We’re expanding the research preview for Claude Code on the web.
Claude Code users on Team and Enterprise plans can now run coding tasks from their browser and the Claude iOS app.
Claude Code's native installer is now generally available.
It's simpler, more stable, and doesn't require Node.js. We recommend this as the default installation method for all Claude Code users going forward.
Memory is now available for Max users and rolling out to Pro over the next two weeks.
With project-scoped memory, each project maintains its own focused context.
Claude Desktop is now generally available.
New on Mac: Capture screenshots, click windows to share context, and press Caps Lock to talk to Claude aloud.
With Claude Code on the web, assign multiple tasks that run in parallel while you monitor and steer from your browser or iOS app.
Ideal for tackling bug backlogs, routine fixes, and parallel development work.
Enable Skills and build your own in Settings > Capabilities > Skills.
Available now for all paid plans.

Skills work across http://Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the API.
Claude identifies relevant Skills and applies them automatically.
They can also stack together for complex workflows.
Devs can use Claude Haiku 4.5 on our API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI.
It’s a drop-in replacement for both Haiku 3.5 and Sonnet 4.

Sonnet 4.5 remains the best coding model in the world. Haiku 4.5 gives you near-frontier performance with greater cost-efficiency.
Use them together: Sonnet can build multi-step plans, then orchestrate a team of Haikus to complete subtasks in parallel.
Haiku 4.5 surpasses Sonnet 4 on computer use tasks, making Claude for Chrome even faster.
In Claude Code, it makes multi-agent projects and rapid prototyping markedly more responsive.
Introducing Claude Haiku 4.5: our latest small model.
Five months ago, Claude Sonnet 4 was state-of-the-art. Today, Haiku 4.5 matches its coding performance at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed.
Today we’re introducing Claude Code Plugins in public beta.
Plugins allow you to install and share curated collections of slash commands, agents, MCP servers, and hooks directly within Claude Code.
Join us tomorrow, October 4, from 9am–12pm at Air Mail newsstand in West Village, NYC.
Keep thinking.
(We're out of thinking caps today, but come back tomorrow for more caps and free coffee—available while supplies last.)
Claude is now available in Slack.
Chat with Claude through DMs, tag @.Claude in threads, or use the AI assistant panel—with access to web search, document analysis, and your connected tools.
Context management extends what agents can do:
- Context editing clears stale context when approaching token limits
- The memory tool stores information outside the context window
Agents can now handle longer, more complex tasks.
