By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent experiment evaluated AI models on their ability to complete complex, end-to-end coding tasks. Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 successfully built a sophisticated web application in 14 hours, a feat that would typically require human engineers several weeks. The cost for this AI-driven development was $251, highlighting the rapid improvements and increasing efficiency of AI in software engineering. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates significant AI progress in complex software development, potentially reducing human engineering time and cost.

    Great experiment testing how good AIs are getting at very ambitious end-to-end coding tasks. Opus 4.7, in 14 hours, was able to build a software package that would take 2-17 weeks of human engineering. It cost $251. The models are still not perfect, but are improving fast. epoch…
