Week 16 · April 13–17, 2026

Claude Opus 4.7 with the new xhigh effort level, Routines on Claude Code on the web, mobile push notifications that ping your phone when Claude needs you, a /usage breakdown that shows what's driving your limits, and native binaries replacing the bundled JavaScript.

Releases v2.1.105 → v2.1.1135 features · April 13–17

Claude Opus 4.7new model

Anthropic's strongest coding model yet is now the default on Max and Team Premium, and available everywhere else from /model. It adds a new xhigh effort level that sits between high and max: best results for most coding and agentic tasks, applied as the default the first time you switch to 4.7. /effort now opens an interactive arrow-key slider when you call it without arguments, so you can dial intelligence against speed without remembering the level names.

Switch model and effort in one go:

> /model opus
> /effort xhigh

Routinesweb

Templated cloud agents that fire on a schedule, a GitHub event, or an API call. Define a routine once on Claude Code on the web with a prompt, the repos it can touch, and the connectors it needs, then let PR-opened, release-published, or your own webhook trigger it without your machine running. The trigger picker now covers GitHub events with optional filters and gives every routine a tokened /fire endpoint for external systems.

/usage breakdownCLI

More visibility into where your Claude Code usage goes. /usage now shows what's driving your limits: parallel sessions, subagents, cache misses, and long context, each with a percentage of your last 24 hours and a tip to optimize it. Press d or w to switch between day and week views.

Run it any time:

Mobile push notificationsmobile

With Remote Control connected, Claude can send a push notification to your phone when a long task finishes or it needs a decision to keep going. Turn it on with "Push when Claude decides" in /config, or ask for one in your prompt. Useful when you kick off a long agent run and want to step away from the terminal.

Ask Claude to ping you when it's done:

Native binariesv2.1.113

The claude CLI now spawns a native per-platform binary instead of bundled JavaScript, so the installed claude command no longer invokes Node. The npm package pulls the right binary in through an optional dependency such as @anthropic-ai/claude-code-darwin-arm64, so your install command doesn't change. The standalone installer already shipped this binary; npm now matches it.

Upgrade and check what you're running:

claude update
claude --version
