Claude 3.7 Sonnet is Anthropic's first "reasoning" mode with extended thinking mode. Here, we show how to use the model, how to configure the number of thinking tokens, and how to build a simple tool calling agent with Claude 3.7 Sonnet. We also discuss the results on various benchmarks and review some tips / tricks for usage.
