Anthropic makes Claude Opus 5.5 the default and says to drop "think hard"

Opus 5.5 is now the default on Pro, Max, Ultra and Team plans. Anthropic says older prompting habits slow it down, and it recommends starting at Medium effort.

For you: If you are on a Pro, Max, Ultra or Team plan, you are now using Opus 5.5 by default, and Anthropic says you can cut "think hard" phrases and stay on Medium effort unless results fall short. If you often run Sonnet at "Extra High" or "Max" effort, Anthropic says you end up paying about as much as you would with Opus 5.5.

Anthropic's Claude Meetings beta lets Claude join Google Meet calls and take notes

Claude can now sit in on a video call, answer questions, write notes and build docs while the meeting runs. The beta is rolling out on Team and Enterprise plans.

For you: If your team is on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan and meets on Google Meet, Claude Meetings is starting to roll out to you. On Enterprise, an admin has to turn it on. During the beta, Claude's notes and transcripts are free, and docs it makes in calls are free through February 10, 2027. Answers that use connected tools count toward your plan's usage. If you meet on another video platform, or your organization uses zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys, it is not available to you yet.

OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet so its agents can buy things after you approve

The feature lets OpenAI's dots agents check out with a saved card after you approve with a fingerprint or Face ID check. It is starting with some US ChatGPT Pro subscribers.

For you: If you are a US ChatGPT Pro subscriber, you may now be able to let a dot agent buy things for you, and you still approve every purchase yourself. If you are on another plan or outside the US, nothing changes yet, and some stores, including Amazon, may block the agent anyway.
