Problem Statement

Hey guys. I recently heard about Cowork and REALLY wanted to give a try (this would be game-changing for my workflow), but sadly it looks like this only works on Apple Silicon chips for now, even on a MAX subscription. Can we please have x86 support? My Intel i9 iMac is still a beast and works perfectly on the latest macOS, but of course it has an Intel chip. I would much rather not have to replace a perfectly working mac that I've had for less than 5 years and was a top dollar machine at the time. Please tell me there are plans for x86 support? Thanks!

Proposed Solution

Create a version of Claude Code that supports x86 CPUs.

Alternative Solutions

Support for Windows 11 would also be OK, I'm not opposed to installing Windows on my Mac if needed.

Priority

Critical - Blocking my work

Use Case Example

Open Claude Code on macOS on an Intel Mac, click on "Cowork" and it works as expected.
