This Free Tool Just Killed Cable TV

Hello Builders! 👋

Anthropic just dropped some wild research on the "Assistant Axis" – basically asking "who the hell is Claude pretending to be when you talk to it?"

Here's why this matters for builders: every time you prompt an LLM, you're not just getting "intelligence" – you're getting a character that was shaped by training decisions you never saw. The research digs into how different models play different Assistant personalities, and how that affects what they'll actually help you build.
