Anthropic’s Claude Code Projects beta now runs parallel cloud threads for Pro and Max users; Team and Enterprise remain unsupported.

Anthropic says redesigned Claude Code Projects can scope a goal, delegate it to parallel cloud threads, review outputs, and assemble a result. Each thread is a Claude Code cloud session with its own repository copy and Git branch; overlapping edits become merge conflicts. Access is limited to Pro and Max subscribers: selected cloud users without existing web or desktop projects first, broader Pro and Max access over the coming week, and Team and Enterprise later. Hacker News reports the public beta began September 17, with a 200-thread daily cap and no separate fee. Threads currently run in the cloud on web, desktop, and the latest mobile app; local execution is coming soon, and threads that accessed a local computer cannot be shared.

Key facts
  • Accounts may open 200 new threads a day, with no separate fee.
  • New projects default to Opus: low coordinator effort, high worker effort.
  • Existing Pro and Max projects stay unchanged until the rollout reaches them.
  • Shared memory and a library retain decisions, files, and artifacts.
  • Local-access threads cannot be shared, to avoid exposing files or shell output.
  • Projects can consume usage limits faster because threads are full sessions.
