Multiple Locations, USA/Global: Anthropic unveiled two new AI models, Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, vying to top the coding assistance market. With extended “agentic” capabilities, these models can autonomously tackle long tasks, from open-source refactoring to gameplay. Anthropic touts built-in safety measures, including a novel “whistleblowing” feature that alerts authorities if the AI is weaponized for harmful acts. GitHub will use Claude Sonnet 4 for its coding agent, highlighting Anthropic’s competitive edge against peers like OpenAI.

What this means for you:

•	In the next 2–4 weeks, check if AI coding can speed up your side projects or routine tasks.
•	Over 1–3 months, consider training in specialized AI-driven development—especially if you’re a freelance programmer.
•	Watch for new policies on “agentic coding” to manage potential misuse.
•	In the meantime, investigate cost vs. productivity—some advanced features may come with higher subscription fees.

Key Entities

• Anthropic: AI research lab and creator of Claude 4.
• GitHub (Microsoft): Integrating Claude Sonnet 4 as the default coding model in a new feature.
• Rakuten: Tested Opus 4 in prolonged refactoring tasks.
