Anthropic adds dynamic workflows to Claude Managed Agents
What happened
On 10 October 2026, The Decoder reported that Anthropic added a dynamic workflows feature to Claude Managed Agents: a main agent draws up a plan, distributes tasks to sub-agents and aggregates the results, with up to 1,000 agents running in parallel in a single execution. On 13 October, Latent Space reported that Anthropic engineers CJ Avilla and Harrison Stall presented the feature at AI Engineer NYC, calling it dynamic workflows (flows for short), a new multi-agent orchestration approach for large-scale tasks, and noted that it was released the previous Friday. Earlier reports did not mention the launch timing, scope or previous versions; later reports added the release timing and the official presentation venue.
