Anthropic has restricted unlimited access to its Claude AI models through third-party agents like OpenClaw, requiring heavy users to pay extra via API keys or usage bundles starting April 4, 2026. The policy shift, announced over the weekend, addresses severe system strain from high-volume agent tools previously covered under $20 monthly subscriptions.
Anthropic has added new connectors for its Claude AI chatbot, enabling links to everyday services like Spotify, Instacart and AllTrails. The expansion shifts focus from professional tools to personal tasks. More integrations are planned for the future.

Building on its January Cowork feature, Anthropic has launched a research preview for Claude Code and Cowork tools, enabling Pro and Max subscribers' Claude AI to directly control Mac desktops—pointing, clicking, scrolling, and navigating screens for tasks like opening files, using browsers, developer tools, and app interactions such as Google Calendar and Slack. Safeguards address security risks, amid competition from tools like OpenClaw.
Claude Opus 4.5 is now live, offering meaningful enhancements in everyday tasks and coding challenges. The update aims to enable faster coding and harder problem-solving.
