New features include Cost Analytics API, per-developer AWS attribution, pooled group budgets, and message threads to reduce token usage.

Anthropic released four updates designed to reduce API and infrastructure costs for Claude users.
Cost Analytics API in Claude Apps Gateway allows pulling spend reports by date, developer, day, or IdP group, with new OpenTelemetry tags for seat types and plans.
Claude Code added role assumption for per-developer AWS attribution, enabling tracing of AWS charges to individual developers.
Pooled Group Budgets allow setting shared monthly spending caps across teams alongside individual user caps.
Message Threads in the Messages API let agents send only the newest changes instead of the entire prompt history, reducing token costs.
