Release notes for Claude Code, including new features, improvements, and bug fixes by version. This page is generated from the CHANGELOG.md on GitHub. Run `claude --version` to check your installed version. `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt); `--tools` explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds; `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default; clicking a slash command in autocomplete now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately.
Monitoring
Learn how to enable and configure OpenTelemetry for Claude Code. Track Claude Code usage, costs, and tool activity across your organization by exporting telemetry data through OpenTelemetry (OTel). Claude Code exports metrics as time series data via the standard metrics protocol, events via the logs/events protocol, and optionally distributed traces via the traces protocol. Configure via environment variables such as CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1 and OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=otlp.
Agent SDK reference - TypeScript
Complete API reference for the TypeScript Agent SDK, including all functions, types, and interfaces. Run npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk. The SDK bundles a native Claude Code binary for your platform as an optional dependency such as @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-darwin-arm64, so you don't need to install Claude Code separately. If your package manager skips optional dependencies, set pathToClaudeCodeExecutable to a separately installed claude binary instead.
Run Claude Code programmatically
Use the Agent SDK to run Claude Code programmatically from the CLI, Python, or TypeScript. Starting June 15, 2026, Agent SDK and `claude -p` usage on subscription plans will draw from a new monthly Agent SDK credit, separate from your interactive usage limits. The Agent SDK gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code, available as a CLI for scripts and CI/CD, or as Python and TypeScript packages.
Week 18 · April 27 – May 1, 2026
Claude Code on Windows runs without Git Bash, claude auth login accepts a pasted OAuth code when the browser callback can't reach localhost, claude project purge cleans up local state per project, and pasting a PR URL into /resume finds the session that created it. Releases v2.1.120 → v2.1.126. The OAuth-code paste covers WSL2, SSH sessions, and containers where the redirect to a local port doesn't work.
Week 21 · May 18–22, 2026
Use auto mode on the Pro plan and with Sonnet 4.6, see which skills, subagents, and MCP servers drive your plan limits in /usage, and review diffs with the new /code-review command. Releases v2.1.143 → v2.1.149. Auto mode replaces permission prompts with background safety checks: routine actions run without interrupting you, and destructive or suspicious ones are blocked and surfaced.
Week 20 · May 11–15, 2026
Manage every Claude Code session from one screen with agent view, keep Claude working toward a goal until a condition holds, and run fast mode on Opus 4.7 by default. Releases v2.1.139 → v2.1.142. claude agents opens one screen for every session: what's running, what's blocked on your input, and what's done. Attach to any row to drop into its full conversation, then press ← to return to the list.
Week 22 · May 25–29, 2026
Run Claude Code on Claude Opus 4.8, orchestrate large tasks with dynamic workflows, catch security issues with the security-guidance plugin, and use fast mode on Opus 4.8 at a lower price. Releases v2.1.150 → v2.1.157. Opus 4.8 is now the default on Max, Team Premium, Enterprise pay-as-you-go, and the Anthropic API. It defaults to high effort; use /effort xhigh for harder tasks. Requires v2.1.154 or later.
Week 19 · May 4–8, 2026
Load plugins from .zip archives and URLs, search command history across every project with Ctrl+R, branch new worktrees from local HEAD or the remote default, and block actions unconditionally with auto mode hard deny rules. Releases v2.1.128 → v2.1.136. `--plugin-dir` now accepts a .zip plugin archive in addition to a directory, and the new `--plugin-url` flag fetches a plugin archive from a URL for the current session.
Quickstart
Get started with the Python or TypeScript Agent SDK to build AI agents that work autonomously. Use the Agent SDK to build an AI agent that reads your code, finds bugs, and fixes them, all without manual intervention. You'll set up a project with the Agent SDK, create a file with some buggy code, and run an agent that finds and fixes the bugs automatically. Requires Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ and an Anthropic account.

Google ordered to put clearer links in AI search and let UK publishers opt out
UK regulators today ordered Google to put clearer attributions and links to publishers' content in its AI-generated search features. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) also said Google must give publishers a way to opt out of AI features in search. "In a world first, publishers will now have effective tools to prevent their content being used to power AI features in search, such as AI Overviews," the CMA said.

Google's new Gemma 4 12B model is designed to run on any laptop with 16GB of RAM
The generative AI boom has driven the cost of memory into the stratosphere, and Google is a key part of that trend. So it's only fitting that Google should offer some less RAM-hungry local AI models. The company has announced a new Gemma 4 model efficient enough to run on a pretty average consumer laptop, filling the gap between the mobile-optimized E2B/E4B options and the heavier 26B MoE and 31B Dense models released in April under the Apache 2.0 license.

Trump plan to test AI models has a problem—US security teams were gutted by DOGE
On Tuesday, Donald Trump finally signed his executive order expanding the government's efforts to conduct voluntary safety testing of frontier AI models. Critics warn that the order may be short-sighted, offering only performative reassurances that the government is actively monitoring for AI risks, while changing very little about how and when models are deployed. Last month Trump abruptly canceled an earlier signing event over fears the EO had become a "blocker" impeding AI.

As AI gets better, it reveals an empty promise
Tandem hands-ons with Google's new Gemini AI agent — Spark — from David Pierce and Jay Peters. Their takeaways are similar: it's so effective that it's scary. Spark knew David's dog is named Frida and the first name of Jay's wife, even though neither explicitly provided this information to Google. What's scary is how all of this seems geared toward a future of "productivity" that completely misses what needs to be fixed in our world.
Amazon's search bar will invent AI-generated products you can't buy
Amazon's updated search bar will now show you AI-generated images of products as you describe them. For now, the in-app feature only surfaces AI images of clothing and home goods, allowing you to tap on the image that best matches what you're looking for and search for similar-looking items. Amazon positions it as a way to search when you can't remember the name of a specific texture or style, like a "shirt with a draped collar" if you can't think of "cowl neck."
Amazon will show AI product images when you search for some reason
Amazon will use visual search and AI to show AI-generated product images that match your search queries. The retailer says it will help guide users to products.

Microsoft and OpenAI broke up — now they're ready to fight
At Microsoft's annual Build conference on Tuesday, the company announced a slew of new or expanded AI initiatives, including a super app, in-house reasoning models, a cybersecurity tool, and OpenClaw-esque AI agents. The clear message: Microsoft is positioned to be one of the biggest players in AI, and it's finally acting like it. For years its AI business leaned on its early, exclusive partnership with OpenAI — but the pair effectively separated in late April.

Inside Meta's attempts to play catch-up with AI
A year after Mark Zuckerberg installed Alexandr Wang to jolt Meta's artificial intelligence efforts into wartime mode, the $1.5 trillion company has produced Muse Spark, its most credible AI model yet. By handing responsibility for Meta's AI revival to a then-28-year-old start-up founder rather than a veteran researcher, Zuckerberg bet that an outsider's urgency and ambition could succeed where the company's established AI organization had struggled.
