Summary: Claude Code launches as an AI coding agent

Why It Matters: This change shows a shift from a chat-based assistant to an "agent" that can take actions directly in a developer's terminal and code editor. It also introduces new pricing tiers for power users.

What Changed:

  • Added Claude Code, a new tool for the terminal, IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains), and Slack.
  • Introduced a command-line interface (CLI) for direct codebase interaction.
  • Updated pricing to include "Max 5x" ($100/mo) and "Max 20x" ($200/mo) plans for high-volume usage.
  • Added a "Team" plan at $150 per person per month with a 5-member minimum.
  • Changed the homepage from a general research focus to a product-led landing page for developers.
