Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 series, led by Claude 3.5 Sonnet, represents a new generation of AI agents capable of advanced reasoning, code generation, and real-time tool use. Released in June 2024, Claude 3.5 Sonnet combines high performance with faster response times, and it's available in Anthropic's web interface and via API.

Positioned as an AI assistant for complex workflows, Claude 3.5 can perform tasks that require multi-step thinking, software development, document understanding, and dynamic interaction with external tools or interfaces. It is suitable for technical teams, enterprise users, researchers, and developers who need scalable, reliable, and transparent AI behavior in high-stakes environments.

What are the main features of Claude 3.5?

Advanced reasoning and task planning

Claude 3.5 excels at breaking down complex problems:

• Handles multi-step logic and open-ended questions more reliably than previous models.

• Can summarize, interpret, and cross-reference long documents.

• Useful for research, analysis, and strategic business scenarios.

High-quality code generation and debugging

The model offers strong programming capabilities:

• Writes clean, functional code in Python, JavaScript, and other languages.

• Can explain, review, and debug code snippets or full files.

• Handles complex tasks like writing tests, integrating APIs, or refactoring.

Tool use and interface simulation

Claude 3.5 can perform simulated interactions with user interfaces:

• Interprets structured interfaces like dashboards or data tools.

• Simulates actions such as clicking, filling out forms, or running commands.

• Paves the way for agents that can learn to use real software environments.

Improved speed and accuracy

Compared to earlier Claude models, 3.5 Sonnet offers:

• Faster response times with more accurate outputs.

• Better contextual memory and less hallucination in longer interactions.

• Ideal for real-time applications, iterative tasks, and technical workflows.
