The tool now allows you to launch multiple sessions related to a single project, burning through more resources and cash at once. Appropriately enough, the feature is called projects and can be accessed from the Claude.ai sidebar. It's not the old version of projects, capitalized in some reference material, which allowed for the creation of self-contained workspaces with separate chat histories and knowledge bases. The new implementation is technically in beta, though that term hardly means anything anymore amid the constant code iteration. Anthropic describes projects as a way to let Claude manage multiple related tasks. \"Claude scopes the request, delegates the work, coordinates parallel threads, reviews the outputs, and assembles the finished result,\" the company explains in a blog post. \"You can steer progress throughout, even from your phone, and it keeps working after you step away from your computer.\" It's the sort of capability that might be useful if you are\n\n[prompting](https://www.machinebrief.com/glossary/prompting)the model to begin a large coding project and you want to get several essential components like authorization, databases, caching, and containers up and running at the same time. Essentially, a project spins up each task as its own Claude Code cloud session thread that works on its own git branch and its own copy of the relevant repo. A coordinator directs the threads; if they touch the same code, overlaps surface as merge conflicts like those in other pull requests. And each thread may get broken down into distinct tasks handled by subagents within that session. Claude Code now offers five different ways to run multiple tasks at the same time. Subagents work within a session, though each with its own context. Agent View provides a single screen interface for overseeing several independent tasks. Agent Teams allows coordinating multiple Claude Code instances that can share information and communicate. Dynamic Workflows allows subagents to be orchestrated by a script. And then there's projects, intended for work that spans multiple repositories, migrations that require more than a single session, or work that isn't code, like a frequently queried set of support tickets or documentation. Anthropic's caveat is that projects burn through tokens quickly. \"Projects can run several threads at once, and each one is a full Claude Code session,\" the company explains. \"Because of this, projects can reach usage limits faster.\" Select Pro and Max subscribers should have access to the Projects beta so long as they use Claude Code and don't have existing Projects set up on web or desktop. Pro and Max users without access can join a waitlist as Anthropic gradually expands the rollout. Team and Enterprise plans don't have access to the redesigned Projects beta yet. Anthropic reportedly told investors that, in its second quarter, it posted an adjusted operating profit - if you don't count expenses including stock-based compensation. Q2 revenue is said to be $11.5 billion, and if enough customers create projects that run multiple Claude Code threads at once, that figure could be higher still. ®\n\nGet AI news in your inbox\n\nDaily digest of what matters in AI.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-code-revamps-projects-so-you-can-work-and-pay-in-parallel", "canonical_source": "https://www.machinebrief.com/news/claude-code-revamps-projects-so-you-can-work-and-pay-in-para-ekys", "published_at": "2026-09-18 19:15:39+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-19 00:23:48.775506+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Claude Code", "Claude", "Projects", "Pro", "Max", "Team", "Enterprise"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-code-revamps-projects-so-you-can-work-and-pay-in-parallel", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-code-revamps-projects-so-you-can-work-and-pay-in-parallel.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-code-revamps-projects-so-you-can-work-and-pay-in-parallel.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-code-revamps-projects-so-you-can-work-and-pay-in-parallel.jsonld"}}
