Part 3/7:
What differentiates CLA 3.7 from its predecessors is its architecture that allows for an iterative thinking process. Similar to other thinking models in the market, CLA 3.7 utilizes a "scratch pad" to perform Chain of Thought reasoning before providing a final answer. The transparency of this process is a refreshing change, particularly given Anthropic’s previous focus on security and information protection.
Users of the API can also control how long CLA 3.7 thinks before responding, specifying maximum token limits (up to 128,000). This level of customization is especially beneficial for developers aiming to control budget expenditures when querying the model.
