Claude 3.7 Sonnet

Anthropic

Claude Sonnet 3.7, released by Anthropic in February 2025, is a large language model from the Claude 3 family featuring hybrid reasoning with configurable extended thinking. It supports a 200K token context window, 64K maximum output tokens (128K in beta), and native image understanding. Sonnet 3.7 targets complex coding, mathematics, and scientific reasoning tasks where extended chain-of-thought processing provides meaningful improvements in output quality.

Alibaba / Qwen

Qwen2.5-Omni-7B is a 7-billion-parameter end-to-end multimodal model from Alibaba, released in March 2025 as part of the Omni series designed to unify perception and generation across text, images, audio, and video in a single model architecture. Unlike pipeline-based multimodal systems, it processes all modalities end-to-end and can generate both text and speech outputs, targeting use cases in voice assistants, multimodal agents, and real-time interactive applications. Its compact size made it notable for on-device and resource-constrained multimodal deployments.
