GitHub has updated its secret scanning service to automatically block commits containing Anthropic API keys by default. This push protection feature prevents new credentials from entering public repositories, addressing a critical security gap for users of the Claude model family. Additionally, Salesforce has been added as a partner in the secret scanning program, enabling automatic detection and reporting of Salesforce credentials. These changes apply to all repositories with secret scanning enabled, including free public accounts.

Anthropic is tightening control over Claude Code's autonomous behavior with new environment variables that let you disable 'ultrathink' or cap subagent effort levels. For teams, the introduction of pooled group budgets on the gateway allows shared monthly spending limits across members, a practical fix for enterprise cost management. The release also patches critical bugs where shell commands would hang or crash on exit, stabilizing the developer experience significantly.
This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by finally bringing ROCm 10.0 to Linux and Windows alongside CUDA 13.4, effectively closing the hardware gap for AMD users who were previously left behind. The inclusion of native Snapdragon support on Linux marks a significant step toward running local LLMs on ARM-based mobile chips without emulation overhead. While KleidiAI on Apple Silicon is disabled in this build, the broader expansion to diverse accelerators ensures that developers aren't locked into NVIDIA ecosystems anymore.
