Claude Code is a coding tool that developers run in their computer's terminal. It reads an entire software project, then writes, edits, and tests code across multiple files based on plain-language instructions — like having a software engineer on call who can work through a full codebase independently.
Details
Claude Code launched as a research preview in November 2024 and became generally available on May 22, 2025. It integrates with popular developer tools including VS Code, JetBrains, and GitHub Actions, and can open pull requests autonomously. Anthropic has stated that the majority of its own code is now written using Claude Code. The product is estimated to have reached approximately $2.5 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026, with enterprise customers representing more than half of that total. Claude Code is evaluated using the SWE-bench benchmark, a standardized test of an AI's ability to resolve real software engineering problems; Claude Opus 4 scored 72.5% on that benchmark.

Other practices by Anthropic
OtherAnthropic has partnered with scientific and government institutions to deploy Claude in research settings. In January 2026, Claude helped guide NASA's Perseverance rover to travel 400 meters across Mars — the first time an AI assistant helped navigate a spacecraft on another planet. Partnerships with major biomedical research institutions are also underway to use Claude in laboratory and computational research.OtherAnthropic developed a specialized AI model called Claude Mythos to help find dangerous security flaws in software before malicious actors do. Because the model is powerful enough to create its own exploits, it is not available to the public — access is restricted to approximately 40 vetted organizations, including major technology and financial companies, for defensive use only.OtherAnthropic operates a formal safety framework called the Responsible Scaling Policy that sets rules for when and how it can train and release more powerful AI models. Under this policy, each new Claude model is assigned a safety level, and passing specific safety tests is required before the model can be deployed. The framework is now in its third version and has been updated as Claude's capabilities have grown.
