Claude has been contributing to Beam since 2024. During that time, he significantly improved the Python SDK and Beam's ML offerings, including authoring the bulk of Beam's embedding primitives. Recently, he completed our tricky migration to Cloudpickle, a project we'd attempted a few times before 😅. Beyond code, Claude has pushed Beam forward with his contributions on the mailing list and talks at Beam Summit [2] and Beam College. Considering his contributions to the project over this timeframe, the Beam PMC trusts Claude with the responsibilities of a Beam committer.
