We’ve all been waiting for it, and now it’s here! Today marks a major leap forward in the world of AI as we unveil the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet and introduce a brand-new model, Claude 3.5 Haiku. Whether you’re into coding, software development, or just looking for the next AI to boost your productivity, these updates bring exciting capabilities for everyone. And if you're into cutting-edge AI models, we’ve got something extra to pique your interest—Claude is now learning to use computers like humans do.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Powering the Future of Coding
The upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a beast when it comes to coding. Building on its predecessor's strengths, this version significantly boosts performance across multiple areas, including agentic coding and tool use. If you’re a developer, you’ll love its ability to navigate complex coding tasks with precision and efficiency. Early benchmarks show a staggering improvement on SWE-bench Verified, raising the score from 33.4% to 49.0%. This makes Claude 3.5 Sonnet the top choice for developers and companies like GitLab, which have already reported noticeable gains in reasoning and process automation.
Claude 3.5 Haiku: Speed Meets Affordability
If speed is your game, then Claude 3.5 Haiku is your AI. It packs serious intelligence into a compact and affordable package, delivering impressive performance on a wide range of tasks. Scoring 40.6% on SWE-bench Verified, it even surpasses the original Claude 3.5 Sonnet in many coding tasks—all while maintaining low latency. Whether you’re building user-facing products, managing massive datasets, or need real-time feedback for your project, Claude 3.5 Haiku is up to the task.
Computer Use: The Next Frontier
Here’s where things get really exciting. With Claude’s new ability to use computers, we’re stepping into a whole new realm of possibilities. Imagine an AI that can move a cursor, click buttons, type text, and interact with software like a human. This is exactly what Claude 3.5 Sonnet brings to the table, and it’s available in public beta starting today.
Companies like Asana, Canva, and Replit are already using this feature to complete complex, multi-step tasks. For instance, Replit is harnessing Claude’s new computer use capabilities to evaluate apps in real time. While the feature is still experimental, the potential is massive, and we’re excited to see how developers will use it to automate workflows, conduct research, and build software faster than ever.
