Read time: under 4 minutes

Welcome back, Superhuman. If you’re confused by the names that AI companies pick for their latest models, you’re not alone. Anthropic just released the world’s first-ever hybrid reasoning model and they’re calling it *checks notes* Claude 3.7 Sonnet (sigh). Fortunately, the new model packs more punch than the name suggests.

TODAY IN AI

1. Anthropic reveals Claude 3.7 Sonnet: When it comes to coding, Anthropic’s new frontier model, Claude 3.7, just left OpenAI and DeepSeek’s offerings in the dust. And for the first time, it can show its thought process when solving complicated problems. We’ll dive into all the details below.

2. Apple’s answer to Project Stargate: Apple plans to spend $500B in the US over the next four years, matching the amount that OpenAI and SoftBank are putting into their own Stargate infrastructure plan. The iPhone maker also plans to hire 20,000 new employees for research, software, and AI. Plus, a sprawling, 250,000-square-foot server plant in Houston could open as soon as 2026. Finally, while ChatGPT already works with Apple Intelligence, it looks like Gemini integration is coming soon, too.

3. Critics challenge Grok 3’s benchmark scores: OpenAI’s Boris Power has accused xAI of juicing the numbers on Grok 3’s latest tests. xAI allegedly showed Grok outperforming OpenAI’s o3-mini-high, but left out an important detail. The startup used a method called consensus@64 — letting its model take 64 guesses, which typically leads to better results — while failing to do the same for OpenAI’s models. In xAI’s defense, co-founder Igor Babuschkin pointed out that the startup made this clear on each of its charts — and that OpenAI frequently uses the same tactic.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet packs a serious punch

Only a week after Grok 3 walked away with the title of “world’s smartest” model, Anthropic is here to snatch it away. It just released Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which is now considered the top LLM for both coding and agentic tasks.

Coding:

• Claude 3.7 Sonnet achieves a 62.3% (or 70.3% when it’s paired with other tools) on the industry-standard SWE benchmark, compared to 49.3% for OpenAI’s o3-mini and 49.2% for DeepSeek’s R1.

• It’s already available in the popular AI coding platform Cursor. Box is also using Claude 3.7 for enhanced reasoning and complex tasks.

• Meanwhile, a new research preview called Claude Code lets users hand “substantial engineering tasks to Claude directly from their terminal.”

Reasoning:

• Claude users can now choose “extended thinking mode” for more in-depth tasks. What’s unique is that instead of toggling between two different models, the same LLM can simply think for longer, and with more intensity, to tackle trickier, multi-step prompts. You’ll also get to see Claude’s thinking process for the first time.

What’s next:

• By the end of the year, Claude will be able to tackle hours of in-depth work for you, at the same level as experts. And in just two years, Anthropic predicts that Claude will solve problems “that would have taken teams years to achieve.”

• With OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 right around the corner, it’ll be interesting to see how long Anthropic can hold onto its lead.
