Anthropic Releases AI Model Maintaining 30-Hour Coding Focus

Anthropic has introduced Claude Sonnet 4.5, an advanced AI language model designed to significantly enhance software development by coding autonomously for up to 30 hours, a substantial improvement over the previous seven-hour capability. This model excels in following instructions, managing complex, multi-step tasks continuously, and detecting vulnerabilities in code, addressing both productivity and security concerns in programming. In parallel, Anthropic launched Claude Code 2.0, a terminal-based AI agent that seamlessly integrates into developers' workflows, enabling iterative problem-solving and reducing routine task burdens like dependency updates and git workflows. These innovations reflect Anthropic's strategic focus on creating AI agents that act as collaborative partners to developers, improving efficiency and allowing coders to concentrate on higher-level architecture. The company’s efforts position it strongly amid competition from OpenAI and Google, as it balances model size and performance to meet practical business needs. Collectively, these advances highlight Anthropic's commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted software development and productivity.
