Monitoring
Learn how to enable and configure OpenTelemetry for Claude Code. Track Claude Code usage, costs, and tool activity across your organization by exporting telemetry data through OpenTelemetry (OTel). Claude Code exports metrics as time series data via the standard metrics protocol, events via the logs/events protocol, and optionally distributed traces via the traces protocol. Configure your metrics, logs, and traces backends to match your monitoring requirements. Configure OpenTelemetry using environment variables: export CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1 export OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=otlp # Options: otlp, prometheus, console, none export OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp # Options: otlp, console, none export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=grpc export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4317
Run Claude Code programmatically
Use the Agent SDK to run Claude Code programmatically from the CLI, Python, or TypeScript. Starting June 15, 2026, Agent SDK and `claude -p` usage on subscription plans will draw from a new monthly Agent SDK credit, separate from your interactive usage limits. See Use the Claude Agent SDK with your Claude plan for details. The Agent SDK gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code. It's available as a CLI for scripts and CI/CD, or as Python and TypeScript packages for full programmatic control. To run Claude Code in non-interactive mode, pass `-p` with your prompt and any CLI options: claude -p "Find and fix the bug in auth.py" --allowedTools "Read,Edit,Bash" This page covers using the Agent SDK via the CLI (`claude -p`). For the Python and…
Agent SDK reference - TypeScript
Complete API reference for the TypeScript Agent SDK, including all functions, types, and interfaces. npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk The SDK bundles a native Claude Code binary for your platform as an optional dependency such as `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-darwin-arm64`. You don't need to install Claude Code separately. If your package manager skips optional dependencies, the SDK throws `Native CLI binary for not found`; set `pathToClaudeCodeExecutable` to a separately installed `claude` binary instead. When you compile your application into a single-file executable with `bun build --compile`, the SDK cannot resolve the bundled CLI binary at runtime. `require.resolve` does not work inside the compiled executable's `$bunfs` virtual filesystem, so the SDK throws `Native CLI…
Agent SDK reference - Python
Complete API reference for the Python Agent SDK, including all functions, types, and classes. pip install claude-agent-sdk The Python SDK provides two ways to interact with Claude Code: | Feature | `query()` | `ClaudeSDKClient` | | :------------------ | :--------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------- | | **Session** | Creates a new session by default | Reuses same session | | **Conversation** | Single exchange | Multiple exchanges in same context | | **Connection** | Managed automatically | Manual control | | **Streaming Input** | ✅ Supported | ✅ Supported |
Intercept and control agent behavior with hooks
Intercept and customize agent behavior at key execution points with hooks Hooks are callback functions that run your code in response to agent events, like a tool being called, a session starting, or execution stopping. With hooks, you can: * **Block dangerous operations** before they execute, like destructive shell commands or unauthorized file access * **Log and audit** every tool call for compliance, debugging, or analytics * **Transform inputs and outputs** to sanitize data, inject credentials, or redirect file paths * **Require human approval** for sensitive actions like database writes or API calls * **Track session lifecycle** to manage state, clean up resources, or send notifications This guide covers how hooks work, how to configure them, and provides examples for common patterns…
Observability with OpenTelemetry
Export traces, metrics, and events from the Agent SDK to your observability backend using OpenTelemetry. When you run agents in production, you need visibility into what they did: * which tools they called * how long each model request took * how many tokens were spent * where failures occurred The Agent SDK can export this data as OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and log events to any backend that accepts the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), such as Honeycomb, Datadog, Grafana, Langfuse, or a self-hosted collector. This guide explains how the SDK emits telemetry, how to configure the export, and how to tag and filter the data once it reaches your backend. To read token usage and cost directly from the SDK response stream instead of exporting to a backend, see Track cost and usage. The Agent…
ITBench-AA: Frontier Models Score Below 50% on the First Benchmark for Agentic Enterprise IT Tasks — by Artificial Analysis and IBM
A Blog post by IBM Research on Hugging Face
Extending Human Intelligence Through AI
At a glance Modern AI systems are powerful not because they replicate human intelligence, but because they presuppose it, by extending structures already present in human cognition and language. This perspective helps explain both AI's remarkable capabilities and its recurring boundaries, including hallucinations and breakdowns in reasoning. This research argues that AI safety is a system-level challenge, shifting attention from "rogue AI" narratives toward harnessing engineering and governance. Understanding AI as an extension of human intelligence—not a replacement for it—offers a more grounded path for building trustworthy AI systems. AI systems today can write essays, generate code, summarize complex ideas, and carry on conversations with remarkable fluency. Yet those same systems…

Nvidia bets $150B on Taiwan as Trump's plan to make US an AI hub backfires
In a splashy move that signals that Taiwan remains irreplaceable to the AI industry's short-term and long-term goals, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced Wednesday that his chip company will invest $150 billion a year to make sure Taiwan remains at the "epicenter" of the "AI revolution." "This is where the chips come, packaging comes, this is where the systems are made, this is where AI supercomputers were created," Huang said. "The number of partners we work with here in Taiwan, incredible." As Reuters reported , the substantial investments will be used to create a new Taiwan headquarters for Nvidia, which Huang expects will drive so much AI innovation that the partnership will cement Taiwan as "the world's tech manufacturing hub for a long time." That ambitious project will be operational…

YouTube to begin automatically labeling AI videos
AI content creation tools like Google's new Omni model threaten to make reality even harder to discern from AI fantasy, but YouTube is taking an important step toward verifying video origins. After debuting wishy-washy AI content labeling in 2024, Google will begin using more prominent labeling for AI videos, and the site will no longer rely entirely on uploaders to divulge when they use AI tools to create a video. When YouTube first attempted to tackle the identification of AI videos in 2024, it was almost gratuitous. AI videos at the time nearly always outed themselves by looking bizarre or disjointed. In just a few years, AI models like Seedance, Runway, and Google's own Veo have raised the bar for realism and consistency in AI video— the spaghetti is more accurate than ever.…

AI tried to bury this politician — now people have actually heard of him
NY-12 congressional candidate Alex Bores speaks during a campaign event. | Bloomberg via Getty Images By the time that the Democratic primary for New York's 12th congressional district wraps up in June, Anthropic and OpenAI will have spent millions on their battle over the political future of AI: who gets to regulate it, or who will be punished for trying to regulate it. But the real winner of their feud may be the guy they're currently fighting over: a once-obscure New York state assemblyman, who they've Streisand-effected into becoming the poster child for AI safety regulation. Ever since late 2025, Leading the Future, a super PAC funded by OpenAI, Palantir, and a16z executives, has spent millions against Alex Bores, who wrote one of the … Read the full story at The Verge.

This smart bird feeder captures more of my backyard drama
This smart bird feeder sees more but with less whimsy. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Since moving to South Carolina's Lowcountry, I've been spellbound by the myriad of beautiful birds that share the coast with us - ospreys raising their babies in towering nests beside the road to my daughter's school, roseate spoonbills wading in the marsh on my morning walks, eagles circling over my son's tennis matches, and a constant parade of songbirds through my backyard. The challenge, as every birder knows, lies in catching these moments. And for that, a smart bird feeder is a fabulous tool. These use a small, motion-activated camera embedded in a feeder to capture photos and video of birds visiting your backyard, which you can watch … Read the full story at The Verge.

YouTube has announced that it's relocating AI disclosures on Shorts and long-form videos to make them easier to spot and will start automatically identifying and labeling AI-generated content on the platform. For regular YouTube videos, the label - which says "AI" next to a recognizable information symbol - will now appear directly below the video player, above the description. Currently, this information is hidden on the videos themselves and can only be viewed by expanding the video description and checki … Read the full story at The Verge.

The AI fight brewing inside The New York Times
Yellow taxis pass in front of The New York Times newspaper building. | Alexandra Schuler/dpa (Photo by Alexandra Schuler/picture alliance via Getty Images) How newsrooms should use AI - or if they should at all - has been a recurrent debate within the media industry over the last several years. Increasingly, these rules are being hammered out at the bargaining table between unions and publishers. Right now, employees at The New York Times are gearing up for a fight. Unionized staff with the Tech Guild say Times management has refused to provide the union with information related to how the company has used AI, its plans for AI use in the future, and how it will affect employees' jobs and workflow. (The union filed an unfair labor practice charge earlier this month.) The Tech Guild, a…

US law enforcement warns of "anti-tech extremism" as AI hatred grows
In the wake of attacks on CEOs, a nationwide protest movement targeting data centers, and increasing concerns about AI job replacement, federal intelligence agencies and domestic law enforcement are circulating reports with a new domestic target in mind: anti-technology extremists. More than 1,000 pages of unpublished reports from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and fusion centers obtained by WIRED show a national shift taking place to surveil this new and worryingly broad category of people and activities deemed an emerging threat. This new effort follows President Donald Trump's National Security Presidential Memo 7 , which instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding "anti-American," "anti-Christian," and "anti-capitalism" beliefs. Earlier this month, Trump's…
