Pick how people use their agent and see the tokens, chips, memory, electricity and bill — and which constraint runs out first. Claude Duet was announced October 21, 2026 as a US Pro and Max waitlist research preview. Anthropic confirms a cloud VM and browser, Opus 5.5, and background checks every few hours that share Claude usage limits. VM shape, internal operating cost and independent task performance are not disclosed; Duet contributes no numeric inputs to these estimates.
