Anthropic's platform team strives for consistency in offering the same primitives to both internal and external builders. Katelyn Lesse explained this approach is due to the rapid evolution of AI form factors, shifting from chat to agents and beyond. By providing a robust platform with flexible tools, they aim to enable experimentation and naturally discover new use cases.
“Yeah, I mean, we generally try to have a philosophy that we try to be consistent across the board. It's actually one of the reasons why we do internal and external.”
“Um, for us, we kind of try to intentionally keep it equal, and then as a result, we try to hold this philosophy as much as we can around, like, you know, for any builder, internal or external, even though for internal builders might have some slightly different requirements than the same way any user would have slight different requirements.”
“Um, and we kind of imagine that like constantly evolving. And so the best way for us to kind of enable that for everyone and also ourselves is to actually build a really robust platform that gives people those kinds of like tools to figure out those form factors.”
