Claude is about to get smarter with major upgrades for better coding and reasoning
These days, several of the most advanced AI chatbots, including ChatGPT o3, are taking a little longer to respond to queries.
That’s because they’re reasoning through the task at hand before providing an answer. This is great for simple questions, but really enhances the utility of these bots for more complex problem solving – like coding.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT o3 is the default for many users and it’s the one that takes a little time to think about the prompt before answering. Alternatives like DeepSeek, Gemini, and Claude also offer reasoning capabilities. However, Claude is about to get a whole lot better.
According to a report from The Information, Anthropic is planning some major upgrades to both Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus, enabling them to switch between tools during reasoning and self-correct when they encounter errors.
The report says this will be particularly useful in the context of code generation, where the chatbots can rectify their mistakes by running the code and debugging it.
The updates are said to be coming in the next few weeks and will improve the user experience. Both ChatGPT and Claude are thought to be due some major updates soon, with new models and features on the way. The long-awaited GPT-4.5 or GPT-5 from OpenAI is expected soon.
Anthropic recently released a new iPad version of the Claude app, which is also thought to be coming soon. Both companies have said there are some exciting updates coming this fall, so we’re on high alert for anything that might improve reasoning capabilities, coding performance, or just the overall experience of interacting with AI.
