Claude API launches the Usage and Cost Analytics API in beta and raises the request size limit to 128 MB

Per the official Claude API release notes, on Oct 29 Anthropic launched the Usage and Cost Analytics API in beta, with two endpoints, /v1/organizations/analytics/usage and /analytics/cost, that filter and group token usage and cost by model, workspace, API key, and the user or service account behind each request, with 1-minute, 1-hour, or 1-day buckets. The older Usage and Cost API is now legacy but still supported. On Oct 28 the maximum request size for the Messages and Token Counting APIs on the first-party Claude API rose from 32 MB to 128 MB.

Key Takeaways

The new API needs the analytics-usage-cost-2026-08-24 beta header; one endpoint returns token and request counts, the other cost in USD (per the official docs)
group_by takes up to 5 dimensions, time buckets can be 1m, 1h, or 1d, and each filter accepts up to 100 values
Claude Console and Claude Enterprise organizations share the same endpoints and fields; it also works on Claude Platform on AWS and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed)
The old Usage and Cost API and four Enterprise Analytics usage and cost report endpoints are now legacy but still supported, with migration guides
Since Oct 28 the Messages and Token Counting APIs accept requests up to 128 MB instead of 32 MB (4x), on the first-party Claude API only

Anthropic expands GSA partnership: new OneGov deal gives all levels of US government 40% off Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government and the API

On Oct 27 Anthropic announced a new OneGov agreement with the US General Services Administration (GSA): government customers get 40% off Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government and the Claude API. For the first time the discount covers every product surface (direct purchases today, cloud-provider channels in the coming months) and extends to state, local, tribal and territorial governments. Anthropic estimates about $1 billion in savings, with no minimum spend and pay-as-you-go usage.

Key Takeaways

40% off Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government and the Claude API; direct purchases today, cloud-provider channels in the coming months (vendor-stated)
Anthropic estimates about $1 billion in government savings, with no minimum spend commitment and pay-for-what-you-use billing
About 500 US federal, state and local organizations use Claude; weekly Claude for Government active users are up about 8x since February and federal civilian usage is up about 20x in a year (vendor-stated)
Utah gave Claude Code to 34 developers across 10 agencies: 80% had a working environment within 30 minutes and 71% reported saving 20+ hours over a four-week pilot (vendor-stated)
Claude for Government went GA on Sep 30 at FedRAMP High; select Bedrock models hold DoD IL4/IL5, and Claude Enterprise is pursuing FedRAMP Moderate via FedRAMP 20x

Claude API ships version 2026-10-21, its first since 2023: sampling parameters removed, new major SDKs across languages

On Oct 21 Anthropic released Claude API version 2026-10-21, its first official version since 2023. It removes the temperature, top_p and top_k sampling parameters and drops old Admin API field names, while new SDK majors (Python 2.0, TypeScript 1.0, Go 2.0, Java 3.0 and more) default to it. Version 2023-06-01 is not deprecated.

Key Takeaways

Version: 2026-10-21 is the Claude API's first official version since 2023; 2023-06-01 is not deprecated and more frequent versions are planned
Breaking: sending temperature, top_p or top_k returns a 400 on every model; Claude 4.7+ models behave as before
SDKs: Python 2.0.0, TypeScript 1.0.0, Go 2.0.0 (/v2 path), Java 3.0.0, C# 13.0.0, Ruby 2.0.0, PHP 1.0.0, ant CLI 2.0.0
Auth: SDKs send the API key as Authorization: Bearer and hold 1 credential per client; SDK license moves to Apache 2.0
Platforms: Claude API, Claude Platform on AWS, Microsoft Foundry, Google Cloud; Bedrock only for Claude 4.7+, see the migration guide

Anthropic cuts Sonnet 5.5 cache reads to $0.10/MTok, adds $100–$200 monthly API credits to Max, ships Managed Agents automation playbook

Sonnet 5.5 cache hits now cost 0.05x base input ($0.10/MTok), which Anthropic says makes most agentic work ~20% cheaper. Max 5x/20x plans now include $100/$200 in monthly Claude API credits (Team $20–$100 per seat) usable on the API, Managed Agents and Agent SDK, alongside an official reference implementation for scheduled Managed Agents automations.

Key Takeaways

Sonnet 5.5 cache reads $0.20 to $0.10/MTok (0.05x base input); input $2 / output $10 unchanged; Opus 5.5 also 0.05x ($0.20/MTok)
Anthropic says ~20% cheaper on most agentic work; API only, Claude Code limits unchanged
Max 5x gets $100/mo, Max 20x $200/mo; Team $20 (Standard) / $100 (Premium) per seat, pooled up to $500; no rollover
Credits cover Claude API, Managed Agents, Agent SDK and playground, not Claude Code or app extra usage
Managed Agents bills tokens plus $0.08 per session-hour; official daily-brief template sets up via a Claude Code command

Claude Code 2.1.278: Auto Mode defaults to server-side classifier

Claude Code 2.1.278 changes Auto Mode for Claude API, Enterprise, and Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway users to default to the server-side classifier, which does not charge classifier overhead. Set CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 to opt out on gateways; billed fallback warns. /status adds an Auto mode server row for the session.

Key Takeaways

Auto Mode defaults to the server-side classifier with no classifier overhead; gateways can opt out via CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0.
Warns on billed fallback; see code.claude.com/docs/en/auto-mode-classifier-billing.
/status shows Auto mode server; notes at github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.278.

Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5.1; cache reads $0.25, ~25% cheaper typical jobs

Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5.1 on September 1 (API id claude-fable-5-1) for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise, plus the Claude API, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry. List price stays $10 input / $50 output per 1M tokens, but cache reads drop to $0.25 (75% less than Fable 5), which Anthropic estimates cuts typical workloads about 25% and highly agentic ones up to about 45%. Claude Mythos 5.1 remains limited to trusted-access programs.

Key Takeaways

Fable 5.1 is GA for Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise and the API as claude-fable-5-1.
List price stays $10/$50 per 1M tokens; cache reads are $0.25, about 25% cheaper typical jobs and up to ~45% on heavy agent workloads.
Mythos 5.1 stays trusted-access only. Fable 5.1 targets long-horizon coding; Devin said it is moving Opus 5 traffic onto it at launch.
