Claude Code Got Its Biggest Update Yet!

We got three big Anthropic updates starting with their new Claude desktop. Now the new design is chat, code work, and Claude code. And Claude code is where we have the biggest new design and I want to just quickly walk you through it. And you see this, you are probably like, wait a second, is this not like every other Vibe coding uh or like, I don't know, coding uh app out there? Yes, just like Code X, just like everything else turning into Yeah, it's a good thing. This is the view that that I really really like and Claude code in the desktop app now has this. So, it means we are going to probably use less of the terminal um version. So, this is essentially the same thing, but in a nicer UI. Well, we'll see about that. So, here you have new sessions, by the way, this is kind of like nice how you you you see like what's up. Um you have the sessions you had prior and what you can do I can do command click to open one in a new like separate window, which is quite nice. Uh and for each one of these we have tons of like options like tabs. We have the preview the diff, the terminal, which is nice. We have the terminal and you see I'm I'm typing my [laughter] wild It's insane. [laughter] Don't look at this start dev server using the 1 million context um to npm run dev. [laughter] Okay, so you can you can more words in start the dev server than it is run and dev. [laughter] Well, I'm just talking, so anyway, um so we have these views and I can do this and I can also open a different project. Uh you see this is at in a different directory and here now this is where it gets a bit small. You see, you can have multiple windows, but I cannot resize them. Mhm. There is no resizing between them and I can't move them around. It depends on where you are focused. Uh and see, I can have a new conversation and I can here go to a completely different folder uh a different directory and have a new agent, a new task, whatever. You can have up to four, by the way. I Look, if I click more it just replaces goes on top of whatever Yeah. So, uh that's not the best. I wish I could have like more I genuinely have eight, 10, 12 in um Warp sometimes. But it's okay, I guess, maybe. I don't know. I I guess I need more time to play with it. But yeah, it's been pretty nice because as we'll talk about this in a second, you have the model 1 million max. all the time even [laughter] to run start the dev server Exactly. [laughter] Well, well, just to show you what I do with it, like one of these apps is just tool that I I've been building and yesterday I did a revamp of the the entire template logic. Now you can do any visual template build visual prompt builder. So, you build prompts visually. Uh that's really nice and then you can send it to an AI chat. All of this like I'm building a full-on chat uh UI that also works and everything just for myself, which is really cool. So, that's what I'm doing with all of these tokens. I just did this with the new model, which I guess you'll talk about in a second. Mhm. The new model from Claude uh the 4.7. I asked it to to do a bunch of um experiments for a web in a WebGL app that I have boy I like them. They are beautiful. That's enough about what I'm doing with it. What's important is what we have here. You have pretty much everything you need here. You can also do the [clears throat] the slash things um It is quite faster. It is quite more performant which is very welcomed. I did use the Claude code in the desktop app prior to this new update and it was unusable. It was legit unusable because it would slow down so much so much that you couldn't navigate between two tabs. The fact that now I can navigate it's it's a win, but you can still see that it's not immediate. I can feel it, but it's borderline is like fine. I can use this. At least for what I do, it's fine. I don't love that I can't you know, change the windows much and I can't close the master it? And I can't close this one. See, like if I want to focus on this and close everything else, I can't. I have to close all of these and then go to what whatever that I was working on to Yeah, and I have to click it again and so it's it's not the best experience when it comes to these if you care about these things, if you are a like full-on pro user, but I guess if you are if you are just trying to start with Vibe coding, I could not like recommend anything else. This is This is really really good, really user-friendly, really easy to start with and a pretty nice UI. Good job on the design.
