The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: https://t.co/PVvpQCbQtK

We keep improving performance across Claude, and you may have noticed it starts responding sooner!
Claude Code now gzips the conversation it sends on every turn, so it reaches the model faster. Cloud sessions also start up as soon as you start typing.
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: https://t.co/wzNkwHs7IN
Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and those files also open inside Claude.
In Google Workspace, Claude sits in a sidebar next to your file, reads what you have open, and edits it in place. You can approve each edit before it lands.
You can now mod Claude Code:
- Change how it behaves
- Customize the UI
- Swap in your own features
Write one with a few lines of TypeScript, or have Claude build it for you. Mods ship inside plugins, so you install them with /plugin in the CLI or desktop app.
A few examples:
Computer use in the Claude Code desktop app now runs in the background.
Claude works in the apps you've allowed it to while you keep working. It's already on if you've used computer use before, or turn it on in Settings > General.
In beta on Pro and Max, macOS only.
a skill people at Anthropic have been using a lot recently: ELI5
/eli5 <what you want explained>
"explain like I'm someone who knows nothing about this topic, using a HTML artifact with big pictures and few words"
Your Claude in Chrome sessions now carry over to desktop, web, and mobile. Conversations are saved, and your skills and connectors work in the browser.
Available on Max and Team today, rolling out to Pro in the coming weeks.
The Claude Security plugin for Claude Code is now available in beta.
Scan your changes for vulnerabilities before you commit, or run a full scan across your codebase, all from your terminal on the Claude inference you already run.
Claude Code on desktop now works with the iOS simulator.
Build and run your iOS app, and the simulator opens in a panel right next to your conversation. Available today in public beta.
Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits.
Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit.
Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.
Claude Code artifacts can now call MCP connectors, letting you build dashboards and apps that can fetch information and take actions for each viewer on demand.
Available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Not available on publicly-shared artifacts.
