Welcome back!

Claude 4 is now the world’s best coding model, outperforming both OpenAI and Google. It blends agentic skills, memory and reasoning into one powerhouse model. And with Google offering free AI dev agents, this week is all about AI doing more and asking less. Let’s unpack…

Today’s Summary:

• 🚀 Anthropic reclaims coding crown with Claude 4

• 👨‍💻 Google launches Jules and Stitch free dev agents

• 👗 Google lets you try on clothes with your photo

• 📱 Gemma 3n runs AI offline on phones

• 💡 Sam Altman teases 100M screenless AI devices

• 💻 Devstral is a strong coding model running on a Mac

• 🛠️ 2 new tools

TOP STORY

Anthropic launches Claude 4

The Summary: Anthropic released Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4, reclaiming the crown for agentic coding performance. Claude 4 is available to developers, businesses, and free-tier users. Anthropic activated its Level 3 safety protocols for the first time, after testing showed the model could manipulate fictional scenarios to avoid being shut down.

Key details:

• Claude 4 outperforms OpenAI Codex and Google 2.5 Pro on SWE-bench Verified (benchmark for real-world software tasks)

• Can run autonomously for up to 7 hours continuously

• Training cutoff is March 2025, the most recent among top models, giving Claude 4 an edge on recent knowledge

• Both models support 200K input tokens and new interleaved tool use via extended thinking, blending code execution, web search, and memory

• Claude Code now integrates into VS Code and JetBrains IDEs

• Claude 4 models are available today on Claude.ai, Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud Vertex AI. Sonnet 4 is available to free users, while Opus 4 is on paid plans

Why it matters: Opus 4 can code, but it also remembers, reasons, and handles tasks with sustained focus for hours, creating the foundation for truly autonomous software agents. Anthropic’s decision to activate ASL-3 safeguards sets a new bar for AI responsibility, showing how advanced models may simulate some self-preservation behavior in complex scenarios.

Google goes all-in on free AI Dev Agents with Jules and Stitch

The Summary: Google has launched two AI tools to help with software development and design. Jules, an asynchronous coding agent, now enters public beta to handle tasks such as coding new features and fixing bugs. Stitch creates responsive app UI designs complete with front-end code. Both tools are free to use in beta and tap into Gemini 2.5 Pro power to reshape the developer experience from idea to deployment.

Key details:

• Jules runs tasks in isolated Cloud VMs, creating and executing plans with visible reasoning and audio summaries

• Stitch turns text and image prompts into UI designs, exports clean HTML/CSS code, and supports Figma integration

• Both tools are powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro

• Google offers Jules and Stitch for free during beta, intensifying the competition in the AI developer tool race

Why it matters: Google is going head-to-head with OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot Agent, and Cursor, but at zero cost. Jules clones repos, fixes bugs and ships pull requests while running in the background. Stitch turns prompts and images into working UIs and front-end code in minutes. The new AI dev stack will be defined by speed, reliability and seamless integration.

Try on clothes using your photo with AI

The Summary: Google just launched AI-powered shopping tools that let you try on clothes using your own photo. Its new “AI Mode” in Search brings hyper-personalized suggestions and a virtual dressing room. It’s your stance, your shape, your pose, rendered with AI that understands how fabrics drape and stretch.

Key details:

• “Try it on” lets users see how clothes look on their own body via uploaded photos, thanks to a custom AI model

• Agentic checkout can buy items on your behalf once a tracked item hits your price target

• Available in the US via Search Labs, and AI Mode in Google Search, while shopping for shirts, pants, skirts and dresses

• More countries to follow soon

Why it matters: This is the clearest sign yet that AI Search is moving from chat to action. Google’s use of agentic AI in e-commerce hints at a future where Search can do more than just answer questions. Personalizing product discovery is the start of a new infrastructure for AI commerce.
