Washington forced Anthropic to switch off its two most powerful new models worldwide, turning AI export control into something that can happen overnight.
An AI wrote a working operating-system kernel from scratch in 38 minutes News
A blow-by-blow log shows one of the now-suspended models building bootable low-level systems code from an empty folder -- the kind of feat that made regulators nervous.
Jacobian Lens (J-lens) Tool
Anthropic's open-source tool that reads a model's silent 'working memory' - for any word, it finds the internal pattern that makes the model more likely to say it later. Apache-2.0, with a live interactive demo on open models.
Claude computer use tool Tool
Anthropic's desktop-control toolset reached general availability, giving a model screenshot capture plus mouse and keyboard control for driving real applications. A separate browser-use toolset acts on page structure rather than pixels, which is usually the better choice for web work.
Claude Tag (agent identity access model) Tool
Anthropic's product for putting Claude to work in shared team channels, now with an access model that gives each agent its own scoped accounts in the systems it touches -- GitHub, Slack, a data warehouse -- instead of borrowing an individual user's permissions, so every action is bounded and audited.
Claude Sonnet 5 Tool
Anthropic's new most-agentic mid-tier model, close to its flagship on hands-on tool and coding work; now the default on Free and Pro plans.
Claude Skills API Tool
Now generally available on the Claude Platform. Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and templates managed as first-class API objects with create, list, get, delete, and version endpoints. They attach to a request by identifier, execute inside the code-execution sandbox, and up to twenty can ride along on a single call.
Claude Security Tool
Anthropic's code-security product for Enterprise plans, now running on Claude Mythos 5. An organization owner enables it in the admin console, and it follows a scan, validate, review, patch workflow, returning findings with weakness classifications, confidence and severity ratings, and suggested fixes rather than exposing the underlying model directly.
Claude Files API Tool
Generally available alongside the Skills API. Upload a file once, get an identifier, and reference it across later requests instead of re-sending contents; download files produced by skills or code execution; list, retrieve, and delete. Files are scoped to the workspace rather than to an end user.
Claude Fable 5.1 Tool
Anthropic's new generally available model for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, live on the Claude API as claude-fable-5-1 and on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Cache reads dropped 75 percent to $0.25 per million tokens; base rates unchanged at $10 in and $50 out. Now permitted to find software vulnerabilities in source code.
Claude Fable 5 (redeployed) Tool
Anthropic's top-tier model, back online after a brief export-control suspension, now shipping with a hardened cybersecurity classifier that reroutes flagged requests to Opus 4.8 and a wider default safety margin.
Claude Content Credentials Checker Tool
Free browser tool that reads C2PA content credentials embedded in image, video, and audio files, up to 100 MB across 17 formats. It runs locally and the file never leaves your machine. Important limitation stated on the page itself: it reads the credential only, and cannot tell you whether an AI was involved in creating content that carries no credential.
Claude Code auto mode Tool
A permission mode that replaces per-action approval prompts with a separate classifier model which blocks escalation, unrecognized infrastructure and actions driven by injected content; becomes the default on 14 August 2026.
Claude Code Tool
Anthropic's command-line coding agent that reads a whole codebase, edits files, runs tests and fixes failures on its own; it is the tool behind Anthropic's disclosure that Claude now authors most of its production code.
Anthropic prompt caching pricing reference Tool
Anthropic's documentation of how cached tokens are billed: cache hits at 10% of standard input, five-minute writes at 1.25 times base input, one-hour writes at 2 times. This is the page that explains why Claude Fable 5.1 can be substantially cheaper per prompt for long agent sessions while costing exactly the same for one-shot calls.
Anthropic Skills Tool
The reference repository for Claude's skill format: a folder with a SKILL.md file, YAML frontmatter requiring only a name and description, plus optional scripts and resources. Works across Claude Code, Claude.ai, and the API, with plugin-marketplace install instructions.
Anthropic Commerce Agents Tool
A runnable shopping agent and merchant agent from Anthropic, built on a single model in one agent loop with no intent router and no sub-agents. Ships four vertical examples (retail, travel, telecom, entertainment) and runs through the Messages API, the Agent SDK or Managed Agents. Checkout handoff and staged merchant writes are enforced in code rather than in the prompt.
