The Call Center Doctors rented a four-GPU Nvidia H200 server on September 27 to run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash for its Claude Code coding agents instead of Claude Opus 5.5. The firm found the on-demand box cost $440.88 a day versus $184-$223 a day to get the same work done through DeepSeek's API, and it ultimately switched back to Opus 5.5, which worked out cheaper than keeping the rented hardware running.

A developer testing Claude Code 2.1.277's new AGENTS.md support found the file only loads when a remote feature flag called tengu_agents_md_mod returns true, which depends on telemetry or nonessential traffic being enabled. Setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC or DISABLE_TELEMETRY to 1 silently disables the AGENTS.md loader, with no warning to the user, a behavior tracked in GitHub issue #95690.

Anthropic's Claude Code tool will now read an AGENTS.md file when a project lacks a CLAUDE.md file. This lets developers who already use the AGENTS.md convention for agent instructions get compatible behavior from Claude Code without creating a duplicate configuration file.
