Enterprise plans can now turn on skill and plugin security scanning to automatically check third-party skills and plugins for malicious content when someone uploads or edits them. For more information, see Get started with skill and plugin scanning.
We launched Claude Opus 5, a thoughtful and proactive model that comes close to the frontier intelligence of Claude Fable 5 at half the price. For more information, see our blog post: Claude Opus 5.
HIPAA configuration for your Claude organizations is now self-serve
You can now manage HIPAA readiness for your Claude organizations yourself. This applies to both Claude Enterprise and the Claude Platform (API). In each product, an eligible admin can review the Business Associate Agreement (BAA), download the implementation guide, and enable the HIPAA configuration in a single flow. For more information, refer to HIPAA-ready Enterprise plans...
Your monthly recap is a new feature at Settings > Reflect that shows you the topics you spent time on, your most active day and peak hour, and observations about how you work with Claude. It's in beta on Free, Pro, and Max plans, and requires memory to be on. Alongside it, Settings > Time and focus lets you set optional break reminders and quiet hours. For more information, refer to See your monthly recap...
Claude Cowork on web and mobile
Claude Cowork is now available on web and mobile in addition to desktop. We are rolling this capability out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow. Cowork runs your sessions remotely (in beta), so your sessions and files are saved to your Claude account and go where you go, on any device. Work continues when you close your laptop, and scheduled tasks run with no device online. Chat and Cowork also share one home now, with...
Added owner wildcard entries ("owner/*") to the strictKnownMarketplaces and blockedMarketplaces managed settings for allowing or blocking all marketplace repos under a GitHub org
Added a warning when workflow agents, forked skills, slash commands, or resumed background agents' requested subagent model is restricted and the parent model runs instead
Added a /teleport hint in cloud sessions showing how to continue locally with claude --teleport
...
Fixed worktree-isolated sessions and their subagents being able to run destructive git commands against the main checkout; isolation now applies to file edits and Bash in every session type
[VSCode] Added Focus view: a chat-menu toggle that hides tool activity behind an expandable per-turn summary with a live running-tool indicator, toggled with Ctrl+Alt+F or the "Claude Code: Toggle Focus view" command
Added mode: "mask" for sandbox credential files on Linux and WSL — sandboxed commands read a sentinel copy (the whole file, or just the spans captured by an extract regex) while the sandbox proxy substitutes the real value on egress; on macOS file masking falls back to deny
-...
Changed /code-review to run as a background subagent, so review work no longer fills your conversation and keeps stacked slash commands as its review target
Added screen-reader announcements of deleted text for word and line deletions (Option+Delete, Ctrl+W, Cmd+Backspace, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+K) in --ax-screen-reader mode
Fixed Windows paths with \u-prefixed segments (like C:\Users\unicorn) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
...
Inference hooks are now in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations. Point Claude at your organization's AI security server, and each governed prompt across claude.ai, Cowork, and Claude Code is held for the server's allow or deny verdict before inference proceeds. Requests are signed, failure handling is configurable, and every denial is recorded in the compliance Activity Feed. See Inference hooks.

It's available on the Claude API, Claude in Amazon Bedrock,...
