Claude Code Projects Turn One Conversation Into Parallel Cloud Sessions
Anthropic's redesigned Projects beta gives Claude Code one coordinating conversation that delegates work to parallel threads. Threads are usually cloud sessions, which Anthropic's docs now list as available, no longer in research preview, on Pro, Max, and Team and for eligible Enterprise seats. A project can also run a thread on your own machine through Remote Control.
OpenAI Opens Its Codex-Powered Agents API to All Developers in Public Beta
OpenAI's Agents API is now in public beta for all developers. The managed service uses the Codex harness to run long-lived cloud agents, coordinate parallel subagents, compact context across long sessions, and work in OpenAI-hosted, VPC, or partner-provided sandboxes.
Cursor Cloud Agents Can Now Run on Self-Hosted Machines
Cursor Cloud Agents can now execute on machines that a team manages, including dynamically scaling pools inside its network. The execution environment moves to the team's infrastructure while Cursor continues to handle the agent loop, inference, and planning.
Cursor Cloud Agents Can Now Start Apps From Scratch
Cursor Cloud Agents can now begin a web app without an existing repository. The workflow can create an Origin repository, preview the result, and publish it to Vercel without requiring a local setup first.
Cursor Cloud Agents Add Event Triggers, Long-Lived Goals, and Isolated Subagents
Cursor says Cloud Agents can now pick up work from events, keep working toward a long-lived goal, monitor pull requests, watch Slack threads, run scheduled tasks, and launch subagents in isolated virtual machines. The same update adds skill-based Custom Modes and less disruptive steering while an agent is working.
Cursor Cloud Agents Start Up to 3x Faster With Builds
Cursor says Cloud Agents can start up to 3x faster with Builds, ready-to-use copies of development environments prepared in the background. Builds keep agents on the latest successful environment, expose logs and version history in the dashboard, and are now the default path for every Cloud Agent environment.
Cursor Says Cloud Agents Use 20-30% Fewer Tokens
Cursor said on August 3, 2026 that its Cloud Agents are 20-30% more token efficient, and 80% more efficient on runs with computer use, crediting better MCP, skills, and computer-use handling. A September 23 agent-harness update later reported a further 7% cut in token costs without lower agent quality.

The app also supports cloud agents, mobile review, and PR merges.
