The one thing
01Claude Cowork is on web and mobile for every paid plan — still beta.
Anthropic's help center: web and mobile Cowork is beta for Pro, Max, and Team; Enterprise needs an admin enable. Sessions and files ride the Claude account across desktop, web, and phone. Cloud tasks keep running with the laptop closed; local folders and computer use still need the desktop app online.12
Product page: included on Pro, Max, and Enterprise; Team on the access matrix. Gmail send and Google Drive file management are in the same window's connector write path (secondary reports); treat connector scope as a permission review, not a free upgrade.34
Deeper — surfaces and limits
- Web: claude.ai. Mobile: latest iOS/Android apps.12
- Chrome side panel Cowork: Max and Team; Pro as rollout reaches you; Enterprise with admin enable.1
- Live artifacts: desktop only on the surface matrix.1
- Safety doc still labels cloud execution beta; prompt-injection guidance is the real constraint when connectors can write.5

02Codex rust-v0.148.0 · /export, session fork, Bedrock Runtime, thread cost
TUI can /export a full conversation to Markdown (clipboard or file). codex exec fork plus archive/restore in the resume picker. /status and status lines show estimated thread credits/cost where the workspace allows. Amazon Bedrock Runtime is a built-in provider (AWS profile, region, GPT-5.6 routing). Hooks may run async and call MCP tools. Sandbox path denials fail closed on Linux and Windows.6
openai-python 3.3.0 · named data-residency endpoints
Official Python SDK adds named data-residency endpoints, plus a fix that requires patched optional networking dependencies.7
Promised, not shipped
Origin agent-native source-control features — "ship soon" (issue 011) · Claude Code /design skill — research preview via vendor posts; no version line in v2.1.235 notes · MAI-Code-1-Flash removed from Copilot — 10 Sept 2026 · Grok Bot enterprise — waitlist, no date · OpenAI Ultrafast (GPT-5.6 Sol, Cerebras) — limited preview expands with capacity
The conversation
01The $20 Claude plan now carries the same cross-device agent surface Max had first, while Codex finally shows what a thread costs and can fork it.16

Field notes on model quality vs harness lock-in during a 2.7h minor multi-model degradation — colour, not a bench.89
Enable Cowork on Pro if cross-device handoff is the gap; leave write connectors on manual approve. Upgrade Codex for export, fork, and visible thread cost. Pin openai-python if residency endpoints are on your checklist.
