Anthropic introduced Claude Tag, a new way for teams to collaborate with their AI model, Claude, starting on Slack.
Teams can integrate Claude into selected Slack channels, allowing it to access tools, data, and codebases. By tagging @Claude, users can delegate tasks, and Claude will plan and execute them while remembering relevant channel information. Currently in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, Claude Tag is already generating 65% of Anthropic's product team code and assisting in various non-engineering tasks like handling support tickets and analyzing product metrics.
VibeThinker-3B, a 3 billion parameter model, has been introduced as a compact dense model for enhanced verifiable reasoning.
The model leverages a Spectrum-to-Signal post-training paradigm with curriculum-based supervised fine-tuning, multi-domain reinforcement learning, and offline self-distillation. It scores 94.3 on AIME26, improving to 97.1 with test-time scaling, and 80.2 Pass@1 on LiveCodeBench v6. Additionally, it achieves a 96.1% acceptance rate on unseen LeetCode contests and scores 93.4 on IFEval. These results suggest that compact models can match or exceed larger flagship models like DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5.
Mistral released OCR 4, an enterprise document AI model supporting 170 languages with bounding boxes and self-hosted deployment.
This model includes features like bounding boxes, block classification, and inline confidence scores, enhancing text extraction with context. OCR 4 outperformed other systems in tests, achieving a 72% win rate in preferences and an 85.
