Anthropic的一位高级工程师表示，在该AI实验室的一个核心团队中，Claude Code已经彻底取代了人类编写代码的工作。凯特琳·莱斯负责领导这家AI初创公司的平台工程团队，该团队负责公司的核心服务、开发者工具和产品基础设施——这基本上是Anthropic的“发动机舱”。莱斯周二在Grafana Labs的ObservabilityCON活动上表示，在她的团队中——截至今年夏天共有200人——人类编写代码的时代已经完全结束。
A top Anthropic engineer says that Claude Code has already wiped out all human coding at one of the AI lab's central teams. Katelyn Lesse leads the AI startup's platform engineering group, which handles the company's core services, developer tools, and product infrastructure — it's essentially the engine room of Anthropic. Lesse said at Grafana Labs' ObservabilityCON event on Tuesday that among her staff, which tallied 200 as of this summer, the era of human-written code is fully over.
“就我们团队以及我们实际构建和维护系统的方式而言，我们所有的代码都是由Claude编写的，”莱斯说。“真的，全部都是。”Anthropic对Claude Code的高度依赖帮助其保持了相对较小的规模，而该公司正接近首次公开募股，估值可能接近2万亿美元。该公司今年第三季度的营收增长放缓。要维持其高估值，可能取决于能否说服更多公司接受莱斯和其他Anthropic领导人所倡导的“AI优先”方式。
"When it comes to our team and how we're actually building and maintaining our systems, all of our code is written by Claude," Lesse said. "Like, literally all of it." Anthropic's heavy reliance on Claude Code has helped it remain relatively small, as it approaches an initial public offering that could value it at nearly $2 trillion. The company's revenue growth slowed in the third quarter of this year. Maintaining its lofty valuation may depend on selling more companies on the AI-first approach espoused by Lesse and other Anthropic leaders.
莱斯表示，她团队中的人员仍在设计系统和验证方案，然后将实际编码工作交给Claude。她说，当公司将一个大型代码库的编程语言从Python改为Rust时，员工开发出了一种验证最终产品的方法。“但构建各个组件、实际监控各个组件、并真正确保我们对结果感到满意的那些苦活累活，全程都是由智能体完成的，”莱斯说。
Lesse said that people on her teams are still designing systems and verifications, and then offloading the actual coding to Claude. She said that when the company changed the programming language of a major codebase from Python to Rust, workers developed a way to verify the final product. "But the grunt work of building the pieces and actually monitoring the pieces and actually making sure that we felt good about it, that was agents all the way down," Lesse said.
莱斯表示，Anthropic已经允许智能体自主修复测试，无需任何人工交互，并且鉴于过去一年AI模型的进步，公司正在考虑如何让员工适应智能体自主对实际代码库进行更改。“作为工程负责人，我们很害怕，我们说，让我们对此非常谨慎，但我认为这条线已经开始被推进了，”莱斯说。Anthropic还在全公司范围内推广使用了Claude Code。
Lesse said Anthropic already lets agents fix tests autonomously, with no human interaction, and it's thinking about how staff can get comfortable with agents autonomously making changes to the actual codebase, given the improvements in AI models over the last year. "As engineering leaders, we're like terrified, and we're like, let's be really careful about this, but I think the line is starting to push," Lesse said. Anthropic has also embraced Claude Code companywide.
该公司上周发布了一份报告，称随着AI智能体在公司内部承担的工作越来越多，公司招聘的初级技术岗位所占比例有所下降。而在5月，Anthropic表示，Claude当时编写了公司全部生产代码的80%以上。
It released a report last week saying that as AI agents have worked more inside the company, it has hired for a smaller share of junior technical positions. And in May, Anthropic said that Claude then wrote more than 80% of the entire company's production code.
