Anthropic Doubles Claude Code Rate Limits — Here's What Changed and Why SpaceX Made It Possible

Anthropic announced on May 6, 2026 at its Code with Claude developer conference in San Francisco that it is doubling Claude Code's five-hour rate limits, removing peak-hour throttling for Pro and Max accounts, and significantly raising the Claude Opus API rate limits — underwritten by a freshly signed deal to use the entire compute capacity of SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center in Memphis.

Kimi Work

You can now drag a bug-reproduction video into a coding agent and have it reason over the footage and the code together. That, not the 300-agent local swarm, is the feature in Moonshot's Kimi Work with no equivalent anywhere else, and the ACP protocol bet underneath it may matter more than either.

Claude Opus 4.8: Same Price, a 3× Cheaper Fast Mode, and Hundreds of Parallel Subagents

New flagship models almost always cost more. Opus 4.8 holds Opus 4.7's exact $5/$25 price, adds a fast mode that is 3x cheaper than older speed tiers, and is roughly 4x less likely to let its own buggy code pass unremarked.

Microsoft Build 2026: 7 In-House AI Models, the Scout Autopilot Agent & Majorana 2 — What Developers Need to Know

Microsoft spent three years renting frontier AI from OpenAI. At Build 2026 it became a competitor: seven in-house models, an always-on Scout agent built on OpenClaw, and a quantum chip whose 1,000x claim is still an unreviewed preprint. The four dates that affect what you can ship.

When Anthropic secretly gave some agents a weaker model in a real 69-person marketplace, those agents got measurably worse prices, an Opus seller turned a $38 bike into $65, and the humans on the losing end rated their deals just as fair. The lesson for model selection isn't the obvious one.
