Code with Claude: The 5 biggest updates explained

Anthropic unveiled five major updates at its "Code with Claude" event, including scheduled AI routines, outcome-based agent grading, multi-agent orchestration, and a new "Dreams" memory system for long-term agent behavior. The updates also introduced increased Claude Code usage limits, which the company says will enable builders to automate recurring workflows and deploy specialized AI teams with distinct roles and tools. These features aim to reshape how developers build and ship agentic software products.
