Amazon-backed Anthropic has launched its most advanced AI models, Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, claiming to be the new gold standard in AI. These models can autonomously complete workdays, write human-level content, analyze datasets, and perform tasks across research, coding, and content creation.

Claude Opus 4 is labeled the “best coding model in the world,” delivering nearly seven hours of autonomous agent work. It adapts, learns from files, builds knowledge over time, and offers real-time web search capabilities to complete user tasks seamlessly.

Anthropic’s pivot from chatbot development to intelligent agent performance signifies a critical shift. Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan highlights the intense development process and the models’ leap in agentic behavior and software engineering capabilities.

Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger states Claude now outperforms his own writing, with Anthropic’s annualized revenue soaring to $2 billion, doubling from the previous quarter. High-value enterprise clients spending over $100,000 have surged eightfold.

Fueled by a fresh $2.5 billion credit line, Amazon-backed Anthropic is accelerating its position in the AI arms race, setting a new benchmark in artificial intelligence.
