Anthropic has officially unveiled its latest mid-tier artificial intelligence model, which serves as the successor to its well-regarded Sonnet 4.6. In a recent release, the company detailed the model's sophisticated capabilities, including its ability to "make plans, use tools like browsers and terminals, and run autonomously." Notably, these functions were, until very recently, features primarily found in larger and more expensive models. Anthropic further indicated that the new model's performance "is close to that of Opus 4.8." The firm also took care to mention a critical safety aspect, stating that it exhibits a "much lower ability to perform dangerous cybersecurity tasks than our current Opus models."
