A tester spent 48 hours evaluating Claude Opus 4 after Anthropic released the new AI model. The person focused on testing reasoning abilities and tool integration features. Opus 4 can think about each step when using external tools like Gmail and Todoist. Previous Claude versions could not analyze tool results and adjust their approach. The new model switches between thinking steps and actual tool usage throughout complex tasks.
The reviewer tested email management workflows that scan Gmail messages and create tasks automatically. Opus 4 examined 40 messages and created 15 tasks, compared to the older version, which only handled 17 messages. The AI understood message priorities better and made smarter decisions about importance levels...
Anthropic released Claude 4 artificial intelligence models that compete against OpenAI and Google. The company created two versions, Opus 4 and Sonnet 4, with better reasoning and coding abilities. Claude Opus 4 scored 72.5 percent on SWE-bench coding tests and beat all other AI models. Sonnet 4 works faster and also achieves strong results on the same difficult programming challenges. Both models can handle complex tasks that run for many hours without breaking down.
The new AI systems gained better memory and thinking skills for long projects. Cognition and Rakuten tested the models on demanding jobs that lasted seven hours each. Claude 4 makes fewer mistakes and avoids shortcuts compared to earlier versions. The models can work with...
Charles Twiine faced charges at Buganda Road court on Thursday for planning attacks against President Museveni and his son, General Muhoozi. The former police spokesman appeared before Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayizzi alongside Noah Mutwe, a bodyguard for opposition leader Bobi Wine. Prosecutors claim Twiine sent social media messages urging Mutwe to kill the president using pavers. Court officials say he also targeted General Muhoozi for similar violence. Mutwe has been locked up for two weeks before this court appearance.
State lawyers accuse both men of breaking computer misuse laws through harmful online content. Twiine allegedly called the parliament speaker, Anita Among, a rotten person and blamed her for deaths in Bukedea...
President Museveni ordered his son, General Muhoozi, to create a security team to fight power line theft. Criminals have been cutting electricity poles and stealing wires across central Uganda, causing long power outages in communities across Nakasongola, Luwero, and Nakaseke districts. The president spoke to reporters during his Parish Development Model tour at State Lodge, Luwero. He suggested shooting some vandals might stop others from destroying power equipment.
Thieves used saws to cut down poles and grabbed hundreds of meters of copper wire. Recent attacks hit Wabigalo, Kakooge, and Katuugo towns, where vandals stole valuable electrical materials. Security officials want to use CCTV cameras and more patrols to catch criminals...
Robert Dussey trained as a Catholic monk before becoming Togo's foreign minister. He studied at St. Paul's Seminary and joined the Franciscan order as a young man. The minister gave up his religious robes and started wearing suits to government meetings. Dussey has served as foreign minister since 2013 under President Faure Gnassingbe. He calls his political work an accident that turned into a mission for humanity.
The former monk says he entered politics without planning it. President Gnassingbe asked him to serve first as diplomatic advisor and later as minister. Dussey believes his religious background helps him focus on human dignity and justice. He took over foreign affairs during major global changes and regional conflicts. The...
Security agents grabbed two people outside Nakawa court on Wednesday after opposition leader Kizza Besigye appeared for his treason case.

Harold Kaija from the Patriotic Front for Freedom said one victim was Katongole, a local councillor from Kira Division. Witnesses claim Katongole had fought earlier with court attendees over a suspected government spy taking photos. The councillor and his friend were singing anti-government songs outside...
President Museveni praised lawmakers for approving changes to military court rules on Wednesday. He spoke to leaders from the Luwero district at Timnah Schools. The president thanked his party members for supporting the new law. His ruling party used its majority to pass the bill despite angry opposition members. The new rules let army courts judge regular citizens accused of serious crimes like treason and gun possession.
Museveni said regular courts cannot handle cases about military weapons or soldiers. He thinks civilian judges who struggle with simple theft cases should not deal with army matters. The president wants people who misuse guns or uniforms to face military judges. He believes this new system will create better...

Uganda lawmakers approved changes to military laws that anger many people. The new rules let army courts put regular citizens on trial. Critics say this breaks the country's basic laws and hurts people's rights. Alice Alaso leads a political group and calls the bill terrible. She thinks it allows soldiers to kidnap and hurt civilians legally.
Some parliament members liked parts of the bill that fixed army leadership and benefits. But Abdu Katuntu from Bugweri district wanted the civilian trial problem solved first. He said judges had given confusing answers about this issue before. Lawyers worry the new system treats soldiers and civilians differently. Regular people can appeal court decisions three times, but soldiers can appeal just...
