Build Anything with Claude 3.7, Here’s How

Claude 3.7 Sonet: Build Anything with the Best AI Model

Key Concepts:

Claude 3.7 Sonet: Anthropic's new AI model, potentially the best in the world, excelling in software engineering, agentic tool use, and design.
Cursor: An AI-powered code editor that integrates with AI models like Claude 3.7 Sonet to enhance coding productivity.
Vectal: An AI startup leveraging Claude 3.7 Sonet and other AI models to provide AI agents for various tasks, including infinite thinking.
YOLO Mode: A feature in Cursor that allows AI agents to automatically execute terminal commands, requiring careful configuration of command allow/deny lists.
CLA Code: Anthropic's autonomous coding tool, an AI agent that operates in the terminal.
MCP (Model Context Protocol): A new standard from Anthropic that allows connecting AI agents to external services like Google Drive and GitHub.
Infinite Thinking: A feature in Vectal that allows AI agents to constantly work on user-defined tasks.

Anthropic released Claude 3.7 Sonet after four months of silence.
The video aims to test the model, integrate it with Cursor, and demonstrate building AI agents.
Vectal has already integrated Claude 3.7 Sonet, offering access to both free and paid users.
Vectal's new "infinite thinking" feature allows AI agents to continuously work on tasks.
Anthropic also released a new reasoning model that displays tokens during reasoning.

SWE Bench Verified: Claude 3.7 Sonet achieves 62% with the default model and 70% with custom scaffolding, surpassing previous models stuck around 49%.
Agentic Tool Use: Claude 3.7 Sonet dominates benchmarks, outperforming even OpenAI's models.
CLA Code: Anthropic's first AI agent, an autonomous coding tool resembling Cursor running in the terminal.

Claude 3.5 Sonet was already the primary coding model for many developers and startups.
The speaker used Claude 3.5 Sonet to build Vectal in two months, a task that would have taken over six months otherwise.
Claude 3.7 Sonet is expected to facilitate the creation of millions of new entrepreneurs by 2025.
It improves design capabilities, including UI and 3D generation.
Example: A 3D game generated by Claude 3.7 Sonet in minutes, demonstrating its creative potential.

Previous Claude models were heavily censored.
Claude 3.7 Sonet significantly reduces unnecessary refusals: 45% in standard mode and 31% in extended thinking mode.
Example: Claude 3.5 refused to provide a fire emoji, while Claude 3.7 readily does so.
Example: Claude 3.5 refused to answer what happens when mixing bleach and ammonia, while Claude 3.7 answers with a warning.

Anthropic focuses on creating practical and useful AI models optimized for real-world use cases.
They prioritize results over hype and benchmarks.
The speaker is switching to Claude 3.7 Sonet in Cursor for its practicality.

2024: Claude as an assistant, helping users get tasks done faster.
2025: Claude as a collaborator, saving users hours of time by handling complete tasks.
2027 (Prediction): Claude as a pioneer (AGI), inventing new solutions, solving problems, and creating cures.
In 2025, Claude is like a full employee, capable of solving problems and accelerating business growth.

Use Vectal to get instructions on installing Cursor on a MacBook.
Download Cursor from cursor.sh.
Create a Cursor account.
Open a project in Cursor by creating or selecting an empty folder.
Update Cursor to the latest version.
The new Cursor UI is powered by the Cursor Agent.
Select Claude 3.7 Sonet or Claude 3.7 Sonet Thinking as the model in the Cursor Agent.
Enable the models in Cursor settings under "Models."
Update Cursor by clicking the update notification in the bottom right corner.

Cursor Tab: Enable for code completion suggestions.
Chat:
- Auto-apply to files outside of context: Recommended.
- YOLO Mode: Allows automatic execution of terminal commands. Use with caution and configure command allow/deny lists.
- Command Allow List: Add safe commands like git status.
- Command Deny List: Add risky commands like rm -rf and fork bombs.
- Delete File Protection: Enable to prevent the agent from deleting files.
- MCP Tools Protection: Configure if using MCP servers.
- Large Context: Keep enabled.
- Collapse Input: Keep enabled.
- Iterate on Lint: Automatically solve linter errors.
Review Changes: Leave at the default setting.
Web Search: Improved web search capabilities within Cursor.
Docs: Add frequently accessed documentation URLs for easy access.
Editor: Copy the speaker's settings.
Terminal: Use command K to access the terminal helper. Select Claude 3.7 Sonet in the terminal helper as well.
Rules: Define rules for the Cursor Agent. Access the speaker's optimized rules in the New Society classroom.

Create a new Python file named game.py.
Provide instructions to Claude 3.7 Sonet to create a full 3D game in game.py.
Instruct the model to install necessary libraries using the terminal.
Emphasize making the game visually impressive and interactive.
Encourage the model to solve errors using code running or terminal execution abilities.
The speaker demonstrates the process of using YOLO mode to autonomously build the game.
The model first lists and activates the testing environment.
The model installs the necessary packages, including the urisa game engine.
The model writes the outline into the game file and then builds on top of that.
The speaker provides feedback and hints to guide the model when it encounters issues.
The speaker emphasizes that while errors may occur, the key is to provide feedback and allow the AI to solve them.

CLA Code is Anthropic's competitor to Cursor, an AI agent that operates in the terminal.
Use Vectal to get documentation on setting up CLA Code.
Install CLA Code globally using npm install -g @anthropic-ai/cla-code.
The speaker demonstrates using Cursor in YOLO mode to install CLA Code.
Initialize CLA Code by running the cla-code command in the terminal.
The speaker attempts to log in to the Anthropic console but finds that CLA Code is currently at capacity.
