Anthropic is hosting "Code with Claude," a global developer conference series across San Francisco, London, and Tokyo in May and June 2026, to showcase new capabilities for its AI model, Claude. The event will feature hands-on workshops and live demos, emphasizing the model's increasing influence on autonomous programming tasks and rapid commercial growth.
The conference, which includes an "Extended" event for independent developers and early-stage founders, aims to connect builders with the teams behind Claude. This initiative comes as Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent, continues to drive substantial revenue growth for the company, enabling AI agents to perform complex programming tasks.
What is Code with Claude and Why Does it Matter?
Anthropic's "Code with Claude" conference will be held on May 6th in San Francisco, May 19th in London, and June 10th in Tokyo, with virtual attendance options available globally, according to Anthropic's event page. Designed for software developers, engineers, and technical leaders, the sessions will delve into building with AI, ranging from introductory content to deep dives for experienced builders. Attendees will explore new features and engage directly with the development teams.The company also introduced "Code with Claude: Extended" on May 7th in San Francisco, May 20th in London, and June 11th in Tokyo. This supplementary event focuses on founder stories, builder deep-dives, and hands-on workshops tailored for independent developers and early-stage founders, aiming to demonstrate Claude's practical applications in the wild.
How Has Claude Code Impacted the Industry?
Claude Code has been a significant catalyst for Anthropic's financial performance. The adoption of its AI coding agents has shifted industry focus from concerns about an "AI bubble" to tangible commercial revenue growth, reports The Atlantic. These agents can perform programming tasks that previously took human developers days or weeks, often requiring minimal human intervention.Ethan Mollick, co-director of the Generative AI Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, described Claude Code's capabilities as "a step change" for the industry. Anthropic's revenue is currently growing faster than benchmark companies like Zoom during the pandemic and Google in its early stages. Projections suggest the company could out-earn many firms if its current growth rate persists.
However, this growth comes with evolving costs. Anthropic has recently doubled its estimates for what developers can expect to spend on Claude Code tokens. The average cost per developer per active day is now estimated at around $13, up from $6, with costs remaining below $30 per active day for 90% of users, according to Business Insider. This increase has raised concerns among some Pro users regarding the tool's long-term affordability and accessibility.
What Security Measures is Anthropic Taking?
Amid the rapid expansion of AI capabilities, Anthropic has also launched Claude Security. This tool, currently in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers, is built on Anthropic’s latest generally available AI model, Claude Opus 4.7. It is designed to scan codebases for vulnerabilities and patch software issues, addressing a growing concern over AI-powered exploit surges.Claude Security can be accessed directly from the Claude.ai sidebar and offers features like scheduled and targeted scans, easier integration with audit systems, and improved tracking of findings, according to Infosecurity Magazine. The company's goal is to enable defenders to keep pace with the accelerating "time-to-exploit" in cybersecurity, a challenge heightened by advanced models like Anthropic's own Mythos.
Anthropic positions Claude Security as a crucial component in helping organizations protect their environments while deploying AI at speed. Major security firms such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, and Palo Alto Networks are integrating Opus 4.7’s capabilities into their existing security platforms to offer more comprehensive insights and faster threat mitigation.
