Alex is a research PM at Anthropic building the next Claude
model. He gave me a rare inside look at how the research team
operates — including how they turn user feedback into model
training, how they decide which capabilities to prioritize, and
how they improve Claude’s personality. If you’re wondering how
frontier model development actually works, then this interview is
a must watch.

Alex and I talked about:

(00:00) How Anthropic treats each new model as a product

(04:58) Building adaptive thinking into Claude

(07:07) Why Claude is starting to dream

(11:15) "If it's not a one-way door, then it's essentially free"

(15:40) How Alex uses Claude Cowork to pressure test his docs

(17:05) Inside Anthropic's eval process for new models

(21:02) How Anthropic trains Claude's character

(32:39) The consciousness question Anthropic is quietly working
on
