Anthropic ships faster-starting Claude Code CLI with smaller Linux build and lower memory use
Anthropic announced performance improvements to the Claude Code CLI: startup no longer blocks on sandbox and MCP server initialization, letting users type immediately. The Linux x64 download shrank 4.5x to ~75 MB, and native builds use 40–70 MB less memory per session. The changes reduce friction for daily CLI users and CI environments.
