Why it matters: Anthropic’s new AI model introduces reasoning capabilities that show the AI’s thought process alongside responses, potentially changing how users approach complex problem-solving with AI assistants.
New model arrives on Claude.ai platform
Claude 3.7 Sonnet is now available on Claude.ai, described by Anthropic as their most advanced model to date.
The company characterizes it as a “hybrid reasoning model” designed to handle coding tasks while offering improvements in content generation, data analysis, and planning capabilities.
“Extended thinking” feature debuts
The model includes a notable new function that displays Claude’s reasoning process alongside its answers, which Anthropic reports improves performance in technical domains:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Complex coding problems
Users can access both standard quick responses and more detailed analysis depending on their needs.
GitHub integration available across subscription tiers
Anthropic has expanded its GitHub integration to all Claude plans, allowing developers to connect their code repositories to the AI assistant.
This connection provides Claude with context from both personal and open source projects. According to Anthropic, this enhancement aims to support:
- Bug fixes
- Feature development
- Documentation
Additional information about enabling the GitHub integration is available in Anthropic’s Help Center.
