Chrome just launched DevTools for agents 1.0, connecting AI coding assistants directly to live browser inspection and debugging. Agents can now run Lighthouse audits, throttle networks, capture heap snapshots, and take over authenticated tabs via MCP or CLI. It basically stops AI coders from flying blind, letting them verify and fix front-end code at runtime.
Developer Neilson just open-sourced a 3D generation toolkit built specifically for Anthropic's Claude Code. It takes a single reference image and automatically generates complete 3D environments—including meshes, physics simulations, lighting setups, and audio. Basically, developers using Claude Code can now spin up interactive 3D worlds without manual asset modeling.
PwC and Anthropic just deepened their alliance to roll out Claude Code and Claude Cowork across hundreds of thousands of professionals worldwide. The accounting giant is training and certifying 30,000 U.S. staff and launching a Claude-powered finance practice. Early production deployments already shrank insurance underwriting cycles from ten weeks to ten days.
Anthropic just increased weekly usage limits for its Claude Code assistant by 50% through July 13. The promotional bump is already live for all Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise subscribers with no setup needed, giving developers substantially more runway for coding workflows.
Anthropic just doubled rate limits for Claude Code and shipped four major upgrades to Claude Managed Agents at its developer conference. The platform now supports parallel multi-agent workflows, automated memory curation called Dreaming, and a built-in rubric grader that boosted success on hard tasks by 10 points.
Anthropic launched Agent View in Claude Code, letting developers manage multiple parallel agents straight from a single CLI view. You can now background tasks with /bg, inspect progress across running jobs, and answer decisions inline without drowning in terminal tabs. It is live in Research Preview for Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, and API users.
Anthropic just struck a deal with SpaceX to take over all capacity at the Colossus 1 data center, securing over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs. The massive compute boost allows Anthropic to instantly double Claude Code's rate limits for paid plans, eliminate peak-hour restrictions, and raise Claude Opus API caps, while also exploring future orbital AI compute.
Open-source tool book-to-skill compiles technical books and doc folders into structured skills that agents load chapter-by-chapter on demand. It burns 24× to 51× fewer tokens than dumping full PDFs into the context window, and works with Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Codex out of the box.
Anthropic just integrated its claude-api skill into CodeRabbit, JetBrains, Resolve AI, and Warp. Originally launched in Claude Code, the tool helps developers automatically handle prompt caching, update agent patterns, and migrate code to new models like Claude Opus 4.7 directly within their IDEs. The skill is also open source on GitHub.
Anthropic just partnered with NEC Corporation to roll out Claude to roughly 30,000 employees worldwide, marking NEC as Anthropic's first Japan-based global partner. NEC is embedding Claude—including Opus 4.7 and Claude Code—into its BluStellar platform to build secure, domain-specific AI tools for Japanese finance, manufacturing, and local government. Why it matters: Anthropic is deepening its enterprise footprint in Asia, turning a legacy tech giant into an AI-native engineering powerhouse.
Anthropic just published a postmortem tracing recent Claude Code performance drops to three distinct issues: a downgraded default reasoning effort, a caching bug that wiped prior thinking, and a verbosity-limiting prompt that hurt coding quality. All three issues have been fixed as of April 20, and Anthropic is resetting usage limits for all subscribers.
HeyGen just open-sourced HyperFrames, an agent-native framework that converts HTML into MP4 videos, built entirely inside Claude Code. It allows AI agents to programmatically generate video workflows, and HeyGen even proved the concept by producing its own launch video inside Claude Code.
Browser Use just open-sourced video-use, allowing coding agents like Claude Code to cut videos directly. Instead of burning millions of tokens on video frames, it feeds the LLM word-level audio transcripts and on-demand timeline snapshots to trim dead air, strip filler words, and burn subtitles.
Anthropic just introduced Claude Design, an Anthropic Labs product powered by the new Claude Opus 4.7 model. It turns text prompts into interactive prototypes, presentations, and landing pages that users can tweak with custom sliders and export directly to Claude Code. The tool is rolling out in research preview to paid Claude subscribers.
Anthropic just overhauled the Claude Code desktop app to let developers orchestrate multiple agents at once. It adds a multi-session sidebar across repos, an integrated terminal and in-app file editor, drag-and-drop workspace panes, and Mac SSH support. Available now for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
Anthropic just introduced Routines in Claude Code in research preview, turning repetitive dev tasks into cloud-hosted automations. You can bundle a prompt, repo, and connectors to run on a schedule, via API endpoints, or triggered by GitHub webhook events. It executes entirely on Claude Code's web infrastructure, with daily routine limits rolling out to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.
Anthropic just made Claude Cowork generally available across all paid plans, adding serious enterprise governance features. Admins get role-based access via SCIM, team spend limits, and deep OpenTelemetry audit logging, alongside a new Zoom MCP connector that pulls meeting transcripts and action items directly into Cowork workflows.
Anthropic just dropped a practical guide on subagents in Claude Code to curb context window bloat during long coding sessions. Instead of cramming dozens of files into one thread, subagents act like browser tabs that explore codebases or fix bugs in parallel, returning only clean summaries. You can invoke them in chat, pop them into the background with Ctrl+B, or define reusable specialists via markdown files.
Anthropic just published architectural guidance detailing three agent harness patterns that balance intelligence, latency, and cost. The company advises leaning on general tools Claude already masters like bash, stripping away rigid harness orchestration to let Claude manage its own context, and placing static instructions first to maximize prompt cache hits.
Anthropic just accidentally took down around 8,100 GitHub repositories while trying to scrub leaked source code for its popular Claude Code tool off the web. A recent release inadvertently exposed the codebase, sending enthusiasts scrambling to dissect how Anthropic prompts its underlying models. Anthropic blamed an overbroad fork network takedown and has since retracted most notices.
