Claude Cowork on web and mobile, plus 1 more change

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 one place for your projects and artifacts across both. The Microsoft 365 connector now goes beyond search. With write tools enabled, Claude can draft, send, and organize email, manage calendar events, update mailbox settings, and create and update files in OneDrive and SharePoint. Read and search tools work as before, and Teams remains read-only. Before members can use write tools, a Microsoft Entra administrator needs to consent to the updated permission set and an admin needs to enable them for the organization.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Jul 6, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.202

Added a "Dynamic workflow size" setting in /config for controlling how large Claude generally makes dynamic workflows (small/medium/large agent counts) — an advisory guideline, not an enforced cap. Added workflow.run_id and workflow.name OpenTelemetry attributes to telemetry emitted by workflow-spawned agents, so a workflow run's activity can be reconstructed from OTel data.

OpenAI · Codex app·Jul 6, 2026

ChatGPT for iOS

Added support for creating, searching, opening, forking, and managing Codex tasks directly from a conversation. Added filters for staged, unstaged, branch, and last-turn changes, with controls for comparing branches. Added support for adding selected transcript text directly to the composer. Added previews for image and file attachments before sending. Added inline Photos and Camera pickers to the attachment menu. Added a connection shortcut and support for SSH hosts using private keys or no credentials. Added usage limits and credit details to the task menu. Improved the task list with consistent task terminology, clearer delegated task titles, and a Needs input status. Improved initial task loading and foreground recovery. Improved autocomplete by selecting the first result automatically and accepting it with Return. Improved model, reasoning, and Fast settings so changes remain scoped to the current task. Improved task-management and dynamic tool activity presentation. Improved side chats to open directly when only one conversation is available. Improved plugin autocomplete with installed plugins and their icons. Improved workspace diff accuracy and expand-and-collapse navigation. Improved recovery by preserving thread state across reconnects and host pairings across sign-out.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Jul 3, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.201

Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Jul 3, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.200

Changed AskUserQuestion dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via /config. Changed the "default" permission mode to "Manual" across the CLI, --help, VS Code, and JetBrains; --permission-mode manual and "defaultMode": "manual" are accepted alongside default.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Jul 2, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.199

Stacked slash-skill invocations like /skill-a /skill-b do XYZ now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first. Fixed SSL certificate errors (TLS-inspecting proxies, missing NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS, expired certs) burning retries before showing actionable guidance — they now fail immediately with the fix hint.

Anthropic · Claude API·Jul 2, 2026

We've added the agent-memory-2026-07-22 beta header, which changes how listing memories behaves: results are…

Page cursors issued without the header aren't valid with it, so restart from the first page when you adopt it. On memory store endpoints, agent-memory-2026-07-22 replaces managed-agents-2026-04-01; sending both returns a 400 error. On July 22, 2026, the managed-agents-2026-04-01 header adopts the same list behavior. The Python (0.116.0), TypeScript (0.110.0), Go (1.56.0), Java (2.48.0), Ruby (1.55.0), PHP (0.36.0), C# (12.35.0), and CLI (1.16.0) SDKs now send agent-memory-2026-07-22 on all memory store calls instead of managed-agents-2026-04-01.

Streaming task logs, model generation retries, and markdown subagents

Auto-scrolling background task logs, automatic client-side generation retries, and markdown-based dynamic subagents.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Jul 1, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.198

Added background agent notifications in claude agents — sessions that need input or finish now fire the Notification hook (agent_needs_input / agent_completed). Added /dataviz skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator.

Subagent & task status bar, editor warnings, and Windows fixes

New interactive status bar for subagents and background tasks, clipboard image pasting improvements, and Windows fixes.

xAI · Grok API·Jul 1, 2026

Adjustable VAD threshold for Speech to Text

Speech to Text now accepts a vad_threshold parameter (streaming query param and batch multipart field) to tune the voice-activity gate that skips non-speech audio. Lower values transcribe quieter or noisier speech — useful for narrowband telephony — and 0 disables the gate.

xAI · New model·Jul 1, 2026Announcement

Grok 4.5

Grok 4.5, SpaceXAI's model for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, is now available on the xAI API. Priced at $2 / 1M input tokens and $6 / 1M output tokens, with configurable reasoning effort (low, medium, or high; default high).

grok-imagine-video-1.5 now supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video (including optional preset voices), with native 1080p for T2V and I2V. Text-to-video on this model runs as text-to-image then image-to-video under the hood.

xAI · New model·Jul 1, 2026Announcement

Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 is available

grok-voice-think-fast-2.0 is now available with Speech to Speech. grok-voice-latest will route to this model starting August 5, 2026. To get started, see the Speech to Speech docs.

Claude Code 2.1.197

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5: now the default model in Claude Code, with a native 1M-token context window and promotional pricing of $2/$10 per Mtok through August 31. Update to version 2.1.197 for access. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-5.

Anthropic · Claude API·Jun 30, 2026

Claude Managed Agents session event streams now support event deltas

Opt in with the event_deltas[] query parameter on GET /v1/sessions/{session_id}/events/stream. The event_start and event_delta events preview an agent message's text as it's generated, before the complete agent.message event arrives. Listing sessions for Claude Managed Agents now supports backward pagination. When creating a Claude Managed Agents session, you can now override the agent's configuration for that session. Claude Managed Agents vaults now support an injection_location setting on environment variable credentials (the Environment variable tab). Webhooks for Claude Managed Agents now cover the agent, deployment, and deployment run lifecycle.

Claude Sonnet 5 launch

We launched Claude Sonnet 5, our most agentic Sonnet model yet, with substantial improvements over Sonnet 4.6 in reasoning, tool use, coding, and knowledge work.

Anthropic · New model·Jun 30, 2026Announcement

New model: Claude Sonnet 5

We've launched Claude Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5), the next generation of our Sonnet model family, at introductory pricing of $2 / $10 per MTok (made the standard price on August 10, 2026). Claude Sonnet 5 supports a 1M token context window, 128k max output tokens, and the same set of tools and platform features as Claude Sonnet 4.6, except Priority Tier, which is not available on Claude Sonnet 5. Three behavior changes apply when migrating: adaptive thinking is now on by default; manual extended thinking (thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}) is removed and returns a 400 error (it was deprecated on Sonnet 4.6); and setting sampling parameters (temperature, top_p, top_k) to non-default values returns a 400 error. Claude Sonnet 5 also uses a new tokenizer that produces approximately 30% more tokens for the same text. The exact increase depends on the content and workload shape. For behavioral differences and model-specific prompting patterns, see Prompting Claude Sonnet 5.

Claude Code 2.1.196

Added support for organization default models — admins set it in the org console; it shows as "Org default" (or "Role default") in /model when you haven't picked one yourself. Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message.
