Aug 10, 2026Anthropic has published guidance on importing and exporting your memory from Claude, meaning the information Claude remembers about you is no longer locked inside the product — you can take a copy out or bring memory in. If you use Claude's memory feature, check Anthropic's support article for the exact steps; the release note itself doesn't include them.

Aug 10, 2026If your organization is on a Claude Team plan with monthly billing, you can now switch that same plan to annual billing without waiting or contacting sales through a new process. This only applies to Team plan organizations currently billed monthly. If you're on a different plan, or already on annual billing, nothing changes for you. Anthropic published a support guide walking through the switch.

Aug 10, 2026On August 12, 2025, Anthropic announced that Claude Sonnet 4 now supports a 1 million token context window, currently in beta. The context window is the amount of text Claude can consider at once, and 1 million tokens is roughly 750,000 words, or several long books. This is a large jump from the standard 200,000 token window. For now, access is limited to API organizations in usage tier 4 or those with custom rate limits, meaning it is aimed at teams building on Claude's API rather than everyday users of the Claude.ai app. If your company works with Claude through the API, this means you can now feed in much larger document sets, contracts, transcripts, or knowledge bases in a single request instead of splitting them up.

Aug 9, 2026Anthropic announced on September 9, 2025 that Claude can now create and edit real files directly in a conversation, including Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs. Instead of copying Claude's text output into your own tools and formatting it yourself, you describe what you need and Claude produces a finished, downloadable file. The feature rolled out first as a preview for Claude Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, with Pro access to follow, and it needs to be switched on in your settings under file creation. Practical uses include turning raw data into a formatted spreadsheet with formulas, converting notes into a slide deck, drafting formatted reports, and converting between file types, such as turning a PDF into an editable document. Anthropic's release notes describe it as a way to eliminate hours of routine formatting and document busy work.

Aug 8, 2026On July 24, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5, a new AI model it describes as thoughtful and proactive. According to Anthropic's release notes, Opus 5 comes close to the frontier intelligence of Claude Fable 5, Anthropic's top-tier model, but costs half as much. In practical terms, this gives teams a middle option: work that previously needed Fable 5's capability, such as complex analysis, long documents, or multi-step planning, can now often be handled at a lower cost. For everyday users of Claude.ai, the main action is to try Opus 5 on your recurring tasks and compare results against whatever model you use now. If the output quality holds up for your use cases, switching could reduce spend without a noticeable drop in quality.

Aug 8, 2026On July 10, 2026, Anthropic updated how memory works in Claude. Instead of keeping a single daily summary of your conversations, Claude now stores memory as a set of individual, categorized entries that it reads and updates during your chats. In practice, this means the details Claude remembers about you — your projects, preferences, and ongoing work — are held as separate items rather than one rolled-up summary. Claude can update a specific entry when something changes without rewriting everything else it knows. For everyday users, the change matters because memory becomes more granular: you can rely on Claude to carry forward specific facts across conversations, and outdated details are less likely to linger inside a broad summary. The change was announced in Anthropic's release notes, with details in their support article on chat search and memory.
