- ▸Model defaults and entitlements allow admins to control which Claude models are available and which models start new conversations by default

Summary
Anthropic has launched new administrative features for Claude Enterprise, providing organizations with granular visibility into Claude usage and costs. The update includes an enhanced analytics dashboard that breaks down usage and costs by team and individual user, alongside output metrics like artifacts created and skills used. Admins can now set model-level entitlements to control which Claude models are available to specific roles, establish spend-threshold alerts at 75% and 90% of limits, and extend visibility to end users so they can track their own consumption.
The new tools address the evolving nature of Claude adoption in enterprises, where increasingly complex agentic work creates different usage patterns than traditional chat applications. An enhanced Analytics Chat feature allows admins to ask natural language questions like "Which teams doubled their usage this month?" and receive exportable charts and insights. Additionally, usage and cost data is now available through an Analytics API, enabling organizations to integrate Claude spend data with existing financial management platforms like Datadog Cloud Cost Management and CloudZero.
- Enhanced Analytics Chat supports natural language queries for deeper insights, with exportable charts and adjustable productivity metrics
- Analytics API enables integration with existing cloud cost management tools for unified spend tracking across AI and cloud services
