  • Syracuse University Introduced Its New AI Platform for Teaching and Learning

    Syracuse University Introduced Its New AI Platform for Teaching and Learning

    IBL News | New York

    Syracuse University, this month, during the forum “AI at Work,” presented its AI platform developed in collaboration with ibl.ai, the parent company of this news service.

    At the center is MentorAI, a platform run entirely inside Syracuse’s cloud tenancies.

    Andrew Joncas, Leader, Architect, and Technology Evangelist, at Syracuse University, explained, “Creating an AI tutor no longer requires prompt-engineering expertise. Instructors upload a syllabus, slide deck, or even an MP4 lecture; Mentor AI generates an agent that can answer student questions, surface key points, or embed directly in Blackboard.”

    Syracuse University owns data and code and pays by the API call rather than per-seat license; therefore, there’s no premium license, and administrators can mix and match models — from OpenAI GPT-4o to Google Gemini or open-source Llama. This approach also allows the university to adopt newer models as they mature.

    The same event highlighted the Blackboard AI Design Assistant, where AI suggests quiz items, assignments, and rubrics, as Michael Morrison stressed, the instructor remains in charge.

  • Anthropic Introduced the Claude 4, with Advanced Features in Coding and Reasoning, and AI agents

    Anthropic Introduced the Claude 4, with Advanced Features in Coding and Reasoning, and AI agents

    IBL News | New York

    Anthropic last week launched Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, which offer advanced features in coding, reasoning, and AI agents.

    “Claude Opus 4 is the world’s best coding model, with sustained performance on complex, long-running tasks and agent workflows. Claude Sonnet 4 is a significant upgrade to Claude Sonnet 3.7, delivering superior coding and reasoning while responding more precisely to your instructions,” advertised the company.

    Both models can use tools like web search and demonstrate improved memory capabilities.

    In addition, the company announced that Claude Code was generally available. It supports background tasks via GitHub Actions and native integrations with VS Code and JetBrains, displaying edits directly in users’ files for pair programming.

    Anthropic, a start-up founded by ex-OpenAI researchers, released four new capabilities on the Anthropic API, enabling developers to build more powerful code execution tools, the MCP connector, Files API, and the ability to cache prompts for up to one hour.

    Claude Opus 4 powers known frontier agent products like Cursor, Replit, Block, Rakuten, and Cognition.

    Anthropic’s Claude 4 models arrived as the company looks to substantially grow revenue. Reportedly, the organization aims to reach $2.2 billion in earnings this year.
