Grok 3, o3-mini, and DeepSeek have gotten a lot of attention in the past couple of weeks. Claude still remains one of the best coding models. Claude 3.7 Sonnet is Anthropic’s latest model. It can produce near-instant responses or use step-by-step thinking for more complex questions.
What has us more excited is Claude Code. It is a command line tool for agentic coding. It lets you give tasks to Claude from your terminal. As this video shows, you can ask Claude to make changes to your code, explain it, and even look for bugs until your code is ready to ship. Claude 3.7 Sonnet is available on all Claude plans. The free version is not getting extended thinking mode though. As the company explains:
In both standard and extended thinking modes, Claude 3.7 Sonnet has the same price as its predecessors: $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens—which includes thinking tokens.
