Anthropic says it measured those gains with CPU instruction counts rather than wall-clock timing. On one heavily used path, the company says a 48% drop in instructions led to a 78% cut in latency, and it has added new CI checks to catch regressions before they ship.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example was a 20-line fix that got rid of a roughly <strong>one-second syntax-highlighting freeze<\/strong> on replies containing em dashes or curly quotes, by steering clear of a slow <a href=\"https:\/\/euro-truck-simulator-2-scania-v8-skin.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">V8<\/a> UTF-16 regex path. If you use Claude a lot, that&#8217;s the kind of delay you&#8217;d actually notice.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep the rollout from going sideways, Anthropic says it used nearly <strong>200 flags<\/strong>, later removed more than half of them, and sent the riskiest changes to employees first. The results are now live on <a href=\"https:\/\/claude-ai.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Claude.ai<\/a> and in the Claude desktop app, as Anthropic says its 8x more code per quarter, with guardrails, benchmarking, and verification doing a lot of the heavy lifting.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthropic spent two weeks in August tuning Claude.ai and the Claude desktop app, and it says about three times faster when you use it.
