Beating AI News: Multiple members of Anthropic’s Claude Code team have recently resigned in succession. On November 4, Cat Wu, product lead for Claude Code and Cowork, announced her departure from Anthropic. Earlier, engineers Thariq Shihipar and Anthony Morris, developer of Claude Code’s desktop version, had already announced their exit publicly on October 24. When Thariq left, he specifically recommended following Cat Wu to stay updated on Claude Code’s future developments. Unexpectedly, just 11 days later, Cat also announced her resignation. Cat had actually left Anthropic once before: in July 2025, she and Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, both moved to Cursor, only to return together two weeks later. This July, Jenny Wen, design lead for Claude and Cowork, also joined Cursor as design director. Still, Anthropic as a whole is expanding rapidly.
