Anthropic scales up with enterprise features for Claude Cowork and Managed Agents
Anthropic shipped the Lambda of agent infrastructure: Managed Agents virtualizes brain, hands, and session into OS-style abstractions designed to outlast any particular harness implementation. The $0.08/runtime-hour fee is the tell — the competition is no longer model quality, it's who owns the runtime layer where switching costs compound. Meanwhile, Cowork going GA confirms the pattern: non-engineering teams are now the majority of users, and their use cases are workflow augmentation, not SaaS replacement.
