🖥 Anthropic Releases Claude 3.7 Sonnet
Startup Anthropic has released a new version of its AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet. The company skipped version 3.6 in its numbering—its place is "unofficially" occupied by the intermediate Claude 3.5 Sonnet (new).
Main Features:
➡️ Claude 3.7 Sonnet is the first "hybrid" model that can respond quickly in standard mode and reflect before answering, achieving better results in mathematics, programming, physics, and other tasks.
"Just as humans use a single brain for both quick responses and deep reflection, we believe reasoning should be an integrated capability of frontier models rather than a separate model entirely," developers say.
➡️ The new model outperforms OpenAI's o3-mini-high and Grok 3 approximately 1.5 times in the SWE-bench Verified for autonomous coding, while lagging behind other reasoning models in mathematical benchmarks like MATH 500 and AIME 2024. Anthropic explicitly states that they optimized the model for real-world tasks rather than competition problems.
➡️ The developers focus on the model's security, ability to resist control takeover attempts in agent mode by prompt injection, and low response bias.
➡️ Claude 3.7 Sonnet is available for free—you can try it here. However, the reasoning mode is only available with a subscription.
🖥 Additionally, Anthropic is launching a preview version of the AI agent for programming Claude Code. This agent can read, edit, test, and fix code and upload it to GitHub through the command line. GitHub integration is available on the free tier.
It seems that Anthropic is no longer consciously trying to compete with OpenAI or Elon Musk's xAI in creating a universal chatbot. Instead, they focus on what they do great: the best model for programmers. Since the summer of 2024, Claude has remained the most popular coding assistant.
🔴 Claude 3.7 is already available on @GPT4Telegrambot. The reasoning mode will be integrated soon.
