Anthropic revamps Claude Code Projects with parallel agent threads and shared memory

Anthropic rebuilt the Projects feature in Claude Code so users describe a goal and a coordinator splits the work across parallel "threads," each running as its own cloud session; threads can track progress, open pull requests, run tests, and contribute to a growing shared memory and central file library. The beta is available to select Pro and Max subscribers using cloud sessions, with Team/Enterprise access and local execution planned for later.

Designing Grok Bot: interface for persistent agents

The piece describes how Grok Bot is designed around persistent 'Bots'—each with identity, memory, its own runtime and tools—rather than disposable chat sessions. It explains UI choices (roster, avatars that show state, chats as working interfaces, prompts as Skills or Routines, and Artifacts) intended to support agents that continue work across sessions and act autonomously.
