A Game-Changing Hybrid AI
Anthropic launched Claude 3.7 Sonnet in late February. It’s the first hybrid reasoning model in the industry. This chatbot lets users toggle between quick answers and step-by-step problem-solving.
Web Search Boosts Claude’s Power
Now, Anthropic is adding a web search to Claude 3.7 Sonnet. This upgrade gives it access to current events and data. “Web search improves accuracy on tasks needing the latest info,” Anthropic says.
Goodbye Knowledge Limits
Before this update, Claude’s info stopped in October 2024. Questions about recent events often got weak answers. Now, it pulls from the web and includes citations for fact-checking.
How to Use It
U.S. subscribers can turn on web searches in their profile settings. Anthropic plans to offer it to free users and more countries soon. This move keeps Claude competitive.
Catching Up to Rivals
Anthropic is chasing OpenAI’s lead. ChatGPT Search rolled out to paid users last fall. By February, OpenAI made it free for everyone, even non-account holders. Now, Claude is stepping up its game.
