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.

Claude Haiku 4.5 Arrives: Faster and Cheaper
Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 4.5, a compact, cost-efficient AI coding model positioned as faster and cheaper than its predecessor. The model is described as twice as fast as Claude Sonnet 4 and available for about one-third the price. It reportedly outperforms Sonnet 4 on software engineering benchmarks and can compete with OpenAI's GPT-5 and GPT-5-Codex in certain scenarios. The article highlights architectural efficiency as the main advantage, making Haiku 4.5 a viable option for browser-accelerated use via Agent Claude for Chrome and for multi-agent projects and prototyping in Claude Code. Access is provided through the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud Vertex AI. The piece notes that Haiku 4.5 can be used alongside Sonnet 4.5, enabling planning with the larger model and execution on the smaller one, underscoring its role as a cost-conscious alternative in coding-focused LLMs.
Anthropic recounts the making of Claude Code
Anthropic published a 'making of' account detailing the technical and product evolution that produced Claude Code, its coding-assistant AI. The company started with a VS Code extension in early 2022 (about 100 external users) and iterated through internal command-line tools (Clide), demos and Claude CLI before launching Claude Code as the successor to Claude CLI in early 2025. Anthropic engineers and leaders quoted include co‑founder and Labs lead Ben Mann, Head of Reinforcement Learning Shauna Kravec, Boris Cherny and Raphael Lee. The piece describes agentic-coding milestones (Function Calling, search tools), cites model roadmaps (Claude Sonnet, Fable and Mythos series) and gives internal adoption anecdotes—e.g., engineers reporting Claude Code authored increasing shares of their code in 2025. The article places Claude Code in competitive context with OpenAI and Google and cites Anthropic data on rising usage of coding agents.
Anthropic launches Claude Opus 5.5 for coding and knowledge work
Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 5.5, its new flagship model designed for complex coding, knowledge work, and long-running agentic tasks. It is available on the Claude Platform, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Opus 5.5 offers improved performance, being up to 40% cheaper per task and over 30% faster than Opus 5. Token prices have been reduced to $4 per million input and $20 per million output tokens. The model can handle large codebases, completing a 200,000-line repair in three hours compared to over 20 hours for Opus 5. Enhanced security features include resistance to prompt injection, an action classifier, and Preserved Thinking to combat distillation attacks. It has achieved record alignment scores in Anthropic's Behavioral Audit. Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are expected in the coming weeks.
