# Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking

> Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet with Extended Thinking — deep reasoning for mathematics, coding, and complex analysis.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking is the Extended Thinking version of Claude 3.7 Sonnet, available through Starrise AI via OpenAI-compatible interface. Extended Thinking is enabled by default — the model performs step-by-step internal reasoning before generating a response, significantly improving accuracy on complex tasks.

## Key Capabilities

* **OpenAI-compatible** — Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK, no other code changes needed
* **Extended Thinking** — Step-by-step internal reasoning enabled by default
* **Deep reasoning** — Expert at mathematics, logic, and multi-step problem solving
* **Long context** — Supports large document processing and multi-turn conversations
* **Streaming** — Real-time token streaming via SSE

## Quick Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl https://ai.alad.com/v1/messages \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "model": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-thinking",
      "messages": [
        { "role": "user", "content": "Solve step by step: A train travels 120 km in 2 hours, then slows down and travels 80 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed for the entire journey?" }
      ]
    }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from openai import OpenAI

  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
      base_url="https://ai.alad.com/v1"
  )

  response = client.chat.completions.create(
      model="claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-thinking",
      messages=[
          {"role": "user", "content": "Solve step by step: A train travels 120 km in 2 hours, then slows down and travels 80 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed for the entire journey?"}
      ]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```python Streaming theme={null}
  from openai import OpenAI

  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
      base_url="https://ai.alad.com/v1"
  )

  stream = client.chat.completions.create(
      model="claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-thinking",
      messages=[
          {"role": "user", "content": "Prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers."}
      ],
      stream=True
  )

  for chunk in stream:
      print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")
  ```
