Internal agentic coding eval: 64% vs Claude 3 Opus 38%

Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperformed its own flagship, Claude 3 Opus, at twice the speed and the mid-tier price of $3 per million input tokens (the chunks of text a model reads). In an internal agentic coding test, where the model works through tasks on its own, it solved 64% of problems against 38% for Opus. It launched alongside Artifacts, a panel for editing code and documents Claude creates.
