SFX v3 is our newest sound effects model. Switch with one model_id change for better multi-part prompts, vocals, and fewer clipped high notes.
In conversations longer than two minutes, voice succeeded 32% more often than text-based chat. Voice also resolves longer conversations faster.
A Harvard physicist guided Claude Opus 4.5 through a full quantum chromodynamics research project in two weeks.
Matthew Schwartz describes what happened when he stopped fighting Claude and allowed Claude to find “Claude-shaped” problems. This led him to build BootLoops, a toolkit for exact calculations in quantitative science, which he has been applying across scientific fields alongsid…
Two results show how Claude helps life sciences researchers speed up their work: designing protein binders from scratch and analyzing NMR and LC-MS data to speed chemical analysis.
Nextcloud chose Olmo 3 for fully open, self-hosted AI, earning its highest Ethical AI rating while making local AI practical on consumer hardware.
The MIT professors collaborated to identify the first AI-discovered antibiotic, a scientific breakthrough that is widely recognized as a milestone in AI-driven drug discovery.
