Anthropic has launched the Claude 3.7 Sonnet hybrid reasoning model, with a valuation reaching 615 billion Thalers

Anthropic, a new artificial intelligence startup, has released a new AI model that allows users to decide whether they want a simple quick answer or a more time-consuming answer that mimics human reasoning. According to Bloomberg, this innovative approach may help the AI startup stand out in the competition. In addition, Anthropic is about to complete a round of $3.5 billion in financing, with a valuation reaching $61.5 billion.

Is the reasoning model hot? Anthropic believes that sometimes people just want a simple answer.

The model, named Claude 3.7 Sonnet, is both a traditional LLM and a reasoning model, allowing users to choose whether to spend more or less time for the AI system to calculate the answer. Furthermore, when using Claude 3.7 Sonnet via the API, users can also control the thinking budget, in other words, users can trade off speed and cost for the quality of answers. The model is available to both free and paid users, but non-paying users will initially not have access to additional computational power to respond to their prompts.

Recently, including OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Musk's xAI, have launched new reasoning models that can spend more time calculating answers before responding, although the industry has positioned reasoning systems as the next frontier of artificial intelligence, Anthropic believes that users may sometimes desire something simpler.

Anthropic's Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger said, "What we really want to do is seamlessly adopt this feature in meaningful places, but not let it play a role in meaningless places."

However, if users request Claude 3.7 Sonnet to spend more time calculating responses, the model will show the written details of the train of thought it follows, a design choice recently adopted by OpenAI, xAI, and DeepSeek. Krieger said that this approach can help users better understand how the model arrives at answers and identify where problems occur when errors arise.

Anthropic also focuses on AI agent function

In addition, Claude 3.7 Sonnet will include the 'computer use' feature, which is a tool the company first introduced last year that can explain the content users see on the computer and, with user permission, perform operations such as browsing the internet, typing, and clicking buttons on their behalf.

The company is rolling out an early version of the new artificial intelligence agent Claude Code to a limited number of users, which is specifically designed for automating coding tasks.

Anthropic is not affected by DeepSeek and completes a new round of financing.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic is about to complete a $3.5 billion financing round, valuing the company at $61.5 billion. This indicates that despite the disruptive impact brought by the emergence of Chinese company DeepSeek, investors still eagerly support promising artificial intelligence companies.
