Anthropic announced that starting tomorrow, new Cowork tasks for Pro and Max users will run in the cloud, while existing local tasks stay on users' computers. Sessions and files will be tied to the Claude account for cross-device access. The move has sparked questions about where data is stored and who can access it — the poster quipped 'na na my IP stay with me,' echoing concerns over local execution and IP data ownership.
