Episode notes
Joffrey Huntley's Massive Agent Experiment
- Joffrey Huntley used Claude code at a massive scale, spending $450,000 worth of inference on Anthropic's dime.
- He built a programming language called Curses with agents coding while he was away.
GraphQL Powers AI API Orchestration
- The rise of AI agents will massively increase API consumption.
- GraphQL's semantic precision makes it ideal for orchestrating complex API calls by AI.
GraphQL's Semantic API Advantage
- GraphQL structures APIs as networks of objects with clear semantics and documentation.
- This structure helps AI models understand and reliably use complex distributed data.
