Anthropic, a startup backed by tech giants Google and Amazon, has released an upgraded artificial intelligence model called Claude 3.5 Sonnet. This new AI model is designed to boost user productivity and collaboration, continuing the rapid advancement of AI technology.
Compared to its predecessor, Claude 3 Opus, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet has shown higher scores on benchmark exams and runs twice as fast. Moreover, it is priced at a fraction of the cost, making it more accessible for software developers.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, likened AI models to cars, stating that they are more fungible, or interchangeable, than physical assets. He explained, “I don’t have to buy them and hold onto them for 20 years. That’s one advantage of our field.”
Anthropic is not alone in pushing the boundaries of AI. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, along with Google and other tech companies, are also making significant advancements in the AI space. Anthropic has made its latest technology available for free through its website and iOS app. Additionally, users can opt into a setting called “Artifacts,” which organizes the content generated by Claude in a window display alongside their conversation with the AI.
In an effort to foster collaboration, Anthropic has introduced a new group subscription plan alongside Artifacts. Amodei sees this as a step towards enabling users to work collectively and produce finished products using the AI model. Anthropic has plans to release more AI models this year, including Claude 3.5 Opus.
“We want to have as fast a release cycle as we can, again, subject to our safety values,” Amodei said, highlighting the importance of maintaining safety protocols while pushing the boundaries of AI technology.
With the release of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Anthropic is revolutionizing performance and collaboration in the AI industry. The enhanced capabilities and affordability of this new model make it a valuable tool for software developers and users alike. As Anthropic continues to innovate, it remains at the forefront of the AI revolution, shaping the future of technology.
