Claude Code Week 17: /ultrareview public preview, session recaps, custom themes
Anthropic has opened /ultrareview as a public research preview — a cloud-based fleet of bug-hunting agents that asynchronously analyze code and deliver findings back to the CLI or Desktop client. This week also adds session recap (summarizing terminal activity during unfocused periods) and a custom theming system via /theme or plugins. These updates continue Claude Code's rapid iteration toward autonomous, multi-agent software development workflows.

Claude Opus 4.7 becomes default on Max/Team; Routines and /ultrareview land in Week 16
Claude Opus 4.7 is now the default model for Max and Team Premium tiers in Claude Code, with a new 'xhigh' effort level as the recommended setting for most coding tasks and an interactive /effort slider for real-time tuning. Routines on the web UI enable templated cloud agent runs triggered by schedules, GitHub events, or API calls — adding event-driven automation to the platform. The parallel multi-agent /ultrareview feature also debuted this week before its public preview launch.

KARL: Reinforcement learning framework aligns LLM abstention with evolving knowledge boundaries
KARL introduces a Knowledge-Boundary-Aware Reward mechanism that dynamically estimates what a model knows during training using within-group response statistics, then rewards either correct answers or principled abstention accordingly. Unlike static RL reward schemes that often cause models to over-abstain, KARL continuously updates the boundary estimate as the model learns. Experiments show improved calibration between abstention rates and actual model knowledge, reducing hallucinations without sacrificing accuracy on answerable questions.
