Claude AI New Thinking Tool: AI can also "think twice before acting"

Have you ever felt helpless about AI's clumsy performance? Anthropic injects breakthrough thinking tools into the star model Claude, allowing AI to stop acting blindly when dealing with complex tasks, but stop and think seriously like humans. This innovation gives Claude a new thinking loop and can be more relaxed when dealing with complex tasks.

In the past, Claude might have been ruthless when facing complex tasks, and the result was often a lot of mistakes. But now, Claude has a thinking tool that can calmly analyze when the task comes and determine whether the information at hand is sufficient. If there is insufficient information, Claude will actively trigger the thinking mechanism, enter the deep thinking mode, and conduct more targeted reasoning for the newly acquired information.

This thinking tool does not require additional hardware support and can be achieved through simple prompt words and tool calls. Anthropic says the technology is particularly suitable for building reliable AI agents, such as customer service robots or decision-making systems, to make them smarter and more reliable.

To verify the effectiveness of thinking tools, Anthropic conducted authoritative benchmarking. In the difficult task of aviation customer service, the Claude pass rate using thinking tool increased from 0.370 to 0.570, with an efficiency increase of 54%. In the retail customer service field, even without optimization prompt words, Claude's pass rate has increased from 0.783 to 0.812.

This innovation from Anthropic paves the way for building more reliable and smarter AI proxy systems. In the future, we may be able to see more AI assistants who "think twice before acting" to show their skills in all walks of life and become human intelligence partners.
