Claude Desktop support with Ollama

Claude Desktop support with Ollama

Developers can now configure Claude Desktop to work with Ollama as a third-party gateway provider, allowing them to use open models locally on their computer or access Ollama's cloud models, while retaining the ability to switch back to their existing Claude setup. Connect Claude to Ollama Open Ollama and select Claude, then turn Claude on. Ollama will configure the third-party gateway automatically. You can then choose any model within Ollama—both local and cloud-based. Turn Claude off in Ollama to restore your previous setup. FAQ Will my prompts or data be sent to Anthropic or Ollama?...

Two people collaborate at a desk in an Anthropic office, reviewing Claude Haiku 5.5 performance metrics on dual monitors.

Anthropic just made Claude 75% cheaper

Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks like summaries, data compaction, database queries, and classification requests. The model also serves as a subagent for coding work alongside Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, and excels at speed-sensitive applications including live customer support and browser automation. Haiku 5.5 costs approximately 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5 on average. The launch includes broader pricing improvements: Anthropic is halving the price of Claude Sonnet 5.5's cache reads—reducing Sonnet 5.5's cost on most agentic work by...

Official Unity Plugin for Claude Code

The way developers arrive at the Unity Engine has changed faster this year than expected, with a growing number now describing a game they want to create to a coding agent rather than downloading the engine manually. When you ask an agent to help build a game today, it picks an engine for you—typically something it can install, run, and share within the same session. At Unite Seoul, Unity launched the Unity CLI so developers could point their preferred coding agent at the Unity Engine. Today, Unity is continuing that evolution with the official Unity Plugin for Claude Code, a first-party...

Meeting You Where You Work: Unity Plugin for Grok Build

Over the last few weeks, Unity announced the launch of the Unity CLI followed by the official Unity Plugin, supporting the idea that Unity should meet developers in the tools they've already chosen and in the places where they work. With 3 billion Unity-powered games downloaded monthly, the CLI and plugins now sit inside the agents where a growing number of developers start projects. Game development is increasingly beginning in a terminal with an agent already open rather than in a browser on a download page. Unity's goal is to make the creation experience better and easier. The company...

Allen AI Releases AstaBrief 8B, an Open-Weights Model for Scientific Report Generation

Language models can help researchers search literature, synthesize evidence, and work through complex questions. But scientific work places particular demands: answers must stay grounded in evidence, models must preserve what evidence actually supports rather than broadening conclusions, and researchers need to verify outputs. Allen AI observed this in how scientists use Asta, its agentic platform for scientific work. Instead of simple keyword searches, users bring substantial context and constraints—for example, asking Asta to compare approaches across literature while accounting for...

Anthropic Introduces Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1

Anthropic is introducing Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, positioning them as the world's most advanced models for coding and knowledge work, with research capabilities that offer an early glimpse of how AI models will contribute to scientific progress. Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 are the same underlying model with different levels of safeguards. Fable 5.1 is generally available, while Mythos 5.1 is available only through Anthropic's trusted access programs, with safeguards specifically designed to support work in cybersecurity and the life sciences. Alongside increased capabilities,...

Understanding YOLO Mode: How to Give AI Agents Freedom Safely

Understanding YOLO Mode: How to Give AI Agents Freedom Safely

AI agents have grown significantly in capability and adoption since generative AI went mainstream in late 2022. In Stack Overflow's 2025 Developer Survey, 84% of developers said they use or plan to use AI tools in their workflow, up from 76% a year earlier. As these tools shift from suggesting code to writing files and running commands autonomously, a practical question emerges: How much should an agent be allowed to do without stopping to ask? Developers call the extreme end of this spectrum YOLO mode. Understanding YOLO mode before enabling it is important, but the main risk is often...
