Anthropic merges Claude Cowork and chat into one unified Claude, rolling out to Pro and Max

- Anthropic is merging Claude Cowork and chat into a single Claude: hand it a brief and it takes over, continuing to work even after you close your laptop, asking clarifying questions while you keep the final say.
- The direction: one Claude that carries context across everything you're working on, making the model's full capabilities accessible to everyone.
- Engineer Boris Cherny says he's used the unified experience daily for weeks and finds it "simpler, faster, and more powerful."
- Rolling out to Pro and Max subscribers over the coming weeks, with tuning as it ships. The framing: Claude Code showed developers could hand off features and get shipped code back; Cowork proved knowledge workers could do the same — now both converge.
