# Anthropic launches parallel AI agent orchestration for select subscribers

The redesigned Claude Code Projects feature lets users run multiple cloud sessions in parallel with shared memory and goal coordination.

Anthropic announced a beta of its redesigned Claude Code Projects feature for select Claude Pro and Max subscribers, adding a coordinator that can break an engineering goal into smaller jobs and assign them to multiple Claude Code cloud sessions running in parallel [^1].

The update shifts the tool from a single-agent interface to a multi-threaded environment where each parallel thread operates as its own cloud session working on its own branch and copy of the repository [^8]. These sessions run independently with separate branches and repository copies, utilizing subagents, loops, and workflows while handling merge conflicts like standard pull requests [^6].

Anthropic said its redesigned Claude Code projects feature adds AI orchestration, with the capability initially offered only to select Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use cloud sessions and have no existing projects on the web or desktop [^4]. The updated project management features are currently available in beta to select Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use cloud sessions in Claude Code [^5].

The system allows users to run multiple AI agents in the cloud under a single project with shared memory, goals, and a library of files and artifacts [^3]. Anthropic engineers published a book distilling the architecture, design decisions, and transferable patterns of Claude Code, the most widely used AI coding agent [^2].

Performance engineering in Claude Code achieves a startup time of 240ms via parallel I/O and uses slot reservation to save context in 99% of requests [^7].
