Down to the Last Byte

As I said it would, Anthropic has delivered an orchestrator with cloud sandboxes. It works simply: it clones your repo onto one of its VMs and does the development there.

Anthropic makes Claude Code cloud sessions generally available

A long refactor, a migration or a dependency upgrade can now be handed to an agent in the cloud while you close the laptop. The feature is out of research preview, and the session runs on Anthropic's virtual machines.

You can start one from the web, mobile and desktop apps, or with the claude --cloud command. Runs can be scheduled, triggered through the API or by GitHub events, and companies can host the sessions on their own servers.

The feature is included in the Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans and draws on the shared subscription limits. Until October 7, Pro and Max subscribers can claim a one-off bonus of $100 and $250 respectively, spendable only on cloud sessions.

I poked at it. Container resources:

- RAM: 15 GB, no swap

- Disk: 30 GB free (the 252 GB that df shows is the whole physical disk; what you actually get is the session quota)

- CPU: 4 cores

The container is a full Linux in Firecracker, so Amazon is peeking out from underneath.

What it will cost is not clear yet, but most likely not much above AWS list prices.

So, friends, every last byte of your source code now lives on Anthropic's servers. If that is not to your taste, roll out MOP.
