Read full article about: Claude Code now remembers your fixes, your preferences, and your project quirks on its own

Claude Code now remembers what it learns across sessions - automatically tracking debugging patterns, project context, and preferred working methods without manual input. Previously, users had to log this information themselves or use /init to populate CLAUDE.md files. The new auto-memory function builds on that that: Claude creates a MEMORY.md file per project, stores its findings, and pulls them up automatically in later sessions. Work through a tricky debugging problem once, and you won't have to explain the fix again. Users can also explicitly ask Claude to save specific information. The feature is on by default and can be disabled via /memory, the settings file, or an environment variable.

Another recent update: locally running sessions can now be continued on the go via smartphone, tablet, or browser at claude.ai/code - without data migrating to the cloud.

Read full article about: Claude's Cowork desktop app now runs scheduled tasks so your AI assistant works while you sleep

Anthropic's AI assistant Claude is picking up new features in its desktop app Cowork. Users can now set up scheduled tasks that Claude handles automatically at set times, things like a morning briefing, weekly spreadsheet updates, or Friday presentations for the team.

Anthropic also points to the plugins already available that give Cowork specialized knowledge in areas like design, technology, and law. A full overview of available plugins is here. Moreover, there's a new "Customize" section in Cowork's sidebar where users can manage all their plugins, skills, and connections from one place.

Cowork is available as a research preview for macOS and Windows, open to all paying Claude subscribers. As with any agent-based AI system, there are cybersecurity considerations. It's worth being careful about which parts of your computer you give the software access to.

Anthropic has acquired AI startup Vercept to boost Claude's computer use capabilities. Vercept built AI that works directly on a user's machine, understands screen content, and executes tasks. Founders Kiana Ehsani, Luca Weihs, and Ross Girshick are joining Anthropic with their team. The acquisition price hasn't been disclosed.

Vercept solves perception and interaction problems central to AI-driven computer use, according to Anthropic. The technology lets an AI model read and operate human-designed interfaces from screenshots without needing a dedicated programming interface (API).

Vercept will shut down its desktop AI agent "Vy" in the coming weeks. What likely caught Anthropic's attention is the startup's "VyUI" interface recognition model, which reportedly outperformed comparable OpenAI technology in benchmarks.

Benchmark (UI element identification / grounding) VyUI accuracy OpenAI model
ScreenSpot v1 92% 18.3%
ScreenSpot v2 94.7% 87.9%
GroundUI Web 84.8% 82.3%

Claude already handles multi-step tasks in running applications. With the recently released Sonnet 4.6 model, Claude scores 72.5 percent on OSWorld—a benchmark that measures how well AI models complete real-world computer tasks—up from less than 15 percent at the end of 2024. The Vercept team could push that number even higher.

Suno investor admits she ditched Spotify for AI music, accidentally undermining the company's fair use defense

Suno investor C.C. Gong told X she barely uses Spotify anymore, accidentally undermining the company’s fair use defense and handing the music industry a powerful argument in its lawsuit against the AI music startup.

Anthropic can't stop humanizing its AI models, now Claude Opus 3 gets a retirement blog

Anthropic is retiring its Claude Opus 3 AI model and letting it publish weekly essays on Substack. The company says it conducted “retirement interviews” to ask the model about its wishes, and it “enthusiastically” agreed. The move is a prime example of how AI companies keep pushing the humanization of their products, blurring the line between philosophical caution and PR stagecraft.

Read full article about: Andrej Karpathy says programming is "unrecognizable" now that AI agents actually work

Andrej Karpathy, former AI developer at Tesla and OpenAI, says programming with AI agents has changed fundamentally over the past two months. According to Karpathy, AI agents barely worked before December 2026, but since then they've become reliable, thanks to higher model quality and the ability to stay on task for longer stretches.

As an example, he describes how an AI agent independently built a video analysis dashboard over a weekend: he typed the task in plain English, the agent worked for 30 minutes, solved problems on its own, and delivered a finished result. Three months ago, that would have been an entire weekend project, Karpathy says.

As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel.

Karpathy also points out that these systems aren't perfect and still need human "high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration, and hints and ideas." What makes his take especially notable is how recently he held the opposite view. As late as October 2025, he called the hype around AI agents exaggerated, saying the products were far from ready for real-world use. He fundamentally changed that opinion after the release of Opus 4.5 and Codex 5.2 in the winter and is now doubling down on it.
