Anthropic's Code w/ Claude 2026: No New Model, Focus on Developer Tools

Anthropic held its Code w/ Claude event in 2026, with a keynote focused on product improvements rather than a new model. Chief Product Officer Ami Vora, who replaced Mike Krieger earlier in the year, announced increased rate limits for Claude Code and the API, doubling the five-hour limit for Pro, Max, and Enterprise customers. API volume has grown 17x year-on-year. A partnership with SpaceX was revealed to use capacity at the Colossus data center in Memphis, which has a controversial environmental record. Head of Product for Research Dianne Na Penn discussed tool use, long context, and agentic loops, highlighting Opus 4.7's visual design capabilities. New features for Claude Managed Agents include multi-agent orchestration, Outcomes for setting success criteria, and Dreaming, a research preview that allows Claude to inspect past sessions and self-improve. Cat Wu, Head of Product for Claude Code, announced Code Review, Remote Agents, CI auto-fix, and Claude Security Reviews. Customers Shopify and Mercado Libre (with 23,000 engineers) aim for 90% autonomous coding by Q3 2026. Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, demonstrated the desktop app with multiple async sessions and introduced Routines for automated PRs. The event emphasized practical use of existing models.
