Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
It’s Codex Thursday, and yes, we have updates for you.
First up: Appshots, a new way to bring the context of what you’re working on into Codex.
On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread. Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen.
Appshots are available across plans on Mac, with enterprise access coming soon.
The DESIGN.md upgrade is officially live in Stitch! 🚀
Yesterday we open-sourced the spec, and today we are giving you more tools to use it:
📄 Start with DESIGN.md: Attach a DESIGN.md right at the start of a project. Don't have one? Our new wizard will help you extract one from your code base or the web.
🔄 DESIGN.md to Design System: Upload a DESIGN.md file to generate a Design System on the canvas.
🧩 Token Support: Design Systems now support design tokens from DESIGN.md! Add them to your file and Stitch will seamlessly incorporate them.
🗑️ Clean Up: (You asked, we listened) You can now easily delete a design system.
We’re excited to build the open design standard together. 👇
Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude.
Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.
