This is a beta feature where Claude code draws the interface on the terminal’s alternate screen buffer like vim or htop.

While I'm very bullish on Anthropic, I'm a bit wary about their IPO because it seems to me that they're filing now while their financials look good and before other trends like the decline of tokenmaxxing and their compute bills catch up.
Oh, are they filing now? I think their financials look somewhere in between devastating and criminal, so I'm really looking forward to the IPO!
