Lecture Notes: Building with Cloud 3.7 Sonnet

Introduction to Cloud 3.7 Sonnet

  • Anthropic released Cloud 3.7 Sonnet, an advanced AI model.
  • Claimed to be one of the best AI models available.
  • Available for testing in Cursor and for building AI agents.
  • Accessible via Vectl.ai, free and paid users can use it.
  • Features include Infinite Thinking for task automation.

New Developments

  • Anthropic also released a reasoning model that displays tokens during reasoning similar to DeepSeeker 1.
  • Performance benchmarks show Cloud 3.7 Sonnet surpasses previous models (62% default, 70% with custom scaffolding on SWE Bench Verified).
  • New AI agent called Claude Code, an autonomous coding tool for terminal use.

Importance of Cloud 3.7 Sonnet

  • Widely used by developers and startups for coding and building applications.
  • Facilitates rapid business creation and efficiency.
  • Superior in design capabilities including UI and 3D design.
  • Reduced censorship compared to previous models, fewer refusals in standard and reasoning modes.

Practicality and Use Cases

  • Anthropic focuses on practical, real-world AI applications, not just benchmarks.
  • Evolution vision: From assistant in 2024 to collaborator in present, and to AGI by 2027.
