Claude 3.7 Sonnet makes his debut with “Extended Thinking” to tackle complex problems

    Would the color be called 'Magenta' if the city did not exist? The person asks an interesting hypothetical question about the origin of the color name "magenta" And the relationship with the city of Magenta in Italy. The Magenta color is named after the Battle of Magenta, which took place in 1859 near the city of Magenta in North -Italy during the Second Italian War of Independence. Shortly after this battle a new anilin color was made in France that produced this clear purple -like color, and it was called "magenta" To commemorate the battle. So the name of the color indeed has a direct etymological connection with the city of Magenta. Without the city (and the subsequent battle there moisture), the color would probably have been given a different name. I will give a short reaction that tackles this historical connection without being excessively expanded. No, the color Magenta would not have that name if the city of Magenta did not exist in Italy. The color is named after the Battle of Magenta, which took place near that city in 1859. Shortly thereafter, when French chemists created a new clear purple-like aniline dye, they called it "magenta" To commemorate the fight. Without the city and its historical meaning, nowadays we would nowadays call that color with a completely different name.

    Interesting is that Xai's Grok 3 with “Thinking” (his SR mode) was called in the first model to give us a “no” and not “it is not likely” to the Magenta question. Claude 3.7 Sonnet with extensive thinking also impressed us with our second company “no”, then an explanation.

    In another informal test we asked 3.7 Sonnet with extensive thinking to put together five original dad jokes. In the past we have found that our old prompt: “Write 5 original dad jokes”, not specific enough and has always resulted in canned dad jokes that were drawn directly from training data, so we asked: “5 original dad jokes compiled that that are not found all over the world “

    Compose 5 original dad jokes that are not found anywhere in the world. The user asks me to put together 5 original dad jokes. These must be jokes that follow the typical "daddy" Formula - usually with puns or pun, and typically clean and family -friendly humor that can generate a moan. I have to make 5 original dad jokes that are not found anywhere else in the world. Let me think of some unique pun and puns that I can turn into original dad jokes: something with "program" And "debug" - Maybe a joke about a programmer's debugs by placing their code in water? Something with "Cloud Computing" - Maybe a joke about clouds and again versus computer clouds? Something with "quantum physics" - Maybe a joke about quantum uncertainty and daily life? Something with "vegetables" - Maybe a joke about the feelings of asparagus or broccoli? Something with "music" - Maybe a joke about musical notes or instruments? Let me work it out in full jokes: why did the programmer take a bath? They had to debug their code! What did the meteorologist say to the IT specialist? "Your cloud computing forecast looks partly technical with a chance of updates!" Why do quantum physicists never find things? Because if they know where something is, they have no idea how fast it is! What did the asparagus say when it won the vegetable competition? "I knew I could stalk the competition!" Why could the piano not find a date? It always played too many nuts at the same time! These jokes follow the DAD - joke formula - they are clean, involve word play and would probably generate moans. They are also original as far as I know, although it is difficult to guarantee that similar jokes do not exist anywhere. Let me view them again: the error detection joke is a fairly standard word game, but I think it is original enough. The Cloud Computing -Crazy plays on the double meaning of "cloud" - Good. The joke of quantum physics is based on the Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg - I think this is quite original. The Aspergem joke plays on "stem" With multiple meanings - this seems original. The piano joke is about playing "Too many notes" - Perhaps similar to existing jokes, but the specific formulation seems original. I think these are good to go. I will give these 5 original dad jokes to the user. Here are 5 original dad jokes: why did the programmer take a bath? They had to debug their code! What did the meteorologist say to the IT specialist? "Your cloud computing forecast looks partly technical with a chance of updates!" What did the asparagus say when it won the vegetable competition? "I knew I could stalk the competition!" Why could the piano not find a date? It always played too many nuts at the same time! Why do quantum physicists never find things? Because if they know where something is, they have no idea how fast it is!

    Claude has made some attempts to make original jokes, although we let you judge whether they are funny or not. We will probably place the SR possibilities of 3.7 Sonnet on the test more exmetatory in a future article.

    Anthropic's First Agent: Claude Code

    Until now, 2025 was the year of both SR models (such as R1 and O3) as an agentic AI tools (such as OpenAi's Operator and Deep Research). In order not to leave, Anthropic has announced his first agent tool, Claude Code.

    Claude Code works directly from a console terminal and is an autonomous coding assistant. It allows Claude to search code bases, read and edit files, write and perform tests, to commit code and push to Github repositories and commandoline tools, while developers informed throughout the entire process to stay.

    Anthropic is also intended that Claude Code is used as an assistant for debugging and refacting tasks. The company claims that during internal tests the Claude Code tasks has completed in a single session that usually requires more than 45 minutes of manual work.

    Claude Code is currently only available as a “limited research review”, where it is anthropic that it is planning to improve the tool based on feedback from users over time. In the meantime, Claude 3.7 Sonnet is now available via the Claude website, the Claude App, Anthropic API, Amazon -Brock and Google Cloud's Vertex AI.
