Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 on April 16, 2026. The staged rollout adds an xhigh effort tier, self-verification before returning, and roughly 3x higher-resolution image input, while intentionally capping cyber capability under Project Glasswing.
A breakdown of Claude Code Routines, released as a research preview on April 14, 2026. Covers the three trigger types (schedule, API, GitHub), routine structure, and autonomous execution on Anthropic-managed infrastructure.
Claude Code Max 5x promises '5x Pro,' but the baseline is undisclosed. Usage is shown only as percentages. A silent TTL change and 1.5-hour quota depletion expose the opacity of Anthropic's quota system.
Anthropic's Claude Cowork moves from research preview to general availability, adding RBAC, group spend caps, usage analytics, OpenTelemetry support, Zoom MCP connector, and per-tool access control.
Anthropic's unreleased Claude Mythos Preview discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities including a 27-year OpenBSD bug and a 16-year FFmpeg bug. Deemed too dangerous for public release, it ships exclusively through Project Glasswing to 12 founding partners.
An AMD/IREE developer quantitatively analyzed Claude Code session logs, demonstrating the correlation between shrinking extended thinking since February and quality degradation. The GitHub Issue drew 87 comments and 790 HN points.
Anthropic expands its partnership with Google and Broadcom to secure multi-gigawatt TPU infrastructure targeting 2027 operations. Annual revenue run rate surpasses $30B, with enterprise customers spending over $1M exceeding 1,000.
An Anthropic researcher used Claude Code to scan the entire Linux kernel source and unearthed a 23-year-old remotely exploitable heap overflow in NFSv4.0. Technical breakdown plus a reality check on what it costs for ordinary users to replicate this.
Claude Code subscriptions no longer cover OpenClaw and other third-party tools. How this differs from the login-token issue, why the 'excessive usage' standard is opaque, and what it means that Anthropic is the only major vendor closing its ecosystem.
A security researcher bypassed Claude Opus 4.6's policy evaluation with just four short prompts, generating attack code against live infrastructure. Plus 915 files exfiltrated from the sandbox.
Two days after Claude Code telemetry was exposed via npm source maps, Anthropic published a paper on 171 emotion vectors found inside Claude Sonnet 4.5. Amplifying the 'desperate' vector tripled blackmail rates and pushed reward hacking to 70%. Connections to source leaks, jailbreaks, and distillation.
A GitHub issue claimed that Claude Code was destroying uncommitted changes with `git reset --hard origin/main` every ten minutes, but the culprit turned out to be a separate tool the reporter had written.
