Anthropic has introduced “Message Threads” in public beta on the Claude Platform, aiming to make Claude AI faster during long-running sessions. The feature is designed to reduce latency by avoiding the need to resend the entire conversation history with every API request.
Across the coverage, outlets describe how developers and AI agents can send a full conversation once, and then submit only new messages for subsequent requests. Anthropic positions the change as particularly beneficial for very long sessions, where the company reports improved “time to first token” performance for requests in a large token range.
India Today highlights the rollout and speed-focused benefit, while NDTV and The Next Web provide more specifics about how the feature works and the reported improvement. NDTV also notes that Message Threads are enabled by default for most Claude Code users, and The Next Web states that pricing and rate limits remain unchanged.
