Anthropic’s strongest coding model yet is now the default on Max and Team Premium, and available everywhere else from /model. It adds a new xhigh effort level that sits between high and max: best results for most coding and agentic tasks, applied as the default the first time you switch to 4.7. /effort now opens an interactive arrow-key slider when you call it without arguments, so you can dial intelligence against speed without remembering the level names.
Switch model and effort in one go:
Templated cloud agents that fire on a schedule, a GitHub event, or an API call. Define a routine once on Claude Code on the web with a prompt, the repos it can touch, and the connectors it needs, then let PR-opened, release-published, or your own webhook trigger it without your machine running. The trigger picker now covers GitHub events with optional filters and gives every routine a tokened /fire endpoint for external systems.
Create one from the web UI, or scaffold from your terminal:
More visibility into where your Claude Code usage goes. /usage now shows what’s driving your limits: parallel sessions, subagents, cache misses, and long context, each with a percentage of your last 24 hours and a tip to optimize it. Press d or w to switch between day and week views.
Run it any time:
Comprehensive code review in the cloud. Ultrareview fans your branch out across parallel reviewers on Claude Code on the web, runs an adversarial critique pass over each finding, and returns a verified findings report while your terminal stays free. Call it with no arguments to review your current branch, or pass a PR number to fetch and review that PR. The launch dialog now shows a diffstat so you know what’s going up before you confirm.
Review the branch you’re on:
Or point it at a PR:
The claude CLI now spawns a native per-platform binary instead of bundled JavaScript, so the installed claude command no longer invokes Node. The npm package pulls the right binary in through an optional dependency such as @anthropic-ai/claude-code-darwin-arm64, so your install command doesn’t change. The standalone installer already shipped this binary; npm now matches it.
