Tune in as we break down the massive upgrades delivered in Claude Code 2.0, a significant evolution in AI-powered coding assistance that promises to revolutionize autonomous development.

This update is powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5, which now serves as the default model, offering world-class coding capabilities and achieving a 76% improvement on SWE-bench Verified coding benchmarks. We detail how Sonnet 4.5 enables hours-long independent work while maintaining state tracking and focus across extended sessions.

We deep-dive into the game-changing features:

1. Native VS Code Extension: Discover the most visible upgrade—a seamless beta extension providing real-time code changes via a dedicated sidebar panel, inline diffs, and a graphical interface, working with VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

2. Revolutionary Checkpointing System: Learn about this comprehensive safety net, a highly requested feature that creates a new checkpoint for every user prompt, offering session persistence, and flexible restoration modes for code only, conversation only, or both. This is perfect for mistake recovery and feature iteration.

3. Enhanced Terminal Experience: We explore the improved status visibility, better navigation, and the highly useful searchable prompt history, accessible via Ctrl+r.

Finally, we explore advanced capabilities like the new Claude Agent SDK for custom agentic experiences, microcompact technology to extend session duration, and enhanced subagent control allowing users to @-mention subagents and specify models like Opus 4 for complex planning. This comprehensive release is available immediately and handles large codebases significantly better than previous versions.
