TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Anthropic launches Claude Cowork on mobile and web. The AI platform expands from desktop-only to iOS, Android, and browsers, starting with Max subscribers. Cloud becomes the default for task execution, supporting background runs and cross-device access. Phone notifications handle reviews, and usage limits extend through August. Desktop maintains local file access.

Anthropic has launched Claude Cowork on mobile and web for the first time. The AI platform, previously limited to the Claude desktop app for macOS and Windows, begins rolling out Tuesday to Max subscribers with broader availability for other Claude users in the coming weeks.

Claude Cowork expands beyond desktop. Users on iOS and Android can now access the platform alongside web support. Anthropic notes that the full experience remains on the desktop app, including local file access.
This allows users to continue tasks across devices or keep them running in the background even when their laptop is closed.

The rollout prioritizes Max subscribers starting July 7, 2026. Other plans will gain access progressively in the coming weeks.

Cloud execution becomes the default. Cowork sessions now run in the cloud by default. This allows users to continue tasks across devices or keep them running in the background even when their laptop is closed.

An option for local processing stays available in the desktop app, where users can switch between cloud and local modes. Scheduled tasks will now execute even if no devices are online.
Claude can send notifications to a user's phone when a Cowork task requires review or approval.

Notifications and extended usage limits added. Claude can send notifications to a user's phone when a Cowork task requires review or approval. Alongside the mobile and web launch, Anthropic is extending its doubled Cowork usage limits through August 5, 2026.
The changes position Claude Cowork as more persistent and accessible. Desktop retains its advantages for certain features while cloud handling broadens availability.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Samsung to Return Up to $80 Billion to Shareholders in 2026

Samsung Electronics expects 90 trillion won to 110 trillion won available for shareholder returns in 2026, labeling the amount the largest ever by a Korean company. The disclosure follows SK Hynix's buyback announcement and reflects the windfall from AI-fueled memory chip sales.

Apple Music Will Require and Display Made With AI Labels

Apple will apply visible Made With AI labels to songs materially generated using AI on Apple Music, making required Transparency Tags mandatory for material AI use. The change addresses the fact that more than a third of monthly uploads are 100% AI-generated while such tracks represent less than 0.5% of listening.

IBM AIX 7.2, 7.3 and PowerVM VIOS 4.1 Face High-Severity Flaw

IBM disclosed CVE-2026-16841, a high-severity stack buffer overflow in AIX 7.2, 7.3 and PowerVM VIOS 4.1 that could allow remote arbitrary code execution with a CVSS score of 8.8. The flaw, published August 19 2026, requires prompt patching on affected enterprise Unix and virtualization platforms.
