Anthropic

The race to own the persistent AI agent layer just got a lot more interesting. Anthropic is testing Conway, an internal platform that transforms Claude into an always-on, autonomous environment — and the company’s Chief Commercial Officer has all but confirmed they’re building a direct OpenClaw competitor. What Is Conway? Conway is Anthropic’s answer to the question their customers keep asking: why do I need a third-party tool to run Claude autonomously? ...

One week after debuting on Mac, Claude’s computer use research preview has arrived on Windows — and it’s already baked directly into two of Anthropic’s flagship tools. On April 2-3, 2026, Anthropic expanded Claude Cowork and Claude Code to support direct desktop control on Windows machines. The official @claudeai Twitter account confirmed the rollout on April 2, and Anthropic’s help center now documents the feature for both platforms. What Computer Use Actually Does Claude’s computer use capability allows the AI to operate your desktop directly — moving the cursor, clicking buttons, typing text, launching applications — as a fallback mechanism when standard integrations aren’t available. Think of it as a universal adapter: if there’s no API or plugin for a task, Claude can just do what a human user would do. ...

BREAKING — An inadvertent data leak from Anthropic has revealed the existence of an unreleased model called Claude Mythos, described internally as a “step change” in capabilities. CNN Business broke the story this morning. Security experts are already sounding the alarm. What We Know About Claude Mythos The model name surfaced through an Anthropic data leak — the specifics of which Anthropic has not fully disclosed. What’s clear from the Benzinga reporting is that: ...

Claude Code earned Anthropic significant developer mindshare — and significant revenue — by becoming the AI coding assistant of choice for software engineers who wanted something that could actually navigate a codebase. But a top Anthropic executive now publicly believes the company’s next major product will surpass it. In an interview with Bloomberg, the executive described Cowork — Anthropic’s general-purpose agentic assistant, currently in research preview — as the company’s “answer to general-purpose agentic AI” and expressed a clear expectation that it would reach a wider market than Claude Code ever did. ...

Sometimes the most revealing leaks aren’t the ones attackers engineer — they’re the ones that happen because someone forgot to add a line to .npmignore. That’s exactly what happened with Anthropic’s Claude Code v2.1.88. A developer named Chaofan Shou noticed that the npm package included a file it really, really shouldn’t have: main.js.map — a source map that, by design, contains a complete reconstruction of the original source code. By the time Anthropic patched it, GitHub mirrors had already spread. The community had 512,000 lines of TypeScript to dig through, and dig they did. ...

If you’ve been hitting Claude Code’s usage limits in 20 minutes instead of hours, you’re not imagining it and you’re not alone. The developer community has named it Cache-22: a prompt cache regression in recent Claude Code versions that’s causing Max-tier quotas to exhaust dramatically faster than expected. Anthropic has acknowledged the bug. A fix is in progress. In the meantime, here’s how to work around it. What’s Happening Prompt caching is supposed to save tokens by reusing previously-processed context instead of re-processing it from scratch every request. When it works correctly, it dramatically extends how far your token quota goes — particularly in agentic workflows with large context windows. ...

It happened again — and this time the exposure was massive. On March 31, 2026, security researcher Chaofan Shou (@shoucccc) discovered that Anthropic’s Claude Code CLI had inadvertently published its entire source code inside a 60MB source map file (cli.js.map) bundled within its npm package. Within hours, the community had mirrored the code, opened GitHub repos cataloguing the exposure, and the story had broken across cybersecurity news outlets worldwide. This is reportedly the second time in a year that Claude Code’s source has leaked through the same vector. ...

Anthropic just made a significant move to win the hearts of the open-source community: the company is giving away up to 10,000 six-month subscriptions to its top-tier Claude Max 20x plan — for free — to qualifying open-source maintainers and contributors. That’s roughly $1,200 in free AI access per developer, available through the new Claude for Open Source program. Applications are open now and close June 30, 2026. What You Get Claude Max 20x is Anthropic’s highest consumer subscription tier. It’s engineered for heavy workloads — complex multi-file coding sessions, long-context reasoning, and agentic workflows that run for extended periods. For developers who rely on Claude Code or API-heavy automation pipelines, 20x usage headroom is a meaningful upgrade from the standard plan. ...

Microsoft’s ambitious bet on multi-model AI is moving from announcement to reality. Copilot Cowork, the company’s long-running autonomous workflow system for Microsoft 365, is now available to Frontier program participants as of today — and it’s using both OpenAI’s GPT models and Anthropic’s Claude together to get work done. This is a meaningful update to the original Copilot Cowork announcement from March 9. That post described the vision. Today’s rollout makes it real for early-access enterprise users. ...

The speed gap between human security teams and AI-powered adversaries just became a real product category. At RSA 2026, Accenture and Anthropic jointly launched Cyber AI — an enterprise security operations platform that puts Claude’s reasoning engine at the center of threat detection, response, and governance. This isn’t a concept or a proof of concept. It’s a live platform built on two decades of Accenture cybersecurity delivery experience, augmented with Anthropic’s Claude as the core reasoning engine. And it comes with a specific feature that agentic AI builders should pay close attention to: Agent Shield. ...
