Anthropic has released Claude Code Web in beta, a browser-based coding tool that runs tasks without needing a terminal. All tasks run in sandboxed cloud environments with strict limits on network and file system access. Claude Code Web connects to approved GitHub repositories through a proxy, creates pull requests, and writes documentation.

Anthropic says it is useful for bug fixes, routine tasks, and backend development with tests. An iOS version is included in the preview. The service is available to Claude Pro and Max users.

Wikipedia is seeing fewer visitors: The Wikimedia Foundation says page views have dropped by about eight percent compared to last year. The foundation points to generative AI tools and social networks that display Wikipedia content without sending users to the site. Bots that increasingly resemble real users are also putting more strain on Wikipedia's infrastructure.

Wikipedia remains a core source for training AI models, the foundation notes, but direct visits to the site are falling. If this trend continues, the project could face long-term risks. To respond, Wikimedia is working on new formats for younger audiences, better mobile editing, and clearer guidelines for how others can use Wikipedia content.

Italy's main publishers' group, FIEG (Federazione Italiana Editori Giornali), has filed a complaint with Italy's communications regulator, Agcom, targeting Google's AI Overviews. FIEG argues that these AI summaries appear directly in Google Search results, pushing journalistic content further down the page. The group says this setup violates key rules in the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), limiting the visibility of editorial content and causing revenue losses for publishers.

The European Publishers Association (ENPA) is backing similar complaints elsewhere in Europe. Publishers are pushing for EU-wide action against Google.
