Anthropic Readying to Drop Claude 4 In The Coming Weeks

Anthropic, the AI research company founded by former OpenAI researchers, is poised to release Claude 4, its next-generation AI model, in the coming weeks, according to recent reports. This highly anticipated launch is expected to intensify competition in the generative AI landscape, challenging rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.

Sources indicate that Anthropic is preparing to unveil new versions of its Claude Sonnet and Opus models, which promise significant advancements in reasoning and performance. Posts on X and industry reports suggest that Claude 4 could outperform existing models, with some claiming it may surpass OpenAI’s latest offerings in key benchmarks. “We are reserving Claude 4 Sonnet for things that are quite significant leaps,” said Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a recent statement, hinting at substantial improvements over the current Claude 3.7 Sonnet model.

The upcoming release follows Anthropic’s rapid development pace, with new Claude iterations typically dropping every 3.5 to 4 months. Speculation on X points to a potential June launch, aligning with the company’s pattern of frequent updates. Additionally, Anthropic is reportedly testing a new model codenamed “Claude-Neptune,” which may introduce enhanced capabilities tailored for specific use cases.
