Code with Claude San Francisco 2026

At Code with Claude, Anthropic usually hosts keynotes, technical talks, workshops, demos, office hours, and recorded sessions across different developer tracks.

The San Francisco 2026 event included tracks for Research, Claude Platform, and Claude Code, giving attendees a way to follow the topics most relevant to their work.

For developers and product teams, the event gives a closer look at how Claude is being used for coding, model selection, production workflows, AI-native engineering, managed agents, platform integrations, and real-world developer tools.

Code with Claude San Francisco 2026 happened on May 6, 2026, in San Francisco, California. Anthropic's official page now says the San Francisco event has wrapped and that recordings are available for people who missed the sessions.

The event focused on practical AI-assisted development, with sessions around Claude Code, the Claude Platform, research updates, AI-native engineering teams, and production-ready agent workflows.

Code with Claude San Francisco 2026 was built around recorded keynotes, product updates, workshops, and technical sessions. The opening keynote featured Anthropic leaders including Ami Vora, Dianne Penn, Angela Jiang, Katelyn Lesse, Cat Wu, and Boris Cherny.

The strongest signal from the event was Anthropic's push toward practical AI development. Code with Claude San Francisco was not just about showing Claude as a chatbot. It showed Claude as part of the developer workflow, from writing and reviewing code to building agents, testing models, connecting tools, and moving AI systems closer to production.

Anthropic also hosted Code with Claude: Extended San Francisco on May 7, 2026. This second event was created because demand for in-person attendance exceeded expectations.

Anthropic says the Extended event was built for independent developers and early-stage founders, with founder stories, builder deep-dives, and hands-on workshops from the Applied AI team. The main Code with Claude event focused on what is new across Claude and Anthropic's developer platform; the Extended event focused more on how builders and founders are using Claude in real projects.

Anthropic also says Code with Claude: Extended was not livestreamed, but sessions would be recorded and made publicly available after the event.

Code with Claude San Francisco matters because it shows how Anthropic is turning Claude into a practical development platform. The event connects Claude Code, the Claude Platform, AI agents, model evaluation, and production workflows into one developer-focused experience.

For developers, it offers practical sessions on coding, model selection, prompting, and agent workflows. For founders, it shows how Claude can support product building, prototyping, automation, and early technical execution. For engineering leaders, it gives a view of how AI-assisted coding may change team workflows, developer productivity, and internal tooling. For product teams, it highlights how Claude can be used inside real apps, platforms, and customer-facing AI systems.
