Anthropic adds server-side message threads and extends text watermark to older Claude models

According to a post on X by @ClaudeDevs, the Messages API now keeps conversations on Anthropic's servers between turns, and Anthropic says median time to first token in Claude Code fell about 35% on very long requests. A notice to API customers says the invisible text watermark will apply to Mythos 5, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 from Nov 3. The post also says Claude Code now avoids recreating other people's games.

Developers building on the Messages API may need to review how conversation state is handled between turns. API customers using the listed models should prepare for the watermark from Nov 3. The 35% speed figure is Anthropic's own claim and has not been independently checked here.

Developers may have a new tool, API, or workflow change worth testing against their own stack.
