Faster Streaming on Claude Web and Desktop

Long Claude answers now appear more smoothly as they are written, in the browser and the desktop app. Nothing to switch on.

Details

  • Anthropic rebuilt the part of the app that draws the answer so it only redraws the text still changing, instead of the whole reply each time
  • A long reply stalls 9 times less often on a slower laptop, and its longest freeze is 4.5 times shorter
  • On a 120Hz MacBook the answer holds 120 frames per second from the start of the reply to the end
  • Applies to Claude on the web and the desktop app, with no setting to change

Best for

long Claude replies that used to stutter or freeze while they were still being written

When to use it

you read answers as they arrive rather than waiting for them to finish, especially on an older machine

Who benefits

anyone using Claude in a browser or the desktop app, with the biggest difference on slower laptops
