- Anthropic held a two‑day “Code with Claude” event in London starting May 19, coinciding with Google I/O.
- Claude now writes most of Anthropic’s internal software, according to engineers at the event.
- Claude Code uses a self‑prompting workflow where the model generates, tests, and refines its own code without human edits.
- Claude 4.6 (Feb) and Claude 4.7 (Apr) were released, boosting the model’s coding performance.
- Developers at the event reported that roughly 50 % had shipped a pull request entirely generated by Claude in the previous week.
Why it matters: Developers now ship roughly 50 % of pull requests fully generated by Claude, slashing coding time and cutting internal development costs; firms without comparable AI automation risk falling behind in speed and talent retention.
