Claude 3.7 Sonnet with Intern Riley Bell

In this episode of AI for the Humanities, intern Riley Bell introduces Claude 3.7 Sonnet, a large language model developed by Anthropic. Unlike traditional AI tools, Claude is designed with a “character” framework focused on reasoning and safe, user-friendly interaction. Riley demonstrates Claude’s interface, capabilities with Google Drive and code rendering, and its use in linguistics and writing. The episode also addresses its limitations, such as its October 2024 knowledge cut-off and file size restrictions, as well as the importance of ethical use in academic settings. Viewers will leave with insights into how Claude can enhance learning, analysis, and creativity across humanistic disciplines.
