the venue · the walks · between sessions

The conference inhabited a converted SoMa warehouse — cherry-wood paneling, coral-pink screens, and a small army of pixel-art Claudes drifting through the corridors. A few moments that weren't on the official program.

Higher limits for Claude — and a compute deal with SpaceX

From the keynote stage: Anthropic announced a deal to take the entire compute capacity of SpaceX's Colossus 1 supercomputer in Memphis — 220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs (H100, H200, GB200), 300+ megawatts of new capacity. Same post: Claude Code limits doubled for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise; peak-hour reductions removed; Opus API limits raised.

Managed Agents

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Scale a fleet of agents and have them break complex tasks into coordinated pieces — first-class on the Claude Managed Agents platform.

Managed Agents

Outcomes

Define success criteria for an agent and let it iterate autonomously to hit them — reframes agent design around what good looks like, not the steps to get there.

Managed Agents

Dreaming

Between sessions, Claude inspects what it did and writes new memories. Agents that get better at your workflow the more they run it. Featured deep-dive talk by Mahesh Murag.

Code Review

Automated PR review built into Claude Code — the same tool every team at Anthropic uses internally, now available to everyone.

Claude Code

CI auto-fix

When CI fails on a PR, Claude files an automatic fix back against the same PR. Less context-switching; more "the bot already pushed the patch."

Security

Automated security reviews

Claude Code now runs security-focused review passes over changes — SQL injection, XSS, auth issues, secrets — before the PR ships.

Routines

"Higher-order prompts." Define an async automation that wakes up on a schedule or trigger and produces ready-to-merge PRs without a human in the loop.

Developer

Claude Agent SDK

The same SDK Anthropic uses to build Claude Code itself, now public for outside developers building their own agents.
