The same capabilities that make Claude exceptional for coding are unlocking other new categories of work:
New Products & Features (January 2026)
- Launched 30+ products and features, including Cowork, which extends Claude Code’s engineering capabilities to a broader scope of knowledge‑work tasks.
- Cowork ships with eleven open‑source plugins that let customers turn Claude into a specialist for specific roles or teams (e.g., sales, legal, finance).

(Foundry). We train and run Claude on a diversified range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—which means we can match workloads to the chips best suited for them. This diversity of platforms translates to better performance and greater resilience for the enterprise customers that depend on Claude for critical work.
The demand we are seeing from enterprises and developers reflects the trust they place in Claude for the work that matters most. As AI moves toward scaled implementation, we will continue to build the models, products, and partnerships to lead that transition.
