Claude Code now compresses the whole conversation on every turn, so replies start noticeably sooner on long sessions, and cloud sessions boot while you're still typing.

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.

Claude Code Desktop now knows its own capabilities, like spinning off subsessions. The team calls it almost a v2.

Claude Code Desktop is now so much aware of its own capabilities and how it can work with you, like spinning off subsessions. I think of this almost like a v2, so many small details went into make it great. https://t.co/dpgj4fd8sQ

Anthropic went from ~2,500 to 30,000+ merged changes a day as agents took over, and had to build in-house source control because human-scale dev infra became the bottleneck.

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.

OSC7501 (deterministic agent status for terminals) is spreading: Kitty, Grok Build and Codex support it, so tools can drop status heuristics.

OSC7501 adoption updates: Kitty implements and displays in the tab title. Grok Build shipped support and Codex merged. In less than a week I think we're nearly at a place where the entire industry can drop their heuristics and get deterministic status updates.
