Code with Claude Opening Keynote
Anthropic’s first developer conference – “Code with Claude”
🚀 Code with Claude Conference Highlights – May 22, 2025 – Video start time 27:28
TL;DR: Anthropic launched Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet 4 at their first-ever developer conference in San Francisco, claiming the world’s best coding model crown with some seriously impressive benchmarks!
🎯 The Big News
Claude 4 Models Launched:
- Claude 4 Opus: Scored 72.5% on SWE-bench (the industry’s toughest coding benchmark), edging out OpenAI’s and Google’s best models
- Claude 4 Sonnet: Actually achieved 72.7% on SWE-bench, and with parallel test-time compute gets 80.2% accuracy
- Both can work continuously for up to 7 hours without losing focus 🤯
💡 Game-Changing Features
Hybrid Reasoning Models:
- Two modes: near-instant responses OR extended thinking for complex multi-step problems
- Can use tools like web search during extended thinking, alternating between reasoning and tool use
- Improved memory capabilities – can extract and save key facts to maintain continuity
🛠️ Developer Tools
Claude Code Gets Major Upgrades:
- New Claude Code SDK with GitHub integration
- VS Code integration (looks like a nice UI improvement from terminal-only)
- Demo showed Claude Code working on a real GitHub issue for 90 minutes!
📊 The Numbers
Pricing:
- Opus 4: $15/$75 per million tokens (input/output)
- Sonnet 4: $3/$15 per million tokens
Availability:
- Sonnet 4: Available to both free and paying users
- Opus 4: Paying users only
- Conference attendees get 3 months free access to Max plan
🔥 Industry Reactions
- GitHub is making Claude Sonnet 4 the foundation for its new Copilot agent
- Cursor calls Opus 4 “state-of-the-art for coding and a leap forward in complex codebase understanding”
- Replit saw 10x revenue increase after integrating Claude 3.7, says Opus 4 is even more precise
⚠️ Safety First
Claude 4 Opus is so powerful it triggered Anthropic’s highest safety protocols (ASL-3) – the first model to reach this level. They had to implement additional safety mitigations before release.
🎉 Bottom Line
This feels like a legitimate breakthrough moment for AI coding assistants. When Dario Amodei says “I’m not one to hype things up” and then drops these numbers, you know something big just happened. The 7-hour sustained focus capability alone could be a game-changer for complex development projects.
Perfect timing for developers looking to supercharge their workflows! 🚀
