Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, Flow, AlphaEvolve ā hereās what matters in AI this week (and why it matters to devs).
Anthropic has unveiled Claude 4, featuring two new models - Opus 4, hailed as the worldās leading coding model capable of maintaining deep focus on complex, multi-hour tasks, and Sonnet 4, a steered-up version of Sonnet 3.7 optimized for coding, reasoning, and instructional fidelity.
Google I/O 2025 introduced powerful developer-focused AI tools: Gemini 2.5 Flash for speed, Gemini 2.5 Pro with āthinking budgets,ā and preview access to models like Gemma 3n, Gemini Diffusion, and Lyria RealTime. Plus, Colab is now full of agentic features.
Claude Code is now generally available. It is a developerāfocused, agentic CLI tool that deeply understands and navigates your codebase. It enables naturalālanguage commands to map projects, fix bugs, refactor, triage issues, run tests, and even create / submit PRs directly from the terminal or IDE.
Googleās Flow is an AI filmmaking tool powered by the new Veo 3 as well as Imagen 4 and Gemini. It enables creators to generate cinematic clips with camera controls, scene editing, asset management, and a clip gallery. Itās currently available in the U.S. via Google AI Pro and Ultra plans.
AlphaEvolve is an evolutionary coding agent powered by Gemini that generates algorithm variants, evaluates them automatically, and iteratively refines solutions. It rediscovered or improved algorithms in ~75% of 50 open problems, drove practical gains in matrix multiplication, data center scheduling, and TPU design.
OpenAI has merged with Jony Iveās startup io (coāfounded with Scott Cannon, Evans Hankey and Tang Tan), bringing his LoveFrom design team ināhouse. Together, their goal is to redefine how AI hardware looks and feels, combining deep design care with cuttingāedge AI.
