- It’s been a big week for Claude Code. We launched 8 exciting new features to help devs build faster and smarter. Here's a roundup of everything we released:
- Since we originally built Claude Code as an internal tool, we've heard a ton of questions about how our teams use it at Anthropic. Here’s an inside look on how our teams—from product engineering, to growth marketing, to legal—use Claude Code:
- Claude Code can now handle long-running tasks in the background. Start your dev server, run tests, or build your project without blocking your workflow
00:00 - We're so excited to launch Claude Code on the web and iOS app today! This has become a daily driver for many of us on the Claude Code team. Here are a few of our favorite ways to use it:Introducing Claude Code on the web. You can now delegate coding tasks to Claude without opening your terminal.
00:00 - New in Claude Code: Plan mode. Review implementation plans before making changes. Perfect for complex changes where you want to nail the approach before diving in.
00:00 - New Claude Code features are here: Microcompact: Clear old tool calls to extend session length Subagents: @-mention support + model selection for agents PDF support: Read PDFs directly from your file system
- Claude Code can now work across multiple directories in a single session. Type `/add-dir <path>` to add working directories.
00:00 - We've just shipped a new feature in Claude Code: extended thinking. You can simply ask Claude to “think”, “think more”, or “think harder” and it’ll show its extended thinking process. This is all powered by our hybrid reasoning model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
- We're giving Pro and Max users free usage credits for Claude Code on the web. Since launching, your feedback has been invaluable for improving Claude Code. We’re temporarily adding free usage so you can more flexibly experiment with the product.
00:00 - Haiku 4.5 is a workhorse that makes the coding experience in Claude Code feel really fast. While Sonnet 4.5 remains the default, Haiku 4.5 now powers the Explore subagent which can rapidly gather context on your codebase to build apps even faster.
00:00 - Claude Code has a new /model option: Opus for plan mode. This setting uses Claude Opus 4.1 for plan mode and Claude Sonnet 4 for all other work—getting the best of both models while maximizing your usage.
- Claude Code now lets you create teams of custom agents. We'd love to hear what you build.Claude Code is getting a brand new feature: custom subagents. Type `/agents` to get started.
00:00 - Claude Code now integrates more deeply with VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Claude Code can see your open files, LSP diagnostics, and any text you highlight. When Claude Code proposes changes, it'll show you the edits in the editor, allowing you to work seamlessly in your favorite
