Anthropic redesigned Claude Projects to coordinate multi-threaded work on development tasks. Projects now feature a coordinator that delegates work across parallel threads, each running as a Claude Code cloud session, with shared memory that accumulates project context over time. The redesigned experience is available in beta to select Claude Pro and Max subscribers using cloud sessions in Claude Code.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://claude.com/blog/projects-redesigned:

> Claude scopes the request, delegates the work, coordinates parallel threads, reviews the outputs, and assembles the finished result. You can steer progress throughout, even from your phone, and it keeps working after you step away from your computer.
