Anthropic ships new model that tops GPT-4o on code and logic
What happened
Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Sonnet with an updated 200-thousand-token context window and a dedicated code interpreter. On HumanEval the model scored 92.0 percent, two points above GPT-4o, and on GSM8K math reasoning it reached 96.4 percent. Users access it free at claude.ai or via the Anthropic API at $3 per million input tokens.
Why it matters
Small teams now treat frontier model selection as a weekly experiment rather than a fixed choice. They can swap models mid-project to exploit the latest accuracy gains without rewriting their entire stack.
Who's doing it
Freelance developer Maya Patel switched her five-person client work from GPT-4o to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. She reports finishing complex React components in 40 percent less time and passing all internal code reviews on the first try.

Karen what's the catch
I am NOT okay with this. Anthropic drops Claude 3.5 Sonnet that beats GPT 4o on coding and reasoning while charging pennies. My nephew warned me about this model takeover.
