Anthropic rebuilds Claude Code Projects so one chat dispatches separate cloud jobs

What this means for you
If you use Claude Code, Projects now coordinates rather than stores: you describe work, Claude splits it, and each piece runs server-side in its own session, so shutting the laptop no longer ends it. It is beta with no published price or limits, so nothing to re-plan yet.
Anthropic has redesigned Projects in Claude Code, its coding agent that runs in a terminal. The old Projects was a folder of files plus one chat. The new version, in beta, is a single ongoing conversation in which Claude acts as coordinator: you describe the work and Claude decides which parts become threads. Each thread runs as a full Claude Code session in Anthropic's cloud, on its own branch, and keeps going after you close your laptop. No price, seat limits or availability date were given, and the source account is truncated.
