- Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4, an advanced AI technology capable of writing code autonomously for extended durations.
- The startup, backed by Alphabet and Amazon, aims to enhance AI’s autonomous capabilities.
- Opus 4 demonstrated coding for nearly seven hours and played a 24-hour Pokemon game, significantly improving from the 45-minute capacity of Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
- Anthropic’s models provide rapid responses while also allowing for thorough reasoning and web searches.
- The Claude Code tool for software developers is now generally available after a preview in February.
