Anthropic Ships July Claude Code + Cowork Updates: Effort Control, Self-Hosted Sandboxes, Cowork Observability
Anthropic's early-July release notes add a user-facing 'effort control' selector in claude.ai and Cowork (choose how deeply Claude thinks per response), self-hosted sandboxes for Claude Managed Agents as an alternative to running tool execution on Anthropic infrastructure, and Cowork support for the Analytics API plus OpenTelemetry monitoring. Claude Code also gained sandbox credential blocking and org-level model restrictions. These are directly actionable for teams operationalizing agents — the observability and self-hosted-execution pieces in particular address enterprise control and auditability concerns.
