Anthropic launched Claude Design, a prototyping tool powered by Claude Opus 4.7, targeting design workflows and competing with Figma and others. Benchmarks show Opus 4.7 leading in coding and text tasks, with improved efficiency and adaptive reasoning, though early user feedback noted some regressions and stability issues.

Discussions highlighted its cost-efficiency and agentic capabilities compared to Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-5.4. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Codex updates introduced advanced computer-use features enabling fast, agentic control of desktop apps and enterprise software, signaling progress toward practical AGI-like agents.
