Summary
Anthropic has released two new AI tools which it hopes will advance useful AI agents that assistant users in complex tasks over an extended period of time.
Claude Opus 4 is aimed at paying customers and is a large, powerful model for more complex challenges while Claude Sonnet 4 will be available on both free and paid-for tiers and is designed for everyday use.
The company has improved the models’ ability to create and maintain ‘memory files’ to store important information, meaning they can complete longer tasks.
It is hoped the new models will reduce the need for human intervention and provide more reasoned responses to queries.
The use of AI tools is aimed at overcoming obstacles such as safety and security issues which can see AI act erratically and perform unintended actions.
