Summary
Replit’s partnership with Anthropic and Google Cloud has enabled over 100,000 applications on Google Cloud Run, integrating Anthropic’s Claude AI model with Google’s Vertex AI platform to create a system that allows anyone to create custom software.
This could help address the global developer shortage, which is expected to reach 4 million by 2025, by allowing non-technical employees to create their own solutions rather than waiting for scarce developer resources.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet has improved performance on SWE-bench Verified from 33% to 49%, enabling users to create personal productivity tools and enterprise applications.
Replit’s AI-powered approach could determine who participates in the expanding global custom software development market, expected to reach $700bn by 2028.
Early results show companies building employee time-off trackers and help-desk systems in days rather than months, and independent developers creating and launching apps using just their phones.
