New Claude Code Background Sub Agents Are GAME CHANGING

Description

Anthropic are COOKING over at Claude code's headquarters - their latest update, background sub agents are great - check them out today thanks for watching and PEACE Hamish 🔥 I discovered something in Claude Code that nobody's talking about yet: background sub-agents that keep running while you continue working. This might be a stealth update from Anthropic or something specific to the Sonnet 1M token model, but it completely changes how you can work with Claude Code. ⚡ What's different about background agents: → Spawn multiple sub-agents that run in the background → Press Escape WITHOUT cancelling your agents → Continue giving Claude new instructions while agents work → Results automatically feed back into your main conversation → Add testing/validation as each agent completes 💡 The 1M context model bonus: → Switch from Max plan to API + 1M model to reset context instantly → Never run /compact again (context is huge enough you won't notice) → Spawn way more agents in a single conversation ⚠️ Cost warning: → I spent $724 in one day using this method → 504 million tokens in a single session → Only do this if you have budget to burn → Was it worth it? Yes, for rebuilding SEO Grove entirely 🚀 What I'd love to see added: → Ability to give input to individual sub-agents while they run → That would make this the most OP coding system ever This is genuinely a game-changer for large projects. Anthropic is cooking something special.
