Anthropic is putting auto mode in the driver's seat for Claude Code, making it the default behavior for new sessions starting August 14. The move follows months of internal testing that the company says shows its classifier is "as safe or safer than an average user clicking through prompts." The change applies to Pro, Max, and Team plans, while remaining opt-in on enterprise and cloud platforms for now.
