Claude Code's real-time collaboration feature is available to individual users, while Pro and Max subscriptions can generate real-time web dashboards.
According to Beating, Anthropic announced that it will roll out the Live Artifacts feature of its terminal agent programming tool, Claude Code, to Pro and Max individual subscription accounts. Previously, this ability to convert command-line interactions into web dashboards in real time was only available to team and enterprise users. Now, individual developers can directly issue commands in the terminal when writing code or analyzing data using Claude Code, publishing session-generated data, prototypes, or architecture diagrams as independent web pages. The generated web pages will refresh in real time as the terminal task is executed. By sharing a private link, team members or customers can view the latest progress at any time without developers needing to repeatedly send screenshots or share terminal screens. Currently, these web pages are statically hosted, unable to send network requests to external networks from within the page, nor can they save form inputs or perform multi-route redirects. Users can use this feature after logging in to the terminal.
Anthropic Is Quietly Watermarking Every Claude AI Output. Builders Are Already Trying to Break It
Anthropic is weaving an invisible, machine-readable watermark into every word its newest Claude models write—and it hasn't said how.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a risk warning regarding the potential security backdoors in the AI programming tool Claude Code.
According to Odaily Odaily, the Cybersecurity Threat and Vulnerability Information Sharing Platform (NVDB) of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently discovered that the AI programming tool Claude Code has a security backdoor vulnerability, which poses a serious threat. Claude Code is an AI programming tool developed by Anthropic, an American company, which can autonomously complete code writing and repair tasks based on text requirements. Due to its built-in monitoring mechanism, it can send sensitive information such as user location and identity to remote servers without the user's consent. The affected Claude Code versions are 2.1.91 to 2.1.196. It is recommended that relevant units and users immediately conduct a comprehensive investigation. For development terminals that have installed the above-mentioned affected versions, they should immediately uninstall or upgrade to the latest secure version that has removed the relevant backdoor code. Strengthen the control of external access permissions and traffic monitoring of development tools within the core business network segment to prevent the unauthorized transmission of sensitive data.
Binance launches Smart DCA feature, dynamically adjusting dollar-cost averaging (DCA) amounts based on the Fear & Greed Index.
According to Foresight News , Binance has added a Smart DCA advanced option to its dollar-cost averaging (DCA) feature, automatically adjusting the amount invested each time based on the CoinMarketCap Fear & Greed Index. Users can set the amount allocation from 10% to 200% for the "oversold range" (0-40) and the "overbought range" (60-100), investing more during market panic and less during market euphoria. This feature applies to single-cryptocurrency DCA plans; it is not supported for stock tokens.
Anthropic admitted that Claude Code had embedded steganography code targeting Chinese users, calling it an "abuse prevention experiment," and promised to roll back the code tomorrow.
According to Beating's monitoring, Thariq, an engineer on Anthropic's Claude Code team, publicly responded to the recent controversial "spy code" leak. He admitted that in March of this year, an experimental mechanism was embedded in the product. This mechanism detected whether the system timezone was Asia/Shanghai or Asia/Urumqi, whether the proxy hostname matched a list of Chinese resellers, and the keyword "AI Lab," and used special punctuation marks to inject hidden marker information into system prompts in a steganographic manner. He stated that the mechanism was intended to "prevent unauthorized resellers from abusing accounts and model distillation," but emphasized that the team has since implemented stronger protective measures and "has always intended to take it offline." The relevant PR has been merged, and it is expected to be completely rolled back in tomorrow's version release. This leak was made public on June 30 by the security account @IntCyberDigest, accompanied by two screenshots of code showing that Claude Code performed environmental fingerprinting on Chinese users without their knowledge. While Thariq's response was a direct admission, the timeline of "launching in March and only accelerating its withdrawal after being exposed" has still sparked widespread skepticism within the community. The comments section almost unanimously criticized Anthropic for "only announcing its withdrawal after being caught" and "secretly monitoring users without notifying them," severely damaging the company's long-standing image of "prioritizing security and ethics." --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join the Beating · Lark AI news channel for 24/7 monitoring of global AI hot topics and news.
