At 16, Michele Catasta set out to make software open to everyone. What followed was a decade of research at Stanford and Google X in training state-of-the-art models, all in service of that goal. He joined Replit as a pioneer in agentic building: the place where anyone can take an idea and build it in natural language, with no coding experience required. Over 40 million users are doing exactly that, many discovering for the first time that they have permission to build. None of it works without the right model. Replit chose Claude in early 2024 for its coding capabilities, and that decision has evolved into a partnership. Anthropic brings Replit in on early research previews, they build against what's coming, and when a new model ships, Replit ships the same day.
The Problem Solvers is a series from Anthropic speaking to founders about how they're solving problems, and why they build with Claude.
