Anthropic PBC created the Claude 4 frontier models today. The company calls Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 their best work for coding and AI agents. These programs think and act without people watching them. Opus handles jobs that need thousands of steps. The software runs for hours and makes choices alone.
Rakuten Group tested Opus 4 on computer code. The program wrote software for almost seven hours straight. Earlier versions only worked well for 30 to 60 minutes. Alex Albert from Anthropic said internal tests showed even longer runs. The models remember better because they write notes to themselves on digital scratch pads.
Sonnet 4 replaces the older Sonnet 3.7 version. Anthropic trained it to follow directions more carefully. The old version...
Anthropic released its strongest AI models on Thursday. The company calls them Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. These models can handle thousands of information sources and write like humans. They also complete difficult jobs and run programs. Amazon supports Anthropic financially.

Government experts say Kenya lacks proper laws to fight femicide. The team found that current rules only cover regular murder cases. Officials want new laws that treat femicide as a special type of killing. Lawmakers need to create stronger tools for police and courts.
