Anthropic releases updated version of Claude 3.5 Sonnet and first release of Claude 3.5 Haiku

Anthropic has a number of updates to share about its AI models, including an updated version of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the release of Claude 3.5 Haiku, and a public beta for a capability that enables users to instruct Claude to use computers as a human would. 

The new version of Claude 3.5 Sonnet features improvements across the board compared to the original version. It outperforms the original in graduate level reasoning, undergraduate level knowledge, code, math problem solving, high school math competition, visual question answering, agentic coding, and agentic tool use.

“Early customer feedback suggests the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet represents a significant leap for AI-powered coding,” Anthropic wrote in a post. The company also revealed that GitLab tested the model for DevSecOps tasks and found up to a 10% improvement in reasoning across different use cases. 

Claude 3.5 Haiku is the company’s fastest model, and has a similar cost and speed compared to Claude 3 Haiku, but improves across every skill set, even outperforming the previous generation’s largest model, Claude 3 Opus, in many benchmarks.

According to Anthropic, Claude 3.5 Haiku does especially well in coding tasks, scoring 40.6 on SWE-bench, which is a benchmark that evaluates how well a model can reason through GitHub issues. This is better than the original Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o, the company claims. 

“With low latency, improved instruction following, and more accurate tool use, Claude 3.5 Haiku is well suited for user-facing products, specialized sub-agent tasks, and generating personalized experiences from huge volumes of data—like purchase history, pricing, or inventory records,” Anthropic wrote.

Claude 3.5 Haiku will be available in a few weeks through Anthropic’s API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. It will first be available as a text-only model, and image input will be added down the line. 

Beyond its model announcements, Anthropic also announced the public beta for a new capability that enables Claude to do general computer skills. It built an API that allows the model to perceive and interact with computer interfaces, enabling it to complete tasks like moving the cursor to open an application, navigating to specific web pages, or filling out a form with data from those pages.

In early testing via the OSWorld benchmark, which evaluates an AI’s ability to use computers like humans, Claude 3.5 Sonnet scored 14.9% in the screenshot-only category, which is the highest score of any model (the next highest score is 7.8%). Additionally, when given more steps to complete a task, Claude scored 22%.

Anthropic noted that some of the areas that Claude struggles with include scrolling, dragging, and zooming, and therefore recommends people experiment with it on low-risk tasks.

“Learning from the initial deployments of this technology, which is still in its earliest stages, will help us better understand both the potential and the implications of increasingly capable AI systems,” Anthropic wrote.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
