Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths

  • Runs for hours on one task without losing the thread or looping
  • Writes notes to itself and picks work back up across sessions
  • Stops and asks when a requirement is ambiguous rather than guessing

Weaknesses

  • Slow and deliberate — a poor fit for anything interactive
  • Safety classifiers add refusals and latency to security and biology work

Released with Claude Sonnet 4 at the first Code with Claude conference.
