Reviewer scorecard
“The Workbench is the best prompt engineering environment available. Test prompts, compare models, and see token counts in real-time. Essential for any Claude API project.”
“If you need distributed AI compute, Ray + Anyscale is the standard. Training and serving at any scale.”
“Clean, functional, does what it needs to. The evaluation tools are underrated — most developers ship prompts without testing. This makes testing easy.”
“Most teams don't need distributed compute. Cloud provider GPU instances handle 90% of fine-tuning needs.”
“Anthropic is building the developer platform, not just the model. Console + Claude Code + Agent SDK — they want developers building on Claude, not just chatting with it.”
“Ray is becoming the distributed computing standard for AI. Anyscale manages the hard parts.”
