I can't find the word "journey" — I'm disappointed.

Anthropic, it would be nice to actually put a link to the website.

Whats the connection that got them the early in with anthropic?

A useful product that developers who want some easy SDKs across a bunch of languages use?

dgellow•4m ago

Yes, but not only the pure SDK generation. The vision has always been to develop a platform that manages the end-to-end release process. In the case of Anthropic and other enterprise customers we also worked closely with their teams on their API and SDKs design, such as the development of the various streaming helpers

I'm guessing it'll be something around spinning up MCPs easily as an evolution of their product. Just right place, right time

I am going to assume that anything Anthropic acquires is going to be eventually used against you.

Good for them. We built similar tooling at that time, but backed by our own APIs. It's something that has a lot of value, that standardisation needs to exist, but it also makes a lot of sense to fold the team into a company like Anthropic that is so developer centric. Good luck to the team there.

I feel like we are seeing agentic coding tools morph into walled gardens with these acquisitions. Anthropic has restricted claude code usage while OpenAI has sort of let Codex fill the void. I am curious to see how this continues to evolve.

I think that's the normal path for new markets as they consolidate...

I don’t really see where the “walled garden” complaint is coming from. Anthropic spends a lot of effort to keep you from churning through billions of tokens on their flat-rate subscription plan, but that’s a billing detail, and one that I honestly don’t share the outrage about. The technology part of CC is still totally open: skills, MCP, etc. are all open informal standards and there hasn’t been any movement to lock that down.

OpenAI uses stainless for at least some of their SDKs.

Third sentence in the article:

> Founded in 2022, Stainless has powered the generation of every official Anthropic SDK since the earliest days of our API.

This feels like the Apple playbook, but for software tooling--they are becoming vertically integrated.

drewda•6m ago

> As we focus on Claude Platform capabilities and connecting agents to APIs, we’ll be winding down all hosted Stainless products, including our SDK generator. Starting today, new signups, projects, and SDKs will not be available.

For better or worse, it's an acquihire.

I'm really disappointed that such a great service is getting taken off the market. Happy for their team, but sad for the ecosystem.

This has to be somewhat anti-competitive. Why else sunset the SDK generator service but to hurt any other company (OpenAI, etc) who relies on these for their SDKs?
