Anthropic Unveils Claude 3.7 Sonnet – A New Coding Powerhouse?

Just a week after Grok 3 claimed the title of the "world’s smartest" AI model, Anthropic is here to challenge that with the release of Claude 3.7 Sonnet—now recognized as the top LLM for both coding and agentic tasks.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet Takes the AI Crown – But for How Long? 🤖👑

Coding Excellence🔹

Claude 3.7 Sonnet scores an impressive 62.3% on the industry-standard SWE benchmark (or 70.3% when paired with external tools), outperforming:

OpenAI’s o3-mini: 49.3%

DeepSeek’s R1: 49.2%

It’s already integrated into the Cursor coding platform and is being used by Box for enhanced reasoning and complex tasks. Plus, the Claude Code research preview allows engineers to delegate substantial tasks to Claude directly from their terminal.

Breakthrough in Reasoning 🧠 

Claude users can now activate "extended thinking mode" for deeper, multi-step tasks. Instead of switching between models, Claude 3.7 can “think” longer and more intensely, offering insights into its problem-solving process—a first for Anthropic.

What’s Next?

By the end of 2025, Anthropic envisions Claude handling hours of expert-level work and, within two years, solving problems that previously took entire teams years to crack.

But with OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 on the horizon, can Anthropic maintain its lead?

Apple is investing $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, matching OpenAI and SoftBank’s Stargate plan. The company will hire 20,000 employees and build a 250,000-square-foot server facility in Houston by 2026, with Gemini integration possibly coming soon.

🔳 Did xAI Boost Grok 3’s Scores? 

OpenAI’s Boris Power accused xAI of inflating Grok 3’s test scores by using consensus@64—allowing 64 guesses per question—without applying the same method to OpenAI’s models. xAI’s Igor Babuschkin defended the practice, noting OpenAI also uses similar techniques.
