It's amazing that it "works", but viability is another issue.
It cost $20,000 and it worked, but it's also totally possible to spend $20,000 and have Claude shit out a pile of nonsense. You won't know until you've finished spending the money whether it will fail or not. Anthropic doesn't sell a contract that says "We'll only bill you if it works" like you can get from a bunch of humans.
Do catastrophic bugs exist in that code? Who knows, it's 100,000 lines, it'll take a while to review.
On top of that, Anthropic is losing money on it.
All of those things combined, viability remains a serious question.
