Anthropic Enhances Claude's Reasoning with Dynamic 'Auto' Mode

Anthropic's latest update introduces an intelligent "auto" mode for Claude, enabling it to dynamically adjust its reasoning effort. This innovation promises to optimize the user experience by balancing thoroughness with efficiency, showcasing Anthropic's commitment to cutting-edge Generative AI capabilities. The introduction of the 'reasoning_effort' value also allows for more nuanced performance.

• •Claude now uses an "auto" mode on the backend, deciding per-message if to use extended thinking.
• •A 'reasoning_effort' value pre-determines how hard Claude thinks about a message.
• •This change might explain recent observed shifts in response quality.
