Anthropic

New Anthropic research: Reasoning Models Don't Always Say What They Think Since the end of last year, reasoning models have been everywhere. But do they accurately verbalize their reasoning? Our new paper shows they don't. This casts doubt on whether monitoring AI models' Chains-of-Thought will be enough to reliably catch any safety issues. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dRzYdWdJ

Introducing Claude for Education. We're partnering with universities to bring AI to higher education, alongside a new learning mode for students. Claude for Education is available today in The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Northeastern University, and Champlain College, and for all Pro users in the US with a .edu email address. To learn more or to speak with our education team: https://lnkd.in/eP5wGyn7

Last month we launched our Anthropic Economic Index, to help track the effect of AI on labor markets and the economy. Today, we’re releasing the second research report from the Index. We examine how the usage of our models has changed since the release of Claude 3.7 Sonnet, analyse the balance of AI "augmentation" versus AI "automation" across different occupations, and more. We're also publicly sharing several new datasets for anyone to use based on this analysis—including a new bottom-up set of anonymized user activity patterns on claude.ai. We’ll continue tracking the metrics and release further analyses and datasets in the coming months. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d3BKWNA7

We've done some spring cleaning. The Claude interface is now more refined, thanks to your feedback. We’ve also added new suggested prompts to inspire more conversations, right from the start. The refreshed look is rolling out today on claude.ai and on our desktop apps. Try it out: claude.ai/download

Tracing the thoughts of a large language model We built a “microscope" to inspect what happens inside AI models and use it to understand Claude’s (often complex and surprising) internal mechanisms. AI models are trained and not directly programmed, so we don’t understand how they do most of the things they do. Our new interpretability methods allow us to trace the steps in their thinking. Insight into an AI model's mechanisms will allow us to check whether it's aligned with human values—and whether it’s worthy of our trust. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dm_Gtj2n

We’re launching a new blog: Engineering at Anthropic. A hub where developers can find practical advice and our latest discoveries on how to get the most from Claude. The first post is about a new method, the “think” tool, that can result in remarkable improvements in Claude’s agentic tool use ability. https://lnkd.in/e3b6REa5

Claude can now search the web: Each response includes inline citations, so you can also verify the sources. Web search is rolling out today in feature preview in the US across all paid plans. Just toggle it on in settings: https://lnkd.in/erhe_MAP We're rolling out support for users on our free plan and expanding web search to more countries soon.
