# Code with Claude 2026: Managed Agents "dreaming" and doubled Claude Code limits

Full title: Code with Claude 2026: Managed Agents "dreaming", doubled Claude Code limits and SpaceX Colossus 1 compute deal

Anthropic's second Code with Claude developer conference (San Francisco, May 6–7, 2026; London May 19; Tokyo June 10) brought new Managed Agents capabilities (dreaming, outcomes, multi-agent orchestration), doubled Claude Code five-hour rate limits, and, per third-party recaps, a compute deal to use all of SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center (220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs, 300+ MW).

## Key facts
- San Francisco May 6 (plus indie/founder day), London May 19, Tokyo June 10
- Managed Agents: 'dreaming' (agents rehearse on past data), outcomes, multi-agent orchestration
- Claude Code five-hour rate limits doubled across Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise; peak-hour throttle lifted
- Reported SpaceX Colossus 1 compute partnership: >220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, >300 MW (third-party recap, not verified from primary source)
- Later (X reply, ~July 10, 2026, per Outlook Business): asked whether SpaceXAI could hurt Anthropic by ending the Colossus 1 lease (~$1.25B/month through May 2029, 90 days' notice, per SpaceX's S-1 via Business Insider), Musk wrote 'I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI' and 'I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor'; the quote resurfaced in Stocktwits headlines on Oct 17, 2026

## What happened

Other May launches around the conference, per a third-party timeline: a Skills marketplace (~600 skills, May 1), Claude Platform on AWS GA (May 11), the Claude Code `/goal` command (May 12), and the acquisition of Stainless (SDK tooling, May 18).

## Why it matters

The conference marked Anthropic's shift toward hosted agents and showed how much compute it was lining up, including from Elon Musk's SpaceX/xAI infrastructure.
