CNBC / Anthropic·high signal

Anthropic launched Claude Managed Agents in public beta on April 8, offering sandboxed code execution, checkpointing, credential management, and scoped permissions at $0.08/session-hour plus standard token rates. The launch triggered immediate SaaS sell-offs: Akamai -16.6%, Cloudflare -13.5%, DigitalOcean -13.4%. The broader SaaS sector has lost $1.4T in market cap since January 2025 as Claude agents compress the seat-based software revenue model.
