Anthropic gave me access to a preview version of a “new model” over the weekend which turned out to be Sonnet 4.5. My initial impressions were that it felt like a better model for code than GPT-5-Codex, which has been my preferred coding model since it launched a few weeks ago. This space moves so fast—Gemini 3 is rumored to land soon so who knows how long Sonnet 4.5 will continue to hold the “best coding model” crown. (View Highlight)

The claude.ai web interface (not yet the Claude iPhone native app) recently added the ability for Claude to write and then directly execute code in a sandboxed server environment, using Python and Node.js. I wrote about that in detail three weeks ago. (View Highlight)

These are pretty good—they are recognizably pelicans!—though not quite as good as GPT-5-Codex which is better at drawing bicycles. (View Highlight)

Anthropic also shipped a new Claude Code VS Code extension today, plus a big upgrade to the Claude Code terminal app. Plus they rebranded their confusingly named Claude Code SDK to the Claude Agent SDK instead, emphasizing that it’s a tool for building agents beyond just customizing the existing Claude Code product. That’s available for both TypeScript and Python. (View Highlight)
