Is there a guide on this anywhere?

As a bystander, I'm excited by this. I don't know what it'll be, but I have a sense some interesting, powerful, and secure new ways of shipping code could come from this marriage...

Hmm… is there like a chart that shows rough quality vs cost?

How does Haiku 5.5 compare with modern alts in its class, like Luna-6 or OSS models of similar speed/cost?

Super cool. Does it, or will it, work with image, audio, or video input?

Open weight or even closed with a proprietary license, I'd definitely like to be able to run it locally for all sorts of physical world stuff.

Got it! So I could for example plug this into my mac mini at home and reboot it after a power failure or something while traveling?

I've never entered a datacenter before – what does that mean / what is it for?

I've used https://delawareinc.com/ to incorporate several companies over the years, and always had a good experience. Their website looks pretty old-school but it works well and their service is very prompt.

So I wouldn't Stripe controls all of the early incorporation infrastructure – just the flashy stuff (which I'm sure is great too).

I think that gets you access to mythos, which doesn't have the safeguards. It's configured as a separate model.

GP seemed to be commenting on the Trump administration, not necessarily individuals of conservative persuasion. The Trump administration diverges materially from traditional conservative doctrine in many ways.

> ... and their team is joining Anthropic to build, who knows, some dumb integration to make Hubspot data available in Claude, or something equally as boring.

Fun fact, I named it "Stainless" after Stainless Steel pipes, likening ourselves to a high-end plumbing supply shop. If you look at the earliest versions of stainlessapi.com on archive.org, you'll see our original motto was "Quality fittings for your REST API".

All that is to say, the incredibly "boring" infrastructural work of making "boring" APIs like Hubspot's more usefully accessible is absolutely the kind of thing I'm excited to do at Anthropic :)

(It also happens to be what got us all excited to work at stainless in the first place, but of course, we understand it's not for everyone!)
