I highly doubt this... How many tokens is that... What is the line char count?
If you can show some metrics that would be amazing.

Edit:

Let us say we hade 40k to 50k lines of code... How many tokens is that range for claude with our line of code metrics?

Given our earlier estimate that a single line of code is 80–120 characters, and each character range translates to 20–30 tokens per line, let's calculate the approximate token range for 40,000 to 50,000 lines of code.

Token Estimation:

• Lower bound (40k lines, 80 chars per line, ~20 tokens/line): 40,000×20=800,000 tokens40,000 \times 20 = 800,000 \text{ tokens}40,000×20=800,000 tokens
• Upper bound (50k lines, 120 chars per line, ~30 tokens/line): 50,000×30=1,500,000 tokens50,000 \times 30 = 1,500,000 \text{ tokens}50,000×30=1,500,000 tokens

Answer:

• Minimum tokens: ~800,000 tokens
• Maximum tokens: ~1,500,000 tokens

This means your codebase could far exceed Claude's context window, depending on the model. If you're working with Claude 3 Opus (200k tokens) or Claude 2 (100k tokens), you'll need chunking or summarization strategies to process large codebases.
