Claude Code

A value the app doesn't recognize, say 'Standard' with a capital S, reads as 'off'. That takes Chat and Cowork both away.

AWS shipped spending limits on September 16, but so far only to a limited number of customers. Google Cloud got there back in July.

The built-in /diff now ships as a mod — switch it off in /plugin, or replace it with your own. Anthropic wants to pull more features out the same way until only a small core remains.

Computer use is gone on macOS 13 and earlier, because the screenshots could never be taken there. Behind a gateway, the default context window now sits at one million tokens instead of 200,000.

Sensitive operations on Anthropic's side need two-person approval, usage exports carry metering data only, and conversation history stays on the agency-managed device.

Messages sent between 14:00 and 14:59 UTC may not have been saved, Anthropic says.

Every submission is validated and safety-scanned the moment you send it. When the plugin goes live is then up to you.

New Code tab sessions now start in Auto mode where the model supports it, unless 'autoModeEnabled' is explicitly set to false.

Admins get two new levers on top: an allowlist for plugin MCP servers and a domain policy for the built-in browser.

Each thread is its own cloud session on its own branch. When two of them touch the same code, it reaches you as an ordinary merge conflict.

Claude Design moves into conversations too, and Enterprise organizations get at least 30 days of warning before anything changes for them.

A roastery in Las Vegas runs six cafés from one view and reports 22% in-store margins. The release ships with 150 trained partners and 750 workshops.

Before the first command goes through, you set up a Google Cloud project. And pay $20 a month, in the US only.

Three quick fixes lasted 70 days, 29 days and less than a day. The fourth attempt was a full rebuild, and one engineer shipped it in three weeks.

The model catalog now arrives signed from downloads.claude.ai, refreshed every five to fifteen minutes. And admins get a switch that turns scheduled tasks off entirely.

Bloated skill descriptions, mandatory reading before every edit, strict approval rules: what kept older models on track now slows Astra down. Almost all of it maps onto Claude Code.

The person behind Claude Code listed what Anthropic runs to keep its own Claude-written code safe. That list is longer than what most teams have for human code.

A phone video was too big to publish. Rather than uploading it somewhere, Willison asked Claude Fable 5.1 for a browser tool that runs FFmpeg via WebAssembly — five presets, and the command line for each one on screen.

A principal product manager at Spotify built a Claude Code plugin that delegates large file reads and boilerplate code to a cheap model. The idea: let the frontier model think, not read. The post has been sitting near the top of Hacker News since Friday night.

On Fable 5.1's launch day, Claude Code follows right along: 2.1.257 makes the new model the default, finally brings configurable time formats and a new auto-mode rule. 2.1.258 clears up a nasty startup failure on macOS Monterey.
