Anthropic last week launched Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, which offer advanced features in coding, reasoning, and AI agents.

“Claude Opus 4 is the world’s best coding model, with sustained performance on complex, long-running tasks and agent workflows. Claude Sonnet 4 is a significant upgrade to Claude Sonnet 3.7, delivering superior coding and reasoning while responding more precisely to your instructions,” advertised the company.

Both models can use tools like web search and demonstrate improved memory capabilities.

In addition, the company announced that Claude Code was generally available. It supports background tasks via GitHub Actions and native integrations with VS Code and JetBrains, displaying edits directly in users’ files for pair programming.

Anthropic, a start-up founded by ex-OpenAI researchers, released four new capabilities on the Anthropic API, enabling developers to build more powerful code execution tools, the MCP connector, Files API, and the ability to cache prompts for up to one hour.

Claude Opus 4 powers known frontier agent products like Cursor, Replit, Block, Rakuten, and Cognition.

Anthropic’s Claude 4 models arrived as the company looks to substantially grow revenue. Reportedly, the organization aims to reach $2.2 billion in earnings this year.
