[0:00] I was definitely the first prompt
[0:01] engineer at Anthropic. I might have been
[0:02] the first in the world. We treat the
[0:04] model as if it's a product to some
[0:05] degree. With every new model, we are
[0:07] specking out exactly what do we want
[0:09] this model to be good at. When the agent
[0:10] isn't running a task for you, or maybe
[0:12] it's in the background, it's actually
[0:13] going through its memories, finding
[0:15] things that [music] might contradict,
[0:16] pruning them, cleaning them up. This
[0:18] concept of dreaming. Engine time isn't
[0:21] as much of a one-way door these days. If
[0:22] it's something that's not a one-way
[0:24] door, that's effectively free at this

[0:43] Alex, it's great to have you here today
[0:45] with Clock Conference. And you used to
[0:48] be head of DevRel at Anthropic, right?
[0:49] And you recently became product manager
[0:51] for the research team, right? Is that
[0:53] it? So,
[0:54] I've been a PM for like over a decade
[0:55] now, too. As a PM, you kind of try to
[0:57] understand the user problem, you try to
[0:59] identify solution, you try to build
[1:00] stuff. But, you know, I have no clue
[1:02] about how a PM works on a research team.
[1:03] Maybe we can talk a little bit about
[1:05] that.
[1:05] >> It's very similar in that sense.
[1:07] Um
[1:08] I'm always wanting to talk to customers,
[1:09] get as
