Anthropic

New initiative offers grants, forums, and public data to advance empirical research on how AI is reshaping labor, productivity, and value creation.

Anthropic’s new "Artifacts" feature turns Claude into a lightweight app builder, enabling users to create, host, and share interactive AI-powered tools without writing code. It’s a direct bid to open up Claude’s capabilities for builders and businesses alike.

Anthropic has enabled Claude Code to connect to remote services using OAuth and streamable HTTP. Developers can now integrate external tools like Sentry or Linear directly into their coding environment without hosting infrastructure. This marks a key step in making AI-assisted coding more modular and frictionless.

New .dxt format simplifies packaging and deployment of local Claude Desktop servers for developers and IT teams

Developers can now link Claude Code to hosted toolchains—like GitHub, Linear, or Sentry—via vendor URLs, removing the need for local configuration or maintenance.
