Anthropic's next leap in coding, reasoning & AI agents
Anthropic's Claude 4 models, Opus 4 & Sonnet 4, set new AI benchmarks in coding, reasoning & agents. Both feature extended thinking with tool use & improved memory.
Claude 4 is here!! Anthropic's next generation of models, including the powerful Claude Opus 4 and an upgraded Claude Sonnet 4, has arrived. They're aiming high with this release, especially for coding, advanced reasoning, and building more capable AI agents.
A key new feature for both is "extended thinking with tool use." This allows them to use tools like web search while working on complex problems, which is a big step for more capable agent-like tasks. They've also got improved memory and follow instructions more precisely.
Alongside the new models, Claude Code is now generally available. It brings Claude's help right into your dev workflow with VS Code, JetBrains, and GitHub integrations. You can try Sonnet 4 for free, with Opus 4 on paid plans and various APIs.
