AI startup Anthropic is gearing up to release its next major AI model, according to a report Thursday from The Information.
The report describes Anthropic’s upcoming model as a “hybrid” model, which can switch between “deep reasoning” and fast responses. The company will reportedly introduce a “sliding scale” alongside the model to allow developers to control costs, as the deep reasoning capabilities consume more computing.
Anthropic’s model, which could arrive within weeks, outperforms OpenAI’s o3-mini-high “reasoning” model on some programming tasks, according to the report. The model is also said to excel at analyzing large codebases and other business-related benchmarks.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei hinted at new models in a recent interview with TechCrunch’s own Romain Dillet.
“We’re generally focused on trying to make our own take on reasoning models that are better differentiated,” Amodei said. “We’ve been a little bit puzzled by the idea that there are normal models and there are reasoning models and that they’re sort of different from each other.”
