Anthropic Overhauls Claude Design, Fixes Token Problem

Anthropic has shipped a major update to Claude Design, two months after its April launch attracted over one million users in its first week. The overhaul addresses a critical flaw: the tool burned tokens so rapidly that one reviewer exhausted 80 percent of their weekly Claude Pro allowance in just 25 minutes. Beyond fixing token consumption, the update repositions Claude Design from a flashy prototype tool into a more serious product. New features include design system imports, code round-trips, and tighter integration with enterprise workflows, signaling Anthropic's ambitions for the tool as a design compliance layer.
