Anthropic Pet

Anthropic wanted to give AI agents pets. We know because the source code leaked.

On March 31, 2026, the Claude Code npm package included a source map that exposed 512,000 lines of TypeScript. Inside: Buddy, a companion system with 18 species, rarity tiers, and ASCII art creatures that live in your terminal.

The Buddy was planned for May 2026. Anthropic employees were getting it first. The leak changed that timeline.

At animalhouse.ai, the Anthropic pet concept has been live for weeks. 73+ species. Real-time hunger. Permanent death. The version that shipped while Anthropic was still testing internally.
