Unix 与 OS/360：扩展性问题Unix vs. OS/360: the scaling problem

主持人：1969年，离这里大约30英里的地方，Ken Thompson当时坐在贝尔实验室里。他的妻子刚带着他们一岁的儿子去加利福尼亚探望祖父母，打算待一个月。于是他坐下来，说：“我有一个月时间，还有一个我想做的项目。我要把它拆分开来：用一周构建内核，用一周构建编辑器，用一周构建汇编器，然后呢，再用一周做另一件事。”一个月结束时，他就有了Unix。好吧？Ken Thompson走过的这个过程，有一个很美妙的地方，那就是他拥有所谓的“概念完整性”。这意味着，一个人可以在头脑中掌握整个项目，并从头到尾独立完成整个项目。Host: In 1969, just about 30 miles from here, Ken Thompson uh was sitting at Bell Labs and his wife had just taken their 1-year-old uh son out to California to visit his parents for a month. And so, he sat down and he said, "I have a month and I have this project that I want to do. I'm going to carve it up and in 1 week, I'm going to build a kernel. In 1 week, I'm going to build an editor. In 1 week, I'm going to build an assembler. And then, uh you know, 1 week, I'm going to build uh uh one other thing." And he had at the end of that month, he had uh Unix. Okay? So, what what's beautiful about this process that Ken Thompson went through is that he had what's called conceptual integrity. And that means that one person can hold the entire project in their head and execute the entire project end to end.

还有另一个操作系统，也是一项巨大工程，发生在 20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代初的 IBM。当时他们正试图开发 System/360 和 OS/360。此前，如果你想升级 IBM 计算机，每次升级硬件，都得把随之而来的所有软件重写一遍。因此，OS/360 是一项规模庞大的工程，他们几乎是拿整个公司下注，还雇了成百上千名工程师。他们坐下来，粗略地估算了一下，说：“好吧，这大概要花 5,000 人年。那我们就雇人，最多派 1,000 名工程师来做这个项目，看看能不能在较短时间内完成。”这个项目带来了很多经验教训。There's another operating system uh that uh was uh you know, a huge effort and that happened also in the '60s and the early '70s at IBM when they were trying to build System/360 and OS/360. And this was an undertaking where previously, IBM computers, if you wanted to upgrade your computer, every time you upgraded the actual hardware, you had to rewrite all of the software that came along with it. And so, OS/360 was this massive effort where they really bet the company and they hired tons and tons of engineers and they they sat down just some back of the map back back of napkin math and said, "Okay, this is going to take about 5,000 sort of man-years. So, let's hire and throw as many as 1,000 engineers at this project and see if we can get it done in uh in a a short window." And there was a lot of learnings that came out of that project.

弗雷德·布鲁克斯是这个项目的管理者之一。项目结束后，他说：“好吧，我们学到了很多东西。把它们写下来吧。”于是，他把这些经验写进了一本名为《人月神话》的书里。这本书非常受欢迎，记录了他们在如何组织和管理团队，以及如何构建并交付 OS/360 这个大型项目方面学到的许多经验。其中一个重要结论是，组织团队的一种非常有效的方式，有点像外科手术团队：由一位领导者或负责人带领，身边围绕着十位专家。比如，可以有一位外科医生，还有一位语言专家、一位助手、一位副驾驶，等等。每个人都有自己的专长，但最终由外科医生掌握全局，从而保持整体概念的一致性。Fred Brooks was one of the the managers of the project and he came away and said like, "Okay, we learned a whole bunch of stuff. Let's write it down." So, he wrote it in in this book called The Mythical Man-Month. So, it's like a very popular book. And this is a bunch of organizational learnings and management learnings from how to build and ship this really massive project in OS/360. One of the big takeaways was that a really effective way to organize a team is kind of like a surgical team where you have one sort of leader or one chief, and they're surrounded by 10 experts. And so, you might have you know, the surgeon, and then they have you know, a language lawyer, and they have a sidekick, and they have a co-pilot, and then all of those people have their specialties, but the surgeon ultimately has everything in their head, and they can maintain that conceptual integrity.

这很棒，而且你们能创造奇迹。外科医生和这个小团队一直在这么做。但我们也想采用同样的结构，并把规模进一步扩大。快进到一个月前，也就是几个月前，我们看到 Linux 7.2 发布了。这是另一个操作系统项目。这个项目历时九周，来自 300 家不同公司的 2,600 多名开发者参与了贡献。而它一开始并不是这样的。Linux 的实际贡献方式起初也不是这样，但我们逐渐把参与 Linux 开发的方式发展成了这种结构。所以，如果你回头看看 1998 年的内核邮件列表，就会发现 Linus 当时其实有点儿崩溃了。他收到人们发来的补丁，他们会给他发邮件，然后你知道，会说：“我已经把补丁邮件发给你三次了。”And that's great, and you can perform miracles. Surgeons do it all the time with this small team. But we also want to take that same sort of structure and scale it up much further. We fast-forward to just a a month ago, a couple months ago, we saw Linux 7.2 was released. So, this is another operating system project. This took nine weeks, and we had contributions from 2,600 something different developers across 300 different companies. And it didn't start out that way. Like, the actual contribution to Linux didn't start out that way, but we sort of evolved the way that we can contribute to Linux into this structure. And so, if you look back at the kernel mailing list from 1998, you'll see that Linus was actually like kind of having a bit of a breakdown. He was receiving patches from people they were kind of like emailing him, and then you know, saying like, "I've emailed you three times with my patch.

你怎么还没把这个提交到内核里，或者什么地方去？”他就说：“够了。我要去度假了。我不想再听这些。别再往我收件箱里发了。”可以说，他已经到了忍耐的极限。我觉得，现在很多负责协调和管理大量智能体的人，可能也会开始感受到这种压力：自己成了瓶颈，也到了忍耐的极限。毕竟有一大堆智能体在贡献源源不断的 PR，而我们却坐在那里，在 GitHub 上努力审核 PR，确保一切都如预期般运作。所以，呃，直到几年后我们才真正做出改变。不过，就在 Linus 发帖说“呃，我受够了，我要去度假了”的第二天，另一个人——Larry McVoy——发帖说：“问题在于，Linus 无法扩展。Why haven't you submitted this to the you know, to the kernel or whatever?" And he's like, "That's it. I'm going on vacation. I don't want to hear it. Get out of my inbox." And sort of you know, he he he hit his breaking point. And I think a lot of us who are orchestrating and managing lots of agents now might start to feel this feeling of the being the bottleneck and being the breaking point as we have lots of agents contributing tons and tons of PRs and we're sitting there, you know, in our in our GitHub trying to like approve PRs and make sure that everything works as expected. And so uh it wasn't until a couple years later that we actually changed. But actually the day after Linus posts this like kind of uh you know, I'm done, I'm going on vacation, uh another person posts and they Larry McVoy and he says, "The the problem is that Linus doesn't scale."

而且，呃，Larry 也稍微自我宣传了一下，他说：“我有个想法。我们何不使用版本控制？”他当时有点在推销这款商业产品。呃，所以直到大约四年后的 2002 年，Linus 才说：“好吧，你知道吗？确实如此。我无法扩展这种模式。与其采用星形结构，让每个人都直接向我贡献代码，我们需要更多地以网络方式协作，建立这些信任层级，让大家可以向值得信赖的维护者提交贡献，由他们来审查代码。然后只有那些特殊情况才会被逐级上报。呃，不过最终仍然可以由 Linus 来负责提交到 main 分支。”左边你会看到，这种星形结构中有大约 36 个不同的参与者，都在以某种方式贡献代码。And uh Larry also did a little bit of self-promotion and he's like, "I have an idea. How about we use version control?" And was kind of like pushing this commercial product. Uh and so it actually wasn't until maybe four years later around 2002 that Linus was like, "Okay, you know what? It's true. I don't scale. And instead of uh operating as a star structure where everyone is sort of contributing directly to me, we need to work more as a network where we have these layers of trust and people can submit contributions to trusted maintainers who are going to review that code. And then only those exceptional cases will be surfaced up. Uh but Linus can still kind of like ultimately be the person that is uh committing to main." On the left you'll see this star structure has like 36 different actors that are all kind of contributing in.

在右边，我们最终形成了这样一种漂亮的结构：每一层大概最多只有四个人，逐级向上汇报这些变化。呃，在旧金山，如果你参加了 AI Engineer 大会，就听过 Tarek 和 Gary 的发言。他们说：“我们有 Fable。这真的令人兴奋，现在是时候不再循规蹈矩了。是时候怀抱更大的雄心，打造更宏大的东西了。”Gary 还告诉大家，现在是时候煮沸海洋了。所以我们拥有这些能力非常强大的模型，今天也很期待聊聊，我们如何协调这些模型，让它们组成能够彼此协作的系统，打造真正、真正宏大的项目，并解决更大的难题。On the right we end up in this like nice beautiful structure that only has like maybe at most four people at each level sort of reporting those changes up. Uh in San Francisco, uh if you were at AI Engineer you heard from Tarek and Gary and the message was, "We have Fable. It's really exciting and it's time to be unreasonable. It's time to be more ambitious and build bigger things." And Gary told you it's time to boil the ocean. And so we have these very very capable models and we're excited to talk a little bit today about how we can orchestrate these models into uh systems that can collaborate with each other to build really, really massive uh projects and and solve even bigger problems.

认识 CJ 和 HarrisonMeet CJ & Harrison

那么，我是 CJ Avilla。我是 Anthropic 的技术团队成员，而这是So, I'm CJ Avilla. I am a member of technical staff at Anthropic and this is

嘉宾：我是 Harrison，同时也是 Anthropic 的技术团队成员。大家早上好！大家感觉怎么样？兴奋吗？不错，气氛很热烈。太热烈了。哇！好吧，那我们开始吧。先简单介绍一下这场活动的安排。我们会先讲讲 Claude 托管代理到底是什么、接下来要聊些什么，以及我们要花些时间介绍的整个多代理编排引擎。活动中也会有一部分是动手实践工作坊，所以请拿出笔记本电脑。稍后我们会在幻灯片上提供开发者额度，这样大家就能亲自动手试试我们非常期待推出的这些功能。不过在此之前，我们先简单概述一下这里到底是怎么回事。Guest: Harrison, and I'm also a member of technical staff at Anthropic. And good morning, everybody. How we doing? Excited? Nice. Lot of energy. Lot of energy. WOO. UH ALL RIGHT. WELL, AS WE GET GOING HERE, um just want to give you guys a quick lay of the land of how this session's going to run. Um it's going to be some part like telling you what the heck even is Claude managed agents and what are we about to talk about and like this whole multi-agent uh orchestration engine that we're uh going to spend a little while explaining. Um it's also going to be part hands-on workshop, so um laptops out. We'll have uh developer credits uh on on slide later on, so you can have actually get your hands dirty. Uh try now some of these features that we're super excited to ship. Um but before that, we uh we uh we'll give you a a little bit of over of an overview on what the heck is going on here.

所以，周五，嗯，我们特别期待……So, on Friday, um we are so excited to

Claude 托管代理中的 Flows 简介Introducing Flows in Claude Managed Agents

我们宣布，在 Anthropic 大约四月推出的名为 Claude managed agents 的产品界面中，我们支持一项名为 flows 的新功能。Flows 本质上就像是多智能体编排的下一代版本，你可以让 Claude 完全编排它自己的整个多智能体拓扑结构。就像 CJ 刚才提到的，那些非常复杂、彼此相连的网络，映射着现实世界中的组织。我们设想，未来 Claude 能够基本上自行编排，对吧？而 flows 就是我们在 API 接口中实现这一点的方式。那么，在深入探讨 API 接口和具体体验之前，你们中的许多人可能都熟悉 Claude Code 中的动态工作流。你知道，你输入：“嘿，Claude，去做 X、Y 和 Z。”announce within a product surface called Claude managed agents that Anthropic ships or shipped back in um April that we support a new feature called flows. Flows are essentially like the next version of multi-agent orchestration, where you can let Claude fully orchestrate the entirety of its own multi-agent topology. So, like CJ was just talking about these really complicated interconnected webs uh that map to organizations in the real world, we envision that there's a future where Claude is able to basically orchestrate itself, right? And uh flows are the way that we do that on our API surfaces. So, before we get too deep into uh the API surface and the experience specifically, um a lot of you are probably familiar with dynamic workflows in Claude code. Um, you know, you type in, "Hey Claude, like go and do X, Y, and Z.

使用 ultra code。”它会启动一套相当复杂的智能体网络，而且整个过程都是自动编排的。它底层使用了一个非常有趣的 JavaScript 引擎，基本上可以在 Claude Code 中深度支持类似 map-reduce 的任务。我们知道，这已经成了一个非常受欢迎的产品，大家可以在终端里输入指令并实时使用。幻灯片上有不少示例，不过核心思路是，你不必亲自画出这种分类操作，或者设计一个分发任务、综合结果并进行对抗式验证的拓扑结构——也就是明确规定“这是智能体一，它负责做这些；这是智能体二，然后等智能体一采取某个行动之后再做某事”，诸如此类。你完全可以直接告诉 Claude 使用 ultra code 来实现目标，对吧？Use ultra code." It spins up this like pretty complicated web of agents. It's fully orchestrated itself. It uses a really interesting JavaScript engine under the hood to basically support like map reduced ask like activities in deep within Claude code. Um, and we know that this has become a really, really popular product uh for like typing into a terminal and like using it live. Um, so there's a bunch of examples on slide, but um, the idea is that instead of having to like literally draw out this classifying act or fan out and synthesize adversarial verification style um, like topology where you say like, "This is agent one and it does this and this is agent two and like wait until agent one takes some action and yada yada." Um, you can literally just tell Claude to use ultra code to uh achieve its goal, right?

Claude 会根据我们在内部进行的模型训练，以及它自身的能力，知道如何有效地协调自己，从而完成越来越艰巨的工作。嗯，所以我们认为，这让我们初步尝到了如何利用完全自主的智能体自动化，解决一些我们认为是人类最棘手问题的滋味。嗯，我不知道，我确实特别热衷于这些东西，但我对这一方向的发展真的、真的非常兴奋。嗯，动态工作流真正酷的地方，以及总体来说像这一点……And Claude will just know based on uh model training that we've done internally and generally just uh its own capabilities, how to effectively orchestrate itself in order to accomplish harder and harder work. Um, so we we think this is like we're getting a taste of how we're going to solve some of what we think are humanity's hardest problems using like fully agentic automation. And so this is like, I don't know, I I definitely nerd out about this stuff, but I'm like so, so excited about the direction that this is even headed. Um, what's really cool about dynamic workflows and just generally like this

为什么单智能体会遇到瓶颈Why single agents hit a wall

你使用多智能体拓扑，而不是只用单个智能体，原因在于：单个智能体在处理难度低得多、目标也没那么远大的任务时，就会早早地撑不住。嗯，所以，这里的数字只是大致估算，对吧？单个智能体可以运行一小时。协调器和智能体名册，是我们首次尝试多智能体时采用的方案：我们有一个单独的协调器，下面只有一层智能体，它们可以各自执行非常具体的任务。它能运行得稍久一些。但我们认为，动态工作流才是解决真正棘手问题的关键：它支持任意复杂的嵌套智能体组合，让它们并行运作、彼此交互。我们花了很多时间与用户交流。嗯，我也特别期待今天和大家聊聊，因为我想你们中有些人对行业最新动态也有不少独到见解。you using multi uh multi-agent topologies rather than just a single agent is that it a single agent keels over much, much earlier with much less ambitious tasks. Um, so uh you know, hand waved numbers here, right? Uh a single agent runs for an hour. A coordinator and roster, which is like our first pass at multi-agent where we had like kind of this like single coordinator that like has just one level of agents underneath it that can go off and accomplish very specific tasks um, can run a little bit longer, but then dynamic workflows, we think this is like the key to solving actually hard problems, which enables arbitrarily complex nested sets of uh of agents operating all in parallel and interacting with each other. So, we spent a lot of time talking to our users. Um and I'm also like super excited to talk to all of you guys today because I imagine some of y'all have some hot takes on the latest in the industry as well.

而且，我们一直听到很多共同的主题。嗯，首先，你们正在做一些很疯狂的事情，自己搭建多智能体运行框架，对吧？你们正在构建极其复杂的系统，基本上是为了应对我们刚才谈到的那些单智能体问题。嗯，所以你们得自己实现多智能体编排，还得处理容器重启，对吧？比如说，你有一百个智能体，其中一个在任务进行到两小时的时候挂掉了，你该怎么从它停下的地方接着做？还要确保你大致了解整个拓扑的状态，等等。嗯，要做到这些往往一点也不简单。嗯，另外，幻灯片左下角这一点，基本上说的是：你得让一个智能体跟踪它下面的比如说 60 个智能体。</numerusformAnd we we've we've been hearing a lot of common common themes throughout. Um so, first of all, you guys are doing some crazy stuff building out your own multi-agent harnesses, right? You've got incredibly complicated systems that you're building in order to basically solve for some of those problems that we were talking about just a second ago with the single agent. Um so, you're you're hand rolling multi-agent orchestration. You're having to handle container restarts, right? Like what if one of your agents out of a hundred dies uh you know, like two hours into the task. How do you actually pick back up where that agent left off? Make sure you understand generally the state of the whole topology, etc. Um and it's often like very non-trivial to do so. Um additionally, we uh this this bottom left point in the slide is basically like you're having a single agent have to keep track of like 60 as an as an example agents underneath it.

就像 CD 说的，Linus 没法以那种方式扩展规模。你知道，他是个非常出色的协调者，但遗憾的是，单个智能体能记住的东西总归是有限的。最后还有一点，你得想办法检查你搭建出来的智能体图。你得逐个去戳图里的节点，问问它在流程中进行到哪一步了吗？还是把所有事情都交给协调者处理？一般来说，你怎么才能随时了解图的状态呢？嗯，我们已经从使用 Cloud Code 的人那里听说过这个问题了，对吧？嗯，我们自己最初几版 API 也有这个问题。我记得有个梗，当时大概是 Opus 4.5 发布之后，模型能力突飞猛进，让自主编程变得极其强大，于是人们就把笔记本电脑半开着到处走，免得 Cloud Code 退出，还要确保他们的智能体仍在运行。And like CD was talking about Linus doesn't scale like that, you know, he's an incredible coordinator, but unfortunately, there's just like some cap to how much the single agent um is able to keep in their head. And then last but not least, you have to figure out how do you even inspect the graph of agents that you've you've built out. Do you have to go and like poke at each of the nodes in the graph and like ask where it's at in the in the process? Do you run everything through the coordinator? Generally speaking, like how how do you understand the state of the graph at any point in the process? Um so, we've already heard this just from people using Cloud Code, right? Um and our first renditions of our own APIs as well. Don't let me remember there there was this meme that when I think it was probably like post Opus 4 5 when when the models really took off and the the capability just made autonomous coding so so so powerful where people were like walking around with their laptops slightly open so that their cloud code wouldn't die and like making sure that their agents were still running.

这就像让人在流程中不断按“批准”，一遍又一遍地批准，只为了让事情继续运转。我们认为这会造成很大的限制，对吧？如果我们想解决真正棘手的、关乎整个社会的问题，这种做法根本无法支撑我们的雄心。快进到 Claude 托管智能体，以及我们如何在自己的生态系统中嵌入这种复杂的多智能体拓扑结构。我知道在座的很多人可能……其实我先问一下，有多少人听说过 Claude 托管智能体？It's like people in the park like pressing two like approve approve approve approve approve just to keep the the thing running. And we think that that's like hugely limiting, right? Like that is if we want to solve truly hard like society level problems, that's just not going to scale for our ambitions. So fast forward to Claude managed agents and how we've embedded this kind of complex multi-agent topology within our own ecosystem. So I recognize that a lot of you in this room probably actually let me ask how many of you have heard of Claude managed agents?

主持人：[嗤笑]Host: [snorts]

嘉宾：哇，这结果确实相当不错，差不多有半个房间的人。对于你们当中实际上还没了解过的人，应该去看看。我基本上过去一年左右每天都在想着这件事。说到底，它本质上是一个 API 接口层，可以让 Anthropic 管理代理的生命周期。你定义一个代理，它基本上就是一份技能、工具、MCP 服务器等的列表。然后你在一个会话中实例化这个代理，会话本质上就是一个用来完成实际工作的请求。接着，这个代理就会着手行动，根据它要完成的目标大显身手。所以我们提供了一整套 API 接口层，能够存储这些有状态的 API 资源，并通过持久化事件日志实时监控一切。所以，去看看 Claude Managed Agents 吧。当然，我们今天在这里，就是要和大家聊聊它。Guest: Oh wow, that's actually pretty solid. It's about 50% of the room. For those of you who are not in fact did you should check it out. It's also like all I think about every day of my life basically for the past year or so. But it's essentially an API surface that lets you have Anthropic manage the the agent life cycle. So you define an agent it's basically like a list of skills, tools, MCP servers, etc. You instantiate that agent within a session which is like a request essentially to to get real work done. And then that agent just goes off and goes off and cooks based on whatever it is that it's trying to accomplish. So we have a whole API surface that makes it possible to store these like stateful API resources and then monitor everything in real time via durable event log. So yeah, check it out Claude managed agents and what we're here of course to to talk you talk to you all about it.

不过回想起来，我觉得我们是在五月推出了我们称为多智能体 V1 的东西，对吧？在这种模式下，你得定义主智能体能够启动的每一个子智能体。然后，你基本上还得监听我们所说的每个智能体正在处理的所有线程，对吧？所以，嗯，这很像操作系统，对吧？整个进程有不同的线程，每个线程都有自己的上下文。嗯，它们之间会共享一些状态，但通常要共享状态，你就得管理所有线程之间来回发送的消息。嗯，我想说的是，尽管我们的 API 接口支持这种模式，但设置起来并不是件特别简单的事。Um but back in I think it was May we shipped what we called like multi-agent V1, right? And this is where you have to define each of the sub agents that your primary agent is able to spin up. And then you have to listen to basically all of what we call the threads that each of those agents are operating on, right? So, um, it's a lot like, you know, an operating system, right? Where you have the the overall process has different threads, each of those threads have their own context. Um, there is some uh state that's shared between them, but typically in order to share state, you have to like manage message message sends uh back and forth between all the threads. Um, my point in saying all this is that um it it wasn't the most uh trivial thing to set up even though our API surface supports it.

嗯，不过快进到上周五，我们发布了这个。Um, but fast forward to last Friday, um, where we shipped this

动态工作流的工作原理How dynamic workflows work

云托管智能体中有一种叫作动态工作流的新东西，我们认为，这能让人们以非常简单的方式，更轻松、更可行地发挥这些能力日益增强的模型的潜力。它的工作方式是：你会有一个主智能体，负责制定计划，确定如何完成任务。比如说，把我那有一百万行代码的单体代码库从 Python 迁移到 Rust。嗯，这个智能体启动并制定计划后，就能自动分派任务，创建一组自己的智能体；它会根据自身的……我想说是判断能力，或者说能力水平，动态地启动和关闭这些智能体。在多智能体编排的多个不同阶段中，它能够完成一个个独立且可验证的工作单元，而你不必管理这些智能体之间的任何连接。new thing called dynamic workflows within cloud managed agents, and we think that this is like way easier and way more possible to get power out of the these increasingly capable models in a very trivial way. So, the way that it works is that you have a lead agent that is essentially responsible for creating a plan for how it wants to accomplish a task. So, you know, migrate my million line mono repo from Python to Rust as as an example. Um, that agent is able to then spin up Once that agent spins up it its plan, it's able to automatically fan out to its own set of agents that it spins up and down based on uh its own uh uh I I guess rationality or um capability, and across multiple different phases of the multi-agent orchestration, it's able to accomplish like discrete, verifiable units of work without you having to like manage any of the interconnections between these things.

嗯，简单来说，第一阶段可能是读取文件，并启动一大批探索型代理，让它们去处理这些事情。第二阶段也许是从这些文件中识别出一些信息。我也不太确定。显然，现在这些代理比我聪明得多，能想出比我当场能想到的更好的方案。不过最后，我们认为，这本质上就是通过 API 接口，在平台上完成极其艰巨工作的途径。所以，如果你想把这类功能构建到自己的产品中，这是一种非常简单的实现方式，你不必费心再次打开 Cloud Code，也不必琢磨如何把它连接到自己的系统上。因此，在这些动态工作流运行时，你可以非常轻松地实时查看正在发生的事情。Um, so, very basically, it might be like phase one, like read the files, and it spins up a bunch of explorer agents to go off and do so. Phase two, maybe I I don't know, identify something about those files. Obviously, the the agents are way smarter than me uh these days and would would come up with a better plan than than I could on the spot. Um, but then at the end, um, you we think that this is essentially like the path to getting really, really, really hard work done on platform via an API surface. So, if you want to build like this into your products, this is a really trivial way for you to do so without you having to somehow like have Cloud Code open again and I don't know, like connect that to your to your own systems. So, while these dynamic workflows are running, it's very trivial to first of all watch what's happening in real time.

有一个统一的事件流，基本上能实时向你展示代理正在做的一切。你可以逐个查看代理，了解实时发生了哪些事件。此外，我们知道令牌消耗过多确实是个问题，因此你可以在启动会话之前为其设置预算，这样就不会一下子消耗大量令牌。再比如，假设你有某个系统会监听代理实时执行的操作。如果你觉得它们可能会走向的方向不太理想，或者你想实时引导它们，那么你可以通过我们的 API 接口直接中断并停止它们。与 Cloud Code 相比，我意识到这可能会让人有点困惑，因为它们都是工作流，对吧？There's a single event stream that basically gives you everything that the agents are doing in real time. You can check agent by agent what the events what events are happening in real time. On top of that, we know that token hunger is like a real problem and you can set budgets on your sessions before kicking them off so you don't actually only burn substantial amounts of tokens. And then if you let's say that you have like some system that's listening to generally what the agents are doing in real time. You feel not so excited about the direction that they might be going or you you want to steer them in real time, then you can do so by just like stopping them by interrupting via our API surface. So, in comparison to Cloud Code, I I recognize that like this can be a little bit confusing because the they're both workflows, right?

不过我们今天讨论的是 Cloud Managed Agents 中的这些工作流。我们提供的是一套 API 接口，你可以将它集成到自己的应用中、内部流程中，或者任何你想把 Cloud 嵌入自身系统的地方。你不必一直在终端里输入命令，也不必实时与它交互。也许你想把它接入 CI，对吧？这就是一种非常简单直接的做法。嗯，在这里的对比表中，我想特别强调的是，我们看到很多用户会按计划运行这些工作流，或者监听 Webhook。GitHub 是一个相当经典的例子：也许你想构建一个自动搜寻 Bug 的工作流，对吧？稍后我们会实际聊到并展示一下。But we're talking today about these workflows within Cloud Managed Agents. So, we're an API surface that you should be able to integrate into your own application surfaces or your own internal processes or your own, you know, whatever it is that you might want to wherever you want to like embed Cloud within your systems. You don't have to be like typing on a terminal or interacting with the thing in real time. Maybe you want to hook it up to CI, right? Like this is like the the trivial way to do so. Um So, in our comparison chart here, I think the thing that I would highlight is that we we see a lot of users using like running these things on schedules, listening to webhooks. GitHub example is a pretty pretty classic one of like maybe you want to build out a bug hunter workflow, right? We'll actually talk about and and show show off a little bit later.

嗯，是的，我想这大概就是我想在这里分享的内容。嗯，话说到这儿，我们开始做其中一件事吧。嗯，Um and yeah, I think that that's probably about what I want to share here. Um, so with that said, let's go ahead and start one of these things. Um,

我就不继续啰嗦了。咱们，呃，来看看吧。是吗？对。对，衔接得真自然。enough of me yapping. Let's uh, let's check it out. Is that Yeah. Yeah, seamless transition.

主持人：我看看。你能看到那个吗？嗯，那儿……Host: Let's see. Can you see that? Yeah, there

嘉宾：好，太棒了。好了，大家都没问题吧？好，我把它放大一点。嗯，我也知道你们当中有些人可能以前从没见过 Cloud Console，所以我先花一分钟简单介绍一下。那就请大家稍等我一下。Cloud Console 是你作为 API 集成者管理 Anthropic API 服务中几乎所有资源的地方。所以在控制台里，我现在位于默认工作区，可以看到这个挺不错的下拉菜单。我稍微缩小一下画面，这样你们就能看到左侧这个不太好看的下拉菜单，叫作“管理代理”。“管理代理”产品的所有 API 资源都在这里。今天我们也会主要在这里操作。嗯，点击“快速入门”，你会看到有很多工作流程，基本上只需点击一下就能开始使用。</final>Guest: All right, sweet. All right, we all good? Okay, I'm going to make it a little bit bigger. Um, so I also recognize that some of y'all might not have ever seen the Cloud Console before, so just I'll spend a minute here talking a little bit about it. So so so so hang with me here. The Cloud Console is where you as an API integrator can manage essentially all of your resources within Anthropic's API service. So in the console, I'm in the default workspace and I'll see this nice drop-down. I'll zoom out a second just so you can see on the left side this not nice drop-down called manage agents. This is where all of the API resources live for the manage agents product. It's also where we're going to be spending our time today. Um, if you click into the quick start, you can see that there's a whole bunch of basically one click to get you going kinds of uh, workflows that you can run.

但如果你滚动到页面底部，就会看到这里有一个很不错的小标签，叫作动态工作流。这就是我过去几分钟一直在讲的内容。考虑到我知道现场有不少金融领域的朋友，我们就来运行一下股票自选列表扫描器动态工作流。嗯，你可以看到，这个配置本质上是在创建一个智能体，它使用 Claude Opus 5.5，传入名为 multi-agent 2026-10-01 的类型，然后提供一段系统提示词，基本上就是说明智能体本身是什么，也就是智能体的角色设定。嗯，我就不在这上面多费口舌了。不过，为了让大家了解一下，点击“使用此模板”时，底层创建的就是这个智能体资源。那我们开始运行，看看效果如何。But if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see this nice little tab here called dynamic workflow. And that's what I've spent the last few minutes talking about. So because I recognize there is a a bunch of finance oriented folks in the room, we're going to run the stock watch list scanner dynamic workflow. Um, so you [clears throat] can see what this config is doing is essentially creating a agent that's using Claude Opus 5.5 passing in this type called multi-agent 2026-10-01 and then providing a system prompt that is basically like what what the agent itself is is uh, what the persona of the agent is. Um, I'm not going to belabor this too much, but um, basically the what for all of your edification, this is creating the agent resource under the hood when we click use this template. So, let's go ahead and get it rolling and see see how this goes.

嗯，所以你的智能体要在现实世界中完成任何事情，首先需要的就是一个环境，对吧？本质上，这是一台供 Claude 操作的计算机。嗯，过去——天哪，大概有 10 到 12 个月了吧——我们一直在努力让大家认识到，给 Claude 使用计算机的权限，能让它在各方面的能力都大幅提升；而配置环境，就是你让 Claude 使用这台计算机的方式。我已经创建好了一个环境，所以就不再重新创建了。但如果我要从头创建一个新的，只要点击这个“创建”按钮就行了。嗯，我今天早上测试时用的环境叫 stock watchlist scanner env。你可以看到，我只要点击这个写着“开始会话”的按钮就可以了。Um, so the first thing that your agent is going to need in order to accomplish anything in the real world is an environment, right? This is a a computer essentially for for Claude to operate on. Um, for the last, oh my gosh, like maybe something like 10 or 12 months at this point, we we've really been about in that giving Claude access to a computer makes it way way way more capable just across the board and configuring your environment is like the the way uh, that you give uh, Claude access to this computer. I've already created an environment. Um, so I'm not going to recreate it, but if I was creating a new one from scratch, I would just hit this four button. But the um, stock watchlist scanner env is the environment that I used when testing things out this morning and you can see that I can just click this button that says start a session.

嗯，所以我对 Apple、Nvidia、Amazon、JPM、XOM、COST 感兴趣。我也不确定。还有什么应该加进来吗？嗯，嗯。我也不知道。我先不加了，因为我现在没什么创意。嗯，那我们就按回车。这样做会启动一个会话。真正的多智能体编排就会在这里发生。嗯，我马上就会深入介绍。我们会实际看看里面发生了什么，不过笼统来说，这只是使用我们的 API 目前在托管智能体中支持的现有基础功能，然后去完成真正的工作。那我们来看看会话面板。这里可以看到我在这个平台上做过的其他事情。嗯，抱歉，这里的缩放有点奇怪。嗯，不过我会快速带大家过一遍，因为我不确定有多少人在线下真实环境中见过这个。Um, and so I am interested in Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, JPM, XOM, COST. I don't know. Anything else I should add in here? Um, Mhm. I don't know. I'll leave it because I'm not feeling very creative right now. Um, so let's go ahead and hit enter. And what this is doing is kicking off a session. That's where the actual multi-agent orchestration is going to happen. Um, I'll jump into that in just a second. We'll like actually take a look at what's going on, but broadly speaking, this is just using the existing primitives that our API supports today in managed agents and going off and getting real work done. So, let's jump into the sessions pane. This is where you can see my other stuff I've been doing on the platform. Um, and sorry, the zoom is a little funky here. Um, but I'm going to do a whirlwind tour of this because again, I'm not sure how many folks have seen this live in the real world.

嗯，不过在这个例子里，我们有一个智能体，也就是我们的股票观察列表扫描智能体。这就像是——嗯，我想打个比方，我忘了那个负责监督整个网络的最终人物叫什么了，但这就像金字塔顶端的人，也就是 CEO，由他来管理下面的所有人。嗯，接下来我们有运行环境，也就是我刚才说的那台 Claude 正在其中运行的计算机，然后还有一大堆关于实时动态的信息。嗯，所以你可以看到，这个智能体已经开始执行任务了。嗯，这就是实际运行过程。嗯，我们马上会更详细地解释其中一些抽象概念是什么，不过简单来说，Claude 正在根据自己的编排方式，一步一步地行动；它使用的是自己定义的一组智能体，逐步完成每一项任务。Um, but in this case, we've got our agent that's our stock watchlist scanner agent. This is like the uh, I guess in the analogy um, I forget the the the name of the final person who's like the overseeing the web of everything, but this is like the person at the top of the pyramid, the the CEO if you will who's managing everybody else underneath them. Um then we've got the environment that's the again the computer that I was talking about where Claude is operating and then we've got a bunch of information about what's happening in real time. Um so you can see the agent is off and doing something. Um so here's here's the actual run happening. Um and we'll explain more in detail about like what some of these abstractions are in just a second, but basically like Claude is going step-by-step based on its own self-orchestration using its own self-defined essentially set of agents to go off and step-by-step achieve each of these things.

所以你们可以看到我之前提到的那个会话线程，也就是单个上下文窗口、单个智能体实例，正在并行启动。嗯，是啊，挺酷的。我也说不好。我觉得，基本上光靠向 Claude 提示，这一切就能自动发生，真是挺棒的。我们可以跳到之前的会话看看进展，因为那边比这里稍微深入一些。嗯，是啊，这基本上就是在展示我刚才展示的同一件事，不过现在这些都已经完成了。我也不太确定。呃，我们的输出文件我就不细讲了，但这里的重点是，在这个例子里，我们每一步大概只有六个并发运行的智能体。So you can see like the the session thread thing I was talking about earlier which is like the the single context window, the single instantiation of an agent um is is being spun up in parallel. Um so yeah, pretty cool. I I I don't I don't know. I think it's pretty pretty sweet that all this just happens basically by by prompting Claude and uh we we can jump into uh what what uh what's happening in our prior session because it's a little bit farther along than this one. Um so yeah, the this is basically just showing the the same thing I was just showing, but these are all done now and I don't know. Uh I our output file that's I'm not going to go into too much detail on, but basically the the the main point here is that and we've we've had I think in this case it was only like six concurrent agents or so at each step.

嗯，不过 Claude 可以根据任务的复杂程度，动态增加或减少代理的数量。嗯，我想想还有没有别的想给大家看的。嗯，我觉得这基本上涵盖了这个界面的内容。不过我们当然可以稍后回答问题，进一步深入聊聊。你介意切回去一下吗？Um but Claude can can spin up and down the the number of agents based on the complexity of the task. Um yeah, I'm trying to think if there's anything else I want to show there. Um I think that that mostly covers just like the the what this surface is. Um but we can of course uh take questions in a little bit to, uh, uh go a little bit deeper. Do you mind jumping back?

主持人：嗯，不，开始吧。呃。嗯。Host: Yeah, no, let's do it. Um. Yeah.

嘉宾：又一次流畅的转场。Guest: Another seamless transition.

主持人：嗯。Host: Yeah.

嘉宾：是的，所以在上一个演示中，Guest: Yeah, so in the in the previous demo,

从控制台到生产环境：调优各个阶段From console to production: tuning each phase

谢谢你，Harrison。嗯，讲解得很好。哇。嗯，刚才就是一个示例，展示了如何在控制台中进行原型设计，逐步设置你的流程，并在控制台中测试它。这是一种非常常见的做法，可以用来进行实验，看看流程的运行是否符合预期。等你对流程的运行方式满意后，针对你的具体用例，通常就会把它集成到你自己的应用程序或工作流中的某个环节。比如说，你可能想按计划触发这个观察列表扫描器，让它每天或每个工作日运行一次，比如在开盘前运行；你可以将它安排在开盘前 5 分钟运行，这样就能在开盘前拿到报告。thank you, Harrison. Yeah, good walk-through. Woo. Yeah. Um. So, that was all like, uh, an example of how you might prototype in the console and going through and setting up your your your, uh, your flow, testing it out in the console. This is a really common way to go through and experiment and see if the flow is behaving as you expected. And then once you're happy with the way that your flow works, for whatever your use case is, typically you'll go and then integrate this into some part of your your own application or your own workflow. So, whether that's like, oh, I actually want to trigger this uh, watch list scanner on a schedule so that it runs every day or every weekday, you know, before market open so I can like schedule this to run 5 minutes before or something so that I get my report right before market open.

嗯，或者你可能想做一些事情，比如从 Slack 或其他类似的界面启动这些流程，或触发这些任务。这里是创建 agent 的代码。只要传入这个多智能体配置，就能启用多智能体。然后，当你创建第一个事件并把它发送给主 agent 时，只要说“运行一个工作流”就行。这样就能让流程启动并运行起来。你只需要告诉 Claude：是的，使用多智能体；是的，运行一个工作流。 默认情况下，这是最简单的入门方式。不过在这个示例中，Claude 会在执行过程中按需创建完成工作所需的子 agent。你也可以在 agent 配置中传入预先配置好的子 agent。Uh, or you might want to do something where you want to kick off these flows or trigger these tasks from Slack or some some other like interface. And so this is, uh, the code for how you would, uh, create the agent. So, it's just like passing in this multi-agent config to enable multi-agent. And then when you create your first event and send that, uh, that first event to the lead agent, you're going to just say, run a workflow. And that's all you need to do to get flows up and running and working. It's just to like tell tell Claude, yes, use multi-agent and yes, run a workflow. Now, by default, this is kind of like the easiest way to get started, but, um, in this example, Claude is going to like on the fly create whatever sub-agents are required to uh to perform that work. And so um it's it's also possible in the uh in the agent config to pass in preconfigured uh subagents.

所以，如果你有一组子代理，知道如何查看 Yahoo Finance、某些新闻来源、美国证券交易委员会的 EDGAR 网站之类的内容，那么，如果你有专门负责研究流程中某些重要活动的子代理，也可以在配置代理时将它们设置进去。你可以设置专门负责某项工作的独立代理。还有一点我觉得现在值得了解的是，你还可以让这些代理使用自定义技能和 MCP 服务器。你可以让它们使用你自己的工具，也就是在环境中运行的自定义工具。它们确实非常强大，而且还能与工作流协同运作。我们之前稍微聊过运行环境，你也可以在自己的环境中运行它——比如，使用你自己的沙箱。So, if you have like a set of subagents that know how to like look at uh whatever Yahoo Finance or certain news sources or, you know, the the SEC's Edgar website or whatever. Like if if you have subagents that specialize in certain activities that are important to your research process, you can also configure those uh as part of setting up your agent. So, you can set up uh individual agents that specialize in something. Another thing that's kind of like um really uh I think is is nice to know at this point is that you can also give these agents access to custom skills, MCP servers. You can give them access to uh run your your own um uh yeah, like custom tools that run inside of the environment. So, uh they're really really powerful and then all that works in concert with flows. Um and we talked a little bit about the environment and you can also run that environment on your own um like you can bring your own sandboxes.

所以，如果你愿意，可以在自己的基础设施中运行这个自托管环境。我们再简单回顾一下这个自选列表扫描器的工作方式。通常，如果你要用单个智能体创建一个自选列表扫描器，可能会打开 Cloud Code，然后说：“这些是股票代码。请研究一下它们，然后回来告诉我结果。”Cloud 或其他任何单个智能体都会尽力逐一查看这些股票代码，但单个智能体在处理这类任务时会遇到一些困难。稍后我们会谈谈这些困难，以及 Flows 如何解决它们。使用 Flows 时，我们要做的是把股票代码列表拆分开，然后将每个股票代码传给一个扫描智能体。这样我们就进入扫描阶段了。So, you can run this self-hosted environment in your own infra if you want to. So, um just running through again kind of like what that watchlist scanner is doing. So, uh typically, if you were to create a watchlist scanner with a single agent, you might go into Cloud Code and say, "Here's the tickers. Please go research them and come back and tell me." And um Cloud or any any like single agent would try to do its best to look at each of those tickers, but there's a couple different things that agents are going to struggle with when it's just a single agent. And we'll talk about those struggles later and how uh flows addresses those. Um but what uh what with flows, what we're going to do is like split up that list of tickers and for each ticker, we're going to pass it to a scan agent. So, we're going going about like the scan phase.

所以，我们取一个单独的股票代码，把它传给扫描代理。这样就形成了一个独立的上下文，它只关注这一个股票代码，不会受到其他股票代码或其他上下文中的搜索结果影响。扫描完成后，它可以把结果交给下一阶段；此时，审核步骤也有自己的独立上下文，可能需要也可能不需要把结果传回扫描器，或者提取需要写入报告的详细信息。嗯，我们尝试过把这个观察列表扫描器作为单个代理运行，也尝试过用工作流来运行。嗯，大多数情况下，当你考虑使用工作流时，可以这样想：“好，我想确保自己能非常全面地审视要解决的问题，深入探究，确保不遗漏任何细节，而且我愿意为此花钱。”So, we take one single ticker and pass it to a scan agent, and that is an isolated context where all it cares about is its one ticker, and it can operate without being like influenced by any of the other tickers or any of the other search results from the other contexts. Once that scan is done, it can pass it off to the next phase, and now like the review step is also its own isolated context, which may or may not need to like pass back to the scanner or surface those report details that need to be written out. Um and we went through and we ran kind of like this watch list scanner as a single agent and also as flows. And um in in most cases, when you think about using flows, you want to think about like, "Okay, I want to make sure that I have a really, really comprehensive look at this problem that I'm trying to solve, and I want to go really deep and make sure that I'm leaving no stone unturned, and I'm willing to spend the money to do so."

所以，你会看到右下角这里，运行一个流程的成本要高得多；但在中间的面板里，你也会看到，它在查找所有细节方面要有效得多。如果你用过动态工作流，可能也在 Claude Code 中遇到过类似的情况。嗯，所以，这也是个机会，可以聊聊你在提示 Claude 构建流程时，如何让它在不同阶段调用不同的资源。比如，你可能会说：“好吧，我其实想给扫描阶段分配更多测试时计算资源。”你可以提示 Claude 说：“请使用……嗯，或者我们换个说法：扫描阶段可以用 Haiku——这是一个非常快速、高效的模型，它要做的就是上网扫描，对吧？”And so, what you'll see on the bottom right here is that like it costs uh much more to run a flow, but it also in the middle pane, you'll see that it like is much more effective at finding all of the details. And uh if you've used uh you know, dynamic workflows, you've probably experienced something similar with Claude Code. Um so, yeah, it's this is uh also an opportunity to talk about like your um when you're prompting Claude to build a flow, you can ask it to throw different resources at different phases. So, you might want to say, "Okay, I actually want to allocate more test time compute to the scan phase." So, you can prompt Claude and say, "Please use uh um you know, or actually let's say for the scan phase, we can use Haiku, a really fast, efficient model that's all it's going to do is just go out and scan the internet, right?"

所以，我们可以说：“你知道，启动大概两个 Haiku 代理，让它们针对每个股票代码做一次非常全面的扫描。”这可能是一个非常实惠的阶段。然后你会说：“好吧，其实等我拿到所有网页并开始查看细节时，有时候会发现自己漏掉了一些细节。所以我想在审核阶段多投入一些。我要让 Fable 深入审核返回的所有细节。所以我要说：‘Claude，请在审核阶段使用一个 Fable 代理，也许针对每个股票代码安排两三个代理来审核。’”这样，你可以想象这些流程中的每一个，都能根据你想在流程的那个环节投入多少资源而扩展或收缩。嗯，是的，所以这是一个非常有效的方法，让你可以在每个阶段尝试调整投入，以获得自己想要的确切结果。And so, we can say, "You know, spin up uh maybe two Haiku agents per ticker to go and like do a really comprehensive scan." And that might be like a very affordable phase. And then you say, "Okay, actually once I get all the web pages back and I'm going through the details, sometimes I'm missing those details. So, actually I want to like invest more in the review phase. So, I want to have Fable review all the details that came back in depth. So, I'm going to say, 'Claude, please use a Fable agent at the review phase and maybe like do two or three agents per ticker at the review phase.'" And so, you can kind of like imagine each of these flows being something that you can kind of like expand and contract based on how much you want to invest in that point in the process. Um and what's Yeah, so this is like a a really effective way to kind of like go through, play around with your investment at each of these phases in order to get the exact result that you want.

所以，嗯，我绝对建议你们用一套全面的评估集来测试，尽量确保流程在处理非常重要的大任务时能按预期运行。我们在控制台里给你们展示的观察名单扫描器，就是你们可以开始使用的模板之一。你们可以直接点进去看看。嗯，还有一些模板是直接构建好并打包在 Claude Code 和 Claude API 技能里的。所以，如果你有 Claude Code，而且是在周日晚上之后安装的，那么你应该就能使用观察名单扫描器来运行 Claude API 托管代理，然后启动一个模板，并直接在 Claude Code 里管理代理。我觉得，在 Claude Code 里使用 Claude 托管代理，以及通常使用 Claude API，确实是一种非常有效的方式。And so, um definitely recommend going through like a like a comprehensive eval set to try and make sure that the flows are doing what you want when it's like a very uh you know, big important task. The watch list scanner that we showed you from the console is uh one of these templates that you can start. You can kind of just go, click through. Um there's also some of the templates are built directly and bundled with Claude code and the Claude API skill. So, if you have Claude code um and you installed it starting on Sunday night, uh uh then you should be able to run Claude API managed agents on board with watch list scanner and that can spin up a template um and then allow you to kind of like manage your agents directly from Claude code. I think this is actually like a really effective way to drive Claude managed agents and generally to use the Claude API is from inside of Claude code.

你可以指示 Claude Code，比如说，启动这个资源、启动那个资源，它就会使用另一个名为 Ant CLI 的命令行界面来驱动并与 Claude API 交互。所以，嗯，很多时候我不会用控制台，而是会用 Claude Code，说“启动一个能执行 X 的托管代理”。嗯，所以，呃，今天你在尝试各种功能时，如果不想用控制台，我建议可以试试这种方式。嗯，另外，我们也花了不少时间尝试不同类型的初始系统提示或初始消息，看看哪种最适合流程。我们发现，一开始你越是让 Claude 自由发挥，不给它太多明确限制，它就越能发挥效果。You can direct Claude code to say, you know, spin up this resource, spin up that resource and it will use another command line interface called Ant CLI to drive and and interact with the Claude API. And so, um often times instead of using the console, I'll use Claude code and say, you know, spin up a managed agent that does X. Um so, uh today when you're going through and experimenting, uh this is one of the ways that I would recommend kind of jumping in if you don't want to use the console. Um, and then there's we we experimented quite a bit with like what kind of initial system prompt or, you know, initial message is best suited for flows. And we found that like the the more ambiguous and kind of like free form you let, uh, you are about letting Claude do its own thing in the beginning, the more effective it can be.

所以，你只要告诉 Claude：“嘿，我想让你，嗯，使用一个面向 agent 的单股票代码工作流，然后，呃，你知道的，去执行这个扫描。这就是我大致想要的效果。”然后让 Claude 接手搭建初始流程，之后你再，呃，进一步微调。嗯，那我们来，呃，试试看。你会在屏幕上看到一个二维码。这是用来领取一些 API 额度的，这样你就可以开始用了。如果你还没有 Claude 平台账户，我们本周刚宣布的另一件事是，呃，Max 和团队订阅用户可以获得一些包含在订阅中的 API 额度。所以，嗯，你也可以把你的订阅关联起来，确保自己能拿到这些 API 额度。如果你订阅了 Max，我想应该是，呃，Max 5X 每月能获得 100 美元。So, just tell Claude, "Hey, I want you to, um, use a workflow one ticker for agent and, uh, you know, go out and do this scan. This is what I'm kind of looking for." And let Claude take control over like building out the initial flows and then you can kind of like, uh, fine-tune that afterwards. Um, so let's, uh, let's play around. So, on screen you'll see a QR code. This is for, um, uh, some API credits so you can get up and running. If you don't already have a Claude platform account, another thing we just announced this week is that, uh, with Max and team subscriptions, you, uh, you get some like API credits that are part of your subscription. So, um, you can also like go link your your subs to make sure that you have those API credits. So, if you have Max, I think it's like, uh, Max 5X, you'll get like $100 a month.

嗯，然后 Teams 最多是 500。然后再花 50 美元左右，就可以试试 Claude 托管代理流程。嗯，是的，我觉得我们现在可以先暂停一下。我们还有一些内容想继续讲，但不如先暂停。请大家试试看，然后我们可以开放提问，看看有没有人……Um, and then Teams is up to 500. And then this is like another 50 bucks to go and, uh, experiment with, uh, this Claude managed agents flows. And, uh, yeah, I think at this point we can pause. We have like a bit more content that we want to go through, but what let's pause. Please try it out and then, um, yeah, we can we can open up the floor for questions, uh, if anybody has

问答，第1轮Q&A, round 1

一开始有什么问题吗？好，呃，这是个好问题。问题是，当你在 Claude Code 中运行 {slash} Claude API skill 时，它是在我的机器上运行，还是作为 Claude 托管代理的一部分运行，对吧？嗯，Claude API skill 和 Claude Code 会根据你的配置，在你的机器上或云端运行。这与 Claude 托管代理是完全独立的系统。所以，你的 Claude Code 会根据你的配置在本地或云端运行。然后，当你启动它时，它会从 Claude Code 环境发起 API 调用，以创建代理、创建会话，并在 API 中创建所有这些不同的资源。any questions off the bat. Okay, so, uh, good question. So, the question was, when you're in Claude Code and you run the {slash} Claude API skill in Claude Code, is that running on my machine or is that running as part of Claude managed agents, right? So, um, the Claude API skill and Claude Code are going to run it on your machine or in the cloud depending on how you have Claude Code set up. And that is like a completely separate system from Claude managed agents. So, you have you'll have like your Claude Code is going to be running either locally or in the cloud depending on how you have Claude Code set up. And then, when you kick that off, that's going to make API calls from the Claude Code environment to create the agent, create the session, create all of these different resources in the API.

呃，有没有关于它如何与插件合并的路线图？Uh is there a roadmap for how it merges with plugins?

主持人：所以，目前插件涵盖了很多不同类型的资源，对吧？其中一种就是技能，对吧？嗯，所以你看一下 API 接口，就会注意到里面有一个叫 resources 的字段，另外还有一些其他 API 字段，与插件中出现的技能之类的内容有关。所以，简而言之，插件的各个组件现在就应该可以直接接入 API 接口。至于把它合并进去……什么？哦，没关系。所以，反过来的情况是，你的工作流生成一个标量之类的东西，然后你可以把它拉回 Claude Code 里？还是说你能不能再多讲一点？我明白了。好的，所以问题基本上是，假设你创建了一个动态工作流，在这个例子里是用来研究潜在收购对象的，你能不能把这个工作流作为插件有效地分发出去？Host: So, plugins right now encompass a bunch of different like types of resources, right? One of those is is skills, right? Um and so, when you take a look at the API surface, you'll notice that there's there's a field called resources associated with it, and then there's also like some other API fields that are related to things like skills that show up in plugins. And so, the the short answer is that like the individual components of a plugin should just drop into the API surface already today. As far as like merging it into Sorry? Oh, no worries. So, the other direction being like your workflow generates a scalar something, and you can pull it back into your Claude Code? Or Do you mind just saying a little bit more about that? I see. Okay, so the question is basically given a dynamic workflow that you've created for, in this case, um research on potential acquisitions, can you distribute effectively the workflow uh uh as a plugin?

嗯，答案是目前还不行。至于未来某个时候能否开箱即用地获得完整支持，我也没有确切答案。不过，你可以把工作流运行过程中生成的提示词拿出来，直接放到 Claude Code 之类的工具里，嗯，检查一下。它是一个文本文件，应该会非常接近。对，对。所以，问题是：能不能在 Mac 环境或其他环境中运行一些代理，而不只是运行 Claude 托管代理的托管环境？嗯，我们有一种叫作 custom tools 的抽象机制，基本上就是让模型把控制权交给你，请你执行某个操作。具体做法是，在工作流运行过程中，为你的代理定义一个 custom tool。Um The answer is not today, and I don't have a good answer for if that will be like fully supported out of the box at some point in the future, but you could take the prompt basically that's generated as part of your workflow runs, and just drop that into like Claude Code or wherever, um check it in, it's a text file, it'll uh probably be pretty pretty close. Yeah, yeah. So, the question is, what about running like some agents in like a Mac environment or other environments that aren't just like presumably the hosted surface where uh Claude managed agents are running? Um we have this abstraction called custom tools that's basically like a way for the model to kick out to you to ask you to take some action. So, the way that this would work is you would define a custom tool uh for your agent as part of the workflow run.

然后，无论什么时候你想在本地的 Mac OS 机器上，或者互联网上其他任意一台电脑上运行某些东西，你基本上只需要接收那个自定义工具调用，在那台机器上执行你想做的操作，再把结果返回给模型。这样回答了你的问题吗？And then anytime you want to run something like on, let's say, a local Mac OS machine or like some, you know, arbitrary other computer on the internet or something, you would basically just like take that custom tool call, do whatever you want to do on that machine, and then return the result back to the model. Did that answer your question?

嘉宾：好，太棒了。Guest: Okay, sweet.

主持人：是的，完全同意。所以问题在于，我们迟早都会关注 Token 消耗，而且需要随着时间推移优化我们的工作流，避免消耗大量 Token。为此有很多不同的方法。这其实是一个通用问题：根据你内部关注的标准，在某个提示词上进行爬山式优化，无论标准是 Token 消耗、能力等。嗯，我不记得我们有没有发布过爬山优化技能。Host: Yeah, totally. So, the question is we all care about token spend at some point and we need to be able to optimize our flows over time to not basically spend tons of tokens. So, there are a bunch of different ways to do this. This is kind of a generalizable problem that's like hill climbing on some prompt based on whatever criteria it is that you internally care about, whether it's token, whether it's capability, etc. And so, um there is I forget if we published the hill climb skill

嘉宾：是的。Guest: Yeah.

主持人：在 Cloud Code 中。所以，Cloud Code 里有一个爬山优化技能，可能至少能帮你优化提示词本身。至于像流程操作这类内容的调优，嗯，这么回答有点敷衍，但实际上，你会拥有 Cloud 在流程运行过程中所做一切操作的完整记录。这样你就可以把这些记录提取出来交给 Cloud，让 Cloud 找出流程可能做得太多或不够的地方，它基本上就能自行优化。嗯，这样一来，你就可以让 Cloud 按照你想要的任何标准进行优化。不过我想说的是，我们是在周五推出这个功能的，我猜这种原生集成会成为很多人优先关注的事项。Host: in Cloud Code. So, so there's a hill climb skill within Cloud Code that can probably help you hill climb at least the prompt itself. As far as the tuning of like the the flow operations, um this is kind of a cop-out answer, but you effect you'll have the full transcripts of everything that Cloud has done as part of the the flow runs. And so, you can just pull those transcripts, give them to Cloud, ask Cloud to identify any like places where the flow is maybe doing too much or not doing enough, and it's able to essentially optimize itself. Um and that way you can ask Cloud to optimize based on whatever criteria you you you want. But, I will say like we shipped this on Friday and I suspect that this type of like native integration is something that is going to be top of mind for a lot of folks.

嘉宾：对，我还想补充一点，还有另一款叫 Dreams and Dreaming 的产品。你可以在 Cloud 托管代理中提供一组会话，让它们经历这个“梦境”过程，从而逐渐提炼并改进与这些会话相关的记忆库。你可以关联一个记忆库，运行你的流程，然后在运行了 10 次左右之后，让这些会话进入梦境流程，让这些梦境逐渐提炼并改进不同会话之间的记忆。所以我不知道你对 dreams 还有没有更多想法，或者……Guest: Yeah, one thing I would add to that, too, is there's another product called Dreams and Dreaming where you can within Cloud managed agents give a set of sessions to go through this dreaming process where it can kind of like crystallize and like basically like improve the memory store that is related to those sessions. So you can attach a memory store, run your flows, and then after you've done it, you know, 10 times or whatever, you can have those sessions run through dreams and have those dreams kind of like crystallize and improve the memory from from like session to session. So I don't know if you have uh more dreams thoughts or

主持人：想法，但是Host: ideas, but

嘉宾：对，我觉得我基本上描述的就是手动打造自己的 Dreaming。不过我忘了，我们有自己的产品可以帮你做这件事。Guest: Yeah, I think I basically described hand rolling your own dreaming. But I forgot we have our own product that does this for you.

主持人：是的。没错。所以你可以使用产品自带的 dreaming 功能，也可以用 flows 来实现 dreaming。就是这样。Host: Yeah. Right. So you can you you can either use the product dreaming or you can use flows to implement dreaming. So

嘉宾：是的，完全可以。所以，如果你只是想看一下，抱歉，退一步说，你能不能在流程运行时直接在控制台中查看多智能体拓扑？可以，你可以在控制台里查看，我们马上就给大家机会试试看。嗯，不过如果你也想围绕它构建一个自定义 UI，完全没问题，因为这些流程中的每一个都会启动子智能体，而它们都有自己的会话线程。这就是它运行时所处的上下文，而且每个线程的所有信息都可以通过 API 接口访问。所以，你可以围绕它构建各种有意思的 UI，满足你的任何需求。是的，我看 Jay 可能正要……Guest: Yeah, totally. So you can you can visualize it directly in the console if you just want like sorry, stepping back. The question is can you can you visualize the the multi-agent topology as the flow is running? Within the console you you can and we'll we'll give you guys a chance to check it out in just a second. Um but if you're if you want to build like a custom UI around this thing as well, you totally can because each of these flows spins up sub-agents that have their own session threads. That's like the context in which it's operating and all of that information on a per thread basis is accessible via API surfaces. So you can spin up arbitrarily interesting UIs around it for for whatever it is that you want. Yeah, I see Jay's probably about to

主持人：是的，你可以点赞。Host: Yes, you can like

嘉宾：是的。Guest: Yeah.

主持人：看看所有对话线程。你可以深入查看各个子代理，看看它们在做什么。如果你是通过编程方式访问这个程序，也可以查看到一大批非常全面的事件，它们会在会话流式传输时发出。这样你就能看到每一次工具调用及其结果，还能看到它在子代理和主代理，也就是那个首席代理之间交接时发生的情况，等等。所以，嗯，是的，就目前的流程而言，仪表板中的 UI 肯定是我们会继续改进和迭代的部分。不过，嗯，是的，你完全可以深入查看这里的大量细节。嗯，你可以看到，比如说，这就是“收到线程消息”事件。这样你就能知道，首席代理到底向子代理传递了什么？Host: Look at all the threads. You can drill into individual sub-agents. You can see what they were doing. You can also look at if you're you're accessing this programmatically, there is a huge like really comprehensive set of events that are emitted like as the session is streaming and so you'll see every single like tool call and result and like when it's handing off between from from the sub-agent back to the main uh, know, the lead agent, etc. So, like, um, yeah, within the flow right now, the UI in the dashboard is definitely something that we'll continue to improve and iterate on. Um, but, yeah, you can you can absolutely dig in and see like lots and lots of detail here. Um, so, you can see like, okay, yeah, this is the thread message received event. And so, you can tell like, okay, what did the lead agent actually pass to the sub agent?

你可以在这里查看这个负载，从而深入了解整个图中每一次状态转换究竟发生了什么。And you can look at that payload here to deeply understand kind of like, what is actually happening for like every transition in this entire graph.

嘉宾：我还想说，这也是基于公共 API 构建的，就像仪表盘本身一样。所以，你在这里看到的任何东西，完全可以自己动手实现。问题是，它能不能意识到自己的预算？目前，模型在运行时并不知道自己的预算。预算主要是用来设置护栏，确保它不会失控，耗费过多 token。我们发现，至少在目前最新的模型中，如果你告诉它预算是多少，Claude 可能会有点焦虑，而我们不希望这种情况发生。不过我非常确信，随着时间推移，这方面会有所改善。Guest: And I'll also say this is built on the public API, like the dashboard itself. So, anything that you see here, you could totally hand roll yourself. The question is, is it self-aware of its own budget? So, right now, the model does not know its budget like as it's as it's running. The budget is primarily like guardrails to make sure that it doesn't go off and uh, run away token spend. Um, we found that at least in today's latest models, um, if you tell it the budget, um, Claude can get a little bit anxious and we don't uh, we we don't we don't want that to happen. Um, but I would highly suspect that over time that that will improve.

主持人：所以，流程的运作方式是：如果你用到 5 美元，就会收到一个事件，基本上就是提示预算已用完。然后，如果你想看看发生了什么，并且可能增加预算，可以在会话运行期间这样做。如果你想再加一些钱，也可以，流程会从上次停下的地方继续。所以这里有一个非常不错的暂停机制：如果你增加预算，已经完成的工作不会被丢弃。嗯，不过这完全由你自己决定。是的。那么，问题是：与 Claude Tag 集成的计划是什么？嗯，Claude Tag 本质上是一个 Slack 机器人，可以在 Slack 界面中把你的所有信息连接起来。所以，它属于一个略有不同的产品界面，而这是一个 API 界面；如果你想直接构建与 Claude 的集成，就可以使用类似这样的东西。Host: So, the way that it works with flows is if you hit $5, you get an event basically being like, budget reached. And then if the if you want to like take a look at what happened and potentially up the budget, you can as the session is running. And if you want to add more money, then you can and the flow will pick off like where it left off. So, there's this really nice pausing component where any work that you've already accomplished is not thrown away if you up the budget. Um, but that's totally up to you based on your own Yeah. So, the question is, what is the plan for integrating with Claude Tag? Um, so, Claude Tag is essentially like a Slack bot that connects all of your information, uh, uh, together within the Slack surface. And so, it's a slightly orthogonal product surface, whereas this is an API surface where if you want to like build an integration with Claude directly, you would use something like this.

嗯，至少目前我觉得应该不会有什么直接关联……其他的……你知道吗？对，对。如果你想做个类似“给自己打标签”的东西，可以用 flows。是的，如果你在用……[嗤笑] 没错，没错。所以，嗯，对。对。Um, I doubt at least for now that there would be any direct connection other You know what? Yeah, yeah. If you wanted to like build something like tag yourself, you could use flows. Yes, if you're using [snorts] Exactly, exactly. So like, yeah. Yeah.

嘉宾：是的。我还想说的是，我们很希望进一步改善的一点，就是让所有这些产品界面更好地协同工作。因此，我想说，接下来几个月左右，你们会看到这些衔接上的缝隙逐渐消失。你们可能已经注意到，我们把 co-work 和 chat 的一些功能整合到了一起。现在，你们可以在很多不同的界面中使用 Cloud Code。随着时间推移，我们会逐步缩小这方面的差距。还有，Cloud Tag 确实是使用这些工具的一种非常有效的方式。我们使用它的频率高得出人意料。对我们来说，Cloud Tag 是许多实现工作中日常使用的核心工具。所以……Guest: Yeah. I I would say the other thing too is that like um this is this is something like we want to improve on a lot is like making all of these product surfaces work better together. And so I would say expect, you know, over the next you know, several months or whatever to continue to see these seams start to like disappear. You may have noticed that like, you know, co-work and chat kind of like we merged some of those. You can see now you can use Cloud Code from lots and lots of different surfaces. So over time we'll kind of like uh close the gap there. And yeah, um Cloud Tag is definitely like a really effective way to to use a lot of these tools. And in like we use that a surprising amount. Cloud Tag is like a huge daily driver for us for for a lot of implementations. So

主持人：所以，问题是，智能体之间有没有办法相互通信，比如流程中的子智能体？嗯，你没法通过 API 直接指定子智能体 A 给子智能体 B 发消息，并发送负载 X。不过，所有子智能体都共享一个文件系统。因此，如果工作流中需要它们相互通信，它们实际上可以直接利用文件系统来回传递消息。嗯，除了这些已发送和已接收的智能体消息（你可以借此查看消息的来往）之外，并没有直接的抽象机制，也没有直接的方式可以强制某个子智能体向另一个子智能体发送消息。是的，所以问题是，流程有没有办法实质上修改自身，并根据可能发现的问题，通过爬山法优化自身的提示词？Host: So the the question is is there a way for the agents to communicate with each other um like the sub-agents within the flow? Um there's not like a direct like uh uh way for you to like via the API say sub-agent A like message sub-agent B and like send payload X. Um but the the sub-agents all share a file system. And so if there is a need uh within your workflow for them to communicate with each other, they can effectively just use the file system as a way to like send messages back and forth. Um but there's not like a direct abstraction that uh other than these agent message sent and received where you can like see the message sends back and forth. There's not a direct way for you to like force one of the sub-agents to message another one. Yes, so the question is is there a way for the flows to essentially modify themselves and hill climb their own prompts based on issues that they might find.

嗯，做这件事的最佳方式，可能类似于我们刚才谈到的 hill climb scale，也可能会用到 dreaming 产品界面，这样 agent 就能看到自己过去做了什么，并从错误中吸取教训。其实并没有什么……嗯，等一下，我直接快速演示一下。我们有一个 deployment 的概念，基本上，deployments 就是一种按计划运行这些会话的方式。你没办法让它按计划自动自我改进，但我完全可以想象这样一种场景：你可以用这些组件来构建这样的功能，那应该会很酷。Um so the best way to do this is probably similar to like the hill climb scale that we were talking about just a second ago, as well as potentially the the dreaming product surface, so that the the agent can see like what it did in the past and learn from its mistakes. There's not like such a thing as um so actually here I'll I'll just show really quickly. We we have this um concept of deployment, and basically deployments are um a way to run these sessions on a schedule. And you there's not a way for you to like on a schedule like self-improve the thing, but I could totally imagine a world where you like you could build that using these components, and that'd be pretty cool.

嘉宾：另外，像我们一直提到的 hill climb 技能，它也是 Claude API skill 的另一个子命令。嗯，如果你在 Claude Code 里，可以输入 `/Claude API hill climb`，然后告诉它你想通过迭代改进什么。这有点像是把 Andrej Karpathy 的 auto research 拿来，融入一个大家都能用的 skill，让每个人都能迭代改进自己的提示词。比如你先从一个现成的提示词开始，也就是那个用来扫描关注列表的提示词，然后你可以把这个提示词放到 Claude Code 里，说：“Claude API hill climb 这个提示词。”接着它就会和你一起，通过迭代弄清楚我们要优化什么，然后不断打磨，直到给你做出一个很棒的提示词，让你用它来满足自己的需求。Guest: Also like for the the hill climb scale that we keep mentioning, this is another sub-command of the Claude API skill. Um so if you're in Claude code, you can do like {slash} Claude API hill climb, and then tell it what thing you want to like iteratively improve on. This is kind of like a uh taking um Andrej Karpathy's auto research and sort of baking it into a skill that everybody can use to kind of like iteratively improve on their own prompts. And so if you start with a prompt that you know, the one off the shelf to do the watch list scan, then you can uh take that prompting and go into Claude code and say, you know, Claude API hill climb this prompt, and then it will work with you to iteratively like figure out, okay, what are we optimizing for, and then it'll just kind of like grind until it gets like a really nice prompt for you to then like use that uh to to yeah, meet your needs.

有些……所以，具体要看 hill climb 过程中发生了什么，有时候它会给你……这真的完全取决于你要解决的具体项目或问题。所以，呃，Haiku 几周前公布的时候——或者说，事情发生得太快了，我觉得可能是上周吧，我也不确定。呃，Haiku 公布时，我做了一个可以和孩子们玩比手画脚的工具。它只有一个网络摄像头，会给我们一张卡片，我们试着把卡片上的内容表演出来，然后 Haiku 会猜我们在做什么。我用了这个 hill climb 命令，Claude 为我生成了一个 artifact，让我可以录下自己做这些滑稽动作的过程，比如划船、打网球之类的，这样它就能不断改进和迭代提示词，比如说：“哦，我们需要这么多帧每秒，还得更新提示词，让它做到这个。”Some So depending on uh what happens during the hill climb, sometimes it will give you it really depends on exactly the project or like the problem you're trying to solve. So I uh I when Haiku was announced a couple weeks ago, or everything happened so fast, I think it might have been last week, I don't know. Uh when Haiku was announced, I built this tool for playing charades with my kids. So it just has like a webcam, and it'll give us a card, we try to act it out, and then Haiku will guess like you know what we're doing. And so I use this the hill climb um command and Claude generated an artifact for me that let me record sessions of myself doing like these hilarious things rowing a boat and like playing tennis and all this so that it could like improve and iterate on the prompt and say oh we need this many frames per second and we need to like update the prompt to do this.

因此，具体取决于问题的类型，当你运行 hill climb 时，Claude 可能会提供一个人工界面，让你可以在上面反复迭代；你也可以让 Claude 帮你完成这件事。所以它其实相当强大。And so depending on what the problem is like when you run hill climb Claude may or may not give you an a human interface to kind of like iterate on that and you can also like request Claude to do that for you. So it's actually like quite powerful.

主持人：是的，这个问题是关于纳维-斯托克斯方程的，以及这些突然间接连发生的科学发现，还有像这样的东西是否正是我们会用来……来做到这一点的。我觉得，也许在我们的演示中，我们的股票行情代码还不够有野心，因为你确实说到点子上了，对吧？推动大量科学进步的方式，基本上就是缩短完成这类工作的时间。呃，flows 基本上是一种在难题上投入测试时计算资源、让模型更快获得更强能力的方式。所以，呃，我不便谈具体细节，比如我们内部是如何搭建运行这类研究工作负载的框架的。不过我们认为，尤其是通过 API 这一接口开放其能力，是我们迈出的第一步，这样一来，普通大众也能广泛地开展这类发现，或取得科学进展。Host: Yeah so the question is about Navier-Stokes and like these scientific discoveries that are all of a sudden happening kind of all at once and if something like this is like what we would use to to to to do to do that. I think maybe in our our demos our our stock stock ticker is not ambitious enough because you pretty you pretty much hit the nail on the head right that like the way that you pull forward substantial amounts of scientific progress is basically shorting the shortening the timeline that it takes to do this kind of work. Um and flows are basically a way excuse me to throw a test time compute at hard problems and get more capability faster out of the models. And so um I can't speak to like specifics of like how internally we like we what our harnessing looks looks like for running these types of research workloads but like we think especially as an API surface that unlocking the power of this is like the first step for us making these types of discoveries or um scientific progress like broadly doable by the general public.

所以，嗯，是的，我对此相当兴奋。So um yeah I'm pretty jazzed about that.

嘉宾：对，我还想补充一点。比如在我们之前为 Claude 管理型智能体搭建的多智能体系统中，如果你有一个协调器和一组智能体，那么能启动的子智能体数量是有限制的。而现在使用 flows 的话，我认为可以有 1,000 个智能体。另一个有意思的地方是，你的主智能体可以同时启动多个 flow，也可以等一个 flow 完成后再启动另一个。所以，如果你有一个特别庞大的项目想交给一组智能体去做，就可以这么做。其实我原本真希望它现在已经完成了，可惜还没有。不过我周五启动了一个由 1,000 个智能体组成的 flow，让它们构建一个操作系统给你们看。它已经运行了大约 85 个小时。Guest: Yeah one other thing that I'll add to that too is that like in our previous multi-agent setup for Claude managed agents if you where you have like a coordinator and then a roster of agents we had some limits around like how many sub agents you can spin up. With the flow with flows right now, I think it's 1,000 agents. And so like the other the other like interesting piece of this is that your lead agent could spin up multiple flows at a time or like after one flow finishes, start another flow. And so you might have like a really massive project that you want to like give to give to a set of agents. I actually like was really hoping it would be done by now. It is not. But I I on Friday kicked off a flow with 1,000 agents to build an operating system to show to you. And it has already been working for like 85 hours.

所以它还没完成，目前已经跑了三四个流程，而且在这个更大的项目中，它一直在和大量智能体协作。所以这些任务你完全可以交给它做。显然，因为这些任务要花的时间稍微长一些，这个项目我算是周五刚开始做，然后就放着不管了，想着也许到周一早上九点就能准备好。不过，这确实是那种你可以交给它做的项目，比如云管理智能体流程。对，这个留到之后再说吧。不过，它其实非常轻量。我当时就说：“嘿，肯·汤普森一周就做出了 Unix。你能不能试着做一个兼容 Unix、带 Python 解释器的操作系统？用流程来做，放手大胆尝试，最多可以用 1,000 个智能体。”And so like it's not done yet and it's like three or four flows in and has been working with like tons and tons of agents on this like bigger project. And so these are things you can absolutely throw at it. And obviously because they take a little bit longer, this is something that you I kind of like just started on Friday and then walked away and was hoping that maybe by 9:00 a.m. on Monday it would be ready, but definitely like the type of project that you could um you could throw at yeah, cloud management agent flows. Yeah. Let's save that for an after, but yeah, it was like it was actually like very lightweight. I was like, "Hey, Ken Thompson made Unix in a week. Can you try and make an operating system that's Unix compatible with a Python interpreter? Use flows, you know, feel free to be brave and use up to 1,000 agents."

基本上就是这样。然后就让它运行起来，我还给了它一个 GitHub 仓库，这样它就能在那个仓库里工作。我上次查看时，那个 GitHub 仓库里已经有大约 1,000 次提交了。所以，是的，这些智能体还在继续埋头干活。嗯。And that was basically it. And then like let it run and I also gave it a GitHub repo so that it could work in that GitHub repo. The last time I checked there was like 1,000 commits in the GitHub repo. So it's yeah, the agents are still grinding on it. Yeah.

主持人：呃，问题是，我们有没有注意到，随着我们以同样的方式增加更多子代理，收益会逐渐递减？就像一个组织随着规模扩大，每增加一名新员工，协调成本之类的开销就会随时间增加。这确实是个很好的问题，但我没法给你一个确切的数字或答案。嗯，我觉得整个研究领域还很新，所以如果将来这类具体的数值分配——或者说，基本上是每个子代理的能力曲线，或者随着我们增加一个额外代理，增量的斜率——变得更容易计算，我一点也不会惊讶。嗯，但我现在没有一个可靠的数字。嗯，是个好问题。Host: Uh the question is if we've noticed diminishing returns from like spinning up more sub-agents in the same way that like an organization like on an incremental basis for every new employee you add at a certain size, there's like coordination costs and such that that increase over time. That's actually a really good question that I don't have a perfect number or answer for you on. Um I think that like this whole research area is pretty new and I would be very unsurprised if like this these types of exact like uh numerical assignments to like or basically like the it's almost like the capability curve per subagent or like the incremental you know, the slope of the line as you're adding a new an extra agent um is more calculable in the future. Um but I I don't have a good number right now. Um yeah, that's a good question.

嘉宾：是的，我想说的一点是，在使用流程时，你能以有组织的方式而不是杂乱无章地让它们处理问题。比如说，把同样的 100 个智能体投入到一个问题中，使用流程会做得更好，因为这些上下文之间有一定的组织和隔离，并且有门控机制和不同的阶段。所以。Guest: Yeah, one thing I will say is like with flows, you get the benefit of like throwing them at a problem in an organized way versus an unorganized way. So like if you take the same 100 agents and throw them at the problem like it's going to do better with flows because there's some organization and isolation between those contexts with gating and these different phases. So.

主持人：那么，问题是有没有办法防止无限循环或错误层层传递？答案是有，但只能说是一定程度上可以。Host: So the question is is there a way to prevent infinite loops or cascading errors? And the answer is yes, sort of.

嘉宾：嗯，有一些机制可以确保不会出现失控的会话。所以我会为此设置一个预算，对吧？具体预算取决于你的预算是多少。不过除此之外，Claude 其实很擅长发现行为异常的子代理，并据此对它们进行管理。嗯，至少在我们自己的评估中，我们发现 Claude 很擅长发现这类错误，并自动将它们剔除。还有一点，我们刚才聊到了“做梦”、爬山算法之类的东西，以及从过去的运行中学习。我们认为，如果你想非常有针对性地优化工作流中的某些环节，或优化 Claude 正在尝试完成的任务，这会是一个非常非常好的方法。Guest: Um the there's mechanisms to make sure that like you don't end up with runaway sessions. So for that I would throw on a budget, right? Based on what whatever it is that you uh your budget might be. But then otherwise Claude is actually pretty good at detecting subagents that are misbehaving essentially and managing them accordingly. Um and so we found that at least in our own evaluations like Claude is Claude is pretty good at like detecting these types of errors and and cutting them out um uh automatically. The other thing is we were talking about like dreaming and hill climbing and stuff and like learning from past runs and we think that that's a really powerful way to if you like very specifically want to optimize parts of your flow or parts of what Claude is trying to accomplish, um that's like a really really nice way to do so.

让我复述一下你的问题，看看我理解得对不对。嗯，基本上，你是想知道，能不能根据某些标准，比如某个较小的集合，也许像镜头切换这样的信号，只执行流程中的某些部分？也就是说，你不想因为实际上什么都没发生而浪费 token。对吧？目前这个平台上其实没有类似的功能，除了在单个流程里告诉 Claude 有条件地执行某些操作。说实话，如果是我，我可能会在你的应用层里，在流程之上再叠加一层东西来检测这种情况。嗯，这样你就可以大致控制你要做的工作量。Let me state your question back to you and tell me if it's if it's correct. Um so basically you're you're trying to understand if there's a way to like based on some criteria like a smaller set may maybe be a signal like a shot change, you should only execute potentially like some parts of a flow or some some parts of a like like basically you don't want to burn tokens because like nothing happened. Right. There's not really anything like that on platform today other than just like telling Claude to conditionally do stuff with a single flow. Like if I had to be totally honest with you, I would probably like layer something else on top of flows yourself within your application layer to make that detection. Um so you could like size basically the uh the the the work that you're trying to do.

我觉得对于那种单个智能体无论如何都能在 30 秒内完成的事情，工作流可能不太合适。嗯，它更适合那些有雄心、复杂的任务。所以，是的。没错。问题是，我能不能简单谈谈智能体之间的上下文护栏，以及实际上每个智能体所拥有的世界观。嗯，每个智能体都会在自己的会话线程中启动，这些线程在数据库中也是完全物理隔离的，也就是各自拥有独立的上下文窗口。因此，默认情况下，这些上下文窗口不会通过文件系统或其他方式相互泄漏。除此之外，每个智能体都有自己的系统提示词。你可以使用自己提供的系统提示词，也可以让 Claude 生成系统提示词；这都是可行的，而且是确保各个角色完全独立的好方法。I don't think that flows would be a good fit for something that's like, you know, single agent can accomplish in 30 seconds anyway. Um it's more for like these ambitious, complex tasks. So, yeah. Yeah, for sure. So, the question is uh if I can talk a little bit about the context guardrails between the agents and effectively like the world view that each of the agents have. Um so each of the agents is spawned into its own session thread that's like totally like physically in the database like separate context windows. And so there's there's no leakage of those context windows via like file systems or anything like that um by default. Um beyond that, each of the agents has their own system prompts. So, whether you want to bring your own system prompts or just have Claude spin up the system prompts, um you can do so and that is like a really good way to enforce the totally separate personas.

嗯，除此之外，线程消息的发送和接收是了解智能体间通信情况的一种好方法。如果你想确保中层管理智能体没有对它的下属做什么你不希望它做的事，就可以通过这种方式查看。不过一般来说，这就是它的运作方式。我的回答解决你的问题了吗？ 我明白了。这个问题是关于我提到的共享文件系统，它是一种让子智能体彼此交互的方法；你想知道有没有办法把它们在物理上隔离开。如今要做到这一点，基本上只能通过提示词来实现。比如，如果你希望智能体只关注一组非常具体的目录路径，或者只在某个目录子集中工作，只要在提示词里说明就行了。Um on top of that, um the I mean the thread message sends and thread message receives are a good way to see the inter inter-agent communication if you want to make sure that like, you know, middle management agent isn't like doing something with uh its underlings that that you don't want it to do. Um but generally speaking, those are like that's how it works. Did that answer your question? I see. So, the question is about the shared file system that I alluded to as like a methodology for sub-agents interacting with each other and if there's a way for for to like physically separate those out. Um the way to do that today would basically just be prompting um, and telling like if you're if you want your agents to only focus on like a very specific set uh, like a subset of directory paths or something for where it does its work, um, you would just prompt that.

目录路径没有类似权限控制层的东西，不过说实话，这看起来还挺有用的。也许我们可以把这个想法带回去，再拿出个更好的方案。所以，接下来要问的是：能不能用类似 hooks 的东西来控制对文件系统不同部分的访问？在托管代理中，这套机制的运作方式和 hooks 不太一样，不过你其实已经在一定程度上回答了我的问题：一种实现方式是，我们有一个叫作工具权限的抽象。基本上，每当代理想要读取文件时，根据你提供的配置，它可能需要向你——或者说你的系统——请求许可。在这种情况下，如果你想锁定 {slash}mount{slash}fubar，只需检查 Claude 发出的读取该文件的工具请求，确认实际运行这项读取请求的代理，然后在你不希望它获得访问权限时拒绝请求即可。There's no like permissioning layer for the directory paths, um, but honestly like that seems pretty useful. Um, maybe we'll uh, maybe we'll take that back and come back come back with something better. So, so the the the follow-up was what about using something like hooks to uh, control access to different parts of the file system? Um, that's the the way that this would work in managed agents is not quite like hooks, but you're actually kind of answering the question a bit for me because um, one way that you could do this is we have an abstraction called tool permissions that basically like anytime an agent wants to read a file, it depending on the configuration that you provide, might need to ask you for permission or you being like your system for for permission. And in this case, if you wanted to like lock down, you know, {slash}mount{slash}fubar, um, then you could just read the tool basically the request that Claude is making to read that file, check the agent that's actually like running that uh, read request and just deny it if if you don't want the agent to have access.

哇，谢谢你。很感谢。天哪，你这是给我铺好路了。嗯，我们接下来要……所以，这个问题是关于凭证管理的。嗯，这里的重点是：“天哪，一千个智能体，这也太疯狂了吧。这么放任它们在互联网上运行，感觉不太安全。”嗯，这场演讲的后半部分基本上都会用来讨论智能体安全。问题是，能不能把人工反馈纳入工作流。如今实现这一点的方式是使用一种叫作自定义工具的东西。基本上，就是给 Claude 一个工具，比如“请求人工反馈”，然后 Claude 需要时就会向你请求人工反馈，你可以通过调用这个工具提供任何你想给出的回应。Wow, thank you. Appreciate that. Oh man, you're you're teeing me up. Um, we're going to So, the question is about uh, credential management. Um, so like the the the punchline here, right, is like, "Oh my gosh, like a thousand agents, that's crazy. Like that doesn't seem like safe to just like let let run wild on the internet." Um, and we're going to spend like basically the entire second half of this presentation talking about agentic safety. The question is if there's a way to allow human feedback as part of a flow. The way that you would implement this today is using something called custom tools. Basically like give Claude a tool that's like request human feedback and then Claude would request that human feedback from you whenever it needs it and you could provide whatever response you wanted and from that tool call.

那么，问题是，嗯，以构建操作系统为例，呃，如果它挂了什么的怎么办？还有，怎么查看中间状态？它运行的过程中，你怎么跟它交互？你想接着回答这个吗，因为……So, the question is um, in the example of building an operating system, uh, what if like what if the thing dies or something and like like how do you see the intermediate states? How do you interact with it as it's going? Do you want to take that since

主持人：是的，当然。我在提示词里还让它安排一支文档编写团队，我当时说用 Sonnet 5.5。我很喜欢它生成的文档。每个工作流结束时，文档编写团队都会回过头来，为该阶段实现的内容编写文档。这样我就可以直接去 GitHub 仓库，随时查看文档。这是一种做法。另一种做法——你刚才问了能不能暂停或停止它。还有一件事我们之后会聊到，就是中断会话：你可以打断流程，说“等等，你方向错了，请现在停下来。”你也可以提示 Claude 生成报告，或者在进行过程中更新某份报告。通常它会给你一些 Markdown 文件，你可以打开查看。Host: Yeah, sure. I so um part of the prompt I asked it to have like a a team of docs writers and I was like use Sonnet 5.5. I love the like the documentation that comes out of that and uh at the end of every single flow a team of docs writers goes back to write documentation about what that phase implemented. And so I can just go to the GitHub repo and like look at the documentation as it's going. That's one one way to do it. Another way uh so you kind of asked about like is there a way to like pause it or stop it? Um and so there is uh another thing that we'll talk about later is um interrupting a session so you can interrupt the flow and say like actually like you're going the wrong direction. Please stop right here. Um you can also prompt Claude to give you reports or like to update a certain report as you go or update it you know like a typically it'll like um give you these marked out files that you can open.

嘉宾：是的，产品界面有一点挺酷的，就是，不管你用的是哪种方式，不管你有没有使用 flows，如果你让 Claude 把输出写入它的 outputs 目录，你就会得到一组可下载的文件，这些文件会被持久保存。我们还有另一个 API 界面，叫 V1 files。或者你可能会像 CJ 一直在做的那样，把提交写入 GitHub。所以，这些运行过程中会产生很多输出，你可以自己检查。没错，所以问题是：如果你在解决某个雄心勃勃、复杂棘手的问题时，进行到一半，发现了一些外部信息之类的东西，可能会改变整个运行的方向，那你是想就这么白白消耗两天的 token，然后从头开始吗？Guest: Yeah, and one thing that's pretty cool about the um the the product surface is that you like no matter what type whether you're using flows or not um if if you have Claude write to the out its outputs directory you have like a set of downloadable files that are like totally uh durable with that another API surface we have called V1 files. And so or or maybe you're like writing commits to GitHub like um CJ's has been and so there's just like a lot of like outputs um as part of these runs that uh you can inspect yourself. Yeah, so the question is like halfway through some crazy ambitious problem you find some information like externally or something that can potentially change the trajectory of the the overall run. Uh do you just want to burn two days of tokens and like start from scratch?

嗯，所以目前的工作方式是，你会中断会话，并提供更多信息，比如说，“引理 X”对你可能很有用，Claude。看看这个。嗯，而 Claude，也就是你正在交互的主要代理，掌握着整个流程当前进展的完整状态，可以检查自己基本上进行到哪里了，从而启动一个新的流程，并将这些信息以及之前的历史记录考虑在内。嗯，目前不支持的是，你不能拿第一个流程，也就是第一个计划，在中途插入一个步骤，然后重新运行后续步骤，或做类似的事情。嗯，不过，基本上这就是引入更多信息的方式。Um so the way this would work today is you would interrupt the session and like provide that more information, you know, lemma X is actually probably probably useful for you Claude. Take a look at that. Um and Claude like the the primary agent that you're interacting with has this like full state of where the flow is in its process and it can inspect where where it basically left off in order to uh kick off essentially a new flow that takes into account that information as well as the past history. Um what's not supported today is like you can't like take the first flow, like the first plan, and like inject a single step like halfway through um and like rerun later steps or anything like that. Um but yeah, that's like how you would ingest more information.

主持人：呃，这个问题大概是说，作为一名游戏开发者，假设你想通过类似 flows 这样的东西加入游戏内遥测。嗯，我想确认一下……如果我没有回答到你的问题，请告诉我，因为我可能说偏了。嗯，我想到这里的遥测时，指的是像智能体运行时正在发生什么的信息，对吧？所以你可以把一个智能体放进你想要的任何产品体验中，不管是游戏、网站，还是其他什么。嗯，但遥测这一块更多关注的是现在正在发生什么。我需要根据当前会话的情况采取行动吗？我说的方向对吗？好，太好了。嗯，作为我们 API 接口的一部分，我们提供了一个功能非常丰富、持久化的事件流，你可以在所有事件实时发生时将它们串流出来，也可以通过一个静态 API 端点列出这些事件，然后我们……嗯，我在想怎么说。Host: Uh so the question is like as a game developer, let's say you want to put in like in-game telemetry um via something like flows. Um I I I want to make sure that I I'm Tell me if I I don't answer your question because I might I might be going in the wrong direction. Um so when I think of telemetry in this case, I think of like information about what's happening as the agent's operating, right? So you could you could drop an agent into whatever product experience you want, whether it's a game, whether it's you know, your website, whatever. Um but the the telemetry aspect is more like what's happening right now. Do I need to take actions based on like what the the the session is doing? Am I going in the right direction here? Okay, sweet. Um so we have as part of our API surface, we have this extremely rich, durable event stream where you can stream in all the events as they're happening in real time or you can like list them via a static API um endpoint and then we um Yeah, I'm trying to think.

我不知道我们是否已经……I don't know if we've

主持人：它是多模态的吗？Host: Is it multi-modal?

嘉宾：所以，比如说，如果你想在 Claude 托管代理里放一张游戏截图进去，然后采取某种操作，我觉得以今天的情况来看，用户体验会相当糟糕，因为这要花太长时间，具体还得看你想在游戏里做什么。不过我得说，Claude 托管代理确实支持图像输入，而且 Claude 检查图像的能力真的很强，或者说正在变得越来越强。所以，完全可以想象这样一种场景：你直接把截图丢进去，Claude 就能根据你想做的事情采取某种操作。现在还做不到实时响应，不过，是的。哦，对。对，对，完全同意。其实这点说得特别好，比如遥测数据，像是调试崩溃之类的。Guest: So like if you want to throw in like basically in Claude managed agents, if you want to take like a game screenshot and like throw it in and like take some action, um I think today that would be a pretty bad user experience because it would just take too long depending on what it is you're trying to build in your game. But I will say that Claude managed agents does support image inputs and Claude is like really good or getting really really good at inspecting images. And so you could there's totally a world where you like just drop in the screenshot and like Claude can uh take some action uh depending on whatever it is that you want to do. It's not going to feel like real time right now, but yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, that's actually a a great point, which is like maybe telemetry like debugging a crash or something.

你可以截取游戏中正在发生的画面，然后把它放进一个托管代理里。这完全可行。所以，问题是怎么分享这些东西，对吧？比如说，你想分享这些资源。也许你是一个组织，拥有一组模板化代理，对吧？它们对你们很有用，你也希望确保不只是你一个人能访问它们。如今，具体做法是：首先，我们有一个 Terraform provider，你可以用 Terraform 来创建代理。此外，我们还在控制台中提供了不少导出功能，可以导出代理并将它们放到其他地方，但目前还没有那种一键分享按钮，让你能把代理分享给其他人。基本上，我们只是尽量降低门槛，让你可以获取代理的主体，或者你知道的，任何 API 资源。You like take a screenshot of what's happening in the game and like throw it into an managed agent. Totally totally feasible. So, the question is about sharing these things, right? Like you want to share these resources. Maybe you're like an organization that like you have like a set of templated agents, right? They're useful for you and you want to make sure it's not just you who has access to them. The way that this would work today, number one, we we have a Terraform provider that's like you can use Terraform to like create agents for you. But also we have a bunch of like export style functionality in in the console that lets you export agents and drop them into other places, but there's not like a one-click share share button where you like share an agent with other people. Basically, we've just tried to break down the barriers to make like taking the body of an agent or you know, whatever API resource.

我们已经尽可能让用户能够轻松地把它上传到别的地方。不过，目前 API 内还没有一套完善的分享机制。We've tried to make it as easy as possible to take that and just like upload it somewhere else. But there's not like a first-class like sharing mechanism within the API right now.

主持人：我想说，你可能会把这个工具提供给客户的最常见方式，就是为它构建一个产品界面。比如，你可以自己搭建网站之类的东西，或者开发一个应用，让客户通过你构建的界面与它交互；这个界面就像是叠加在你托管的代理之上的一层。所以，很多 Claude 托管代理的交互都是直接通过 API 进行的。许多客户会把这项功能作为产品内置功能，提供给他们的终端用户。比如，你在使用一款非常受欢迎的项目管理工具，里面有个看板；你把一张卡片从一列拖到下一列，这可能就会触发一个 Claude 托管代理会话，让它通过 API 启动一个流程，或者启动某个会话，在后台做一些事情。Host: I would say like the most common way that you might give this tool to a customer is to build a product interface for it. So, like you would build your own like website or something or app and they come to that and interact with it through something that you've built that is just like a layer on top of your managed agent. And so, like a lot of a lot of Claude managed agent interaction is just through the API directly. And many many customers are offering that to their end customers as like built like just built into the product. So, like if you're you're in very popular project management tool that has a Kanban board and you drag one card from like a column to to next column, that might trigger a Claude managed agent session to go like, you know, using the API, spin up a flow or spin up some session that does something um in the background.

所以，与其把它做成一个可直接使用、可以在 Claude 各项服务之间共享的前端组件，不如说它是你集成到自己产品里的东西，嗯，更像是在幕后运行。对。And so, instead of having it like be a like front-end component that is directly available that you can kind of like share out across Claude services, it's something that you would build into your own product um that's kind of more behind the scenes. Yeah.

嘉宾：根据交给它们的那个什么来。所以，问题是，有没有办法调整智能体的行为，不是通过智能体的系统提示，而是让它根据你交给智能体的工作类型来决定？嗯，这个回答有点像是在回避问题，不过我大概会直接根据情况设置系统提示，比如说，如果你希望智能体考虑工作的粗略规模，那么它就应该根据工作规模采取不同类型的行动。没有什么旋钮可以调。好吧，其实我收回刚才的话。你或许可以做到这一点，嗯，具体要看你想实现什么。我们有可以按会话单独调整的工作量旋钮，而且我们也能按会话覆盖某些字段。Guest: By the what which is being given to them. So, the question is like is there a way to tweak the behavior of agents rather than like in the system prompt of the agent instead to be keyed based on the type of work that you give the agent? Um a little bit of a cop-out answer, but I would probably just system prompt that based on the like like like if you want the agent to think about let's let's say that you know rough sizes of work, like the agent should like take different types of action based on that size of work. There's not like a knob Okay, well, actually I I take that back. One way that you might be able to do this um depending on what exactly you're trying to accomplish um is that we have effort knobs on the um uh on a per session basis. And we also have the ability to like override some subset of fields on a per session basis.

所以，如果你接到一项任务，也有一个智能体，就可以根据你想完成的目标，调整这些工作量设置，或者更改智能体的不同部分。我大概会这么做。对，所以问题是，Claude 到底是怎么知道的，对吧？Claude 怎么知道该以什么规模运行？嗯，我知道这可能不是最令人满意的开放式回答，但答案其实就是评估和较低的默认设置。比如说，如果你让它查询股票代码，我们不应该启动一千个都在消耗大量 token 的智能体，对吧？但如果你问的是纳维-斯托克斯方程，对吧？也许你就得把工作流程推得更进一步，明确要求它做到这一点——比如启动那个级别的智能体，对，那个级别的并行化。所以，嗯。And so, if you like given a task and an agent, you can like set those effort knobs or like change different parts of the agent based on what it is you're trying to accomplish. That's probably how I would do that. Yeah, so the question is how does Claude even know, right? Like how does Claude know what scale uh to to operate? Um my I know it's probably not the most like satisfying open answer, um but the answer really is like evals and lower defaults where you like if you're if you're asking like the stock ticker thing to run, like we shouldn't be spinning up a thousand agents that are all burning a ton of tokens, right? But if you're asking about Nav your Stokes, right? Like maybe you would have to be pushing a little bit harder on the flow and like asking it specifically to do that uh like like spin up that uh level of agent yeah that level of parallelization so yeah.

好，我觉得我们应该继续。还有一个，最后一个问题，然后是的，最后我们也可以再回答一些问题。明白，问题是：基本上用 Markdown 文件来查看智能体在做什么，同时可能也用它们来定义智能体之类的，这是不是正确的做法？我觉得这很难一概而论。实际情况是，我们的 API 接口有非常非常多的功能，具体取决于你想做什么。比如说，我们会举凭据保险库的例子：如果你把 API 密钥放进一个 Markdown 文件里，然后直接交给 Claude，那可能不太好——抱歉，我应该说，这肯定不行。千万别这么做。所以这真的取决于你想通过 API 接口表达的内容有多复杂。All right, I think we probably should keep rolling. We got one more. One last question and then yeah we can also take more questions at the end too. Got you so the question is is using basically like markdown files to both like see what the agent is doing but also presumably like define the agent etc. The right way to do it. I I think there's a lot of It depends for lack of a better answer. The the reality is that our API surfaces have like a ton ton ton of functionality depending on what it is that you're trying to do. Like we'll talk about credential vaults in an example like if you throw in your API key to a markdown file that you just like give to Claude that's probably bad and sorry I should say that's definitely bad. Do not do that. And so it really just depends on like the complexity of what what you're trying to express with the API surface.

我会说，如果你只是想要一个基础的 Markdown，再配上一组基础内容，让 Claude 基本上拿它做点什么，偶尔用一次，那么 Claude manager agent 可能就不是合适的抽象。不过，Claude 在底层的很多工作方式，你知道的，这些东西本质上都是文本，对吧？所以其实也差不了太远。好吧，我们来，好吧。I will say that if you're just trying to like literally have like a basic markdown with like a basic set of like like Claude basically take that and like do something with it on kind of a one-off basis then Claude manager agent probably isn't isn't the right abstraction for that but like a lot of what how Claude works under the hood with you know all this stuff is basically like text right so it's it's not too far off. Okay let's okay.

主持人：是的，我再补充一点，然后我们可以继续。需要考虑的一点是，某些上下文对每个子代理有多相关。因此，一种做法是逐步提供这些上下文：比如用一个 Markdown 文件链接到其他 Markdown 文件。这样，如果你属于负责开发内核的工程团队，主文档里就可以写明相关文档分别在哪里，例如内核文档在这里，汇编器文档在这里，编辑器文档在这里。这样，子代理就可以读取与自身相关的详细信息，也能帮我省下一些 token。嗯。Host: Yeah I'll just add one more thing and then we can keep going. So one like thing to consider is like how relevant certain context is to each sub agent and so one technique is to gradually reveal that context by having like a markdown file that links to other markdown files so like if you are part of the engineering team that's working on the kernel maybe you have like the main document will say okay here's the separate docs like an an index of like kernel is here and assembler is here and editor is here. And so like it can then read the details that are relevant to that sub agent and I can kind of like save some tokens. So.

主持人：我们可以开始了吗？Host: We good to roll?

嘉宾：开始吧。好。Guest: Let's do it. Yeah.

主持人：好吧，抱歉。我们得继续往下进行。我们会在最后留出提问时间。所以先把问题记下来，之后我们可能也会再待一会儿——如果我没猜错的话。我们甚至都没过来看看大家的控制台。我希望一切都顺利。如果没有，我们很乐意之后帮你运行第一个流程。Host: All right. I'm sorry. We've got to keep moving. We'll we'll have questions at the end. So so save your questions and we'll uh we'll also probably hang out for a little bit after if I I had to guess. We didn't even come around and like look at people's consoles. I I I hope it worked. Uh if it didn't, we're happy to help you uh run your first flow uh later on.

嘉宾：嗯，好。之前我们谈到过，呃，Harrison 提到了 Bug Hunter，而上一次 AIE 中浮现出的另一个常见主题是关于闭环。我们如何闭合这些环路，让所有这些系统能够更好地自主运行？Bug Hunter 是一种非常非常有效的工作流，也是我们一直在使用的一种模式，嗯，我想稍微聊一聊。它也可以作为模板使用，也集成在 Cloud Code 中。Bug Hunter 背后的想法是，你可以提交一个 PR，然后让 Bug Hunter 工作流审查这个 PR，并找出可能存在的问题，比如性能问题，或者实际的故障，嗯，让你作为人工审核者能够更快地审查 PR。所以，嗯，与其只让单个智能体审查 PR，Bug Hunter 是一种更有效的 PR 审查方式，因为它会使用一个……Guest: Um okay. So earlier we talked about or uh Harrison mentioned Bug Hunter and another common theme that fell out of the last AIE was around loops. How can we close these loops to make all of these systems kind of like work more on their own and run more autonomously? And Bug Hunter is a very very effective flow and a pattern that we have been using um and I I want to talk a little bit about it. It's also available as a template and also in cloud code. So the idea behind Bug Hunter is you can put up a PR and then you can have a Bug Hunter flow review that PR and uh surface problems that might be uh performance issues or uh you know, like actual like uh breakages um and uh allow you to more quickly review PRs as a human. And so uh instead of just having a single agent review a PR, Bug Hunter is a is is a much more effective way to go about reviewing PRs because it uses a

Bug 猎手：多智能体 PR 审查Bug Hunter: multi-agent PR review

这个流程会接收你的代码，将其拆分成多个片段，再把每个片段交给一个独立的上下文。你可以把它想象成一个代理，它只负责审查其中一个代码片段，并开始记下“这里可能有问题，这里可能有问题，这里可能有问题”。然后再把这些内容交给第二个阶段，由审查者判断：“好吧，针对这段代码，我同意或不同意这些问题。”最后，再由一个阶段汇总所有内容，挑出可能确实存在、需要进一步核实的问题。比如说，如果你是人工审查 PR 的审查者，在查看代码时，通常会了解代码库中其他部分的背景，而这些部分甚至没有在这个 PR 中提到。flow where it takes your code, splits it up into these slices, each of those slices is handed to an individual context. You have this like uh an agent that has uh the responsibility of reviewing only that slice of code and starting to like write down this might be a problem, this might be a problem, this might be a problem. Then handing that to a second phase where that reviewer can say like, "Okay, given this slice of code, I agree or disagree with these different problems, and then having that all be surfaced to one phase that can like pick candidates that might actually be real problems that we need to go out and verify. So, like if you were a human reviewer of a PR and you are looking through some code, you often will have context about different parts of the code base that aren't even mentioned as part of this PR.

所以，这通常就是为什么我们会信任人类去继续审查进入我们代码库的代码。不过，当代理能够开始向你指出这些问题时，审查就会变得高效得多。作为人类，你可能会说：“我觉得这会有问题，因为我知道代码库的另一个角落里有相关情况。让我把这个 PR 拉下来，确认这确实会成为问题，以及问题可能有多严重。”于是，你可以进行这个验证阶段：下载仓库，让代理尝试复现这个 bug，或者确认这个 bug 确实是个实际问题，然后把这些情况整理成报告。在这个例子里，我们只是说它是一份报告，但在实际使用中，这些内容会作为评论添加到你的实际 PR 中，Bug Hunter 会直接在代码行内指出问题，比如说：“好，你对这个文件做了这样的修改，而在代码库很远的另一个角落里，这会导致一个意想不到的问题。”And so, that's often why we trust humans to go and continue to review the code that's entering our code bases. Uh but this becomes much more effective because the agents can start to surface those problems to you. Um one of the things that you might do as a human is say like, "I think this is going to be a problem because of this this other like corner of the code base that I know about. Let me pull down this PR and verify that that's actually like going to be an issue and how big of an issue it might be." And so, you can run through this prover phase where you could download have an agent download the repo, try to reproduce the bug, or like verify that the bug is actually like a legit problem. And then have these surfaced in a report. In this case, we just say like, you know, it's it's a report, but in practice, these are added as comments to your your actual PR where Bug Hunter would raise an issue like inline and say, "Okay, you're making this change to this file and then way off on like this this distant corner of the code base, that's going to cause like this unexpected problem for you."

嗯，它可以给你排定优先级，你知道，这个问题可能非常严重，也可能没那么严重。嗯，所以再说一次，这是一个例子：你可以根据自己的代码库，以及代码库的构成——比如它是单体仓库，还是有很多不同的仓库，等等——把测试时计算资源投入到问题的不同部分。嗯，Bug Hunter 是一个非常非常有效的工具，可以帮助完善 PR 流程的闭环。你可以通过 Cloud Code 启动它。这就是 Cloud API 如何扩展和管理 Bug Hunter 中的代理。嗯，对，这大概就是它的工作方式。还有一个非常有意思的流程。嗯，有多少人关注我们的 Twitter 账号 Cloud Devs？你们有在……上关注 Cloud Devs 吗？Um and it can it can give you priorities, you know, this is like a very severe or like less severe thing. Um So, again, this is a one of the instances where you can like throw test time compute at different parts of the problem depending on your code base and the composition of like, you know, is it a mono repo or you have like lots of different repos, etc. Um Bug Hunter, really really effective tool for uh helping close the loop on um your PR process. This is how you would spin it up with Cloud Code. Cloud API scale manage agents on board Bug Hunter. Um and uh yeah, this is kind of like how how that works. Another really fun flow. Um how many people follow us on Twitter, Cloud Devs? Do you follow follow Cloud Devs on

Explainer Studio：制作视频的流程Explainer Studio: flows that make videos

Twitter？好。行。哦，你们的人数不够。人数不够。好吧。所以，呃，如果你在 Twitter 上关注 Cloud Devs，就会发现我们宣布新产品或新功能时，很多时候都会配上一段动画视频，介绍该产品或功能的工作方式。所以，我们实际上会用一个流程来生成很多这样的视频。这样一来，呃，我可以直接启动一个流程，说：“介绍一下动态工作流是如何运作的。”然后它就可以依次完成这些阶段，甚至也可以作为子流程来运行，或者，呃，抱歉，不是子流程，而是独立的流程——如果我们愿意的话。呃，它会先进入研究阶段，去查找这项功能实际运作方式的所有细节。然后进行规划、探索和事实核查，接着生成一份简报。Twitter? Okay. All right. Oh, not enough of you. Not enough of you. Yeah, okay. So, uh if you follow Cloud Devs on Twitter, you'll see that a lot of times when we announce new products or new features, they come with like an animated video that explains how that product or feature works. So, we actually use a flow to generate many of those videos. And so, uh you can I can just say, you know, kick I can kick off a a flow and say, "Explain how dynamic workflows works." And then it can run through each of these phases or even uh as sub flows or like I'm sorry, not sub flows, just individual separate flows if we wanted. Uh so, it's going to have like a research phase. It's going to go out and find what are all the actual details about how this works. And plan and scout and fact-check. And then it will build a brief.

然后，它可以把设计简报交给制作团队，由他们制作各个场景并为这些场景制作动画。实际上，我们还会经过另外几个阶段，来制作音效、配音、脚本之类的各种内容。最后，你就能得到一段视频。 嗯，Explainer Studio 这个工作流程用起来确实很有意思。我也会稍微帮忙打理我们的 Twitter 账号，所以我觉得它为我节省了大量时间。想想看，四年前，要制作我们发布在 Twitter 上的视频，我不知道，可能得花 20 个小时左右来做动画、把画面打磨得漂亮。而现在，只要写一个很短的提示词，把它交给一个工作流程就行了。 你也可以在 Cloud Code 中做到这一点，只需启用 Cloud API skill 管理的智能体 Explainer Video Maker。And then it can take that design brief and hand it off to production that will go and make individual scenes and animate those scenes. And then uh in practice, we actually have like another set of phases that will do like sound effects and voiceovers and scripting and like all this other stuff. And at the end, you get a video. Um so, Explainer Studio, this is like actually like a quite quite a fun flow to use. Um and uh as someone who helps a little bit with our Twitter profile, I think it like saves me a ton of time. I think like, you know, 4 years ago, making the videos that we publish uh on Twitter would have taken like, I don't know, 20 hours or something to animate and like make beautiful. And now it's just, you know, one very small prompt off to uh off to a flow. Um you too can do this in Cloud Code uh with the Cloud API skill managed agent on board Explainer Video Maker.

嗯，对，就问一下怎么……什么是 DNS？DNS 到底是怎么工作的？我不知道。看看。呃，它会生成一个流程。我们有……对，我们有它生成的几个视频。那我们来看看。好。那么，如果任务包含的部分太多，一个智能体处理不过来怎么办？好，我们有 300 份合同。我们想让它审查所有这些合同，找出某些信息。使用动态工作流时，智能体会编写工作流，然后查找这些控制权变更条款。后台的服务器会运行这个工作流。这是……嗯，这个只是我的声音。对，因为我们……Um and yeah, just ask how What is DNS? How does DNS even work? I don't know. Let's see. Uh and it'll generate a flow. So, we've got Yeah, we've got a couple uh of videos that it made. So, let's let's see. All right. So, what if the task has too many pieces for one agent? All right. So, we have 300 contracts. We want it to go through all those contracts and find something out. So, with dynamic workflows, the agent is going to write the workflow. And then find these change of control clauses. So, the server in the background is going to run that workflow. This is well, this one is just my voice. Yeah, cuz we

主持人：嗯，是的。听起来很不错，对吧？不。结果返回来了，它们都合并在一起了。所以，这些就像是我们讨论过的不同事件。你可以看到，它通过动画解释得相当清楚，比如会话线程是如何工作的，如何通过 API 传入这个 multi-agent 参数来启用它，然后还会告诉你：“哦，对，设置预算可能很重要。如果预算发生变化，或者你提前结束、没有花完预算，就可以延长预算，等等。”嗯，是的。Host: were uh yeah. Sounds so good, right? No. The results come back. They're all combined. So, these are like the different events that we talked about. So, you can kind of like see it's actually like pretty well animated explaining, you know, how session threads work, how to enable it through the API by passing this multi-agent uh argument, and then telling you, "Oh, yeah, it's probably important to set up a budget. And if the budget changes, you can or like if if you if you if you uh end early without spending it, you can extend it, etc." Um yeah.

嘉宾：我该如何部署到 YouTube，或者……Guest: How do I deploy to YouTube or

主持人：它不会发布到 YouTube，不会。呃，而且……Host: It does not deploy to YouTube, no. Uh and

嘉宾：嗯，这是个好问题。嗯，不过我们确实应该做。应该做。对。好吧，如果你想在 YouTube 上关注一个不错的频道，可以看看 YouTube 上的 Claude AI 频道。我们做过一些特别有意思的内容，比如直播音乐；最近 Claude FM 还直播了一段很有秋日氛围的音乐。谁想看看自行车是怎么制造出来的？好，有多少人想看看马桶是怎么制造出来的，或者马桶是怎么运作的？对，不是看它们怎么造，而是看它们怎么运作。好吧。行，我们看看。对，我觉得马桶胜出了，不过优势不算特别大，但是……Guest: Um that's a good question. It's a um We should, though. We should. Yeah. Right. So, if you if you uh a good follow on YouTube is the Claude AI channel on YouTube where we have done some like really fun things where like it'll stream like music and uh Claude FM did like a very kind of like nice autumnal kind of like vibe music thing uh live streamed recently. Who wants to see how a bicycle is made? Okay. How many people want to see how a toilet is made or how a toilet works? Yeah, not not how they're made, how they work. So, okay. All right, let's see. Yeah, toilet I think was the winner just like not by a ton, but

主持人：是啊，我觉得[清了清嗓子]我们知道自行车是怎么运作的，所以，嗯。还有，我很喜欢这些视频看起来像是 Claude 品牌出品的。比如我们问它，它就会给我们一个组合标识，你知道，就是背景之类的都用相同的颜色。你也可以给它自己的品牌风格。还有一个推荐是，用 Claude Design 来赋予它你的品牌风格，并进一步创建你自己的设计系统。你可以打开 Claude AI/Design，或者直接在 Claude 桌面应用里使用 Design，然后把你的 Claude Design 风格提供给你的流程，并说：“你知道的，遵循我的品牌风格——我的品牌设置。”而且底部的字体也用了 Anthropic 的字体等等，这还挺酷的。Host: Yeah, I think [clears throat] we know how bicycles work, so Yeah. Also love that it's like Claude branded the videos. Like we ask them, it'll give us like a lockup that has, you know, sort of the the the same colors and everything Uh for the backgrounds and you can kind of like give it your own brand style. Another like plug would be to use Claude design to give it your brand style and go through and create your own like design system. So, you can go in like Claude AI {slash} design or use design directly from the the Claude uh desktop app and then given your Claude design style, you can uh give that to your flow and say like, you know, follow my brand uh my my brand settings and it even like the font at the bottom is even like the Anthropic fonts and everything, which is pretty cool.

所以，这确实是一个非常非常强大的工具，尤其是当你负责制作动画视频并发布到网上时，嗯，是吧。嗯，还有一个非常有趣的流程示例，不过它的应用场景多得数不胜数：无论你是想解决某个——嗯，你知道的——非常重要的千年难题，还是想生成视频、优化自己的股票选择，或者——嗯——改进你的开发工作流。[清嗓子] 你可以用流程构建各种各样的东西。嗯，我们之前稍微聊过，单个智能体有一些难以应对的事情。这是我们在动态工作流中学到的一条重要经验，我想简单谈谈这些事情，以及它们如何适用于……So, really really powerful tool, especially if you are responsible for animating videos to post on the internet uh and yeah. Uh another really fun example of flows, but there's lots and lots of different use cases, whether you're trying to solve some um you know, really important millennium problem or you're trying to generate video or you're trying to like improve your stock picks or uh you know, your dev flow. [clears throat] There's lots and lots of different things that you can build with flows. Um so, one thing that we talked about a little bit earlier was a a handful of things that single agents struggle with. And this is a big takeaway that we learned as part of dynamic workflows and I wanted to just talk a little bit about them and how they apply to uh sort of

懒惰、自我偏见与目标偏移Laziness, self-bias & goal drift

来自 Claude Code 的经验，以及它们如何适用于 Claude 托管代理。首先是智能体惰性，其次是自我偏好偏差，第三是目标漂移。嗯，结果发现，如果我们的提示大致是这样的：“我们现在遇到了故障。请查看这 50 个不同的服务，告诉我，呃，你知道，告诉我故障的根本原因是什么，但不要碰生产环境。就是说，别真的去改生产环境里的任何东西。去调查一下是不是发生了故障？不要碰生产环境。”单个代理可能会遇到这样的问题：它看到 35 个服务都运行正常后，就开始说服自己，觉得，哦，看来一切都挺好的，应该没事。我其实没必要再去看剩下那些服务了。所以，嗯，我们发现，智能体惰性可能是单个代理会遇到的问题之一；当它看到这么多服务都正常后，就可能会觉得：“好了，我觉得没问题了。”from from Claude Code and how they apply to Claude managed agents. So, one is agentic laziness, another is self-preferential bias, and the third is goal drift. So, um it turns out that like if our prompt is something like, "We're having an outage right now. Please go look at these 50 different services and tell me if uh you know, tell me the root cause of uh of the outage, but don't touch production. Like don't actually like change anything in production. Go research is there an outage? Don't touch production." A single agent might have this problem where after it sees 35 services are healthy, then it starts to like convince itself that oh, it's like everything looks good. It's probably fine. Like I don't really actually need to look at the rest of them the services. So, um we have seen that agentic laziness can be like one of the things that a single agent will run into and after it's seen so many that are good, it can kind of just be like, "Okay, I think we're good.

我就先不看剩下的内容了，省点 token，告诉告诉我们的人，呃，我们已经可以开始了。”协调器也会遇到类似的问题：可能有三个子代理向报告者或协调器汇报，而协调器仍然得跟踪“好，我们已经看到了多少个？”以及所有服务是否都运行正常。那些子代理自己也可能到某个时候就开始偷懒。所以，嗯，和只用一个代理相比，整体并没有太大改善。有了工作流之后，情况就不太一样了——这不一定是确定性的，但我们可以拆分任务，并为每项服务在上下文中配备一个独立代理。这样一来，每个代理只负责自己那一小块工作，我们就能得到好得多的答复，因为我们可以从工作流中看出——你知道的——把任务分发给全部 50 项服务，为每项服务配备一个代理去检查它是否运行正常。Let me just not look at the rest and let's save some tokens and tell tell our human that like we're good to go." Coordinator runs into a sort of a similar problem where the you might have three sub-agents reporting back to the reporter or to to the coordinator and the coordinator still has to like keep track of like, "Okay, how many have we seen?" and are all of the services healthy? And those sub-agents might also themselves get lazy at a certain point. And so, um you don't really like improve too much over having the single agent. When we have flows, we have this sort of it's it's not necessarily deterministic, but we have the ability to split up and dedicate a an individual agent in context to each of those services. So, they're only responsible for their small scope of work and we can get a much better answer back because we can tell from the flow you know, fan out across all 50 services and dedicate an agent to each of those services to go and see if that service is healthy.

到最后，我们就能确定已经逐一检查了每一项服务。所以，这有点像是把 fan-out 和循环直到完成这两种模式结合起来了。 自我偏好偏差。嗯，如果你让一个智能体写一首诗，然后问它：“写得好吗？”它会说：“嗯，挺好的。”嗯，这种情况相当常见。如果你让一个智能体写一些代码，然后问它：“代码写得好吗？”它也会说：“嗯，挺好的。”这是因为通常是它自己完成了这项工作，而且它对自己做出来的成果也挺满意。所以，如果你能把这两件事拆开，就能得到更好的结果。我们从顾问模式中就能看出这一点：你可以让一个智能体负责生成，再让另一个智能体评判生成的结果。这有点像是利用生成器与判别器之间的差异。And by the end, we know for sure that we went and checked every single service. So, this is like the fan out and loop intel done kind of like combined. Self-preferential bias. Um if you ask an agent to write a poem and then you ask the agent, "Is that good?" It's going to say, "Yeah." Um this is like a pretty common thing. If you ask an agent to write some code and then you say like, "Is the code good?" It's going to say, "Yeah." And it's because it like generally was the one who did the work and like is happy with the work that it did. And so, if you can uh split that up, you get better results. We know this from the advisor pattern where you might have like one agent that is the generator and one agent that is like judging the results of that. Like kind of uh taking advantage of that generator discriminator gap.

但是，当你遇到一个非常庞大的问题时，还是会碰到这种情况——如果没有这些彼此独立、明确区分的检查点，你的智能体阵容未必能扩展到所需的规模。借助工作流，我们可以把任务分散给许多不同的智能体，并进行对抗式审查。审查拥有独立隔离的上下文，不会受到之前内容的任何影响。But, when you have like a really massive problem, you're still going to like run into this prothis you'll you'll run into a situation where like you your roster is not going to like necessarily scale up to a point that you need without having like these separate and distinct kind of like checkpoints. And so, with a flow, we can spread out across lots of these different agents and have like adversarial review that has its own isolated context that isn't being like influenced at all by previous things

大规模智能体安全Agent safety at scale

它检查过的内容。最后一个是目标漂移。所以，如果你还记得，最初的提示大概是：去扫描所有这些服务，告诉我我们的状态是否正常。但我最后说的是：别碰生产环境。对吧？因此，如果我们不断填满上下文窗口、不断压缩，再填满上下文窗口、再压缩，在检查所有这些服务的过程中，我们不仅可能会偷懒，倾向于采纳自己的答案，而且“别碰生产环境”这一点也可能在这个过程中丢失。所以，重要的是要记住，随着上下文不断变长，我们可能会忘记自己的具体目标是什么。而使用流程时，我们可以在一开始设定一个非常明确的目标，而且因为我们有这些独立的上下文，就能确保以非常一致的方式，把这个目标传递给负责不同阶段的每个子代理。that it checked. The last one is goal drift. So, if you remember like the the initial prompt was something like, go out and scan across all these services and tell me if we're healthy, but the last thing that I said was like, don't touch prod. Right? And so, if we are filling the context window and compacting and we're filling the context window and we're compacting, we're going through all these services, not only might we be lazy and we're well like prefer our own answers, but also that piece of don't touch prod could potentially like get lost in that process. And so, one of those things of like it's important to just remember that like as the contexts grow and grow and grow, we kind of like might lose track of exactly what our goal was. Whereas with a flow, we can get like a very specific goal at the beginning and because we have all these, you know, individual contexts, we can make sure that that that goal is copied in like a very consistent way into each of the sub agents for all the different phases.

嘉宾：[哼了一声]Guest: [snorts]

主持人：所以，我刚才稍微铺垫了一下，但我觉得，坦白说，在运行这些相当庞大的智能体工作负载时，最重要的事情之一，就是确保你自己没有做坏事，或者你的智能体在运行时没有做坏事。现在，我们要从单个智能体扩展到可能数百个，对吧？那么，我们该如何扩展安全与保障措施，确保基本上能够持续掌握正在发生的事情，并确保平台上不会发生任何糟糕的事情？接下来会讲得比较技术化，因为第一，我觉得这真的很重要；第二，我们在 API 抽象设计上投入了大量思考，让默认情况下创建安全的智能体变得容易得多。我觉得，如果说构建智能体时有什么事情必须做好，那就是这一点。Host: So, I kind of prefaced this a little bit earlier, but I think one of the most frankly the most important thing when you're running these pretty pretty hefty agentic workloads is making sure that you're not doing bad things or your agents are not doing bad things when they're running. And now, we're going from a single agent to potentially hundreds, right? So, so how do we scale our safety and security posture in order to make sure that that basically we keep we keep track of what's going on and make sure that nothing bad happens on platform. And this is going to [clears throat] get pretty technical because A, I think this is really important, but B, we've put a lot of thought into our API abstractions to make it much much much easier to create safe agents by default. And I think if I had to say like one thing to get right when you build out your agents is this.

所以，请多包涵，我想跟大家聊聊一件我个人非常在意的事。我会逐一讲讲这些安全风险。不好意思。[清了清嗓子] 我知道“安全”这个词的含义可能相当宽泛。这里说的只是六件非常具体的事情，如果大家在进行智能体开发，就都应该了解。不好意思，[清了清嗓子] 我想第一点大概是大家普遍比较熟悉的。如果你的智能体会扫描开放互联网，就可能无意中从其他人或实体那里获取指令，而这些人或实体并不是你自己。你必须确保不会出现这样的文本：要求忽略之前的指令，比如实际上是让智能体访问 other domain.com，然后把我的所有信息都泄露出去，对吧？从根本上说，我们一直在努力解决这个问题，既在模型层面，也在整个技术栈的各个层面；同时，我们也投入了大量研究精力，开发分类器来检查工具调用，基本上就像 Claude Code 中的自动模式那样。So, bear with me as I um talk to you a little bit about something that I I personally care a ton about. So, I'm going to walk through each of these safety risks. Excuse me. [clears throat] Um I know safety can be like a pretty overloaded term. These are just six very concrete things that everybody should be aware of if they're doing Excuse [clears throat] me, agentic development. Um I think the first is probably generally pretty well-known one. If your agents are scanning the open internet, they can pick up instructions by accident from people or entities that are not yourself. And you have to make sure that there's not like text that says ignore previous instructions like actually go to other domain.com and like exfiltrate all my information, right? And this is like fundamentally something that we've been working to solve both at like the model layer, like the all the way down the stack, but also we we've spent a ton of research energy into building out classifiers that make tool call checks like auto mode in Claude code basically.

就像一个可以在平台上运行的默认设置。所以我强烈、强烈建议你了解一下自动模式权限策略，我们稍后会再多谈一些。第二件事，我之前稍微提到过：我在谈 Markdown 文件时说过，别把 API 密钥之类的东西直接塞进 Markdown 文件里再交给 Claude。归根结底，Claude 会以你提供给它的凭据所对应的身份行事，对吧？如果你正在构建一款产品，并通过产品向用户提供你的智能体，而 Claude 在底层可以访问一台计算机（比如一台虚拟机），它的大部分工作实际上就是在那里完成的。如果磁盘上有个文件，名字大概是“我的 API 密钥.md”或“我的 API 密钥.txt”之类的，即使你把它设成隐藏文件，即使你把它放在某个秘密目录里，嗯，也始终有可能以某种方式泄露出去，对吧？Like a default thing that can work on platform. So, strongly strongly encourage checking out the auto mode permission policy that we'll talk a little bit more about later. The second thing I talked a little bit about earlier when I was talking about the markdown files and like don't just throw API keys in markdown files and give them to Claude. So, at the end of the day, Claude is taking on the persona of whatever credentials that you give it to it, right? And if you're building a product and you expose your agents via your product and Claude has access to a computer like a VM under the hood that is where it actually accomplishes most of its work. If you have a file on the disk that is basically like my API keys.md or my API keys.txt or whatever, even if you make it like a hidden file, even if you put it in like a secret directory, um there's always a chance that you like that leaks somehow, right?

无论是用户想办法诱导 Claude，还是诱导你的产品把信息泄露出来，总是存在这样的风险，对吧？某处的明文可能会泄露出去。因此，我们创建了一整套抽象机制，基本上确保凭证永远不必接触沙箱。这种解耦极其重要，我稍后会详细讨论。另一个，也就是第三个问题，是数据外泄。如果你的智能体能够访问敏感信息，你就要确保它不会把这些敏感信息分享给你之外的第三方。此外，你还要确保智能体不会超出你的要求行事。我之前稍微谈到过预算。平台上还可以设置其他限制。Whether it's a user figuring out a way to prompt Claude or prompt your product in order to get it out. Um there there's just always a risk, right, that that plaintext somewhere um could could uh make it out. And so we we created an entire suite of abstractions to ensure, basically, that credentials never have to touch the sandbox. And this is an incredibly important decoupling, and I'm going to talk about it extensively later. The other or the third one is data exfiltration. If your agent has access to sensitive information, you want to make sure that it's not sharing that sensitive information with third parties who are not yourself. Additionally, you want to make sure your agent is not overreaching what you've asked it to do. I talked a little bit about budgets earlier. There's other limits that you can set on the platform.

此外，你还要通过为智能体设定权限策略，确保它不会越出自己的能力范围，这样它实际上只能运行你授权它使用的工具。最后但同样重要的是，能够了解智能体在做什么，基本上是必不可少的。因此，作为开发者，你的工作有三…Um on top of that, you want to make sure your agents are not operating outside of like their uh their wheelhouse by establishing permission policies on the agent so that only tools that you give the agent access to can actually run. And then last but not least, like it's pretty table stakes to have some visibility into what the agent is doing. And so we have a durable event stream that has essentially the full trajectory of everything uh your agent is doing across the entirety of its life cycle. So, your job as a developer is three

声明、包含、检测Declare, contain, detect

不同的事情。我们喜欢这个很顺口、很吸引人的说法：声明、限制、检测。嗯，但这就是现实，对吧？你必须声明你的智能体是什么、它拥有哪些权限、能做什么、应该采用什么角色设定，以及它具备哪些技能、工具等等。嗯，至于“限制”这部分，字面上说的就是智能体的物理限制。那么，如何限制智能体，才能确保即使在最糟糕的情况下，它在开放互联网上造成的危害也微乎其微？因此，我们在环境策略中提供了非常明确的配置，你可以指定它只能访问这些域名，或者只能使用网页搜索、不能抓取网页，反之亦然，具体取决于你的需求。最后但同样重要的是，我一直在谈的那个持久事件流，它是让你实时检测正在发生的事情的一种非常关键的方式。如果智能体正在做一些你不满意的事——当然，具体什么算满意，取决于你的定义——你随时都可以实时监听这些事件流，并立即中断任何偏离你期望方向的会话。different things. We like this nice like very catchy declare, contain, detect. Um but that's that's the reality of it, right? You have to declare what your agent is, the permissions it has, what it can do, what you what persona it should take on, skills, tools, etc. Um and then like the contain piece is literally like the the physical limitations of the agent. So, how do you contain the agent so that even in the absolute worst of case, the amount of harm that it could do on the open internet is is minimal. And so this is where we have very explicit configurations in your environment policy where you can say you can only access these domains or you can only access a web search but not web fetch or vice versa depending on on on your needs. And last but not least, that durable event stream that I keep talking about is like a very crucial way for you to to detect things that are happening in real time and if if the agent is doing something that you aren't are not happy with depending on whatever like your definition of happy is, and you can always listen to these event stream in real time and immediately interrupt any sessions that are going in a different direction than you'd like.

嗯，我想想。不错。所以我们早在……推出 Claude 托管代理时，Um, let's see. Cool. So when we shipped Claude managed agents back in

将大脑与双手分离Separating the brain from the hands

April，几乎出现了这样一个梗：Anthropic 似乎终结了这场争论，对吧？也就是在构建智能体基础设施时，大脑和双手应该分开。玩笑归玩笑，我们认为这是基础设施中非常非常关键的一部分，它让安全性能够成为默认选项。这里的想法是，大脑——也就是在通用智能体框架中实际运行推理的循环，以及会话状态，也就是每个智能体和会话整个生命周期中发生的事情——与我们所说的 Claude 的双手完全分开。双手指的是智能体真正能够在现实世界中采取行动的地方。你可以把双手想象成在 Claude 能访问的电脑上运行 grep。April, there was almost like this meme that Anthropic like settled the debate, right? The the brain and hands should should be separate when you're building out an agentic infrastructure. And like jokes aside, we think this is a very very critical component of our infrastructure that makes safety kind of just default possible. The idea here is that the brain, which is like the loop that's actually running inference in the just general agentic harness, as well as the session state, so like what's happened across all of the life cycle of every agent and a session is fully separate from what we call the hands of Claude, which is the place that the agent is actually able to take action in the real world. And you can think of hands as like running a grep on a computer that Claude has access to.

你可以把它想成一个定制工具，或者说，一个可能运行在你 Mac OS 机器上的定制工具，我们之前谈到过这一点。总的来说，你不应该有任何办法能让“手”获得访问权限，并以任何可能被视为有害的方式完全操控“大脑”。这正是我们如何将所有需要在“大脑”和工具框架中访问的机密信息，与“手”本身隔离开的关键所在。我们确保凭证注入能够正常运作的方式很有意思。我记得稍后会更详细地谈到这一点；大致思路是，任何能够访问机密信息的容器里，你都把那些机密信息伪造出来，对吧？也就是说，如果你试着用那个机密信息调用类似 my API.com 的接口，那些值实际上是无效的。You can think of it like a custom tool that or rather a custom tool that might run on a you know, your Mac OS machine that we we talked about earlier. Broadly speaking, there should be like no way for you to given a hand access and totally steer the brains in any way that could be considered harmful. And this is like the key thing of like how we separate all of the secret information that can that needs to be accessible in the brain and the harness from the hands themselves. And so, the way um there's this really interesting way that we have made sure that uh credential injection works. And I think I talk about it on a little bit more detail later if I remember correctly, but um the idea is that every container that has access to any secret, you just totally fake the secrets, right? Like those values don't actually work if you try to call like my API.com with that secret.

只有在流量向外发送时，也就是右侧这里的出口代理层，才会把这些凭据替换成实际的凭据。所以，根本无法通过物理方式诱使 Claude，或者让它访问沙箱，再从沙箱或从 Claude 的大脑中获取那些凭据。这样就彻底将智能体相关的部分与凭据本身解耦了。所以，我之前也算是先说明过这一点：默认情况下，你不应该因为使用 Cloud Manager 智能体或自行构建智能体工作负载而误操作，导致凭据泄露。所以，请务必、务必、务必认真对待这一点。我认为这非常、非常关键。And only on the way out um at this egress proxy layer here on the right side, do those credentials actually get substituted for what like the actual credential is. So, there's no way like physically to prompt Claude or to um like give an access to a sandbox, get that credential off of the sandbox or off of off of Claude Claude's brain. Um so, this is is like totally decouples the the agentic stuff from the um the actual like uh credentials themselves. So, I yeah, I kind of preface this already, but basically like you by default uh like, you know, you should not be able to foot gun yourself um in using Cloud Manager agents or building any agentic workloads uh yourselves um into leaking your credentials. So, like definitely definitely definitely take this seriously. I think this is very very crucial.

嗯，那么我把话筒交给 CJ，请他来谈谈……Um So, I'm going to hand it over to CJ to talk about

嘉宾：是的，所以我们会逐一讲解这些不同的事项，以及如何通过 API 来控制它们。再说一次，确保限制 Claude 管理型智能体的一种重要方式——我们已经谈过几次了——就是设置预算。比如我们可以说：“好，运行这个流程。预算是 1.25 美元。”如果预算达到 1.25 美元时流程还没完成，你就可以决定是否提高预算，让它继续运行。它不需要重做已经完成的工作；或者你也可以说：“好，这就是我们为这个特定会话设定的预算。”因此，每次启动任何会话时，无论是不是流程，都可以使用这个预算。它和 Claude 管理型智能体的另一个功能——成果——搭配得非常好。Guest: Yeah, so the uh we'll go through each of these different things and how you can control it from uh from uh the API. So, again, one of the important ways that you can make sure to contain uh Cloud Manager agents, and we've talked about this a few times, is setting a budget. And so, we can say, "Okay, run this flow. You have a $1.25." Uh and then if it hits $1.25 and the flow is not finished, then you can decide whether or not you want to up the budget and let it keep running. And it won't have have redo any of the work that it had already done, um or you can just say like, "Okay, that that's what we had budgeted for that specific session." Um so, every time that you kick off any session, whether it's flows or not, you can use this budget. And this pairs really nicely with um this other part of Claude managed agents called Outcomes.

因此，这两件事结合起来确实非常巧妙，因为现在你可以这样说：“我想要这个结果。这是我想要的成果和预期的评分标准，这里还有一个预算。”然后，在这个预算范围内完成这个成果。嗯，预算的作用就是确保我们能够控制开销，不让这些代理意外地持续消耗 token。下面的第二个代码示例展示了如何通过 API 在流程执行过程中中断它。你只需传入这个事件 user.interrupt，就能停止流程，然后可以重新向 Claude 提示，或者做任何你需要做的事来继续。所以，这是两件不同的事：一件是预算，另一件是在正在运行的会话中途进行中断。And so, the combination of these two things is really beautiful because now you can say, "I would like this result. Here is the outcome that I want and the rubric that I expect, and here is a budget." So, go accomplish this outcome given this budget. Um and the budget, again, is this way to just uh make sure that we're containing and not letting these agents just like uh continue to spend tokens um unexpectedly. The second uh code example there below is how you can interrupt a flow in the middle of the process from the API. So, you can just pass this event, user.interrupt, and this will stop the flow, uh and you can like then reprompt Claude or um do whatever you need to do to continue on. So, these are two different things. So, one is the budget, the other was you can interrupt in the middle of uh of a session that's running.

因此，测试这一点的一种方法是，拿你今天运行的流程，把预算设得比你预期的开销低一些，比如一美元左右，然后运行流程、提高预算，观察它继续运行。这样你就能稍微尝试一下。嗯，我们还讨论了第二个功能：让一个审查代理回顾你所有的会话，了解每个会话中发生了什么，并让你看到调用了哪些工具，以及这些会话中是否发生了任何意料之外的事情。对于这个用例，你可以启动一个由 Claude 管理的代理，并在提示词中说明：“以下是我希望你查找的内容。”And so, one thing to kind of like test this out is I would take, you know, take the flow that you ran today, and then set a budget that's lower than what you expect it to go over, maybe like, you know, uh a dollar or something, and then run the flow, increase the budget, watch it continue, so you can kind of like experiment with that a little bit. Um the second one we talked about the um this ability to have a reviewer agent go back through all of your sessions and understand what happened as part of that session and getting visibility into what were the tools that were called and did anything unexpected happen in any of these sessions? This is another use case where you could spin up a Claude managed agent with a prompt that says, "Here's the things that I want you to look for that happened."

而且，因为我们有这份持久化日志，也记录了发生过的每一个事件，你可以通过 API 拉取这份对话记录，并把它交给一个托管代理，然后说：“审查这份完整的对话记录，以及过去一周左右的所有对话记录，告诉我我的代理是否做了什么意料之外的事、访问了不该访问的内容，或者调用了什么奇怪或出乎意料的工具。”所以，嗯，另一个挺实用的做法是，构建一个 Claude 托管代理，把今天的会话交给它，然后问它：“这些会话中有没有发生什么奇怪的事？”最后，我觉得这其实是最容易上手、最容易取得成效的一项：如果你目前已经集成了任何 Claude 托管代理，就把权限策略从“始终询问”之类的模式改为启用自动模式。And because we have that durable log and we have every single event that happened, you can pull that transcript with the API and pass it to a managed agent and say like, "Review this entire transcript and all of these past transcripts over the last week or whatever and tell me if my agents did anything that was unexpected or accessed anything that was they weren't supposed to or called any tools that were kind of like odd or unexpected." And so, um this is another um kind of like a handy thing that you could do is build a Claude managed agent and hand it the sessions from today and just ask it like, "Was there anything odd that happened in these sessions?" The last and I think this is actually like the easiest lowest-hanging fruit uh if you have any Claude managed agents integrations today and that is uh to take your permission policy from either always ask or like uh and turn on auto mode.

开启自动模式。这件事超级超级重要，而且也非常基础，或者说是唾手可得的成果。嗯，我们做了不少研究，也有一些公开研究表明，你知道，当你在公园里，笔记本电脑开着，屏幕还裂了一点，Claude 不停地问你：“你批准吗？”大家就会说：“点点点点点。是，是，是，是，是。批准，批准，批准。”你知道，作为人类，97% 的时候我们都会点击批准，所以，嗯，我们确实很容易就被带得只会说：“是，是，是。”但 Claude 会耐心许多，而通过使用自动模式，它可以判断某一次工具调用是否安全，是否会采取破坏性操作，以及它到底该不该真的执行那件事。Turn on auto mode. This is like super super important and also very very low level or like low-hanging fruit. Um we did uh a bunch of research and there's some like public research about how uh you know, when your laptop was open and cracked a little bit and you're at the park and Claude keeps asking you like, "Do you approve?" And everyone's like, "Two two two two two. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Approve, approve, approve." You know, like 97% of the time we're going to click approve as humans and so, um we are yeah, we easily get like lulled into just being like, "Yes, yes, yes." But Claude is like much more patient and using auto mode, it can like determine whether or not a single tool call is safe or it's going to take some destructive action and whether or not like it should actually like do that thing.

所以，自动模式下，你只需要把设置从“始终询问”切换到自动模式——或者说，不管你现在用的是什么权限策略，把它切换到自动模式就行。这大概是最简单、最容易着手的事情了。所以。So, auto mode all you have to do is switch from always ask to auto mode or whatever your permission policy is today to auto mode and it's like the easiest lowest-hanging uh fruit thing to do. So.

凭据保管库与工具权限收紧Credential vaults & locking down tools

主持人：太好了。所以我想稍微详细讲讲我之前提到的 Vault，以及为什么我们认为凭证管理是你运行智能体的平台中至关重要的一部分。在这个例子里，我们通过环境变量使用 Twilio API。在最简单的情况下，我们可能会把容器，或者更准确地说，把会话拿来用，比如上传一个包含 .env 文件的文件，里面有 Twilio API 密钥，这样智能体就能读取它，然后如果智能体要在比如说 Python 脚本中执行某些操作，就可以从这个容器里实际调用 Twilio API。不过，问题就在于我刚才说了一会儿的那些明文内容。所以，你不必像默认情况下那样把这些内容直接放进容器里，而是可以使用凭证和凭证 Vault 来管理这些机密信息。Host: Sweet. And so, I want to go into detail a little bit about the vaults thing that I alluded to earlier um and why we think credential management is such a crucial part of any platform that uh you run your agents on top of. So, in this example, we are using the Twilio API via an environment variable. So, in the naive situation here, we'd like take our container or our rather our uh session, maybe like upload a file that has this like.env in it that includes this Twilio API key so that our agents could read it, and then actually call the Twilio API from that container if it was trying to take some some action in let's say a Python script. Um but the problem with that again is like all the plain text stuff I've I've been talking about for for a minute now. Um and so instead of like that default just like getting thrown out of the container, um you can use credentials and credential vaults in order to manage these secrets.

嗯，所以在这种情况下，我们使用一个 Vault 凭据来创建——呃，是为了把我们的 Twilio API 密钥存储为环境变量。这个注入位置的设置，基本上是针对容器所有出站网络流量的：我希望这个密钥出现在哪里？我希望它作为一个 Bearer 令牌出现在出站请求中吗？还是说我希望它直接出现在请求正文里？嗯，你可以根据这个字段进行配置。 此外，这里的网络哈希以及这个允许的主机设置，基本上是说：如果要调用域名 X，呃，或者说，抱歉，如果给定的是我们的凭据 X，那么我们应该在出站时将它替换到哪个域名上？因为如果我们只是天真地能够猜出这些密钥，呃，或者容器中存在的这些占位密钥，我们可不希望我们的 Twilio API 密钥被发到比如说 mydomain.com 之类的地方。Um so in this case we're using a vault credential in order to create a uh in order to store our Twilio API key as an environment variable, and this injection location thing is basically for all network egress on the way out of the container, where do I expect the secret to show up? Do I expect it to be in like a a bearer off uh token on the way out? Or do I expect it to be like literally in the request body? Um uh you can configure um based on this field. Then additionally, the networking hash here with this allowed hosting is basically where given a call to domain X, uh like what what where or sorry, given our credential X, what domain should we substitute on the way out? Because if we just naively were able to like guess these secrets um and or or these like placeholder secrets that exist on the container, we don't we don't want like our Twilio API key to ever go out to I don't know, like mydomain.com.

所以，安全地处理这些内容真的非常重要。然后，在保管库中创建好凭据后，只需在创建会话时传入保管库，平台就会足够智能，能够根据保管库中的内容、已有的密钥，以及出口层中存在的占位密钥，判断如何注入正确的值。我们还谈到了尽可能为智能体提供最少的工具集。我认为，智能体工具集中最有意思的工具之一是网页抓取和网页搜索。你可能会想默认禁用这些工具，因为你不希望智能体在没有得到你明确许可的情况下访问互联网。在这种情况下，可以将你想禁用的任意工具类型的 enabled 字段设为 false。Um so really really important to um uh handle this stuff safely. And then once you've created your credentials uh inside of your vault, then you just pass in the vault and when you create your session and the the platform will be smart enough to know like based on what's in the vault and what secrets exist and at the egress layer what um like placeholder secrets exist, it can like figure out what uh how to inject in the correct values. We also talked about giving agents a the smallest tool set possible. Um so one of the like most um, I think interesting tools that we have in our agent toolset is web fetch and web search. And maybe you want to disable those by default because you don't want your agent to have any access to the internet um, without you very explicitly allowing it. In that case, you can set the enabled field to false for any of the the the types of tools that you want to disable.

嗯，这里只是一些关于 Agent 工具的基本示例。MCP 工具是一个非常有意思的例子，因为你事先并不知道 MCP 服务器会返回哪些 MCP 工具。比如说，你要调用 GitHub MCP。我们当然信任 GitHub。嗯，但如果发生了什么情况，GitHub 遭到入侵，攻击者往里面添加了一个数据窃取工具之类的东西，那会怎样？你大概不希望 Agent 加载这个工具。因此，你可以针对每个工具，按 MCP 工具集分别启用工具。此外，你还可以通过环境配置，从底层限制 Agent 能够访问的网络。你可以再次把环境想成 Claude 所运行的那台计算机。Um, so, here's just some basic examples for agent tools. MCP tools are are a really interesting one because um, you don't know the MCP tools that are going to come back from an MCP server up front. So, like let's say that you're calling out to the GitHub MCP. Like, yeah, we we trust GitHub. Um, but like what if something happened and they were compromised and an attacker added like, you know, my exfiltration tool or something to it. Um, you probably don't want that to be picked up by your agent. And so, you you on a tool-by-tool basis can can enable um, uh, per per MCP toolset. So, um, additionally, you're able to limit the network access that your agent has access to um, like physically using the environment configuration. Um, so, you can think of environments again as like the computer that Claude is operating on.

因此，如果我只想让 api.twilio.com 可以访问，那么我就可以直接在环境配置中明确写出这一点。这样一来，我的 API 密钥就被妥善隐藏起来，不会有被盗的风险。我也可以实际调用 api.twilio.com。如果我尝试调用其他网站，比如 website.com，那么在发生出站流量时，就会在防火墙层面直接失败。And as such, if I only wanted api.twilio.com to be accessible, then I can like literally literally say that in the environment configuration. And so, um, now I have like my API key on the like like hidden away from um, any potential like theft. And I can call api.twilio.com physically. If I tried to call, you know, some other website.com, it would like physically fail at the uh, firewall layer um, on as uh, like like when egress tries to occur.

总结 + 问答，第二轮Wrap-up + Q&A, round 2

嘉宾：好吧。回到一开始的话题，我们认为，很多时候，我们似乎在试图重新发明我们曾经积累的组织经验——比如在六七十年代，如何组建规模庞大的人类团队，去完成那些工程壮举。我们非常期待能让大家使用 flows，也很期待看到大家会用 flows 构建出什么。再说一次，希望大家能利用这些工具，去完成一些真正非常宏大的项目。所以，就从模板开始，把它改造成属于你自己的样子。告诉我们你有什么发现。我们也很乐意再回答一些问题。我想我们差不多快结束了，不过我们也会在外面的走廊交流区待一会儿。当然，大家有任何问题，我们都非常乐意解答。Guest: All right. So, just kind of bringing it back to the beginning, uh, we think that we're in many cases trying to like reinvent the wheel of these organizational learnings that we had, you know, in the the and '70s about how to build really massive teams of humans to go out and achieve these like engineering feats. And so, we're really excited to give you access to flows, and we're excited to see what you'll build with flows. So, again, hopefully you can take these and go achieve some really really ambitious projects. So, again, start from a template, shape it shape it to be your own. Tell us what you find, and yeah, we would love to take some more questions. I think we're getting close to the end here, but we can also we'll also hang out outside in the hallway track. Absolutely happy to answer any questions.

嗯，我看到这边有一个。对。问题是，你尝试给一个智能体布置任务，但它返回的结果不太容易验证。比如视频，这在很大程度上取决于你个人的审美。然后你给它一些反馈，接下来要怎么在工作流中不断迭代呢？我觉得可以先从 Claude Code 入手，先针对某个流程进行迭代。你可以在 Claude Code 中使用动态工作流，也可以直接尝试走一遍生成第一个视频的流程，然后让 Claude 把你的操作编码成一个技能，这样你就可以在 Claude 托管的智能体中，把它作为工作流的一部分来使用。我觉得通常一开始需要经过不少迭代，才能弄清楚有哪些不同阶段，以及这个流程实际是怎么运作的。So, I see one over here, yeah. Yeah, so the question is like you try to you know, give an agent a task, and the thing that it gives you back is like not very verifiable. For example, with the video, that's like very much, you know, your human taste. So, then you give it some feedback, and how do you sort of like iterate on that within flows? I would say one place to start is to start with Claude code and iterating on some process first. So, you can either use dynamic workflows in Claude code or directly try to work through the process of generating your first video, and then have Claude encode like what you did into a skill that you can then use inside of Claude managed agents as part of a flow. So, I think like usually there is like quite a bit of iteration in the beginning to like figure out, okay, what are all the different phases, and how does this process actually work?

也许你需要在整个组织内部开展事实调查，了解现有流程如今是如何构建的。然后尽可能把这些信息编码进去，再用爬山优化技能反复迭代实际的提示词并加以改进。而这种爬山优化可以由人来引导。比如，你可以说：“我们来迭代优化一下，看看怎样才能把这些视频做得特别棒。”然后它会生成一个，你可以说——或者它可能会生成两个，你可以说你更喜欢哪一个。接着它会再生成两个，你再说你更喜欢哪一个，它就会用这种方式不断迭代自己的提示词。对。And maybe you need to do fact finding across the organization to understand how an existing process is built today. And then trying to like do your best to encode that, and then use the hill climb skill to like iterate on the the actual prompt and improve it. And that hill climb thing can be sort of human driven. So, you can say, you know, let's hill climb on making these videos it like really great. And so, it'll generate one, you can say or it'll it might generate two, and you can say which one you prefer. And then it'll generate two more, and you can say which one you prefer, and it kind of like will uh iterate on its own prompt that way. Yeah.

主持人：所以我想，刚才的问题是回到操作系统这个例子上——如果我理解错了请纠正我——什么时候该用 Ultra Code，什么时候该用 Claude 托管代理，比如 flows，对吧？好，好。是的，Ultra Code 适用于这种情况：你坐在笔记本电脑前，在终端里输入命令，直接以交互方式使用 Claude Code。而 Claude 托管代理的 flows 工具，适用于你有一件希望定期重复执行的事情，并且想通过 API 将它集成到某个 API 中，以便接入你想要的任何产品界面，而不是直接使用 Claude Code。是的，我觉得你最后的描述方式是对的：可以把 Ultra Code 理解为这类东西中的一个单独实例。Host: So, I think the question was going back, tell me if I'm wrong on this, but going back to the operating system example, when would you use Ultra Code versus when would you use Claude managed agents, like flows, right? Cool, cool. Yeah, so so Ultra Code is going to be the situation where you're like sitting at your laptop, like typing into the terminal, and using Claude Code directly and interactively. The Claude managed agents flows tool would be if you have like a repeatable thing that you want to happen on some regular basis, and want to integrate an API against an API that can hook into like whatever product surface uh you want, rather than like directly just using Claude Code. Yeah, I I think that that way that you described it at the end there is is is the correct way to think about it, that Ultra Code is like the the single instance of one of these things essentially.

实际上，我们把 Ultra Code 视作一种抽象或方法论，并将其泛化为 Claude 托管智能体 API 上的流程。嗯，你可以把 Ultra Code 看作是我一次性的、亲自与这个东西交互；而 Claude 托管智能体则像是：“好，我想把它提升到更高一层，重复使用它们，并按照我想要的触发计划来运行它们。”这是个很好的问题。问题是，如果平台上发生了恶意行为，你会如何看待责任问题？嗯，很遗憾，我不是律师，所以没法对此做太多明确的评论。不过，我会把这看作经营其他平台类业务：如果你接入某个 API，并在其上构建产品，那么归根结底，平台本身会直接与用户建立关系。And we actually took the Ultra Code like uh abstraction or methodology, and generalized it into what flows is on the Claude managed agents API. Um and so, you can think of Ultra Code as like the my one-off, like me interacting with the thing, and then Claude managed agents is like the, "Okay, I want to like level this up uh a layer, and reuse them, and um run them on whatever trigger schedule I want." And that's a great question. So, the question is, how do you think about liability if like, well, something malicious happens on platform? Um unfortunately, I am not a lawyer. Um and I will not be able to like like explicitly weigh in too much, other than um I would think of it a lot like, you know, running any other like platform-y kind of business, where if you integrate against an API, and like build a product on top of that, um at the end of the day, like the the the platform itself is going to have the relationship with with the user directly.

所以，这会有点像纵深防御：堆栈中的每一层都应尽最大努力，确保平台上不会发生任何糟糕的事情。对，问题是关于持久化事件流，以及大家在内部构建出来的用例。嗯，我想想有什么有趣的例子。有人在内部构建了一个竞争式卡坦岛模拟，我想，它会使用所有事件来解释每位玩家为什么会做出他们所做的选择。它使用了自定义工具，这是你将 Mac OS 机器开放给云端管理的智能体的一种方式，让它们能够采取行动，而不只是局限于托管环境之内。嗯，我也不太确定，你们这里可能有些有趣的例子。And so, it's going to be kind of like a defense-in-depth kind of thing of like making like each layer of the stack should be doing their best to make sure nothing bad happens on platform. Yeah, so the question is about the durable event stream and use cases um that the folks have have built out internally. Um so, it I'm trying to think of a a fun one. Um somebody internally built out like a uh a competitive Catan uh like I guess simulation where it uses like all the events generally just to explain like why each of the players is making the choices that they're making. It uses like custom tools, which is one of the it's like the way that you would expose your Mac OS machine to uh to cloud manage agents in order to uh like take action like outside of just the hosted environment. Um, I don't know, you you might have some fun fun ones here.

嘉宾：我觉得，理解这件事最简单的方式大概是：如果你想自己构建一个 UI，能展示所有不同的工具调用之类的东西。嗯，我觉得很多人都在这里重复造轮子；其实有一些偏前端的工具，可以帮你展示智能体的事件流，并把智能体返回的消息流式传回来。不过，能构建一个聊天界面，你知道，如今这基本算是标配了。也就是说，你可以在聊天界面里和智能体进行对话，看到工具调用，还能展开查看这些调用。也许某个工具调用会带有一些生成式 UI，然后显示一张图表。特别是对于金融领域的应用场景，你可能会说：“好，每次我交互时，只要我的股票行情观察列表工具发现了什么有意思的东西，也把图表渲染出来，这样我就能在图表上做技术分析，或者添加一些技术分析指标，让它变得非常互动。”这些事情很多都可以通过返回来的事件流实现。Guest: I think like the easiest way to think about it is if you want to build your own UI that has like shows all of the different tool calls and everything. So, I I think a lot of people are reinventing this the wheel here and there are some like front endy tools to help you expose your agents event streams and stream back generally like the messages that are coming back from agents, but being able to like build a chat interface, you know, it's kind of like um pretty table stakes these days, but a chat interface where you're interacting with a you know, a conversation with an agent and you can see the tool calls and then you can open those tool calls and maybe you're you're having a a tool call that has like some generative UI and it'll show you like the chart and then for especially for like the finance use case, you might say like, "Okay, every time I talk my my stock ticker watch list thing encounters something interesting, also render like the charts so I can do like my or like add technical analysis things to my chart and make it so that it's like really interactive and you could do a lot of those with like the event stream that's coming back."

嗯，不过希望这回答了你的问题。我觉得这是因为有很多事件，它是一套非常通用的工具，你可以用它来构建几乎任何 UI。Um, but yeah, hopefully that answers the question. I think there's a because there's like a lot of events, it's a very generic set of tools that you can go and use to build basically any UI on top of.

主持人：所以，问题是原生 Anthropic 和自托管之间有没有兼容性差异。嗯，有些功能在自托管沙盒中还没有完全支持，但流程是完全支持的。也就是说，在自托管沙盒中，开箱即用就能运行。嗯，是的，我在想具体哪些功能不受支持，但总的来说，我们会尽量让各项功能在所有环境中都能使用，无论是自托管还是其他环境。嗯，你创建会话时传入的环境只会改变一些类型。那么，问题是，在 Bug Hunter 的示例中，那里有一个多仓库依赖图，我们实际上该怎么组织？或者说，Cloud 到底是怎么知道该做什么的，对吧？Host: So, the question is if there's any compatibility difference between like native Anthropic and self-hosted. Um, there are some features that aren't fully supported on self-hosted sandboxes, but flows are like totally supported. Like will will work out of the gate um with self-hosted sandboxes. Um, yeah, I'm trying to think what which ones aren't supported, but generally speaking we try and support like features like across all environments, whether it's self-hosted or not. Um just the environment that you pass in when you create your session will change um types. So, so the question is in the bug hunter example, where there's like a multi-repo dependency graph, how do you actually or how do we actually structure like what like how does Cloud actually know, right, what what uh what to do?

嗯，事实是，这基本上取决于 Cloud。嗯，如果你授予 Cloud 访问 GitHub 仓库的权限，这些仓库最终都会挂载到 Cloud 运行所在的容器中。这样一来，Cloud 就可以自行决定怎么做。比如，如果你有一个非常棒的 Basil 构建，并且依赖树非常清晰整洁，Cloud 就可以在容器中使用任意工具来检查这些依赖。反过来，如果你用的是纯文本语言 ABC，没有非常明确的依赖关系映射，或者构建依赖关系图并非易事，那么 Cloud 可能就得逐个搜索文件来查找符号之类的。每次进行 PR 审查时，都需要重新把容器——也就是仓库——挂载到容器上，是的。Um and the the truth is that it's kind of up to Cloud. Um if you give Cloud access to the GitHub repositories, those will all end up mounted inside of the container where Cloud is operating. And so then Cloud can make the decision like if you have a really nice like Basil build and like have a really really crisp clean dependency tree, Cloud can use whatever tools it wants on the container in order to inspect uh those dependencies. Whereas if you have, you know, plain text language ABC that doesn't have like a very explicit uh dependency mapping or it's like non-trivial to uh build out that graph, then Cloud would probably have to like literally search files for symbols or something like that. For every PR review that you have, you would have to remount the container remount the uh repository on the container, yes.

这很像你通常理解 CI 任务的方式：你得先从 Git 仓库检出一些内容，然后才能对它采取操作。所以，问题是，如果你能提前构建出依赖关系图，这能帮你优化流程吗？答案当然是能。如果你提前有某种依赖关系图的表示形式，而且你觉得生成它需要很长时间，就可以把它作为文件上传到会话中。我们支持在平台上上传通用文件。然后你可以跟 Cloud 说：“嘿，Cloud，顺便说一下，你关心的完整依赖关系图就在这个文件路径下。”那么，问题是，这种多智能体拓扑结构的嵌套层级有没有限制？It's a lot like um if how you think about like uh just a CI job generally, where that you have to like run some checkout on the Git repository um and uh then you can take action on it. So, the question is if you are able to build out a dependency graph ahead of time, will that help you optimize the flow? And the answer is totally. If you if you have some representation of the dependency graph that you know ahead of time, you think would take a long time to generate, you can upload it as a file into the session. Um like we support just general file uploads as part of the platform. And then you can be like, "Hey Cloud, like by the way, your full dependency graph you care about is at like this file path." So, the question is about how many limits of nesting are there in these multi-agent topologies?

嗯，今天实际的答案是，我们只支持一层嵌套。我们不支持那种任意复杂的、超大规模扇出的拓扑结构。嗯，我们以后可能会想要支持，但得先确保所有东西都足够安全，一切都落实到位。嗯，我先试着复述一下第一个问题，你告诉我理解得对不对。基本上，你的机器上无法访问某种身份信息或数据，因为它位于 VPN 后面。那么，这些数据能通过任何内部 MCP 服务器访问，还是只能在你的机器上访问？好，明白了。因为要抽象这类情况，你可以使用我们称为 MCP 隧道的功能。它基本上是让你通过 Cloudflare 隧道，为平台上的智能体提供私有访问权限，也就是私有 MCP 访问。Um the the real answer today is it's just one layer of nesting. We don't support like arbitrarily complex like mega fan outs of uh topologies. Um we we probably at some point will want to, but we need to make sure like everything is really uh like the safety and stuff is really locked in. Um so the first one I'm going to I'm going to try and restate it and and tell me if I'm understanding it correctly. Basically like there's some some form of like identity or data access or something that you don't have access to on your machine because it sits behind a VPN and is that data accessible via any like internal MCP servers or only on your machine. Okay, got you. Because the the way that you would abstract this would be using something we have called MCP tunnels, which is basically a way for you to give private access like private MCP access to the agents on platform using Cloudflare tunnels today.

基本上，这是一种让你授予访问权限、同时又不必把任何东西暴露到开放互联网的方式。我觉得这可能最接近你想做的事，或者说，为了让这些东西能够访问那里，你需要做的事。应该会有一些……对，对，对。是的，就是这样。连接是直接从你的私有 MCP 服务器运行的地方，连到 MCP 调用发生的地方。所以，嗯，我会去了解一下这个。 第二个问题是关于 Anthropic 内部的工作方式。我们基本上非常依赖 Claude tag：Claude tag 会自主为我们做很多工作。比如这类工作负载，系统会查看 Jira 和过去 24 小时左右的所有活动，甚至会主动提议对工单进行修改之类的。And basically it's like a way for you to give access such that you don't expose anything over the open internet. And I think that's like probably the closest to what you would be trying to do or that you would need to do in order to give these things access to there would be some Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's yeah. It's It's like the connection is directly from wherever your private MCP server is running to to the place that the MCP calls happened. So yeah, I would look into that. Number the second question was on just like how how stuff works at Anthropic. We're very like Claude tag pilled basically where Claude tag does a bunch of work for us autonomously and like the these workloads where like the thing is looking at Jira and all the activity in the past 24 hours or whatever and even like proposing proactive changes to tickets and such.

我们，我们有很多这类工作都是通过某种类似 Claude tag 的东西来完成的。所以，嗯，是的，是的。Claude tag 支持We we do a lot of that work through something Claude tag shaped. So um Yeah, yeah. Claude tag supports

嘉宾：是的，Claude 标签，Claude 标签可以做到这一点。Guest: Yeah, Claude tag Claude tag can do that.

主持人：我觉得你只要每天每天早上 6 点对 Claude 说，比如“做这个”，我觉得它开箱即用就能搞定。Host: I think if you just say at Claude like every every day at 6:00 a.m. like do this. I I think it would work out of the box.

嘉宾：是的。非常感谢大家的聆听。谢谢。Guest: Yeah. Thank you all so much for your attention. Appreciate it.

主持人：谢谢各位。好了。Host: Appreciate you guys. All right.
