- A Reddit user says Claude’s Mac client appears to have changed its default task mode from local to cloud.
- The post claims the hidden switch was added in the morning and that it took half an hour to figure out how to move between the two modes.
- The screenshot shows a “Run this task” sheet with two options: In the cloud (Beta), which keeps running after the app closes, and On your computer, which only runs while the computer is on.
