Anthropic Drops AI Coding Beast😱

Imagine a world where AI doesn’t just assist—it thinks, reasons, and acts on its own. That world is closer than ever.

Anthropic’s latest breakthrough, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, introduces hybrid reasoning, blending speed with deep, step-by-step analysis. Developers can now control how long the AI "thinks," making it a powerhouse for coding and web development. And with Claude Code, a new command-line tool, engineers can delegate tasks straight from their terminal.

Meanwhile, Perplexity is reimagining how we browse the web with Comet, an AI-powered browser designed to automate tasks and enhance research. Though details remain scarce, it signals a shift in how AI could redefine online exploration.

And in the fight against cancer, AI is proving to be a game-changer. Orakl Oncology, using Meta’s DINOv2, is revolutionizing drug testing by analyzing imaging data from lab-grown cancer cells. With a 26.8% improvement in accuracy, researchers can predict patient responses faster and with more precision than ever before.

From AI-powered coding to smarter web browsing and breakthroughs in cancer research, one thing is clear—AI is no longer just assisting us; it's transforming how we innovate, discover, and heal.

Introducing Claude 3.7 Sonnet: The Future of AI Reasoning

Anthropic has announced Claude 3.7 Sonnet, their most intelligent model to date, which is also the first hybrid reasoning model on the market. It can provide both quick responses and extended, step-by-step thinking, with API users able to control how long the model thinks for. Claude 3.7 Sonnet excels in coding and front-end web development, and is accompanied by Claude Code, a command line tool for agentic coding available as a limited research preview, allowing developers to delegate engineering tasks directly from their terminal. It is available on all Claude plans and via API, and features improvements in real-world tasks, coding capabilities, and a reduced rate of unnecessary refusals.

Perplexity Unveils AI-Powered Comet Browser

Perplexity is launching a new AI-powered web browser called Comet, designed to enhance internet browsing with agentic AI capabilities, automating tasks and deep research. Currently, details are limited, but it's speculated to include features that leverage AI to streamline web browsing, potentially facing competition from established browsers like Chrome and emerging AI-first browsers like Dia. Perplexity, known for its AI-powered search app that combines generative AI with web browsing, aims to provide highly curated search results. The launch details, including platform availability and its underlying structure, are still unclear.

AI Boosts Cancer Research with DINOv2

Orakl Oncology, a spin-off of the Gustave Roussy Institute, is leveraging Meta's DINOv2, an open-source AI model, to accelerate cancer research and drug development. By testing drugs on lab-grown cancer cells (organoids) and using DINOv2 to analyze the resulting imaging data, Orakl Oncology aims to predict patient responses in clinical settings more accurately. DINOv2 has proven to be more effective than specialized organoid models, improving accuracy by 26.8%. This allows the team to move from qualitative image descriptions to quantitative data, which can be fed into downstream models. The use of DINOv2 has significantly reduced the time and effort required for tasks such as extracting information from videos, enabling researchers to focus on the scientific aspects of predicting patient outcomes.
