Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
Fast mode is available for Opus 4.8. It's the same model at roughly 2.5x the speed, and we've made it three times cheaper than before.
Turn it on with /fast in Claude Code. On the API, contact your account manager to request access or join the waitlist: claude.com/fast-mode
In Claude Code, Opus 4.8 makes calls like an experienced engineer without needing constant check-ins.
It stays on track across long-running sessions and follows work through in your repo, so you can hand off a feature or a bug sweep while you focus on what's next.
Also new in Claude Code: dynamic workflows (research preview).
For the hardest tasks, Claude makes a plan, runs hundreds of parallel subagents, and verifies its work before reporting back. Think a migration touching hundreds of files.
One list of all your sessions, available today as a research preview.
Run claude agents to start dispatching multiple sessions at once. Each one keeps running without taking up a terminal tab.
See what's running, what's waiting on you, and what's done at a glance. Reply inline to unblock, or jump in and out of any session without losing your place.
Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.
It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.
You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.
Opus 4.7 also has substantially better vision. It can see images at more than three times the resolution and produces higher-quality interfaces, slides, and docs as a result.
On the API, a new xhigh effort level between high and max gives you finer control over reasoning and latency on hard problems. Task budgets (beta) help Claude prioritize work and manage costs across longer runs.
Configure a routine once (a prompt, a repo, and your connectors), and it can run on a schedule, from an API call, or in response to an event.
Routines run on our web infrastructure, so you don't have to keep your laptop open.
Routines each come with their own API endpoint, so you can point your alerts, deploy hooks, or internal tools at Claude directly. Try sending Claude an alert payload and asking it to find the owning service and post a triage summary to #oncall.
POST a message and get back a session URL.
Webhook routines subscribe to GitHub events and let Claude respond as they come in. Try pointing one at your repo and asking Claude to flag any PR that touches /auth-provider and post a summary in #auth-changes.
We're bringing the advisor strategy to the Claude Platform.
Pair Opus as an advisor with Sonnet or Haiku as an executor, and get near Opus-level intelligence in your agents at a fraction of the cost.
Add the advisor tool to your Messages API call. When your Sonnet or Haiku agent hits a hard decision mid-run, it consults Opus, gets a plan, and continues, all within a single API request.
In evals, Sonnet with an Opus advisor scored 2.7 percentage points higher on SWE-bench Multilingual than Sonnet alone, while costing 11.9% less per task.
Introducing Claude Managed Agents: everything you need to build and deploy agents at scale.
It pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure, so you can go from prototype to launch in days.
Now in public beta on the Claude Platform.
Shipping a production agent meant months of infrastructure work first.
Managed Agents handles that for you. Define your agent's tasks, tools, and guardrails, and we run it on our infrastructure.
Here's what early customers have built:
@NotionHQ lets teams delegate work to Claude directly inside their workspace. Dozens of tasks run in parallel, and whole teams collaborate on the outputs. Available now in private alpha:
