Summary: Anthropic launches Claude Code AI coding agent

Why It Matters: Anthropic is moving beyond a simple chat interface to a tool that lives inside a developer's workflow. This new tool can actually take actions in a codebase rather than just suggesting text.

What Changed:

• Added Claude Code, a new product for developers to build and ship code from the terminal or IDE.
• Introduced a command-line interface (CLI) that allows Claude to use local developer tools and execute commands.
• Updated the website to show integrations with VS Code, JetBrains, and Slack.
• Added new pricing tiers for "Max" plans ($100 and $200 per month) that include higher usage limits for coding tasks.
• Changed the homepage to focus on "agentic" capabilities like debugging and refactoring entire features.
