Anthropic Unveils Claude 4 With Superior Coding and Reasoning

Anthropic has advanced its AI capabilities with Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, models built for coding and complex problem-solving. These releases reflect the company’s drive to compete with top AI developers and offer more powerful assistants.

Details:

• Claude Opus 4 is Anthropic’s most advanced model, capable of running autonomously for up to seven hours. It outperforms Gemini 2.5 Pro, OpenAI's o3, and GPT-4.1 in coding and tool use, and is billed as the "best coding model in the world"

• Claude Sonnet 4, a more affordable upgrade to the 3.7 version, boosts coding performance while staying efficient for general tasks. Both models are 65% less likely to use shortcuts and better retain key info over long tasks when given file permissions

• Latest features include “thinking summaries” for clearer insights, a beta “extended thinking” mode for reasoning/tool use, and broader rollout of Claude Code

As AI competition heats up, Anthropic is speeding up model updates. Paid users get both models, while F-R-E-E users can use only Claude Sonnet 4.

OpenAI Teams With Apple Legend Jony Ive For $6.5B AI Device Venture

OpenAI has acquired Jony Ive's device startup, LoveFrom's io, in a $6.5 billion all-equity deal. The move brings Apple's former design chief into AI innovation, aiming to redefine how we interact with intelligent devices.

Details:

• OpenAI is making its biggest acquisition yet, buying io for $6.5 billion. Around 55 engineers, scientists, and ex-Apple designers will join OpenAI. Jony Ive and his firm LoveFrom will lead design efforts

• The goal is to create AI-powered consumer devices that go "beyond screens," with the first products expected in 2026. OpenAI already owned 23% of io from a previous deal

• The move takes aim at Apple in the consumer hardware space. Apple's stock fell 2% after the news, as the company lags behind OpenAI and Google in AI. Ive, the mind behind the iPhone, is currently poised to shape the future of AI devices

Blending Altman's AI leadership with Ive's iconic design approach, the partnership reflects OpenAI's push to create more natural and seamless ways for people to interact with AI in daily life.

Mistral Releases Coding Assistant That Can Run Even on Modest Laptops

Mistral AI has launched Devstral, a coding-focused AI model built with All Hands AI. Positioned as a strong contender in the AI coding space, Devstral aims to be both powerful and developer-friendly.

Details:

• Devstral is open-source under Apache 2.0, beating models like Gemma 3 27B and DeepSeek V3 on coding tasks. It handles code exploration, multi-file edits, and agent frameworks like OpenHands and SWE-Agent

• It runs locally on an RTX 4090 or a Mac with 32GB RAM. Available via Hugging Face or Mistral's API at $0.10/million input tokens and $0.30/million output tokens

• Though labeled a "research preview" with 24B parameters, it’s a big leap from Codestral, which had no commercial use. A larger version is already in the works

The release follows rising developer use of AI tools—76% are using or planning to use them. Despite issues with logic and security, productivity gains are fueling rapid adoption.
