C compiler with parallel Claudes

Anthropic's post details an experiment that used agent teams of Claude AI to build a C compiler. It explains how to design harnesses and tests for long-running, autonomous software work, and shares lessons on synchronization, parallelization, and progress tracking. It also discusses the approach's limits and the implications for future autonomous development.
