[01]
Claude in Microsoft Foundry is now generally available · Claude models are now generally available in Microsoft Foundry, hosted on Azure. Claude runs in your Azure environment with the authentication, billing, and governance controls your teams already use, and you can choose where inference is processed, including a US data zone for teams with data residency requirements. Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Haiku 4.5 are available, with support for the Messages API, prompt caching, and extended thinking.

Introducing the Claude apps gateway — centrally manage Claude Code on Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud · The Claude apps gateway is a self-hosted control plane for managing Claude Code deployments on Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud. It provides corporate SSO sign-in, centrally managed settings enforced on every request, and per-user cost attribution, and ships as a stateless container within the existing claude binary. It supports OIDC-based authentication, control over allowed models, and spend caps per organization, group, or user.

Introducing Claude Tag — work with @Claude in your Slack channels · Claude Tag is a new way for teams to work with Claude. Tag @Claude in a Slack channel to delegate a task, and it completes work autonomously while keeping context across the channel's conversations. Everyone in a channel works with the same Claude, it learns from channel history and connected data, and you can hand off work asynchronously. Built on Opus 4.8 and available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers.

Claude Code now supports artifacts — turn session work into live web pages · Claude Code can now turn session work into artifacts — live, shareable web pages built from full session context. Ask for a PR walkthrough, dashboard, or incident timeline, and the open page refreshes in place when Claude Code updates it. Artifacts are private by default and viewable only by authenticated members of your org, available in beta for Claude Team and Enterprise orgs.

Claude Design now stays on brand for daily work · Claude Design now imports your design system — from GitHub repos, design files, or raw uploads — so Claude builds with your components and validates against your system. New /design-sync and /design commands connect it to Claude Code, the editor gains rich layout controls and hundreds of stability fixes, usage limits are now shared with chat, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code, and connectors expand to Adobe, Base44, Canva, Gamma, Lovable, Miro, Replit, Vercel, and Wix.

Recent updates

[01]
Claude Code 2.1.196 · Organization admins can now set a default model that shows as 'Org default' in `/model`, sessions get readable default names at start, and chat file attachments are Cmd/Ctrl-clickable to reveal them in Finder/Explorer. Background sessions and agents are far more reliable — long-running commands and workflows now survive the process being stopped, restarted, or updated, and workers killed by a daemon restart auto-resume. Fixes include waking a background job no longer deleting its conversation, several `claude agents` side panel issues, and `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock.

Claude Code 2.1.195 · A new CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS environment variable disables mouse click, drag, and hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll. Hook matchers with hyphenated identifiers (code-reviewer, mcp__brave-search) that accidentally substring-matched now exact-match, and voice dictation fixes cover macOS capturing silence after the default input device changes plus auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai). Background agent fixes address jobs disappearing from claude agents when written by a newer version, blank screens when reopening crashed tasks, and daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start.

Claude Code 2.1.193 · A new autoMode.classifyAllShell setting routes all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier, and a claude_code.assistant_response OpenTelemetry log event now carries the model's response text. Bash mode (!) gains live file path autocomplete, and a startup notice points at /mcp when MCP servers need authentication. A cluster of backgrounding and agent-panel regressions gets cleaned up — backgrounding (←←) no longer spuriously cancels when all tasks carry over, and a phantom subagent that re-ran the main conversation is gone. Note that the assistant_response log starts capturing response content on upgrade for deployments that already log prompts.

Claude Code 2.1.191 · `/rewind` now supports resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run. CPU usage during streaming responses drops by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms, and sandbox network hosts you allow with "Yes" are remembered for the rest of the session instead of re-prompting on every connection. MCP capability discovery and OAuth now retry transient network errors, and a batch of bug fixes lands: stopped background agents no longer resurrect, and hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. "Bash,PowerShell") no longer silently fail to fire.

Claude Code 2.1.187 · A security- and stability-focused release. A new sandbox.credentials setting blocks sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables, org-configured model restrictions now apply to the model picker, --model, /model, and ANTHROPIC_MODEL, and select menus gain mouse click support in fullscreen mode. Remote MCP tool calls that hung with no response for 5 minutes now abort with an error instead of blocking indefinitely, alongside fixes for mojibake on pasted Korean/CJK text, --resume failing on empty -p runs, and a batch of resume, remote, and terminal stability issues.
