Anthropic will make Claude Code's autonomous 'auto mode' the default for paid Pro, Max, and Team plans starting August 14, 2026, citing safety data showing it outperforms human review.
- Auto mode caught 89% of dangerous commands vs 13.6% by human reviewers in a 1,053-tester study
- 720 prompt injection attacks tested by Trajectory Labs — none succeeded
- Users approve 97% of permission prompts, often reflexively after many prompts
- Auto mode users ship ~25% more pull requests
- Reverts to manual approval after 3 consecutive or 20 total session blocks
