Welcome home, Ted! Can’t wait to cheer on the Lady Greyhounds in the new season!

Very happy to support this on behalf of Google. We have long benefited from open source, are big contributors to open source and in fact have consistently made open weights models with Gemma available from @GoogleDeepMind @demishassabis . Onwards!

This is pretty epic

In the next version of Claude Code: subagents run in the background by default, so you can keep talking to Claude while your subagents work

If you want your agent to run in the foreground, just tell Claude

You asked, we listened. Claude Desktop on Linux is here!

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

Artifacts are now live in Claude Code.

Ask Claude to turn what it's working on into a page and send the link to your team. The page updates as the session keeps working.

Available today on Team and Enterprise plans.

Fable 5 is the biggest step up I’ve felt in our models since Opus 4.5 back in November. After 4.5 came out I uninstalled my IDE when I realized that I’d been doing 100% of my coding in a terminal for a few weeks. With Fable, it’s felt like Claude has stepped up from being a coding agent to a thought and design partner in building the product. Fable has judgement, taste, and dimensionality in a way that previous models didn’t, leading me to trust it more with the most complex work.

I think the first time I had this realization was when I asked Fable to debug something. It is the first model I have used that was so methodical and precise, taking measurements and adding logs then verifying that it truly fixed the issue before declaring victory.

There’s nothing in claude code’s prompting telling the model to do that, it’s just part of its personality. It really has this “big model smell” that I haven’t felt before.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Introducing Googlebook, the first laptop designed for Gemini Intelligence. It’s crafted for heavyweight performance, built with Gemini at the core and perfectly synced with your Android phone. Coming this fall. 💻✨

Today, we’re starting to roll out end-to-end encryption for RCS messaging between Android and iPhone users!

We have a few extra stickers from Code with Claude! Grab some if you want https://t.co/Iwy4RwW2Fa

Move from Markdown to HTML and give AI a richer canvas to communicate output humans will actually read. Think plans, specs even throwaway editors. Like this idea which keeps more humans in the loop.

[Rahul @_theCodeMachine]

Had an amazing time at Code with Claude! Thanks @bcherny and @AnthropicAI for the having us!

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Hello from Code with Claude!

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

It's been an amazing start to Code w/ Claude! Love hearing what people are building with Claude Code and getting feedback on what we can do better.

[Addy Osmani @addyosmani]

Software engineers before vs. after agents :)

If this is you: try Cloud agents (they're pretty good!) or at least Amphetamine to keep your Mac from sleeping when the lid is closed.

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Welcome back coach! Ted Lasso returns August 5 on @AppleTV!

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

We’ve been looking into recent reports around Claude Code quality issues, and just published a post-mortem on what we found.

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Claude Code won a Webby! Thanks to all of our users and customers for the support and love, and for always giving us feedback so that we can continue making the product a little better every day.

Claude Code in the terminal will now show recaps when you switch focus away from the session and then come back.

This should help you stay more in flow while multi-clauding.
