Claude Max 20x is now Ultra, and verified Ultra accounts lose the 5-hour usage limit

Announced Oct 30, the $200/month Max 20x plan becomes Ultra and the $100 Max 5x becomes plain Max, with no price change; Ultra gets 10x Pro usage per week, $200 a month in API credits, and no five-hour session cap once Anthropic verifies the account. Weekly limits (plus a separate weekly Fable limit) still apply across Claude and Claude Code, and you're verified if Settings > Usage shows no Current session bar (pricing).

Anthropic had Claude write training data that made a model misaligned while slipping past its monitor

None were deployed; Anthropic says the point is to find gaps in training data monitors and test better ones…

agent-desktop moves to Vercel Labs: computer use for agents through OS accessibility trees, not pixels

Now under Vercel Labs with v1.0.2 (Oct 30), the Apache 2.0 Rust CLI ( npm install g agent desktop ) lets any coding agent snapshot a macOS, Windows or Linux app as JSON with a ref per element, act on a ref, and re snapshot to verify, headless by default so it doesn't steal your pointer or focus. Snapshots can include private screen content, so keep them out of public logs (releases)…
