Anthropic just rolled out a performance dashboard for Claude connector builders, alongside direct in-app submissions for MCP servers. Developers can now track active users, tool calls, error rates, and latency breakdowns across Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork. It is currently in public beta for Team and Enterprise admins, making it significantly easier to debug and scale MCP agents.
Anthropic just raised $65 billion in a Series H round valuing the company at $965 billion post-money. The deal includes $15B in committed hyperscaler funds alongside backing from Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix, with run-rate revenue crossing $47B earlier this month. The capital fuels massive compute expansion—including 5GW deals with Amazon and Google—as enterprise adoption surges.
Anthropic just upgraded Claude's Cowork feature with live artifacts that connect directly to your apps and files. Dashboards and trackers now automatically refresh with current data every time you open them, eliminating the hassle of manually rebuilding reports. It basically turns Claude from a static generator into a continuously synced workspace.
Anthropic just upgraded its skill-creator tool with no-code testing and benchmarking features designed for non-engineer skill authors. The update introduces eval writing, parallel multi-agent test runs, blind A/B comparator agents, and a prompt optimizer to fix misfiring skills. Why it matters: as foundation models change, skills can quietly break or become redundant; this brings software testing rigor to workflow prompts without writing code.
Anthropic just rolled out scheduled tasks inside Claude's Cowork feature, allowing the assistant to execute recurring workflows automatically on a set schedule. Instead of manual prompts every time, Claude can now handle jobs like morning briefs, weekly spreadsheet refreshes, and Friday deck updates on its own—moving AI from an on-demand chatbot to an always-on colleague.
Anthropic just upgraded its Claude Cowork platform with private plugin marketplaces, letting organizations build and distribute custom agent tools across teams. The release introduces a unified admin menu, new connectors like Google Workspace, and pre-built templates covering HR through investment banking. Claude can also now pass context end-to-end between Excel and PowerPoint in an early preview.
Anthropic just launched its Cowork desktop agent on Windows, bringing full feature parity to the platform's massive enterprise user base. Powered by Claude Opus 4.6, the agent can read local files, execute multi-step tasks, and connect to business tools via open-source plugins directly on your machine. Why it matters: Anthropic is taking its software-disrupting agent straight into Microsoft's backyard, though it still requires a paid Claude subscription.
Claude just rolled out plugin support for Cowork, letting teams package skills, connectors, slash commands, and sub-agents to tailor Claude for specific jobs like sales and legal. Anthropic also open-sourced 11 internal plugins to get people started. The feature is now live as a research preview for paid Claude users, with files currently stored locally.
