It's shaping up to be a big week in AI, with numerous announcements expected from the big players.


Claude 3.7 Sonnet Hits the Market - What's Special?


AI developers Anthropic have just released their long-awaited new "Claude" model, which they've dubbed Claude 3.7 Sonnet.


It's their most intelligent model to date, with the word around the traps being that - in the development of "the Claude" - they've been focused on its processing of real-world tasks instead of purely the "maths and computer science" capabilities of their previous generation models


While we've been seeing quite a lot of "reasoning models" recently, Anthropic is taking a slightly different approach:  users can specify how long Claude should "think" for, allowing it to function either like a traditional LLM (Language Learning Model) with zero thinking time, or in a more advanced mode i.e. like one of the newer reasoning models.

Meantime, Google has now joined the fray with the company's own reasoning model, Gemini Flash 2.0 Thinking  . . . albeit this model is still considered experimental and likely, therefore, to exhibit some odd behaviour until developers refine it.


China Back in the AI News

 

     ­

As we all know, there's been a lot of noise around DeepSeek in recent times, which you can read about in my two previous columns here and here.


DeepSeek isn't the only top-tier AI model China's been busy rolling out, though. Alibaba's Qwen model family has hit the market. The Qwen AI family's flagship model, Qwen Max, can already beat DeepSeek in a variety of benchmarks.

 

Things are moving fast. The week's only just started and there's tell of more models and news expected by the end of it.


I appreciate all the interest from readers of The Customer & The Constituent, and I'll certainly keep you posted.
