ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Fast mode on Opus four point eight is deprecated and goes away November thirtieth, so anything still pinned to it will start returning errors. Also this week: the ultrathink keyword now runs a turn at extra high effort, a new setting blocks file writes outside your working directories, and idle conversations get summarized in the background in Visual Studio Code and Claude Desktop. Plus a tampered Claude Code extension on a third-party marketplace, Anthropic's retail public offering plans, and an expanding FTC inquiry.
