Claude Report — 2026-05-04

🚀 Anthropic Official

Claude Code v2.1.126 — May 1

Adds claude project purge [path] to wipe all Claude Code state for a project (transcripts, tasks, file history, config entry), with --dry-run, --interactive, and --all flags. Extends --dangerously-skip-permissions to bypass prompts for writes to .claude/, .git/, .vscode/, and shell config files (catastrophic-removal commands still prompt). The /model picker now enumerates models from a custom gateway's /v1/models endpoint when ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway, and claude auth login accepts an OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback cannot reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers, IPv6-only devcontainers). Additional fixes: auto-downscales images over 2000 px on paste, silently removes oversized history images and retries; corrects allowManagedDomainsOnly/allowManagedReadPathsOnly being ignored; turns the auto-mode spinner red on stalled permission checks; improves PowerShell detection for Microsoft Store, MSI, and .NET global-tool installations; fires claude_code.skill_activated OpenTelemetry event with invocation_trigger attribute for user-typed slash commands.

Claude Code — additional releases in window

Further releases in the May 1–4 window add ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_SERVICE_TIER env var to select a Bedrock throughput tier (default, flex, or priority) forwarded as X-Amzn-Bedrock-Service-Tier, and make /resume resolve sessions by pasting a PR URL (GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Bitbucket). Exact version numbers not confirmed at time of writing.

💡 Community — Workflows & Ideas

DeepClaude — Claude Code agent loop on alternative backends

Routes Claude Code's full autonomous agent loop (file edits, bash execution, git, multi-step coding) through DeepSeek V4 Pro, OpenRouter, or any Anthropic-compatible endpoint, claiming ~17x cost reduction versus Anthropic's native pricing. Reached 567 stars and 474 HN points on its Show HN post, making it the most-traction community project in the window.

Uber burned its entire 2026 AI budget in four months — Claude Code is the reason

Uber's CTO disclosed that Claude Code adoption jumped from 32% to 84% of the 5,000-engineer org, driving per-engineer monthly API costs of $500–$2,000 and consuming the full annual AI budget by April; 70% of committed code now comes from AI, with ~11% of live backend updates written by agents with no human in the loop.

Ableton Live MCP — natural-language control of Ableton Live 12

MCP bridge that exposes Ableton's full Python object model to Claude, enabling arbitrary Live session manipulation via natural language; pre-built tools cover common tasks, and arbitrary Python execution is supported for edge cases. Debuted on HN May 3 with 85 points.
