Anthropic's new coding model, Opus 4.5, is praised as the most advanced tool for programming, capable of producing user-focused plans and reliable code without hitting limitations. While it excels in coding and writing, it has minor flaws in editing, highlighting the ongoing evolution in AI coding models.

Apple is reportedly partnering with Anthropic to create an AI coding platform aimed at enhancing software development. This collaboration seeks to leverage Anthropic's expertise in artificial intelligence to streamline coding processes and improve developer productivity.

Lovable, a Vibe coding tool, reports that Claude 4 has reduced coding errors by 25% and increased speed by 40%. Anthropic's Claude Opus 4 has demonstrated strong performance in coding tasks, achieving a 72.5% score in the SWE-bench and sustaining performance over extended periods. Despite competition from Google's Gemini models, Claude 4 is noted for its coding efficiency and effectiveness, with mixed opinions on its overall superiority.
