• Claude 3.7 Sonnet is the 1st Hybrid AI Model

• Chegg Sues Google Because of AI Search Results

• AI reconstructs Typed Sentences from Brain Activity

Anthropic
😮 Claude 3.7 Sonnet is the 1st Hybrid AI Model

Anthropic released its latest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, this week and claims it is the company’s “most intelligent model to date.” Claude 3.7 Sonnet shows particularly strong improvements in coding and front-end web development. It’s now available on all Claude plans, including Free users.

Insights for you:

• Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet is the first hybrid reasoning model on the market.

• The hybrid model combines the ability of a traditional AI model like ChatGPT to give instant answers to simple questions, as well as “think” for solutions for complex problems like a reasoning model.

• Users were surprised by its coding abilities, and many examples showed its vast use cases and better design sense.

Chegg
⚖️ Chegg Sues Google Because of AI Search Results

In a lawsuit, Chegg claimed that Google drew on Chegg’s collection of 135 million questions and answers on various subjects in its model training data sets. This lawsuit reflects a larger fear among content providers that AI models are being trained using their proprietary data without consent or compensation.

Insights for you:

• Chegg has sued Google over its AI Overviews, claiming it hurt its traffic and revenue.

• They argue that by scraping websites and providing AI snippets directly in the search results page, Google is killing demand for original content and eroding the financial incentives for companies like them.

• The company is seeking compensatory damages as well as an injunction on Google’s alleged and unfair conduct.

AI Research
🧠 AI reconstructs Typed Sentences from Brain Activity

Meta's AI research team, along with scientists working at Basque Centre Spain, has demonstrated a breakthrough in decoding brain activity, successfully reconstructing typed sentences from brain recordings. They published two studies that advance our understanding of how the human brain processes language.

Insights for you:

• Researchers have successfully reconstructed typed sentences using only non-invasive brain recordings from MEG and EEG.

• An AI model learned and reconstructed the sentences with up to 80% accuracy at the character level.

• The researchers also explored how the brain progressively converts thoughts into specific finger movements.
