That extra credit usage - it's not what I thought it was.

So we all got that extra credit a few weeks back, right? $150 in my case. I turned off extra usage until I needed it, which is today. Tried to call the API - no balance. So the extra usage is only via claude code. Thanks for that, Anthropic. EDIT: So I added $25 in API usage, and the text against that balance says: "Your credit balance will be consumed with **API, Claude Code** and Workbench usage. " Jesus wept, Anthropic. Do you seriously ever get someone to sit and think about what you're doing?

Anthropic’s most dangerous AI model just fell into the wrong hands

Anthropic's Mythos AI model, a powerful cybersecurity tool that the company said could be dangerous in the wrong hands, has been accessed by a "small group of unauthorized users," Bloomberg reports. An unnamed member of the group, identified only as "a third-party contractor for Anthropic," told the publication that members of a private online forum got into Mythos via a mix of tactics, utilizing the contractor's access and "commonly used internet sleuthing tools." The Claude Mythos Preview is a new general-purpose model that's capable of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities "in every m...

Does Claude's $20 Plan No Longer Include Claude Code?

Was looking at buying the $20 Plan today after a demonstration from a friend (and wanting to switch/try my options from Codex), but saw that Claude Code was not included. I wanted to ask if this was a temporary change, or if the Pro plan truly never had Claude Code, and I was mistaken. My friend has a Max plan, so I could just be mistaken. Thanks!

Just open-sourced a protocol + SDK that lets Claude drive your live app (ships as a Claude Code plugin)

https://github.com/BrainBlend-AI/tesseron Just open-sourced a protocol and TypeScript SDK I built mostly *with* Claude Code. The goal: let *Claude* (or any MCP client) drive a live application (browser tab, *Electron* / *Tauri* desktop app, Node daemon, CLI) by calling typed handlers inside your code, instead of scraping the UI with *Playwright* or *Computer Use*. It's called **Tesseron**. Ships as a Claude Code plugin, so install is one command: ``` /plugin marketplace add BrainBlend-AI/tesseron /plugin install tesseron@tesseron ``` Plugin spawns a small local MCP gateway automatically. ...

Claude Opus 4.7 seems to be regressing hard

I am running into a pretty serious reasoning issue with Claude Opus 4.7. In my case, the problem is not just that it made a mistake or misunderstood a complex codebase. It seems unable to maintain a logical thread even across a few sentences. I was discussing a communication protocol and a very specific issue involving the encapsulation of 2 packets. This was not an especially obscure topic, just a technical discussion where consistency across consecutive messages really matters. But it keeps losing the thread almost immediately. It will accept premise A, then a couple of sentences later r...
