Claude 3.7 Sonnet Breaks Ground With Hybrid Reasoning Tech

Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet introduces a "hybrid AI reasoning model," combining rapid responses with deep thinking. This allows the AI to process information like human cognition while also providing quick answers.

Details:

• Claude 3.7 Sonnet is a unified model, with premium users utilizing advanced features. Pricing is $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens

• The "visible scratch pad" shows the model's reasoning, achieving 62.3% accuracy in coding tasks and 81.2% in retail, outperforming OpenAI models

• Anthropic improved the model's query handling, reducing refusals while maintaining safety. Developers can adjust the "thinking budget" for speed, cost, and quality via the API
