Anthropic ships major Claude Design overhaul with design system imports, code round-trips, and a fix for its token-burning problem

Anthropic has launched a major overhaul of Claude Design, its AI design tool released in April. The update addresses critical pain points, specifically fixing a token-burning problem that previously exhausted user allowances rapidly. Key improvements include better adherence to design systems, more finely-tuned editing controls, and enhanced consistency across generated prototypes. These changes allow both designers and non-designers to create prototypes more efficiently while consuming fewer tokens than the initial research preview version.
