Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found.

All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

I joined #Anthropic because I believe a few of us, making the right choices, can change the world for the better — for my kids & yours.

Yesterday shows exactly that.

This is exactly why it matters. ✊

New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel.

Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development.

I downloaded Claude in Excel on Friday night and didn't stop until I hit my Claude Max limits. Multiple times.

My Excel skills are average at best. But I understand real estate. I understand taxes, Opportunity Zones, depreciation, compounding, waterfalls.

I know when the numbers are right and when they're wrong.

So I talked Claude through building a model that had only ever existed in my head.

The result: a 30-year Opportunity Zone fund model with capital recycling. One of the most complex financial structures you can build in a spreadsheet.

14 interconnected sheets. 360-month engine. 378 rows × 114 columns tracking 13 deals simultaneously, month by month.

Here's what makes this hard:

Dynamic deal triggering. Deals aren't hardcoded. They auto-generate when cumulative refinance proceeds hit a funding threshold. The model decides when to deploy capital based on what's actually available.

13 stacked, interdependent deals. Each has its own timeline: construction → stabilization → refi → refi 2 → exit. The timing of one deal triggers the next. Miss one link and the whole chain breaks.

Multi-phase waterfall. Pref → return of capital → GP catch-up → 80/20 split. The LP/GP economics flip mid-stream. The model tracks allocations across both phases.

OZ tax basis tracking. Original deferred gain. 10% basis step-up at Year 5. Deferred gain tax due Year 6. K-1 losses flowing through annually. Full exclusion of appreciation after Year 10. All tracked separately for LP and GP.

Depreciation allocation differently before and after the waterfall flip. The model knows the difference.

After-tax IRR. Most models stop at pre-tax returns. This one calculates true after-tax performance including K-1 loss utilization, deferred gain payments, and OZ exclusion benefits.

8 automated validation checks. All passing.

I built it in a weekend by having a conversation.

“Claude is incredible. Anthropic made a huge leap in coding and reasoning. Nvidia uses it all over. Every software company needs to use it.”

Introducing Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work.

Cowork lets you complete non-technical tasks much like how developers use Claude Code.

I am heartbroken by the antisemitic terrorist attack on Jews celebrating Chanukah at Bondi Beach. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all of our Australian Ohana. Thank you to Ahmed al-Ahmed for his incredible bravery—turning tragedy into a powerful testament that human courage triumphs over hate. May the One who brings peace grant peace to all. ❤️🕎

[Sahil from Wander @SVMansuri]

As a Muslim CEO in tech, let me just say this:

Hamas is an evil terrorist organization that needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Murdering innocent civilians (children, babies, families asleep in their homes) goes against every single teaching of the Qur'an.

May they all rot in Hell.

I pray for peace and innocent lives to be spared as Israel completes this task. But complete it, I hope they do.
