Claude Code has launched a new computer use feature that enables users to execute various tasks remotely, such as sending files via Slack and WhatsApp, and publishing LinkedIn posts from mobile devices. The feature was evaluated through practical tests, demonstrating its capabilities in building websites and screen recording. Key functionalities include the ability to trigger Claude Code skills remotely and manage tasks away from a desk. This development could enhance productivity for users who require flexibility in their work environments.

This release quietly introduces Code Mode, an opt-in feature where Claude writes JavaScript to call its own tools, marking a shift toward more autonomous agent-like behavior within the CLI. The update also hardens the plugin ecosystem by enforcing version ranges and adding strict TypeScript type checking for hooks, which should significantly reduce instability from third-party extensions. Beyond these features, the changelog is dominated by critical fixes for authentication drift in background sessions and memory leaks when handling large files, stabilizing the tool for heavy enterprise use.
This release quietly patches a critical memory overflow in the mtmd module that caused crashes when loading HunyuanVL models. The issue stemmed from F64 position embeddings overflowing an F32 buffer, a subtle bug that broke multimodal inference for users relying on this specific architecture. By enforcing strict F32 requirements, llama.cpp stabilizes support for Tencent's vision-language model without adding new features or changing the core API. It’s a necessary maintenance update that keeps local multimodal workflows from breaking unexpectedly.
