Anthropic's Claude Duet is opening to US Claude Max users, and US Pro users will receive invitations afterward. Expansion outside the US is planned but has no timeline yet, and EU users may wait longer. Karan Ahuja said the team is prioritizing getting US Max users off the waitlist, and more invitations will go out this week.
Anthropic has launched directly usable legal artifacts for Claude for Legal; teams can adapt them with their own data and connectors and share them across departments. The legal gallery covers tasks such as contract review, regulatory change tracking, and business legal requests; each artifact comes with examples, and all outputs include source links. Since launching in May, more than 60 legal connectors have been added, including Bloomberg Law, Filevine, Ivo, Legora, and Patlytics.
Anthropic has trained Claude to perform a preliminary safety assessment of the conversation after each response; this technique, called self-assessment, has since it was enabled in June surfaced misuse that other safeguards were not designed to catch. The mechanism takes advantage of Claude having already read the conversation, costs less than classifiers, and improves in accuracy as the model improves. Rohan Paul adds that Anthropic's most accurate misuse detector is the Claude Mythos Preview classifier, which must first read all safety policies and is too expensive to run; Anthropic therefore trained Claude to replicate its judgments without reading the policies or the reasoning process, and on Fable 5 traffic this replica matched 78% of the detector's flags, rising to 94% for high-priority cases, with a false positive rate of 1%.

Anthropic has launched a new technique called self-assessment, which lets Claude immediately conduct a preliminary safety assessment of the entire conversation after responding. On Claude Fable 5, this mechanism flags 78% of conversations that a stronger prompt classifier deems potentially harmful, and 94% of high-priority conversations, with a 1% false positive rate. Anthropic says that since self-assessment was enabled in June, it has surfaced abusive behavior that other safeguards failed to cover, and that each successful attack now consumes about four times as many generated tokens as it would without the protection.

Anthropic trained Claude to give a preliminary safety assessment of the conversation after replying; this technique is called self-assessment and is used to flag potential abuse. Since the mechanism was enabled in June, it has detected abusive behavior that other safeguards failed to cover. Anthropic said that because Claude has already read the conversation, self-assessment is highly efficient, and unlike classifiers targeting fixed harm categories, it relies on the model's own judgment and will become more accurate as the model improves.

Anthropic launches the Claude intelligent reporting tool, available to users of the paid Claude Enterprise plan and can be enabled on the organization settings page. Administrators can select teams, a time range of up to 28 days, and the Claude products to include; the report generates charts showing usage, output content, and corresponding costs, and conversation details can be filtered by cost, product, date, and output type. Enterprises can generate up to 10 reports per month for free, with additional fees beyond that; Anthropic states that this feature should not be used to evaluate individual performance or for personnel decisions.

Anthropic told The New Stack that Claude Duet is powered by Claude Opus 5.5, can monitor connected applications and handle tasks in the background, and that the company uses an internal scorer to evaluate offline whether its task priority judgments are correct. Anthropic said urgency itself is a subjective judgment, that building evaluations for urgency is imperfect but very helpful, and acknowledged that Duet may misread conversations or misjudge urgency. When performing actions, Duet has a separate set of automated checks extended from the Claude Code auto mode classifier, running independently of the model executing the task, to determine whether actions match user intent; official materials do not state how reliably these checks block out-of-bounds actions, and during the research preview users cannot view or take over each step of its operations in the cloud browser.

Anthropic has released Claude for Financial Advisors, connecting data from custodians, asset management and wealthtech platforms into Claude, and providing skills tailored to financial advisors' daily work. The suite includes connectors such as Addepar, BlackRock, Charles Schwab, Envestnet, FactSet, Orion and Wealthbox, as well as skills for meeting preparation, portfolio rebalancing review, post-meeting notes and follow-up, and compliance and AI policy checks; regulated steps such as investment advice and client communication still require human review. The advisor plugin is available starting today, and the official recommendation is for registered investment advisors to use the Enterprise plan with audit logs.

Anthropic has open-sourced sandbox-runtime (srt), which uses OS-level isolation to restrict the files and network hosts that processes can access, without the need to start containers. The npm package @anthropic-ai/sandbox-runtime v0.0.81 is licensed under Apache-2.0 and requires Node.js 22.12+. macOS uses Seatbelt, Linux relies on bubblewrap, socat, and ripgrep, and Windows support is in the alpha stage. Anthropic says permission prompts dropped by 84% during internal use of Claude Code, though this figure is self-reported data; network access is denied by default, and traffic is allowed through a host-side proxy based on a domain allowlist.

Anthropic is opening a research preview of the Claude Duet agent to Pro and Max subscribers in the US, offering standalone iOS and Android apps and a claude.ai entry point, based on the Claude Opus 5.5 model. The agent can schedule meetings, draft emails, build dashboards, generate financial and sales forecasts, develop prototypes and web apps, and connect to more than 6,000 tools including Gmail, Slack, QuickBooks, and HubSpot through Claude Marketplace. It runs in a virtual machine with its own browser, checks linked accounts every few hours, and requires user approval before sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting information; securities trading and transfers between accounts are not permitted even with approval.

Anthropic has launched Claude Duet, a proactive agent app, opening it to US Pro and Max subscribers via a waitlist. Duet checks connected accounts every few hours, runs on a cloud virtual machine with a separate browser, uses Claude Opus 5.5, and users currently cannot watch the browser operations in progress. Based on Opus 5.5's API pricing, a check that reads 40K tokens and writes 1.5K tokens costs about $0.19; six checks a day comes to about $34 a month, higher than Pro's $20 monthly price. Before sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting content, Duet shows the specific action and waits for approval; securities trading and transfers between accounts remain prohibited even with approval.

Anthropic releases the research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive agent that runs continuously on a cloud computer, can read the inbox, draft replies, book appointments, and execute routines after you leave. Before sending sensitive messages, making payments, or deleting content, it displays the action, target, and content and waits for approval; operations such as securities trading and transfers between accounts are not permitted even with approval. A newly added safety classifier divides information into two levels: never share and share with consent; passwords, browser cookies, and login tokens do not pass through the model, and the browser runs in a separate virtual machine.
