NEW "AUTO MODE" PERMISSIONS COMING...

Claude Code plans to launch Auto Mode in research preview no earlier than March 11. Auto Mode lets Claude handle permission decisions during coding sessions so developers can run longer tasks without being interrupted for manual approvals. It is designed to be a safer alternative to bypassing permissions entirely. Users should only use Auto Mode in isolated environments, as it isn't perfect and won't catch every action that could be considered risky.

ANTHROPIC SAYS IT WILL FIGHT NEW PENTAGON MOVE AS CEO APOLOGIZES FOR LEAKED MEMO

Anthropic is challenging the decision in court as it doesn't believe the action is legally sound.
