Anthropic is merging its Claude Cowork tool with Claude Chat, leaving users with just Claude Chat and Claude Code instead of three separate modes. The rollout begins with Pro and Max subscribers over the coming weeks, and the update also brings new Claude Docs and Claude Slides features plus Claude Design integrated directly into conversations.
Anthropic announced it is merging its separate Claude Cowork and Claude Design features directly into the main Claude chatbot experience, accessible from the prompt bar. Users can now select Docs, Slides, or Design options while typing a prompt instead of switching between separate tabs, while Claude Code remains a standalone tool. The update also introduces dedicated Docs and Slides widgets that let users generate and share files as links, PDFs, or PowerPoint downloads.
Researchers built Paper2Agent, a system that converts a scientific paper and its accompanying codebase into a functional MCP server accessible through an AI agent interface. It uses a multi-agent architecture built on Claude Code's agent SDK, with a central orchestrator directing specialized sub-agents through a six-step process covering repository discovery, environment setup, tutorial scanning, and execution auditing.
A new open-source tool called Panel lets developers run an AI agent alongside a research workspace containing chat, files, PDFs and Jupyter notebooks. The agent, currently built on Claude Code, can generate its own custom viewer panes on request when existing panels can't display something, and can run a literature review tool. It's an early-stage build requiring Node, pnpm, uv and a signed-in Claude Code CLI to run locally.
A new benchmark called Real-SWE evaluates frontier AI coding models against tasks drawn from real, private production codebases licensed from actual companies, including billing, tax and customer-migration work. Top performer Fable 5.1 running on Claude Code resolved 38.8% of tasks, followed by GPT-6 Astra and Gemini 3.8 Flash, with several other models trailing well below that mark.
Graphify C# is a free, MIT-licensed headless indexer built on Roslyn and MSBuild that extracts semantic relationships from C# codebases, including caller-callee links, interface implementations, inheritance and overrides. Unlike text search, it resolves exact symbol bindings across overloads, generics and multiple projects, producing structured data that coding agents like Codex or Claude Code can query directly instead of guessing from string matches.
RTK, a popular tool with over 79,000 GitHub stars that compresses terminal output before AI coding agents read it, has been marketed as a way to cut AI coding costs, with one viral post claiming up to 60% token savings. But independent benchmark testing using Terminal-Bench 2.1 across 1,740 task attempts found mixed results: costs dropped 5% for one model setup but rose 5% for another, contradicting the widely shared savings figures.
Engineers building the ArcBox sandbox platform used standard Linux debugging tools like strace and objdump inside a live Claude Code Web session to inspect its runtime. They discovered the environment runs on Firecracker microVMs, identical to the technology behind AWS Lambda and Fargate, complete with hardcoded ACPI signatures, minimal 4-vCPU/16GB instances, and an unstripped Go binary called environment-manager pointing to a previously undocumented Anthropic internal deployment platform.
A new open-source project called Algo-Trading-Skills packages 501 reference implementations covering algorithmic trading engineering, spanning 16 technical domains and five regulatory/exchange frameworks. Each skill is backed by unit tests (over 20,000 total) and follows the agentskills.io SKILL.md standard, making it usable by Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and similar tools. It's released under Apache 2.0 and explicitly framed as engineering guidance, not financial or compliance advice.
A researcher replayed 68,266 requests from 393 Claude Code sessions and 23,608 Mooncake requests through a custom prefix-cache simulator, testing three approaches meant to outperform the standard LRU eviction policy used by vLLM, SGLang, LMCache and Mooncake Store. None of the alternatives beat the default LRU-over-radix-leaves baseline, and the analysis found that cache misses mostly come from rapid, seconds-apart tool-calling loops rather than sessions timing out after going idle.
Developer Mayuki used Claude to vibe-code ReProgman, a lightweight clone of the classic Windows 3.1 Program Manager shell that ran until Windows 95 replaced it in the mid-1990s. The 12-16MB tool requires no installation, runs on both Windows 11 and Apple Silicon Macs via .NET SDK 10.0+, and has been published on GitHub under the MIT license.
Omarchy is a Linux distribution built on Arch that automates installation and configuration while integrating multiple AI coding agents such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Grok CLI directly into the desktop. Users can pick a default agent to debug system issues, tweak settings, or build apps and themes, and can also run local models via LM Studio or Ollama. It targets developers on modern x86-64 hardware, though it can run on older machines too.
