What's Wrong?
When I went to install a new version of Claude Code today from Homebrew, the cask only contains an x86_64 binary for Intel processors — version 2.1.72. This is a packaging issue on Anthropic's side. The cask is distributing an Intel-only binary even for Apple Silicon Macs. When I launch Claude it runs it under Rosetta.
What Should Happen?
The cask should contain an Apple Silicon version. Please update cask to include an Apple Silicon version.
