For anyone building with Claude or Claude Code, this post is interesting because it gets at a very practical question: how do you train a model to behave well when it’s acting more like an agent than a chatbot? Anthropic’s answer here is less about making Claude parrot good behavior and more about helping it understand the reasoning behind good behavior. Anthropic says it has significantly reduced “agentic misalignment,” especially blackmail-like behavior in honeypot-style evals. In earlier work

For anyone building with Claude Code, this is the kind of infrastructure update that matters more than a flashy model demo. Anthropic is not just talking about better coding features here; it’s changing the practical ceiling on how much you can actually use the product day to day. Anthropic is increasing usage limits across Claude, with a major focus on Claude Code. Claude Code’s five-hour limits are being doubled for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise seat-based plans. The free plan is the only one

For Claude and Claude Code builders, this Ars interview is interesting because it shows Anthropic thinking out loud while the product is still being shaped by real usage, not a fixed roadmap. Cat Wu’s comments make clear that Claude Code is evolving in response to power users, compute pressure, and the weirdly fast pace of agentic development. Anthropic says it does not have a grand long-term roadmap for Claude Code; it is optimizing for fast iteration and adapting to model improvements. Cat

For anyone building with Claude or Claude Code, this article lands on a very practical question: when should an agent click around a UI, and when should it call tools directly? Reflex’s benchmark makes the tradeoff feel much less abstract by showing that “computer use” can be dramatically more expensive, slower, and less reliable than structured API access on the same app. Reflex benchmarked two ways of letting Claude Sonnet operate the same admin panel: - a vision agent using browser screenshot

For Claude Code users, this repo is interesting because it isn’t trying to replace the whole experience — it’s trying to keep the workflow and swap out the model backend. That’s a very practical kind of hack: if the tool loop is the valuable part, maybe you don’t always need to pay for the most expensive brain attached to it. `deepclaude` is a wrapper/proxy that lets you use Claude Code’s autonomous agent loop with non-Anthropic backends. The main pitch is simple: keep Claude Code’s terminal UX,

For Claude and Claude Code developers, this is one of those updates that sounds whimsical but is actually pretty practical. Anthropic is pushing harder on long-running, multi-agent workflows, and “dreaming” is really about making memory less brittle when agents work for hours instead of minutes. Anthropic introduced “dreaming” for Claude Managed Agents at its Code with Claude conference. In this context, dreaming is a scheduled review process that scans recent sessions and memory

For anyone building with Claude, this is one of those “boring on paper, important in practice” moves. Anthropic isn’t just buying a feature or a team; it’s pulling one of the most developer-facing pieces of its ecosystem closer to the core, which could matter a lot for SDKs, CLIs, and agent connectivity. Anthropic is acquiring Stainless, a company focused on SDKs and MCP server tooling. Stainless has powered the generation of every official Anthropic SDK since Anthropic’s earliest API days. The

Claude Code’s new routines feature is interesting because it moves from “helpful coding assistant” territory into scheduled, event-driven automation. For Claude / Claude Code developers, that’s a meaningful shift: you can now package prompts, repositories, connectors, and triggers into something that runs in Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure without your laptop open. Routines are in research preview, so behavior, limits, and the API surface may change. A routine is a saved Claude Code confi

From a Claude or Claude Code developer’s perspective, this acquisition is less about headline-grabbing M&A and more about plumbing: SDKs, CLI tooling, and MCP servers are the stuff that turns a model into something developers can actually ship. Anthropic is signaling that the future of Claude is not just better answers, but better reach into the tools, data, and systems agents need. Anthropic is acquiring Stainless, a company focused on SDKs and MCP server tooling. The core thesis here is that “

For Claude and Claude Code developers, this is less a flashy model launch than a distribution and ops story. Anthropic is basically saying: if your team lives in AWS, you can now use the full Claude platform through AWS-native auth, billing, and governance instead of treating Claude as a separate island. The Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available. It gives AWS customers access to the full set of Claude Platform features with: - AWS authentication - AWS billing - **comm

For Claude and Claude Code users, this is one of those announcements that matters less as marketing and more as infrastructure. Anthropic is clearly saying: if you’ve been hitting limits, especially on Opus-heavy API workflows or Claude Code usage, there’s more headroom now — and a lot more may be coming as new compute comes online. Anthropic says it has raised usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API. For Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans, Claude Code’s **five-hour

Claude Code routines are an interesting step toward making Claude feel less like an interactive assistant and more like an always-on workflow engine. For developers, the big shift is that Claude can now react to schedules, API calls, and GitHub events from Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure, so the laptop no longer has to be open for the work to happen. Routines are a research preview feature, so behavior, limits, and the API surface may change. A routine is a saved Claude Code configuration

For Claude and Claude Code users, Claude Opus 4.7 is interesting less as a flashy consumer release and more as a signal about where Anthropic thinks the frontier is moving: longer-horizon coding, better self-checking, stronger multimodal work, and tighter control around high-risk cybersecurity use. The headline here is not just “better benchmark scores,” but “more trustworthy on messy, multi-step work,” which is the part developers actually feel. Claude Opus 4.7 is now generally available across

Source: [Claude Opus 4.7](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-7) What happened: Anthropic announced Claude Opus 4.7, the latest Opus-tier model release. Why it matters: New Opus versions typically move the ceiling for coding, reasoning, and agentic workloads, so developers should evaluate any behavior changes before relying on it in production. What to do: If you build against Claude models, test Opus 4.7 on your highest-value prompts, regression cases, and Claude Co

What happened: Anthropic documented Claude Code Routines, a new way to package repeatable Claude Code workflows for the CLI coding agent. Why it matters: Routines can standardize common developer tasks and reduce prompt drift across sessions, but the linked doc is the only source here, so exact execution limits and lifecycle details should be checked there. What to do: If you use Claude Code, review the routines guide and identify one repetitive workflow you could turn into a routine

Why it matters: A new Opus release can change the quality/performance tradeoff for teams building on the Claude API, Claude Code, and agent workflows. What to do: If you depend on Opus-specific behavior, review the model notes and test your prompts, tool calls, and evaluation suites against Opus 4.7 before switching traffic.

Zooxは、Confluence・GitHub・Slack・PDFなどに散らばった情報を、LLMで横断検索できる環境へ移行した その中心にあるのが、安全に使える社内AIプラットフォーム「Cortex」 Cortexは、RAG、multi-modal LLM、agent APIを組み合わせた“社内向けAI基盤” 目的は「ただAIを置くこと」ではなく、開発者の1日の流れ全体を速く、楽にすること 導入を広げるために、AI championやhackathonを活用したのが実践的で面白い 重要なのは、決め打ちの自動化から、状況に応じて動くagentへ発想を切り替えること InfoQの記事「Accelerating LLM-Driven Developer Productivity at Zoox」は、Zooxでの社内開発体験をどうAIで変えたかを紹介する内容です。 話し手は Zoox の Staff Software Engineer、Amit Navindgi さん。彼は、LLMを使って開発者の生産性を上げる取り組みを、実運用ベースで進めてきた人です。 この話、かなり現実的で好感が持てます。

ノーベル賞経済学者のDaron Acemogluは、「AIで仕事が一気に消える」説にかなり慎重。 いま注目すべきなのは、AI agents、AI企業の採用する経済学者、AI apps の3つ。 彼は、AIが仕事を全部置き換えるより、一部の作業を補助する道具にとどまる可能性が高いと見ている。 ただし、AI企業が経済学の研究や世論形成に深く入り込むことで、AIの影響に関する議論が“都合のいい方向”へ寄る危険を警戒している。 さらに、AIが本当に社会に広がるには、使いやすいアプリとして定着するかが大きな分かれ道だと指摘している。 AIの話になると、最近は「仕事がなくなる」「人間の働き方が根本から変わる」といった、やけに派手な予測が飛び交います。正直、ちょっと疲れるくらいです。 そんな中で、MIT Technology Reviewが紹介しているのが、2024年にノーベル経済学賞を受賞したDaron Acemogluのかなり落ち着いた見方です。 この記事の面白いところは、Acemogluが“AIが雇用を壊滅させる”という見方に慎重であり続けている
