would be useful is an explicit api for a developer to freeze the release, to prevent new file upload.


The files in a release are immutable, but a release on pypi consists of multiple files for binaries that is a cross of architecture, os, and python version. Per other comments the upload api is stateless. The consideration is an attacker adding new files to an old release


GP wasn't asking about the files being immutable, whatever a mutable file would mean. They were asking about the releases. I'm curious too.

The way it's done with rubygems, if you messed something up with the gem (pushed secrets, etc.), you "yank" (remove) the release and push a new one (different version). You can't work with the files in a release once it's been pushed.


Is the name on homage to James Mickey’s classic column article in usenix ?

Like anthropomorphism is literally in the company name… i recall reading this book as a teenager.. it does seem apt in the world to come.

> anthropomorphism is literally in the company name

No it's not... "anthropos" just means "human" in ancient Greek. "Anthropic" means "relating to humans", as in human oriented AI or AI designed with humans in mind.

"Anthropomorphic" means "human shaped".


> "Anthropomorphic" means "human shaped".

In a literal, ancient Greek sense for sure, but in modern English Anthropomorphic would describe the act of attributing human characteristics to non-human entities.

Seems pretty apt for a company that produces one of the more anthropomorphized technologies.


Sure of course, but that abstract sense applied to AI is rather new, and has become popular well after the founding of the company.

Broadly it has always been used to indicate that something non-human has a human physical shape, such as robots, aliens, animals...

Anthropic's intention was to make AI designed for the human common good and designed with the human user experience as the top priority. Just as you would design a city with human inhabitants in mind rather than primarily cars.

It turns out that this is best achieved by building AI that imitates human behaviour closely, but that's not what "anthropic" refers to. And acting as if LLMs are sentient people is definitely not a core tenet of the company as you imply.


> "anthropos" just means "human" in ancient Greek

FWIW it means human in modern Greek too :-P


Assuming the Qualcomm ARM lawsuits are what’s preventing the AArch64 debut…
