🧠 Why Claude 3.7 is the new king of code [Workshop]

Hey there.

Last week everyone in AI was talking about xAI’s Grok 3.

A few weeks ago, it was Deepseek’s R1.

But in the last few days, Anthropic released an impressive update that both coding experts and complete beginners are using to dramatically accelerate their workflows.

In tests, Claude 3.7 outperforms its competitors on professional coding challenges by 27%.

And inside The Rundown AI University, we’ve already started putting it through its paces.

We’re confident that this is a model you should be attention to. 

Because unlocking these new capabilities gives you:

Code that actually works the first time

The most frustrating aspect of using AI for coding is the endless cycle of generating solutions, discovering they don't actually work, and spending hours debugging AI-generated mistakes.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet addresses this to give you:

• Near-perfect accuracy: Only 1.8% hallucination rate in code generation versus 4.7% for GPT-4o

• Fixed bugs in minutes: Solves complex debugging issues that previously consumed entire afternoons

• Better test creation: Generates tests that catch bugs other models would miss

• Build complete applications: Go from idea to working prototype in a single session

This level of reliability means you can now:

• Create complete web applications with user authentication and database integration

• Build data processing pipelines that handle real-world information reliably

• Develop mobile app prototypes that can be tested with actual users

• Generate complex algorithms that work correctly on the first implementation

Even if you've never written a line of code, Claude 3.7 lets you create fully-functional applications by simply describing what you want – giving everyone from beginners to experts a powerful tool for building technical solutions.

Unprecedented control over AI reasoning

What truly sets Claude 3.7 apart is its innovative "hybrid reasoning" architecture that adds flexibility to the way AI solves complex problems.

Claude 3.7 gives you complete control over its thinking process by letting you:

• Switch between thinking styles: Get quick answers or deep analysis based on what each task requires

• Control reasoning depth: Tell Claude exactly how thoroughly to analyze each problem

• See the complete solution process: Understand not just what to do, but why it works

• Connect with your development tools: Integrate AI directly into your existing workflow

This strategic reasoning capability means you can now:

• Understand the broader context of your entire project, not just isolated coding tasks

• Break down complex technical challenges into manageable, executable steps

• Tackle problems you would have previously needed to outsource to specialists

• Create sophisticated features you would have otherwise deemed too complex

Once you understand the model, Claude’s new reliability means you'll waste much less time fixing AI-generated mistakes – helping you save hours, or even days, on complex technical problems.

The potential is clear, but unlocking these benefits requires knowing exactly how to configure and prompt Claude 3.7 for your specific needs…

This Friday at 4 PM EST, Dr. Alvaro Cintas is leading a workshop to teach you how to:

• Leverage Claude 3.7 Sonnet's hybrid reasoning for faster and more accurate responses

• Use extended thinking mode to improve complex problem-solving in math, coding, and instruction-following

• Apply effective prompting techniques to get the best results, whether you need quick insights or deep analytical reasoning

• Optimize Claude's API for better performance, including fine-tuning response depth and cost control

By the end of this workshop, you'll know how to use Claude 3.7 — the same approach we’ll be using to create custom workflows throughout 2025.
