Anthropic AI unveils Claude 3.7 Sonnet, their most intelligent AI model to date

The Claude 3.7 Sonnet is Anthropic AI’s most recent AI model. It is the first hybrid reasoning model based on the Claude 3.6 and 3.5 Sonnets. The model can handle increasingly complicated problems while simultaneously improving its arithmetic and coding skills.

Additionally, Claude Code, a coding tool, was given a “limited research preview” by the AI startup. “An active collaborator that can search and read code, edit files, write and run tests, commit and push code to GitHub, and use command-line tools,” Anthropic wrote in the blog post announcing the release.

Similar to previous AI reasoning models, Claude 3.7 Sonnet features an expanded thinking mode and chain of thought that lets users choose how many tokens the model should spend on a given issue.

The model outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-4o, scoring 62.3 percent on the SWE-Bench, which evaluates GitHub issue-solving skills, and 70.3 percent when extended thinking mode is enabled. It received scores of 83.2 percent on the Multilingual Understanding standard and 86 percent on the extended thinking benchmark. Additionally, the Claude 3.7 Sonnet outperformed GPT-4o on coding and agentic activities. 

Through Anthropic’s API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, Claude 3.7 Sonnet will be accessible in the Claude app on Monday. It will cost $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, which is more than the GPT-40 Mini, which costs $1.10 per million input tokens and $4.40 per million output tokens.

Separately, Niki Parmar, a former Google Brain researcher and co-author of the groundbreaking Transformers article that sparked the movement toward GenAI technology, has joined Anthropic AI. After joining the OpenAI competitor in December of last year, Parmar, who left Google in 2021 to co-found Adept AI Labs and Essential AI, shared the news on X, expressing her excitement at having helped build the Claude 3.7.
