In this episode, we explore Anthropic's groundbreaking Claude 4.5 Sonnet release, a major advancement in AI agent capabilities designed specifically for coding, long-running tasks, and computer interactions. This new flagship model demonstrates impressive 30-hour autonomous operation (up from 7 hours previously) while maintaining the same pricing structure at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. We examine Sonnet 4.5's remarkable benchmark performance, including a 77.2% success rate on SWE bench Verified and 61.4% on OSWorld, signaling substantial improvements in real-world application capabilities. The episode also covers enterprise integration options with AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, plus new developer tools like the Claude Agent SDK and VS Code extension.
