← All IntelClip / EntertainmentModel improvements, not harness, drove the step changes
From Boris Cherny: Claude Code & the Future of Engineering | Acquired Unplugged · ≈6:26
“This is the thing about building for engineers. It's not a consumer product because engineers are so opinionated in the way they like to use stuff.”
“But fundamentally when I think about the step changes and what percent of my code the model wrote, it was just the model”
What’s in it
- Learn how model upgrades alone drove big coding-agent capability jumps
- See why building for opinionated engineers means many app surfaces
- Hear how features like plan mode emerged from real usage

So that's extremely different than it it only does about 10%. What changed? Um I remember it. It was it in May it was sonnet 4 and opus 4 uh and then in November it was opus 4.5. So it was just the mo the underlying model changing. It was the model. There's a lot of work that went into the harness. There's a lot of work into making Claude Code better. You know like everyone likes to use this stuff differently. This is the thing about building for engineers. It's not a consumer product because engineers are so opinionated in the way they like to use stuff. And so you know we started with a CLI but then we built we built a desktop app. We built a mobile app. We build uh iOS and Android apps. We have like Slack app, GitHub app. You can use Claude Code in whatever way you want. And so a lot of this has was us innovating, learning, trying to figure out what features are useful. And this is like plan mode for example came out of this. A lot of different kind of tools and experiences came out of this. But fundamentally when I think about the step changes and what percent of my code the model wrote, it was just the model like the model
