Drones are revolutionizing war in real time and Europe already has its following evolution: the “hybrid” drone

by

The drones are Very present In war. The UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) have proven to be versatile and competent tools on the Batallo field both in the offensive and in intelligence, but they have an important limitation: when they are on land they are useless. A small drone can get through a window and check a room, but it has no wheels to sneak into recesses in terrestrial operations. Not being, of course, it is a Rooster. A what? A Rooster. This peculiar “hybrid dron” is manufactured by the Israeli company robotic and stands out, as it is obvious, for its form factor. Unlike conventional drones, which can usually only fly, Rooster can fly and run thanks to a side wheel system. They are not really wheels as such, but a kind of cages that, on paper, should pay correctly even on complex land. Teams of three. This drone can be operated independently or in teams of three. When they come together, the three drones forms a mesh, interconnect with each other, share sensors (such as cameras) and can be controlled by the same operator. In fact, this can see in real time the image of drones on the control screen. This connectivity is key, especially if there are no GPS signal in the area. More Specs. The device weighs 1.6 kilos and is to be able to transport loads of up to 300 grams, such as a radiation sensor or a thermal chamber. Its autonomy is 12 minutes of flight and 30 minutes on ground. Seeing it in operation is, at least, curious, since it can pass another in real time, which allows to explore a plant on the ground, fly over the sale, climb to the second floor flying and return to the land exploration. It has cameras (night vision included), records even in Fullhd and, of course, it has ia to detect obstacles. The Rooster flying | Image: robotican In the hands of Israel … and NATO. This drone has already been adopted by the Israeli armed forces, but now it is ready to make the leap to the international market. Just three days ago, the Rooster got he NATO STOCK NUMBER. This is a 13 -digit code used by NATO that guarantees that all objects, from a bulb to pants, are cataloged and are easily accessible in supply chains. Also, in some way, it determines that they are trustworthy devices and that they meet the standards of the alliance. The company also confirmed that has sold its drones to “elite units in Europe”, not to mention exactly countries. We do know that, currently, they are employed by Israel’s defense forces and By the American Dea. The Spanish army He also had occasion to put the rooster tested during a demo that took place in forum 2e+i in Toledo in 2023. The rooster on land | Image: robotican The current context. Israel, One of the world’s great weapons manufacturersIt is not a NATO member country, which adds 32 members, but a partner through the 1994 Mediterranean dialogue such as Jordan, Mauritania or Morocco. The relationship with this country at this time is tense. On the one hand, he has the United States as a great ally, to the point that Israel is considered a MNNA (Important not-oan ally). This designation is made by the United States government to those countries that it considers closest allies. Israel was one of the first five countries to be part of this list after the creation of the MNNA level in 1987 by Ronald Reagan. On the other hand, there is the European Union, which He has condemned Israel’s acts in Gaza and supports the Palestinian authority, but still without agreeing on what measures take against Israel. Some countries, including Spain, defend that agreements with Israel must be suspended and advocated by taking measures and By a arms embargo. The future is the remote control. If something has made clear the recent events that have shaken the international geopolitics, in particular the Israel-Palestine conflict and The Ukraine Warthe thing is Drone control It is capable of decant the balance and make a difference. Unmanned vehicles allow precise maneuvers without putting military personnel at risk. Having more versatile options, such as a hybrid drone capable of developing on land and air, opens many possibilities and supposes, without a doubt, an advance.

This loading brows with 192 solar panels and a hybrid system. The most striking thing is that you can do it without crew

by

Covered by 192 solar panels, Blue Marlin It seems more a floating installation than a traditional freighter. But under that futuristic aspect a remarkable advance is hidden: this ship, designed to operate in interior waters, is the first in its class capable of Use sun energy to drive. We do not talk about auxiliary or lighting systems on board: panels feed their electrical propulsion system. And best of all, he is already sailing. The technical advance is not alone in the design: it is in how it moves. The Blue Marlin combines solar energy, batteries and diesel generators in a hybrid system capable of adapting to each section of the trip. Under good light conditions, panels can generate up to 35 kilowatts, enough to feed the propulsion system without external help. At other times, what is known as Peak Shaving: Automatic management that allows reducing the use of generators, activating them only when it really takes. Solar panels and diesel: all that at the service of a specific task Solar energy has already been the protagonist in other maritime proposals: since Cruises that install panels on the balconiesuntil Flexible candles with Perovskitas that promise a new generation of sustainable ships. There were even those who, more than a decade ago, dared to go around the world with him larger solar boat ever built. Blue Marlin has not been created to go around the world or to travel oceans. Its objective is much more concrete: transport steel and bulk by northwestern Germany. These types of routes, which cross interior channels, are key to reducing the use of trucks and emissions in the logistics chain. By incorporating electric propulsion, they affirm, Blue Marlin allows you to reduce until 36,000 kilos of CO2 a yeara figure nothing smaller for a single ship. In addition to its hybrid propulsion system, the Blue Marlin incorporates a second relevant innovation: remote navigation. Thanks to Seafar technology, the ship can operate without crew on board in certain stretches of the journey. After overcoming the evidence, the German authorities They have authorized that Blue Marlin Navigate telecontrolled between Salzgitter and Friedrichsfeld. This not only reduces operational costs, it also opens the door to a new logistics model in which part of the control can be done from the ground. One of the biggest challenges of river transport is to maintain operability when water level drops. Blue Marlin has been built with that problem in mind. Your helmet has been designed to guarantee stability and maneuverability With a draft of only 1.10 meters. Thanks to its veth helm propellers and an additional bow propeller, it can maneuver precisely even in complex sections. This capacity makes it a robust tool for an increasingly unpredictable environment. Behind the Blue Marlin there are two key actors: HGK Shipping, that moves 43 million tons per year in Europeand Salzgitter Agresponsible for one of the largest steel productions on the continent. Together they have developed a freighter that not only fulfills a logistics function, but also symbolizes a change of course. The construction has been carried out in several phases and countries, with very demanding standards.

A plug -in hybrid that wants to break the market for price, equipment and a power of “more than 535 hp”

by

2,539 registrations. That is the number of units that omoda carries in Spain at the end of the first quarter of the year 2025. A good figure if we consider the brand landed A little over a year ago in our country and that only has a car (in combustion and electricity version) for sale. The omoda 5 combustion adds the bulk of enrollments, of course, with 2,465 units sold in what we have been for the year. The figure, yes, is already a third of the 7,578 omoda 5 with combustion engine sold last year. Now, the Chinese SUV will have a companion in the concessionaires. The omoda 9 SHS is already official and has a launch price that makes it a really competitive car if they add the conditions to the buyer. Omoda 9 shs technical sheet Omoda 9 shs Body type. D-SUV of five seats Measures and weight. 4.77 meters long, 1.92 meters wide, 1.67 meters high. Wheelbase and weight to be confirmed. TRUNK. To be confirmed Maximum power. “More than 535 hp,” according to the brand. Exact figure to be confirmed. WLTP consumption. Pending approval. Environmental Distinctive. Zero emissions. Driving aids (ADAS). Mandatory Adas Aid by the European Union. 540º camera. OTHERS. Own software compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Wireless load for mobile phone.

A 1.5 turbo combustion engine of 143 hp and three electric motors (one on the front axle and two in the rear) with un specified power. Together there are “more than 535 hp,” according to the brand. electric No. price and launch Already available 39,900 euros adding the aid of the MOVES III PLAN. The arrival of the omoda flag model “The largest and most sophisticated model of the brand.” With these words the company defines its new incorporation into the fleet, a SUV of 4.77 meters long, 1.92 wide and 1.67 high that enters fully into the D-SUV market. That is, a step above the compacts and competing with a kodiaq skoda or a Mazda CX-60 by size. In its body the distinctive details of the brand are observed, as a large grill that plays with the rhombuses on the front and a coupé fall as the line progresses to its rear. Repeat the crossed light firm in the front and rear area and, in general, it feels like an omoda 5 more dynamic and elegant. In addition, add upper ranges such as the handles flush on the doors. Inside, omoda advances some upholstered nappa leather seats with electric regulation, heating, ventilation and four types of massage with three intensity levels. The rear seats have reclining support. But it is the front squares that collect the greatest technological load of the new omoda 9 SHS. The instrument picture and the infotainment system will be divided into two 12.3 -inch twin curved screens. Likewise, an Head-Up Display is added that omods figure in 50 inches. We will have a multifunction steering wheel and, although in the photos we cannot appreciate it well, the brand ensures that there are physical controls To control different car functions. We do intuite for the photos that the control of the lights does have a physical command, a function that begins to suffer the evils of “all screen”. In addition, it arrives with a Sony sound equipment with 14 speakers (two included in the headrests of the front seats) and wireless load for the mobile phone. Omoda has not confirmed what types of aid and assistance to the driver will have this omoda 9 SHS beyond enjoying a 540 ° vision camera. That is, we can expect functions such as an invisible hood to know what we have under the wheels and not damage the car on the routes outside the asphalt. You must have at least those required by the European Union. As for mechanical capacities, omoda 9 shs is a plug -in hybrid that delivers “more than 535 hp”. The company does not clarify the specific figure in this regard. We do know that it uses a 34.46 kWh capacity battery, homologating up to 145 kilometers in completely electric mode. With a 70 -liter gas tank, they ensure that it is possible to perform 1,100 kilometers without stopping to recharge or fill the tank. The battery also admits load by direct current to a maximum of 65 kW. It can go from 30 to 80% of the load in 25 minutes. What omoda calls Super Hybrid System is the combination of a combustion engine 1.5 Turbo of 143 hp that delivers its power to the front wheels. This is combined with another electric motor on the same axis and works in solidarity with two other electric motors on the rear axle to deliver those “more than 535 hp”. This structure makes the omoda 9 shs a car with total traction. As for its availability, omoda launches the plug -in hybrid SUV with a launch campaign that leaves it in 39,900 euros (adding the aids of the MOVES III PLAN). The car, they explain from the brand, you have to choose in matte gray so we take it for granted that they are the first units that will arrive in Spain. The first deliveries are expected in the second half of May. In addition, the brand emphasizes that cars have a guarantee of seven years or 150,000 kilometers and that it extends to eight years and 160,000 kilometers for the battery.

Japan had in Mexico the perfect ally to fill the USA with hybrid cars. That is about to end

by

In his battle for torpedoing every car that comes from outside the United States, Donald Trump’s government has imposed a hard 25% tariff to every car that is manufactured outside its borders. And he has also raised an economic wall for cars manufactured there with pieces from abroad. That measure is especially shocking for Europe, which sold vehicles to the United States by value of 38.9 billion euros in 2024. But, above all, it is for Japan. The country had in United States a sales reef. A huge market that was willing to buy its cars, especially hybrids. It is now in a real problem. Everything that comes from Mexico will have to pay tariffs. Everything that comes from Japan will have to pay tariffs. And its presence on American soil is minimal. The Japanese Balancing Game Complex The automobile industry for Japan is especially important. To understand it, just look at the size of its exports. Until last year, Japan was the country that sold more vehicles outside its borders. His companies have a huge tradition, from giants such as Toyota and Honda to smaller companies such as Nissan or Mitsubishi and others with great recognition such as Mazda or Subaru For its growth, Japan installed new vehicle factories in the United States in the 80s. They produced there but The pieces arrived from Japan So the costs were minor and, in addition, generated wealth in their local market. Now, Donald Trump threatens to destroy that way of working. Before they had already achieved the favor of Americans with good cars in the 60s and, above all, a perfect opportunity with the oil crisis in the 70s. Now the car represents 3% of Japanese GDP but cars sold to the United States added 28.3% of all exports made to the North American country. The impact of maintaining a 25% tariff is such that Reuters He points out that he can impact a 0.2% drop in the country’s GDP. The United States is, for half a century, the main market of its exports in the car market. In 2015, for example, They sold 1.7 million cars In the North American country, for the more than 700,000 units that sold throughout Europe. Its weight is such that in 2023 they sold cars worth 41,070 million dollars to the United States. The figure almost reached that registered throughout the European Union in 2024, when it placed in the US market 38.9 billion euros (42,560 million dollars) in vehicles. They are figures that take into account the production of cars in Japan but, in addition, Japanese firms have found an ally in Mexico in recent years. His proximity to the United States has allowed him to get huge performance to his cars. They offer more affordable vehicles than those sold by local brands and, in addition, they are manufactured at a much lower price. The path taken by Donald Trump has made Jump alarms Within the Japanese government. In fact, the United States already confirmed yesterday (April 7, 2025) that Negotiations with a Japanese delegation opened high level that had been sent to negotiate the terms of the new tariffs. It must be remembered that, in addition to cars, the United States has imposed an added tariff of 24% to all Japanese imports, which is a commercial attack on the largest foreign investor in the country, in data collected by EFE. In Bloomberg They encrypt a 0.59% drop to growth forecasts due to these tariffs. According to calculations echoing ReutersJapan could lose 17,000 million dollars as a result of these tariffs. In Bloomberg They emphasize that American manufacturers do not pay tariffs in the United States for their car sales but claim that strict security measures, among other regulations, prevent them from acting there competitively. It is a case similar to the European where the United States has difficulty selling its cars. On the contrary, the Customer Caladero that Japanese companies have in the United States is huge. Bloomberg points out that 23% of Toyota’s sales worldwide went to the North American country. The figure grows to 28% in the case of Nissan and … at 83% if we talk about Subaru. The country’s weight has been growing thanks to the fact that they have been turning with the Hybrid car salesa Japanese specialty. They are very bad news for brands like Toyota. However, the sanitized accounts of the Japanese giant allows you Reuters. The fall would be 8% for Honda. But the provisioning that Japanese companies make of pieces produced in Mexico They are a real problem for smaller companies or with more gloomy economic perspectives. Mazda and Nissan would be the most affected, with a 59% benefit drop for Mazda and 56% for Nissan. Nissan is, without a doubt, the one who has a more complicated horizon. The company is looking for a buyer who holds him from a dramatic fall in his income that It has taken 9,000 layoffs. The Japanese government has pressed without success for Honda to buy To the company. And now It is Foxconn that positions itself as the alternative that sounds more strongly. Focused on the hybrid car and with an almost testimonial presence among the electric ones, the Japanese need to reach an agreement with the United States urgently. In Europe they need to sell more electric cars if they want to meet the European regulations in 2027 Or, as a minor evil, reach an agreement with other manufacturers. At the same time, In China they have it more and more complicatedsince the market has moved to the electric car. And Chinese competition is, more and harder.

Nintendo Switch 2 vs Nintendo Switch. What hybrid console buy and how are they differentiated

by

We have finally known more details about the Nintendo Switch 2the next Nintendo console that has been presented not without its particular controversies that will give much to talk about for months. Therefore, in this article we wanted to gather and comment what are the main differences between the new and current generation of Nintendo Switch. Is it worth making the leap as soon as it is launched? How much do video games cost? We explain it in the following lines. It is worth mentioning that certain details we will not explain them Because they have not yet been confirmed or there are some gaps that Nintendo must clarify. Such as details about the so -called “Game key cards“Or, although we partially know them, the Technical Hardware Specificationsas is the case of the processor. The same goes for the Retrocompatibilitythere are still some unknowns that should be clarified.

Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a LCD panelbut … is it really a panel similar to that of Nintendo Switch? The truth is that no. The Nintendo Switch is available with the LCD panel that we could see after the launch of version V2 (it is also the one that carried the original console), in addition to the corresponding OLED version that is the last one that has been marketed. On the other hand, for the moment the Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive with an LCD panel without the possibility of choosing any OLED model. Offers greater diagonal (7.99 inches compared to 6.2 of the switch and 7 of the OLED), a refreshment rate of 120 Hz and compatibility with the image format HDR. It is a LCD panel, but everything adds, and these technologies or specifications get it better. New joy-with new functions Joy-magnetic with the new “C” button of access to Gamechat. A generational change implies, or has at least involved in most cases, that the controls suffer certain changes to add improvements. The joy-with 2 will not only have the Magnetic grip that we could see in the announcement of the console, but they will also have a mouse function (They can literally be used as if they were a mouse for certain games). They have also suffered certain improvements that users already demanded with the Nintendo Switch: SR and SL buttons They have grown in size to be more comfortable to play when using the Joy-Con separately and the Joystick have also grown slightly. Nintendo Switch Online Add more functions Next to the console, a good assortment of accessories was announced. Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) It is the payment subscription that we already find with the Nintendo Switch. In this first console at the beginning you could play in online multiplayer and then some functions such as having access to expansions or content of some video games, access to exclusive offers or devices and access to demonstrations of some games, among others, were arriving. With the Nintendo Switch 2 they will arrive even more functions. Among them, we will have access to the improvements of some video games released in Nintendo Switch totally free, but one of the inherent functions of the console, Gamechat, is paid: We can only use it if we have an active subscription. And much eye because it is not an additional function of the console, it is a function of it. Power, graphic quality and performance Some Nintendo Switch video games will receive improvements for Nintendo Switch 2. Many years have passed since the Nintendo Switch was launched. During this time technology has taken giant steps, so the Nintendo Switch 2 will have A power and much greater performance than in the current generation. We cannot say much about the processor beyond that it is from Nvidia because nothing is known about it. What is evident is that the graphic quality of video games improves in Nintendo Switch 2. There is not only an increase in the resolution that can be squeezed from video games, but that the dock will allow the Recalado to 4K in certain compatible video games. Which … Read more

Nintendo Switch 2 is no longer a toy, it is the closest to the final hybrid console

by

Nintendo has presented the Switch 2a console that respects the original concept, but that is far from what it offered us The first generation. Nintendo has never cared that switch was a toy that moved games in 720p resolution: I knew I was going to sell the same. But 2025 is not a year to launch a poor power console, and photography has changed completely. Switch 2 is no longer a console whose specifications can be ridiculed. It is a laptop with desktop soul. But a real desktop. A heart of Nvidia. The original Nintendo Switch had a processor Tegra of Nvidiathe same as Nvidia Shield. This generation repeat processor manufacturer and, although they have not transcended technical details about it, it once again has a tegra. One capable of moving graphics of up to 1080 120 fps in the console, and 4k 60 fps in desktop mode. In other words, the switch finally has a decent resolution to compete with the best. First level consoles such as X and PS5 series support 120 fps but, being realistic, the catalog that supports this refreshment rate is minimal. 4k 60p is the standard, and switch finally meets it. A level catalog. ‘Star Wars: Outlaws’, ‘Cyberpunk’ or ‘The Duskblood’ are just some examples of a new era for switch. One in which the console that once was a toy can move triple. PS5 and Xbox One X. (It will be especially interesting to compare it with One S), but there is undoubtedly a key here: it is finally time to compare the switch with a desktop console. To this we must add both the retrocompatibility with Switch 1 games and the emulation capabilities to which Gamecube is now added. Triple A price, for games and console. 90 euros. It is the price that Mario Kart World ‘will have for Nintendo Switch 2. The rest of the games can wait for the 80 euros, 20 euros more than the classics 59.99 euros that we could buy games for the first generation. With a price of 469.99 euros without games, Switch competes directly in the league of the most top of the market. The key? Nintendo does not go directly for that market, he has his own, and now he has more arguments than ever to convince. For almost all. Buying Switch 1 was to launch a clear message: Import Nintendo, not the graphic quality. Nintendo Switch 2 ends completely with this, now becoming the hybrid par excellence to play some triple A deliveries (the initial catalog is and aims to remain reduced), but also to what Nintendo does remain Nintendo: its own titles. To play this type of deliveries in portable console the price is high: rivals as The Rog Ally X are going to 799 euros. More powerful, yes. Without switch versatility, too. Only time will determine the success of this new switch. What is clear is that Nintendo has understood that hardware and performance matter and, finally, we have that switch we deserved.

In the era of hybrid work there is a new unicorn of business management: the Barcelona factorial startup

by

In 2020 and in full pandemic a technological startup of Barcelona called Factorial He lived his particular turning point. The company had an attractive and versatile online platform for human resources management, and the confinement gave a unique opportunity to make potential clients known: it offered its platform for free until confinement passed, and that made many known and realized how well that platform could work while the teleworking became strength. His CEO, Jordi Romero, explained So how many of the new clients who registered in factorial maintained their management in local files or at most “in a dropbox folderbut nothing more. “In April the firm achieved an investment of 16 million dollars of CRV, but that was a stressful round. Just before the pandemic came the company had” an agreement between knights (with CRV), so to speak, “Romero commented,” but the money had to be transferred yet. “ The decision to offer its platform for free was a success, and many companies verified the benefits of that comfortable online management that allowed everything very well organized and accessible in a simple way. At that time that round was the largest that was seen in Spain, and it happened at a time when the labor market was in a certainly strange situation. Factorial took advantage of something that no other company in the sector had previously taken advantage of: His platform was perfect for companies that or did not have HR professionals for being too small, or that if they had them were overcome by the workload or by having to make those tasks with others of management. The factorial solution precisely solved the problem, and that marked a before and after for her and her clients. New and important investment rounds After that round starring CRV, 18 months later factorial became one of the protagonists of the Spanish technological sector. In September 2021 the general investment firm Catalyst bet 80 million dollars for her and confirmed her remarkable projection. This bet was a success: the factorial growth has made it one of the most promising technological startups in our country. A year later, factorial lifted another 120 million dollars in a round with the majority participation of Atomico, but also of GIC, Tiger Global, CRV, K-Found and Creandum. That made it a de facto “unicorn”: its valuation was already 1,000 million dollars, twice what was a year earlier with the previous round. The company, which then had 7,000 clients in Europe and in Latin America – where those first years had its great focus— has not stopped growing And he has had a especially notable 2024. His number of customers is now 13,000 SMEs, and has just given another great news: General Catalyst, which as we said already invested 80 million dollars in it, has expanded that investment at $ 120 million, so that the total bet It becomes 200 million dollars. It is striking that this extension of the investment is carried out without diluting the capital of its shareholders. Jordi Romero, CEO of Factorial (on the left in the image with Bernat Farrero, another of the co -founders) explained how that is “something uncommon in hypercrection companies that, in addition, are financially sustainable.” Pau Ramón, the third co -founder and exco from the company, abandonment Factorial in 2023 for personal reasons. The funds, as those responsible for Factorial point out, will go to the expansion of the firm in Germany – where it is growing especially fast – France and Italy. Not only that: they will allow this firm to give the final impulse in a transition in which they have been working for years: to go from being a human resources software to a large business management platform. SANNED ACCOUNTS AND OWN RISK CAPITAL FUND They hope to reach about 20,000 clients before the end of the year, Romero said In the countryand its forecast is to exceed 100 million dollars of recurring income this year. As indicated in that article, 2024 has been the first year in which the company has grown up without consuming its own resourcessomething especially important to consolidate the profitability of the company.

The firm had at the end of 2024 with 90 million dollars of cash reserves, something striking because it shows the financial solidity of a company that is capable of growing without practically boxing of cash. The investment round seemed almost unnecessary, but according to Romero that allows factorial to “continue its expansion without compromising its financial stability or diluting the capital of its shareholders,” as we mentioned earlier. The company has no immediate plans to go over – “We are not in a hurry,” Romero explains – and does not seem interested in inorganic growth inking or buying other companies. What they do, explained those responsible In araIt is to bill 1,000 million euros in five years. And although the exit to the parquet is for now an unknown, what those entrepreneurs have done has been, as they pointed out In the avant -garde, Create a risk capital fund of 15 million euros with which they want to finance emerging companies. It’s called Itnig Capital, and He has already invested One million euros in nine Spanish companies. The “Startup factory” of Factorial seems to have started with good foot, and is helping that new firms created by former factorial employees take their first steps, as pointed out expanding A few months ago. Growing, but with comparatively low wages During all this factorial time it has evolved. Its creators began working on a human resources platform to manage both employees and various administrative tasks, but in recent times they have become a “Comprehensive Business Management Platform“That allows the management of projects, training and control of expenses. Romero, Farrero and Ramón shared the same frustration when creating factorial: that in many companies there was little technology that helped to climb … Read more

Anthropic launches Claude 3.7 Sonnet, a “hybrid” model that is better than ever. Not only that: also “reason”

by

Anthropic has announced The launch and availability of Claude 3.7 Sonnet, its new model of founding. The jump is promising, but stands out especially for one thing: they point to reasoning models. It is not Claude 4.0, it is Claude 3.7. The number of the new version confirms once again that the jump of benefits does not justify a more “round” number. Many expected Claude 4.0, but in Anthropic they make it clear that this is a much more evolutionary version than revolutionary. A hybrid model. In Anthropic they presume from having a hybrid model that does not differentiate between whether to talk and answer questions quickly, reason or any other application, because everything is based on the Claude 3.7 founding model, which does everything and behaves in that way Multidisciplinary. And as it does everything, it is somewhat more expensive than the competition: its API costs $ 3 per million input tokens and $ 15 per million departure tokens Claude can already “reason”. In a separate announcement Anthropic told us about his new mode of reasoning, called “Extended Thinking Mode”, which now becomes a more option among which we can display when using its model. If we activate it, the model “will think more deeply about complex questions.” As those responsible explain, this mode uses the same AI model, but does so by giving it more time and investing more effort to reach an answer. How Claude thinks. This mode of reasoning offers the possibility of seeing what the model is thinking when processing those answers. Here they warn that this information can be surprising, because we can see how AI can “think” incorrect things, but also show that process does not mean that the answer is only based on it. “Our results suggest that models often make decisions based on factors that are not explicitly discussed in their reasoning process.” Things are saved. That is: the model seems to keep things for yourself while thinking, but it is not clear which or why. There is another reason not to show everything: that raises security problems, since having all that information potentially gives resources to bad actors to take advantage of the model of inappropriate forms. Source: Anthropic You can play Pokémon alone. The new Anthropic model is also more “agéntico” than ever. It responds better to changes in the environment and continues to act until an open task has been completed. That makes The “Computer Use” function which allows AI to control our computer to be increasingly promising. They demonstrated it with Pokémon: Claude 3.7 came much further than previous models. Claude Code arrives. The Anthropic model has always highlighted in the scope of programming, and now they wanted to promote that capacity with Claude Code, a BASDA tool in Claude 3.7 Sonnet but specifically focused on helping programmers to develop their projects. A programming agent. This could also be considered as Anthropic’s first agent, because Claude Code is able to complete programming projects autonomously without needing user interaction. Thus, Claude can search between basis with code on which to base, read and edit files, write and execute tests, publish the code in Github repositories and execute commands on a console while informing developers of the entire process. He Anthropic demonstrative video It allows you to check some of those functions. Similar to Grok3 in performance. The new Grok 3 presented these days by XAI showed one more step in its performance in the most demanding benchmarks today, and Claude 3.7 is also in that line, which means that It is something superior In those tests to models such as O1 and O3-mini (from OpenAI) and Deepseek R1.
