    Use ccusage to track your live, daily, and monthly claude code token and dollar usage. In the case of subscription plans it shows you how much you would have paid were you using API. Also estimates your current block usage which you can use to predict whether you’re going to get rate limited at any given time.

    How we built our multi-agent research system speaks to Anthropic’s multi-agent build experiences.

    We found that a multi-agent system with Claude Opus 4 as the lead agent and Claude Sonnet 4 subagents outperformed single-agent Claude Opus 4 by 90.2% on our internal research eval

    However these architectures burn through tokens fast:

    In our data, agents typically use about 4× more tokens than chat interactions, and multi-agent systems use about 15× more tokens than chats.

    Cognition goes further in Don’t Build Multi-Agents

    In some cases, libraries such as swarm by OpenAI and autogen by Microsoft actively push concepts which I believe to be the wrong way of building agents.

    Apple released container

    a tool that you can use to create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on your Mac. It’s written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.

    After installing and starting the service via container system start the cli gives you a similar experience to docker. Unfortunately in my case after resolving dated sources and switching dependencies to arm64 I discovered my Dockerfile candidate still had an x86 binary so I’ll need to find another candidate to test any performance improvements.

    Anthropic releases Claude 4.

    Pricing remains consistent with previous Opus and Sonnet models: Opus 4 at $15/$75 per million tokens (input/output) and Sonnet 4 at $3/$15.

    Claude Opus 4 is our most powerful model yet and the best coding model in the world. GitHub says Claude Sonnet 4 soars in agentic scenarios and will introduce it as the model powering the new coding agent in GitHub Copilot

    Claude Code, now generally available, brings the power of Claude to more of your development workflow - new beta extensions for VS Code and JetBrains integrate Claude Code directly into your IDE. Beyond the IDE, we’re releasing an extensible Claude Code SDK, so you can build your own agents and applications using the same core agent as Claude Code.

    Microsoft to open source VSCode copilot & WSL

    Over the next few months, AI-powered capabilities from the GitHub Copilot extension will migrate to the VS Code open source repository, says Microsoft. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), the feature in Windows that allows users to run a Linux environment directly on their Windows system, will be open sourced.

    Google releases an asynchronous coding agent called Jules. Unfortunately it appears to be wait-list only in Australia.
