Sonnet 5 and cross-device Cowork push Claude from chat toward always-on agent

agentscoworkenterprise-controlsmodel-launchconnectorscross-device
◆Current state
Claude's changelog centers on two moves: the Sonnet 5 launch, its most agentic Sonnet model, and Cowork going cross-device with remotely-run sessions that persist across web, desktop, and mobile. Around them is a thick layer of enterprise administration (model entitlements, custom admin roles, Trusted Devices for remote Code control) and connector depth, most notably write access for the Microsoft 365 connector. Consumer touches like a monthly recap and break reminders round out the window.
◆Where it's heading
Claude is moving from a chat product toward an always-on work surface: sessions that keep running with no device online, scheduled tasks, and agents that can act inside Microsoft 365 and Slack rather than just read. The parallel investment in enterprise controls signals a deliberate push to make that agentic surface safe to deploy at organization scale.
◆Prediction
Expect Cowork's cross-device rollout to widen past the Max plan and more connectors to gain write tools, extending Claude's reach from answering questions to taking actions across the tools teams already use.
