My thoughts is this model release is driven by the agentic app push if this year. Since to my knowledge all the big agentic apps (cursor, bolt, shortwave) that I know of use claude 3.7 because it’s so much better at instruction following and tool calling than GPT 4o so this model feels like GPT 4o (or distilled 4.5?) with some post training focusing on what these agentic workloads need most
