Rush Cloud runs Claude Code. This page also describes Anthropic's own web product without an attack line.

The short answer

Anthropic's web product for a Claude-only research preview. Rush for a team Project that can also run Codex. GitHub's preview if the trigger must stay an issue on github.com.

The useful distinction

The query is owned by Anthropic docs. The commercial question is which runtime holds the session: Anthropic, Rush, or GitHub's third-party agent preview.

Routing

If youUseNot if
Want Anthropic to host Claude Code and nothing elseClaude Code on the webThe org is ZDR, or you must push to GitLab

Honest limits

Skip Rush if

  • You need a team that already runs Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode. Rush does not invent a fourth harness.
  • Sandboxes are us-west-2. Customer VPC is roadmap. A signed compliance report is not something we publish today.
  • Compute is metered. Sixty minutes are included per user per calendar month. The invoice bills sandbox time after that allowance.
  • You will review the PR. Rush does not merge for you.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Can I use Rush and the vendor cloud side by side?

Yes. Many teams keep Claude Code on the web or Cursor Cloud Agents for a single-vendor loop and put Rush on the tasks that need a shared Project, a second harness, or a trajectory they can hand to a reviewer.

Does Rush replace Claude Code or Codex?

No. Rush runs those binaries. You keep the seat or the key. Rush is the runtime.

Where does the code go when I leave?

Anything pushed to your GitHub remote stays there. That is the off-ramp on every product in this set, including Rush.

Does ~/.claude come with me?

Anthropic docs: user-local ~/.claude does not carry over to the web. Rush starts from the repo and Project Skills. Put the durable instructions in the repository.
