Anthropic redesigns Claude Code desktop with parallel sessions
Anthropic rolled out a desktop redesign for its coding assistant Claude Code that introduces a sidebar for parallel session management, an integrated terminal and file editor, faster diff viewing, HTML/PDF previews, and drag-and-drop layout customization. The update also adds support for CLI plugins in the desktop app and makes a new Routines feature available: configurable, schedulable autonomous tasks that can run via schedule, API call, or event on Anthropic’s web infrastructure. The redesigned desktop experience and Routines are available to paid Claude Code subscribers (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) and via the Claude API, and the Web-based Claude Code also supports Routines without requiring users’ devices to be active.
Anthropic’s Claude Code updates improve developer productivity and enable scheduled autonomous workflows via Routines; useful for teams building agentic automations that could later influence MarTech/AdTech tooling, but the change is mainly product-level rather than industry-shifting.

Claude Code on the Web Arrives
Anthropic has launched Claude Code on the Web in beta, enabling users to delegate coding tasks directly from a browser. The feature runs multiple tasks in parallel on Anthropic‑managed cloud infrastructure and can connect to Github repositories, letting developers offload debugging, refactoring, and documentation work without opening a terminal. Claude’s coding family, including Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5, is highlighted, with Haiku 4.5 described as faster and cheaper while matching or exceeding Sonnet 4.5 on software‑engineering benchmarks. The new web‑based Claude Code is offered as a beta/preview for Pro and Max users, with isolated sessions and real‑time tracking; access is controlled via a secure proxy service that only connects to authorized repositories. The article notes Haiku 4.5’s speed advantages and potential competition with GPT‑5 variants.
Anthropic Links Claude Design and Claude Code
Anthropic disabled its Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 models after reports that safety restrictions may have been bypassed and following a reported intervention by the US government. Wired and Reuters report that the US administration raised concerns about Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, which had expanded access to Mythos to roughly 150 companies in more than 15 countries, including South Korea’s SK Telecom, Samsung and SK Hynix. US officials allegedly asked Anthropic to revoke SK Telecom’s access because of perceived ties to China; SK Telecom disputes significant China ties and has previously invested in Anthropic (reported $100M in 2023). Anthropic, the US government and SK Telecom have not publicly commented on the reports. The episode highlights export‑control and national‑security scrutiny of leading LLM access and vendor partnerships.
Anthropic's Claude Code Routines Automate Dev Workflows
The article explains Claude Code "Routines," a feature from Anthropic that packages a prompt, repository access, connectors and a trigger into a saved, cloud-run job. Routines run autonomously on Anthropic's cloud and support three trigger types: scheduled cadences, private API endpoints (bearer-token POST), and GitHub events. They can clone repos, attach connectors (Slack, Linear, MCP), run shell commands, edit files, open PRs, and post summaries. Users create routines via the web (claude.ai/code/routines), the desktop app, or the CLI. The author walks through an end-to-end example and seven practical workflows (issue triage, PR pre-pass, changelog, stale branch sweeper, dependency report, support synthesis, docs-drift watch), plus limits per plan and best practices for safe automation.
