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 using 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. npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk — the SDK bundles a native Claude Code binary for your platform as an optional dependency, so you don't need to install Claude Code separately. Notes the caveats around missing optional dependencies and the bun build --compile single-file executable.
Agent SDK reference - Python
Complete API reference for the Python Agent SDK, including all functions, types, and classes. pip install claude-agent-sdk. The Python SDK provides two ways to interact with Claude Code: query() creates a new session per single exchange with automatically managed connections, while ClaudeSDKClient reuses the same session across multiple exchanges with manual connection control. Both support streaming input.
Claude Code changelog
Release notes for Claude Code. Added claude mcp login and claude mcp logout to authenticate MCP servers from the CLI without opening the interactive /mcp menu, with --no-browser stdin redirect support over SSH; status filtering (press f) in the /workflows agent detail view; a Skills section to the /plugin Installed tab; a teammateMode: "iterm2" setting; and a Claude Platform on AWS credential refresh option in /login.

Nvidia says its AI data center design runs hotter to use a lot less water
Nvidia claims its Rubin generation reference design for a fully liquid-cooled data center has eliminated massive amounts of power usage and pretty much all water usage.
