Benchmarks

Coding

SWE-Bench VerifiedCoding — Real coding tasks pulled from open-source projects — the AI has to find and fix actual bugs. A human-checked version of the original SWE-Bench. Higher is better.

#47 of 59

Reasoning & science

GPQA DiamondScience — Graduate-level science questions in biology, physics, and chemistry — hard enough that subject-matter PhDs score around 65%. Higher is better.

#51 of 61

Robustness

BullshitBench v2Nonsense detection — Given a confidently-worded but nonsensical prompt, does the AI spot that it makes no sense and push back — instead of playing along and inventing an answer? The score is how often it clearly called out the nonsense. Higher is better.

About

Claude 3.7 Sonnet, released February 24, 2025, was Anthropic's first hybrid reasoning model: a single model that could answer instantly or engage an extended-thinking mode where it reasons step by step before responding, with the thinking budget under API control. It launched alongside the first research preview of Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic command-line coding tool.

The reasoning upgrade showed up most clearly in software engineering, where Claude 3.7 Sonnet scored 62.3% on SWE-Bench Verified — up from 49.0% for its predecessor and the best published score of any model at the time. GPQA Diamond rose to 68.0%. It held the top of the Claude lineup for three months until Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 arrived in May 2025.
