Anthropic has rolled out significant updates for its Team and Enterprise customers, introducing premium seats with Claude Code, enhanced admin controls, and a powerful Compliance API designed for governance, observability, and seamless scaling across large organizations.

The update represents one of Anthropic’s biggest pushes yet to bring AI-assisted development and compliance-ready infrastructure under a single, enterprise-grade subscription model.

Premium Seats Bring Claude and Claude Code Together

Enterprise and Team users can now upgrade to premium seats that combine the conversational power of Claude with its specialized programming assistant, Claude Code.

This integration allows users to move fluidly from brainstorming ideas and debating system architectures to actually writing production-ready code in the terminal—all under one subscription.

• Admins can mix and match seats: Premium licenses can be assigned based on role, giving developers access to both Claude and Claude Code, while other team members remain on standard plans.
• End-to-end workflow support: Developers can research unfamiliar frameworks, explore architecture trade-offs with Claude, and immediately implement them through Claude Code.

Early Customer Impact: Faster, Smarter Development

Several early adopters are already reporting transformational results:

Behavox, a leading compliance and security company, has onboarded hundreds of developers on Claude + Claude Code.

Since bundling Claude for Enterprise with Claude Code, we’ve rolled it out to hundreds of developers, and it has quickly become our go-to pair programmer. Its coding assistance consistently outperforms other agents, delivering superior results and value every day.

Altana, an AI-powered supply chain intelligence platform, reported a 2x to 10x acceleration in development velocity.

Claude Code and Claude have accelerated Altana's development velocity by 2-10x, transforming how we build sophisticated AI/ML systems that facilitate multi-party collaboration on large-scale knowledge graphs of global supply chains. We're taking on significantly more ambitious projects as a result.

Pricing Structure: Flexibility Meets Predictability

Anthropic is positioning the new model as cost-effective yet scalable:

• Base usage included: Seats cover the typical needs of a workday.
• On-demand expansion: Teams requiring extra compute or additional conversations with Claude can enable more usage at standard API rates.
• Spend caps and predictability: Admins can set per-user or org-wide spending limits, preventing budget overruns while allowing flexibility for critical projects.

This ensures organizations can scale usage intelligently without losing control over budgeting.

New Admin Controls for Large-Scale AI Adoption

Alongside premium seats, Anthropic is introducing a comprehensive suite of admin features to help companies better manage Claude at scale:

• Self-Serve Management: Purchase and allocate seats directly from the admin console.
• Granular Spend Controls: Set project-level or user-level limits.
• Usage Analytics: Track Claude Code performance, including lines of code accepted and user adoption metrics.
• Policy Enforcement Tools: Configure file access restrictions, tool permissions, and secure MCP server setups organization-wide.

Introducing the Compliance API: Real-Time Governance

Perhaps the most enterprise-critical feature is the launch of the Compliance API, designed for industries with strict audit and governance needs.

With the Compliance API, organizations gain:

• Real-time access to Claude usage data and customer interactions.
• Automated oversight with the ability to continuously flag potential issues instead of relying on manual audits.
• Customizable retention controls, allowing selective deletion of sensitive data.

These features directly address regulatory requirements in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government, where compliance and data security are non-negotiable.
