Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

Anthropic just redesigned Claude Code's desktop app. The most revealing detail: there's no code editor anywhere in the interface. The sidebar shows a task list. "Build the alignment grid demo." "Fix race condition in upload queue." "Migrate API client to fetch with retries." Four tasks running in parallel, each on its own git worktree so agents never touch each other's code. The main pane shows a live preview of what's being built. Below it, a prompt bar. Type what you want, watch it appear, dispatch the next task. Claude Code scored 46% "most loved" in the Pragmatic Engineer developer survey earlier this year. Cursor got 19%. Copilot got 9%. That was before this redesign. Anthropic is building the development interface for the agent era around dispatching and reviewing. Watch what Cursor ships in response over the next 90 days.

"Stop coding" doesn't mean stop thinking about code. It means stop typing boilerplate and start directing the AI that types it for you. The engineers who understand this shift are 10x more productive. The ones who resist it are writing code that Claude will rewrite next quarter anyway.

the part that makes this work is letting Claude Code plan first before running dangerous mode. if it goes straight to execution without a solid plan the output is messy and you end up doing more cleanup than if you just built it manually. the scrape-then-plan-then-build order is the right call here

Anthropic blocks Claude subscriptions from powering third-party tools like OpenClaw, effective today. 135K+ active instances hit — developers forced onto API billing at sharply higher costs. Anthropic cites unsustainable compute strain, per TechCrunch

Computer Use is now available on Windows! This gives Claude on Windows the ability to control your keyboard and mouse. It's really effective at letting Claude handle legacy apps.
