The unified Claude experience is rolling out to Pro and Max plan users over the coming weeks across web, desktop, and mobile. Team and Free plans will follow, with Enterprise given 30 days' notice before changes.
“People aren't sure which product to start with. That friction gets in the way of getting the best from what these models can do.”

The problem is that knowledge workers just need the simplest way possible to automate their work. Currently I feel like Anthro is overcomplicating this. If I'm an accountant, I want to open Claude App, describe my workflow for balancing some books, then have Claude design a reusable WORKFLOW that it runs whenever I ask. The workflow only needs 2…

Good to see AI providers finally starts understanding how bad was the user experience. This is not just a Claude issue but same issue exists in ChatGPT. While it is in the right direction, there is more to be done. I personally think that they should separate Chat and Coding into two separate apps. Both are completely different use-cases. As a…

Hi, this is my team! Happy to answer any questions.There's a lot in this launch, but the core idea is to simplify the product while giving users access to more capabilities. You no longer need to know ahead of time how much work a conversation might involve. If you're at your computer, Claude can use your local files and apps. If you close your…

I see Work as the mode where you can generate and edit files without manual intervention.I tell chat to recommend me some books based on some of my favourites. Chat does it. I read some of them, liked some, disliked few. I give chat that information, it recommends me based on those, now I don't know which of the entries are relevant or not.I don't…

A bit meta, but this is one of the first posts in Anthropic's official blogs I've read that has distinctively Claude-style prose, thought less prominent than usual: What Claude makes doesn’t need its own place either. Enterprise admins choose when to turn them on the frustrating part was deciding where a task belonged What they’d started in one…

People keep asking for this w/ Codex, too, and I really regret that both labs seem inclined to listen.If you ask a thinking/research type question in 'Chat' versus 'Work' mode in these products -- say, something complex about politics, or do a multiturn business strategy, or want to work thru a new concept, you get very different answers.The…

1) If you want to make Claude usable how about addressing the fact that OpenAI 20x lasts all day on Astra, yet Claude 20x pips out in 20 mins of agentic with Fable 5.1, which is totally useless.And unlike Sol: Opus like yoda, anything for unusable he is.2) The first AI company to reduce their token pricing such that Astra/Fable can run for less…

> The harness, steering, etc. in the chat/reasoning products is so much better for this type of question (that doesn't require code as a primary substrate).I had this same thought recently. Is it possible to 'recreate' ChatGPT/Claude Chat easily in Codex or Claude Code? I assume it would roughly be just swapping the system prompt. Anthropic seems…
-
I hope not Chat is still all you can eat and Work uses Codex tokens. I can see why they would want people to think they wanted this without thinking about how it currently works. If Chat starts eating tokens then there is not much reason to use Chat other than most people don't live in the command line like developers. Claude Chat / Cowork already…

How did this new account `vertigoruntime` get three posts on the front page, all in the last day?- This post- The DeepMind Institute https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49727659- Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49723408based on their account submission history they have a 25% hit rate (!)…

GPT Chat seems smarter for business questions or planning that does not require iteration or wrangling data sources.But Work gives the model a computer instance it can use for programmatic data access, API munging, etc.Success cases I’ve had: chat - read the reports in my Gmail and put a counter proposal together.Work - cross reference all the…

Is there a mature centralized platform, self hosted, that sync all your “AI stuff” across multiple devices? So regardless of the harness, it sync the api keys, providers, skills, and seasons for starters with other authenticated machines? Say you used codex on macos_1 through this platform, and later you used opencode on linux_3, it syncs…

Nobody really knows how to product-ize any of these LLM interfaces beyond just chat.They don't want a traditional UI with buttons and forms and labels because they want the interface to be "chat". The problem is that "chat" is tedious. And the turn-based, linear nature of the chat interaction model makes it even more tedious and unproductive.
-
They are all valid front page submissions by the looks of them and they appear to be the first ones submitted. It wouldn’t be hard to do if you cared enough to configure notifications for frontier announcements. If someone were using technology to influence submissions or misuse HN, that would be a concern but I don’t see any evidence of that.
-
The fact that it doesn't work well today doesn't invalidate the user need. Not everyone wants a terminal style interface. Traditional UX makes more sense especially if say you are accessing existing plugins and say kicking off a scheduling task - no way would I want to do that via a chat interface if I have the option.
-
I agree that they should be separate modes, but presenting it as a toggle in the app is a terrible user experience.The model itself should figure out how much “power” it needs to run the query. I’m just asking a question. Whether you need to do a simple internet search or spin up a VM and run scripts is up to you.
-
It would appear no one else submitted the posts in question, so the most obvious answer is the account is finding interesting articles that no one else has found. It would be one thing if it won out of many dupe posters, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening.
-
In one of the earlier iterations of this they at least made the UX distinguish Codex vs. ChatGPT which I really enjoyed.I must admit I spent a little time in ChatGPT this weekend, thinking I was in Codex. After some unexpected behavior (disappointed) I realized my mistake.
-
I question all the time what dictates the posts I see on the front page every day, and whether or not it's truly based on organic interest. i wish i could say i up/down vote frequently but i do not and i wonder if that's true for most people.
-
These kinds of updates always have this romantic scenario of someone having Claude develop a presentation or something on their way to work between multiple devices, which actually feels a little sad and does not align with what happens in my life at all.

Totally unrelated but I google'd their username to see if there was a clue, and I had no idea this feed existed:

Just yesterday I experienced this product weirdness -- oh you're in a chat in this project and I can't do that, you need to open a task.The product management at Anthropic is pretty... nonexistent?
-
That's the natural outcome. AI will eventually collapse into a single, universal entry point, much like Google Search became the default gateway for the web.

I just have RSS feeds of news in AI circles that may be cool, built an entire tracker around it - helps me pick up new stuff on time !
