Anthropic keeps pushing Claude Code toward autonomous coding with new parallel agent workflows

Anthropic has rebuilt the Projects feature in Claude Code. Users now describe a goal and a coordinator splits the work across parallel “threads,” each running as its own cloud session.

Progress is trackable in the main chat or per thread, including on mobile. Each thread can open pull requests and run tests. Claude builds a shared memory across threads over time, and a library collects all uploaded files and results. The update is another step toward code automation. Anthropic recently made autopilot mode the default in Claude Code, claiming it outperformed human developers on safety tasks. It’s also great for the IPO pitch: more autonomous agents likely mean more burned tokens, and control over how many tokens get burned shifts from users to the company selling them, like letting gas companies control the throttle in your car.AdAd Follow The Decoder for AI news, background stories and expert analyses.
